Let’s go for my web review for the week 2026-25.Open Source vs the Invisible HandTags: tech, foss, commons, economicsOr why modern economics mostly loose the plot when you try to factor Open Source in there simplistic theories.https://nesbitt.io/2026/06/18/open-source-vs-the-invisible-hand.htmlRecommendations When Using LLM-backed Generative AI Systems for FOSS ContributionsTags: tech, foss, ethics, ai, machine-learning, gpt, copilotA very balanced set of recommendations from the SFC around LLM uses. It’s just the beginning and still lacks a bit in details. It’s very welcome though and I look forward to their updates.https://sfconservancy.org/llm-gen-ai/llm-backed-generative-ai-recommendations.htmlTurn your site into a place people can bump into each otherTags: tech, web, blog, communityI like this idea. It’d be nice if more websites felt like little town squares.https://cauenapier.com/blog/townsquare_release/The world’s first trillionaire is a killerTags: tech, business, politicsPeople excited by accumulating so much wealth (on paper) are clearly showing sociopathic traits…https://www.theverge.com/tech/949259/the-worlds-first-trillionaire-is-a-killerExtinction-level capitalismTags: tech, politics, ethics, economics, ai, machine-learning, gptLong, rich, and sourced piece. Or why the current gold rush aims at accelerating wealth accumulation of a few to the expense of everyone else. If the plans work as intended, the outcome won’t look good.https://matthewbutterick.com/extinction-level-capitalism.htmlDangerous Technology For Americans OnlyTags: tech, europe, politics, ai, machine-learning, gpt, foss, commonsThe latest move by the US government treating LLMs like dangerous weapons tells something about the geopolitical moment. Can we collectively raise to the challenge and build on cooperation instead? It’d be a much better position than assuming governments or big companies will make the right choices for everyone else in isolation.https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/americans-only/It Is Trivially Easy to Use Reddit to Manipulate AI Search, Research SuggestsTags: tech, ai, machine-learning, gpt, fake-news, scam, attention-economyWhat a surprise… It turns out it’s very easy to manipulate AI “search”. Something which operates of statistical similarity to queries, who knew it could be manipulated. 🙄https://www.404media.co/it-is-trivially-easy-to-use-reddit-to-manipulate-ai-search-research-suggests/Report: How Developers React to AI-Scented Blog PostsTags: tech, blog, ai, machine-learning, gptBadly apparently, looks like it makes for prose people avoid. Now the thing is… with the widespread suspicion, some people might be wrongfully flagged as using LLM to write their posts.https://writethatblog.substack.com/p/dev-reaction-to-ai-blog-postsThe Future of the Con Is Already Here, It’s Just Not Evenly DistributedTags: tech, ai, machine-learning, gpt, scam, securityWhat happens when targeted scams become cheap to run? This covers it fairly well, and we need to change our heuristics and trust model.https://manishearth.github.io/blog/2026/06/17/the-future-of-the-con-is-already-here/xan: The CSV magicianTags: tech, data, data-visualization, tools, command-lineLooks like a nice command line tool for exploring data.https://github.com/medialab/xan.gitignore Isn’t the Only Way To Ignore Files in GitTags: tech, tools, version-control, gitNeat little summary on the mechanisms to ignore files in Git.https://nelson.cloud/.gitignore-isnt-the-only-way-to-ignore-files-in-git/Boot Naked LinuxTags: tech, linux, embeddedA good reminder that Linux based systems can be slimmed down quite a bit. Can come in handy for specific devices.https://nick.zoic.org/art/boot-naked-linux/Why stdx is not on crates.ioTags: tech, rust, supply-chain, securityIndeed, skipping the centralized package manager might be better in the long run.https://kerkour.com/stdx-cratesioAsync Task Locals From ScratchTags: tech, asynchronous, memory, rustWondering how those are implemented and the challenges behind them? This is a good exploration of the idea.https://wolfgirl.dev/blog/2026-06-16-async-task-locals-from-scratch/Learn Rust Concurrency By Building a Thread PoolTags: tech, rust, multithreadingThis is an excellent exercise to understand a language and its ecosystem better. This time it is about Rust.https://blog.sheerluck.dev/posts/learn-rust-concurrency-by-building-a-thread-pool/Rust Prevents Data Races, Not Race ConditionsTags: tech, rust, multithreadingSounds obvious to me, but I guess it’s worth repeating. It illustrates well the type of issues you still have to deal with in multi-threaded Rust.https://corrode.dev/blog/rust-prevents-data-races-not-race-conditions/How memory safety CVEs differ between Rust and C/C++Tags: tech, security, memory, rust, c++, cInteresting take on why CVEs are reported differently for C/C++ and Rust libraries. The responsibility for API misuse is treated differently because the abilities to express contracts is treated differently.https://kobzol.github.io/rust/2026/06/15/how-memory-safety-cves-differ-between-rust-and-c-cpp.htmlMemory Management in C++ by Patrice RoyTags: tech, c++, memory, bookLooks like a good book. This review definitely tempts me.https://www.sandordargo.com/blog/2026/06/17/memory-managenent-by-patrice-royParsing JSON at compile time with C++26 static reflectionTags: tech, c++, type-systems, compiler, reflectionThis is really interesting stuff that C++26 brings.https://lemire.me/blog/2026/06/14/parsing-json-at-compile-time-with-c26-static-reflection/Every Frame PerfectTags: tech, ux, graphics, animation, guiIndeed, the intermediate steps in an animation have to make sense too. Too often we think about the start and end point but miss the quality of the transition.https://tonsky.me/blog/every-frame-perfect/Getting Creative with Perlin Noise FieldsTags: tech, graphics, mathematicsSo many possibilities with Perlin noise! There are some really fascinating textures in the lot.https://sighack.com/post/getting-creative-with-perlin-noise-fieldsThe case for real collaborationTags: tech, pairingI still wish our craft would practice pair and ensemble programming more. Somehow it’s been years and it doesn’t really take off unfortunately.https://blog.mikebowler.ca/2026/06/15/collaboration/Nine Questions I Now Ask in Interviews That I Wish I’d Asked Five Years AgoTags: interviewsThis is a good list of questions. Never forget you need to assess the company you’re applying at. To often candidates forget to do it.https://louisedeason.substack.com/p/nine-questions-i-now-ask-in-interviewsWhen Overwhelmed, Slow DownTags: healthThis is sound advice. Especially in this era of chasing productivity at all costs, we tend to not listen to ourselves enough.https://nathanpeterson.net/overwhelmed-slow-down/Bye for now!
