Bold of you to talk about arrogance… Besides, I've never met a physicist or a (real) engineer who would go to such lengths to oversimplify the math part, even if it was only “tange…

Maybe I should’ve been more clear: what I meant is that these programmers-oriented resources are all about applications…maybe a bit too much. For instance, In this book I cannot fi…

Why are programmers always so attracted by these interactive/over-simplified/lightweight versions of linear algebra? They all focus on the visual aspects while ignoring the real st…

What do you mean by that? Are you referring to Codeberg? Out the frying pan straight to the fire...

Call me back when you can run these models on 16GB of RAM and any recent i5/i7. Until then, there’s no point on using these toy models.

> I don’t think a good learning resource gets worse[...] Probably not, but they become irrelevant. The other day I found an old programming book at my parents’ and while it was sti…

Blog tutorials, guides, programming books and youtube tutorials. They are completely irrelevant in a time where you have a personal tutor willing to explain every single detail of …

Man these kind of resources have aged really bad in the age of AI.

What’s the appeal of an editor like Emacs in 2026? Why’d anyone still use when most jobs nowadays require you to work inside a container (and therefore use VSCode container extensi…

What I don’t understand is why people dismiss this kind of progress with false claims. Especially when discussing programming, people start to act irrational using arguments from b…

Not true anymore since like early 2025 and especially since last December.

It’s basically up to the domain experts. What I found interesting in mathematical optimization/combinatorics (my fields of interest) when an AI proved some major results some time …

I used to follow your blog about 15 years ago, what a blast of nostalgia! I’ll add it to my RSS feed. Keep it up.

I know this book is not intended to be used as a first reading on Linear Algebra but, to me, this text isn’t good even for a second(or a third) read. The author hurries up too much…

The day Debian will make this immutable stuff mandatory will be the day I will ditch Linux from my computer.

Tried it for the first time 15 years ago and never looked back since then. Coming from Slackware, I remember feeling relieved due to the automatic dependency management. I just won…
