Insights and questions from the original waterfall paper

The waterfall model is probably the most reviled methodology in software engineering. This methodology was first described in a 1970 paper by Dr. Winston Royce. This paper didn't call it waterfall, nor did it endorse the technique, and the paper contains a lot of good insights...

Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

from David Heinemeier Hansson [alt+shift+b] in programming

9 months ago

Rust Gotcha: last() on DoubleEndedIterator

from Quentin Santos [alt+shift+b] in programming

6 months ago
tl;dr: don’t call last() on a DoubleEndedIterator How do you efficiently get the last part of a space-separated string in Rust? It will be obvious to some, but the obvious answer of s.split(' ').last() is wrong. The mistake is easy to make; I encountered it in a recent MR I...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
