회사는 주동자를 짜르고 몰락시키고, 투항자도 전기/후기 나누고 손해배상이라는 형태로 얽어매는 식으로 접근하고 있는데 이게 본사는 몰라도 계열사의 이익이 될런지 모르겠다. 이미 망가진 브랜드 그냥 버려버리겠다고 하면 그럴 수는 있겠는데... 창작도 수익도 없는 비즈니스에 무슨 가치가 있을까 싶다.

En septembre, c’était la deuxième fois que je rencontrais Pierre Bordage et que je discutais avec lui de l’écriture de nouvelles. Il m’avait l’air particulièrement fatigué.
À la fin du festival, au moment de partir, mon épouse m’a murmuré : va dire au revoir à Pierre Bordage, tu n’auras peut-être plus l’occasion de le faire. Ne fait pas comme avec Philippe Curval !
Elle avait raison.
Merci Pierre pour toutes ces nouvelles et ces romans, merci d’avoir tracé la voie de la SF francophone.
is there an equivalent to `cargo ws publish --publish-as-is` that's concurrent?
sequential publishing of all workspace crates is... long. I'll do it myself like I did for arborium in CI but... I don't want to.
did you know: if your postgres backups break (again), WALs will pile up and what should fit in 800MB can take 20GB+ over the course of a couple weeks.
I think my least fave thing about .NET GUI apps becoming popular online is that MS has successfully convinced people who only use Windows that any .NET app is effortlessly cross-platform. So I run into people who have completely untested Linux and Mac builds spat out by CI, that they swear up and down work, and that crash on launch for anyone who actually wants to use them on those platforms.
나는 거북이야 (대충 여기에 거북이목 입력)
I’ve spent a scary amount of time with #Ruby and #RubyOnRails (nearly 2 decades at this point) and given the recent developments in the community and circumstances in general vigorously gesturing at everything I though I'd explore what's out there.
I decided to try #Rust for web dev. I have to say that I dubbed my toes regularly into Rust but never used it extensively and never learned it properly. It seems I reread the Rust Book like every three years and I still can’t fully grasp it. I did Advent of Code this year with Rust. Finished all the tasks. So I felt I might try as well something else.
Anyway, I did a quick search. I got to https://www.arewewebyet.org/ — it says “Yes! And it's freaking fast!” so I was encouraged. I looked at what it recommends and off I went.
So here's a rare thread. I’m doing a series of posts because I want to vent a bit and "be wrong on the internet" in hope that someone’s gonna set the record straight and I will learn something. A thread will hopefully make it easier for the hivemind to address individual points.
PLEASE, REPLY TO THESE POSTS.
Anyway, here we go. 🧵
outgoing NYC mayor Eric Adams says his next project will involve "using cryptocurrency to go after violence, educate our children and deal with antisemitism" and it occurs to me that "use X to do Y" statements are one of the more direct windows you get into how someone has constructed their notions of how the world really works.

KrebsOnSecurity.com celebrates its 16th anniversary today! A huge “thank you” to all of our readers — newcomers, long-timers and drive-by critics alike. Your engagement this past year here has been tremendous and truly a salve on a handful of dark days. Happily, comeuppance was a strong theme running through our coverage in 2025, with a primary focus on entities that enabled complex and globally-dispersed cybercrime services.
I'll add this spoiler, from the end:
"I am happy to report that the first KrebsOnSecurity stories of 2026 will go deep into the origins of Kimwolf, and examine the botnet’s unique and highly invasive means of spreading digital disease far and wide. The first in that series will include a somewhat sobering and global security notification concerning the devices and residential proxy services that are inadvertently helping to power Kimwolf’s rapid growth."

🐍🗓️6️⃣ The dateutil library is a popular and powerful Python library for dealing with dates and times.
However, it still supports Python 2.7 by depending on the six compatibility shim, and I’d prefer not to install it for Python 3.10+.
Here’s how I replaced three uses of its relativedelta in a couple of CLIs that didn’t really need to use it.

An interesting diplomatic communication today from #France toward #Russia: https://onu.delegfrance.org/france-reaffirms-its-support-for-international-space-law
"France reaffirms its support for international space law, which must be complemented by confidence-building and transparency measures, as well as by the development of norms of responsible behavior.
"In the face of threats, our primary safeguard remains compliance with the international legal regime applicable to outer space, and first and foremost the 1967 Treaty, which is its cornerstone.
"In this regard, France reiterates its concern about the potential placement of weapons of mass destruction in outer space, which would constitute a flagrant violation of Article 4 of the 1967 Treaty, and a major threat to international peace and security.
"In addition, France is involved in ongoing discussions in the competent bodies on ways to prevent an arms race in outer space. The most appropriate approach to this end is the development of norms of responsible behavior that promote mutual understanding and reduce the risks of uncontrolled escalation. These norms could serve, if necessary, as a basis for the subsequent development of new legally or politically binding instruments."
Announcement! 
with the aim of making the project more community-based, the idea is to have a weekly meeting for anyone who wants to chat, exchange ideas, share knowledge, and contribute to the project.
The first meeting will be at 1 p.m. (UTC) on Wednesday, November 5 on the IRC channel #gancio on irc.libera.chat and on a jitsi channel that will be shared there (and here).
we will talk about the status of the project and of release 2.x
feel free to stop by. 
In that case, why don't we make every child born here automatically British? I'm sure Reform would be jumping for joy.
Number of people who say Britons must be born in UK is rising, study shows

Carl Sagan called it over 30 years ago. And the saddest thing is that too many under 30 don’t even know what the fuck he was talking about. For the very reasons he was talking about. #WASF
If like me you have a mental model that SQLite doesn't accept outside contributions you should update it, I just got called out by D. Richard Hipp for spreading that misinformation in a comment on Hacker News
They DO accept contributions, but are very selective (only ~37 contributors total so far) and require a signed public domain release https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/29/copyright-release/

altbot v2.5 is out!
fixed non-english support! switched to a two model setup: gemma3:1b handles translations while qwen3-vl does the image processing stuff. gemma3:1b is surprisingly good at translations for such a tiny model??
now running 23.7gb out of 24gb vram on my server, but everything stays hot and loaded so no cold start penalty (which would have been very bad for power usage especially)
also pixelfed should work again since thes gdpr update (hopefully?? i don't have an account to test with so if you're on pixelfed lmk if it breaks)

edit: reworded "vision stuff" to "image processing stuff" poor word choice on my part, was thinking about the term VLLM (Vision Large Language Model) when writing that

What I'm listening to today: "Ondes Martenot + Montreal Assembly's Count to Five pedal", Light
Cross-century ambient music (or we're closer to Satie than Eno here, so "furniture music"?). A 1930s proto-synthesizer¹ arranged via the thing "guitar pedal" means in the 2020s (a microcontroller/computer in a small box with a foot interface). Slow cinematic score for establishing shots, sunbeams, people in dim cafes waiting for something
