Reflections on the 0.28 release of GNU Mes and the end of the beginning.

Last week, I received confirmation from my college's human resources department I was awarded tenure. If you ever worked in the academic world, you know how big of a deal this is. In our fast moving and ever-increasingly unstable world, it is a pretty strange feeling to know you have a stable,…

Most of my modules these days are XS. Devel::Cover tells me the one line of Perl in them is fully covered and says little about the C underneath. Devel::XSCover fixes that with a single command.

As with my last post on AI, let me open with a statement: Just because most people hold AI a certain way, doesn’t mean that we always must, either now or in the future. As I noted in that piece, and my shades of gray post, I am well aware — and agree with — the notion that a lot of frontier AI…

After some cleanup and refactor, I’ve published the code of the KDE builder dashboard that I wrote about some days ago to invent.kde.org/ivan/kde-builder-dashboard. I tweaked the look a bit. Failed projects are now on the top, and missing optional dependencies only take 33% of the screen. This is…
