julienfr112··on Self-contained highly-portable Python distributions
It kind of worked, but had some problems, like mostly targeted to mac os (probably the dev env) but not so much with linux. And could maybe do to much, with a flaky configuration in https://starlark-lang.org/. I've spend some hours trying to make it work for my use case, but it ended beeing wasted time...

julienfr112··on Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants
If Germany power prices are so low, why are Germans power bills so high ? Maybe you are cherry picking spot/marginal price and not netting the subsides ?

julienfr112··on Why software stocks are getting pummelled
I told to my colleague that it would take less time for me to vibe code jira that it would take him to configure it. Sounds crazy ? Not so much : factor the part of jira you use (maybe 10%), the many choices and dimensions you have to configure, the time it take and the complexity it bring. On the other side, the vibe code version have only the fields you want, most of the logic hard written in code (ie epic > story >task...), and that you could do anything any role, any authentication scheme.
julienfr112··on Benchmarking OpenTelemetry: Can AI trace your failed login?

julienfr112··on Authentication with Axum
Absolutely, there is a confusion with same-site=strict, witch effecively prevent XSS.
julienfr112··on Pyrefly vs. Ty: Comparing Python's two new Rust-based type checkers
Most of the time, you want the type to be dynamic in a scripting langage, as you don't want to expose the types to the user. With this in mind, rhai and rune are pretty good. On the python front, there was also the pyoxidizer thing, put it seems dead.

julienfr112··on Google loses EU court battle over €2.4B antitrust fine
The question is not the monopoly by itself, it's to conquer other market by abusing it's power. If you own search and mobile os, without régulation, what could you prevent to own mobile service, then fiber, then delivery then car, then train, then whatever ?

julienfr112··on The "Monad Tutorial Fallacy" (2009)
Like models, all abstraction are False, but some are usefull. I never found Monad to be usefull : a abstraction shared by async/await and map/list comprehension is for me a bad abstraction, because as a developper I typically want to know if I'm dealing with the former or the later. And want to manually combine them, like with gather.

julienfr112··on BYD's new EV, starting under $10K, is stoking fear among rivals
"at a loss" can be very different depending on : - is it pure marginal cost ? - do you include a part of R&D cost ? - do you factor large capex (factory, stamping press, and silicon fab in related industries ) - how do you compute depreciation ?

When you see the gap between accounting in the West and "accounting" in China, "at a loss" has no meaning at all.
