A very random collection this week, with some prepping research.
The Life-Sized City report from Berlin is pretty cool, so is the one about building a simple game in different engines, I also liked the post about microservices.
Friday Links 25-06
A few uplifting stories about urbanism and science this week.
I also really liked the video about the empty virtual world and browsing through Moby's gratis track collection.
Friday Links 25-05
Many podcasts this week. I really loved the one with Cyndi Lauper.
I did enjoy the one with Kent Beck and basically all the engineering and leadership ones.

I have been slacking recently, today you are getting a bigger dose of links.
If you want to listen to something nice, have a look at the episode about developer productivity and about keeping our food fresh.

Very random collection of links today.
The podcast about how cars change us is pretty good, so is the one about how drugs can influence the brain.

I have been lazy and travelling over the last few Fridays. Today is a catch-up post, with quite a few links.
I recommend the podcast about the Reiser story today and the video about the first BMX park in Nigeria.

This week's recommendations: the podcast about lawns and why cars are so scary at Halloween.
Friday Links 24-28
Mostly urbanism links today.
This week I recommend the talk by Cabel Sasser, it's weird and fun.
Friday Links 24-27
Many links today, as I skipped some Fridays due to business and problems with my local workflow for links, which should finally be fixed.
This week I especially enjoyed the video about donated bikes for Ukraine and the podcast Shell Game about scary AI stuff.

If you want to go into a niche topic, watch the one about fire departments in the US, and now they affect cities.
I also enjoyed the blog from Google about Rust adoption.

The experience of the creator of "One Million Checkboxes" is a fun read. You never know what you will find in your logs.
I also liked the interview with Michael Feathers.
Friday Links 24-24
I am still enjoying the Book Overflow podcast, this time with John Ousterhout.
The podcast about the UK environmental agency is also great, and depressing.
Friday Links 24-23
I was a bit distracted last Friday, so it is another double week today.
I truly enjoy the Bookoverflow podcast. Some of the books I know already, and find the different perspectives interesting. Some of the other books I do plan to read now.
For something entirely different: The Orkneyinga Saga and Fed podcasts.
Friday Links 24-22
This week, I can recommend the long read about the Stream Deck, the one about books, and the discovery about a 55 year old bug in a game.
Last week, my automation for these failed, so you have to endure twice as many links today.
I also said that I wouldn't post depressing news any more. I am sorry, but the climate crisis and pollution made me do it, so it is your fault really.
Friday Links 24-21
I enjoyed reading the PySkyWiFi hack! This happens when engineers are bored.
Friday Links 24-20
This week I have been enjoying the audio archive of The Famous Computer Cafe, a radio show from the eighties with many famous guests of the home computer area. There are definitely some parallels to the present.
The X Windows history is also great.
Today's post does contain plenty of throwbacks.
Friday Links 24-19
Clearing up my backlog again!
A lot of fun stuff in the random section. I did enjoy the podcast about getting or not getting into Berghain, and the one about the Stereophonic play.
The ongoing research into the XZ backdoor also continues to be interesting.
