I rather like this infographic warning to new employees (or candidates) wondering whether a particular firm has a toxic culture (from Victoria Repa/LinkedIn).

Sadly it seems to be widely applicable & certainly would be something for anyone developing a career to be thinking about when considering their next steps....

One way to resist toxic management culture is not to collude with the firms that facilitates it... but if you cannot avoid these firms at least be fore-warned!

Listen, I'm not going to pretend that I'm even remotely surprised, but I will tell you that this is a slap in the face to every person in the infosec community that has worked to track and thwart Russian APTs for the last several decades.

The EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes Michiel Leenaars of the Dutch NLnet Foundation in an interview with netzpolitik.org. Together with his team, he supports open-source, free solutions — funded by the EU. But that could soon come to an end.

My recent adventures with Rust inspired me to rewrite Easymark, my simple Rust utility to render a markdown file in your default browser, with many more features and better code. Here's the result, on GitHub and completely open source. If you run it with no arguments you're prompted with an open file dialog. If you want to skip this step, just pass the path to a file on the command line. In either case, the selected filed should be rendered in your default browser.

R.I.P. James Harrison, Australian hero, whose blood contained a rare antibody used to create medication to protect babies from a rare blood disorder. Having the antibody was just luck. What made him a hero was donating plasma every two weeks without missing one appointment for 60+ years. There's power in just reliably showing up for other people who need what only you can give them.

Přemýšlím, jak se na vysoký nárůst teplot doma připravit už teď. Vysázet stromy, ať mám všude kolem domu stín? Instalace klimatizace, když to je právě to, co zvyšování teploty pomáhá? Natřít barák na bílo? Všude trávník místo dlažby a vodní nádrže k zalévání? Venkovní žaluzie? Rekuperace (netroufám si říct, kolik miliónů by taková rekonstrukce jednopatrového desítky let starého baráku mohla stát a jestli se to vyplatí)?

@margo @OttovonWenkoff Mohlo by to být téma, i když hlučnější než naše rodina (a hlavně děti) ta klimatizace asi nebude 😀 Čistě teoreticky (a kdyby tomu vybranému bytu dala banka zelenou) bychom nikoho rušit nemuseli, nad námi i pod námi bude dispozice stejná. Čili abych nebyl úplně mimo téma - kde technicky klimatizace lze, tam bych ji chtěl a zkoušel ji pouštět co nejméně.
in reply to Marek Demčák

@marekzprahy Musím říct, že s tím máme neblahou zkušenost z posledního bytu. Člověk v bytu pod námi si pořídil klimu a když jsme měli v létě v noci otevřené okno, byla ta venkovní jednotka slyšet až doprostřed 100m2 bytu. Za pár měsíců jsme se stěhovali, takže jsme to už neřešili, ale bydlet tam trvale, tak s tím máme problém.

Problém je, že nikdo dopředu neví, jak hlučné to bude a jak to bude ostatní rušit. Dodavatel vám řekne, že vám dát tišší jednotku, o které nebudou sousedi ani vědět. A jak je to nainstalované, zjistíte, že realita je jiná.

Flow –the animated sensation of the year– was created in Blender! Francesco had a chat with director Gints Zilbalodis to discuss his experience working on the film. The interview covers topics such as learning Blender, working with a team (actually multiple small teams), using add-ons, and single-handedly lighting and rendering the film.

Why am I still wearing a mask in 2025? For exactly the same reasons I wore it in 2021. Because nothing has changed.

Except maybe the way people look at me. But funny looks don’t transmit viruses. Aerosolized particles do.
