In France car parks with space for 80 cars or more are now required by law to be covered with solar panels.
- Parks between 80-400 spaces have 5 years to comply

For people asking what is it about, it's about #Python Steering Council (if I'm not mangling the title) suspending a core developer. Search around if you're really interested, but really, don't. It's not a nice story.

Because the normal Internet is dying (for many reasons), I'm getting a lot of information from YouTube these days. It kinda works, but it bears reminding myself once in a while just how inefficient it really is: a video about "my favorite way of focusing Fujifilm cameras" should not be 40 minutes long.

Trying to resist from posting anything about the current shit show in #python land is really hard, given what people are boosting into my stream. The only reason that's holding me back is that nobody is listening to anyone, so it's going to be in vain. I wish there'd be a tag to filter it out.

Should you use CRA? Not even once.
This has always been true, but only in the last couple of years have its creators acknowledged as much. And yet, they're pulling the same shit Facebook pulled when they failed to signpost to the community the scale of infrastructure necessary to keep their baroque JS in check.
Lies by omission are still material.

A point I buried in a footnote last week, but should probably draw out:
We know that frontend is wallowing in irresponsiblity because regretted approaches continue to spread (e.g., CRA, "CSS-in-JS", etc.) *even when their creators disavow them*. Why? Because those "leaders" do not put warning signs on their abandonware. They do not do the right thing and strongly recommend that users avoid those systems.
Don't believe me? Check out CRA's home page:

This tracks: years ago I saw a CS report on the prevalence of programming bugs in Excel spreadsheets that found about the same number of bugs per LoC-equivalent as in Visual BASIC written by low-proficiency programmers. Spreadsheets encourage spaghetti code and opaque variable naming: meanwhile spreadsheet debugging tools are stuck in the stone age (i.e. 1970s). The defect rate goes down in organizations where spreadsheets are developed by the IT department, not MBAs …

Hmm. You’re going to piss off a lot of customers, Starbucks, if this is now a thing.

I maintain an Android app that doesn't get any new features. I still have to keep upgrading it once in a while. The amount of deprecations I have to deal with is crazy. It takes a day each time I touch the app to just get it working with the latest Android Studio. I am not even fixing any bugs or adding features. All this running just to stay in the same place.
Now ask me if I will consider using cloud platform services from the same company that's responsible for Android.

Google adopts @cryspen's formally verified libcrux Rust implementations for ML-KEM and post-quantum algorithms.
“These implementations will be AVX2-optimized, verified in F* and translated into C." for use by Google, and beyond.
Congrats @franziskus & team!

Does your team need to adopt complex, expensive, and hard to operate JS frameworks for your frontend? A handy guide!

- Should your team adopt React/Angular/etc.? Only if your site needs to be an SPA. (remote)
- Does your site need to be an SPA? Only if data gets updated many times in the same session (either by the user or the server) or in cases where access to underlying hardware is critical to the experience. (remote)
- One helpful way to think about these tradeoffs is through the lens of session depth and data model locality. It only makes sense to move your components to the client if you're also moving your data to the client. And *that* only makes sense if sessions are so long that you can amortize up-front costs based on subsequent use. (remote)
