  • Judge rules that Google ‘is a monopolist’ in US antitrust case — udge Amit Mehta ruled in favor of the Department of Justice, writing that Google has maintained a monopoly in the search and advertising markets.
  • Google default search deals break US law, court finds — "This victory against Google is an historic win for the American people," said Attorney General Merrick Garland, in a statement. “No company – no matter how large or influential – is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws."
  • Jason Kint on X — Don't overlook the impact this may have on Apple. Yes, I believe any remedy has to look at forced divestiture of Chrome and Android in addition to killing the exclusive dealing. But if Apple loses its sweetheart deal with Google, it may lose $12B in revenue (mostly profits)
  • Intel is laying off over 15,000 employees and will stop ‘non-essential work’ — After losses, the chipmaker is cutting $10 billion in costs.
  • Puget Systems' Perspective on Intel CPU Instability Issues — Based on this information, we are definitely experiencing CPU failures higher than our historical average, especially with 14th Gen. We have enough data to know that we don’t have an acute problem on the horizon with 13th Gen — it is more of a slow burn
  • seaweedfs — SeaweedFS is a fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, for billions of files! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, cloud tiering.

  • PodcastIndex Dashboard 1.1.0 — rPodcast's Podcast Index Dashboard.
  • Apple Intelligence Early Preview: In-Call Recording, Safari Summaries, New Siri — After testing the first beta version of Apple Intelligence myself, I can tell you that the features don’t yet live up to the excitement.
  • Cabel Sasser - Panic Social — Apple Intelligence in 15.1 just flagged a phishing email as “Priority” and moved it to the top of my Inbox. This seems… bad
  • iOS 18: These Apple Intelligence Features Won't Be Ready Until 2025
  • Forgejo becomes a hard fork of Gitea — his proposed agreement is the outcome of a discussion where a significant number of active Forgejo contributors agreed it should be a decision that is made in accordance to the decision making process. Once implemented, there is no turning back and it will impact the future of Forgejo as a whole.

  • Feedback on Coder Radio 366 — As a C++ developer working on a large, primarily OO codebase, I’ve been writing ever more C++ as “just a pipeline of data transformations.” As you guys mentioned, you can get a lot of benefit even in an OO situation from wrapping a functional “core” up in an object “package.”
  • Functional Core, Imperative Shell — In this screencast we look at one method for crossing this divide. We review a Twitter client whose core is functional: managing tweets, syncing timelines to incoming Twitter API data, remembering cursor positions within the tweet list, and rendering tweets to text for display. This functional core is surrounded by a shell of imperative code: it manipulates stdin, stdout, the database, and the network, all based on values produced by the functional core.
  • Postmodern immutable data structures — We are presenting Immer, a C++ library implementing modern and efficient data immutable data structures.
  • Mike on Twitter — So when I just was getting started I was an #emacs user but had that beaten out of me. I’m thinking of looking back at it on #macOS and #Linux under GNOME any recommendations?
  • Spacemacs: Emacs advanced Kit focused on Evil — Spacemacs is a new way to experience Emacs -- a sophisticated and polished set-up focused on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency.
  • Tinder Bypasses Google Play, Revolt Against App Store Fee — Tinder joined a growing backlash against app store taxes by bypassing Google Play in a move that could shake up the billion-dollar industry dominated by Google and Apple Inc.
  • EmacsWiki: Evil — Evil is an extensible vi layer for Emacs. It provides Vim features like Visual selection and text objects.
  • A personal story about 10× development — The "×ness" of any developer does not exist in a vacuum but depends on many organizational things. The most obvious one is tooling.
  • Shekhar Kirani on Twitter — 10x engineers. Founders if you ever come across this rare breed of engineers, grab them. If you have a 10x engineer as part of your first few engineers, you increase the odds of your startup success significantly.
  • The mythical 10x programmer - — The following is a list of qualities that I believe make the most difference in programmers productivity.
  • rubocop — RuboCop is a Ruby static code analyzer and code formatter. Out of the box it will enforce many of the guidelines outlined in the community Ruby Style Guide.
