Windowing, menu bar, and background processes come to iPadOS
For years now – it feels more like decades, honestly – Apple has been trying a variety of approaches to make the iPad more friendly to power users, most notably by introducing, and subsequently abandoning, various multitasking models. After its most recent attempts – Stage Manager – fell on deaf ears, the company has thrown its hands up in the air and just implemented what we all wanted on the iPad anyway: a norm … ⌘ Read more

‘Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to Google’
If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be an engineer at Google during the early to late 2000s, here you go. Now even though Google is fundamentally a spyware advertising company (some 80% of its revenue is advertising; the proportion was even higher back then), we Engineers were kept carefully away from that reality, as much as meat eaters are kept away from videos of the meat industry: don’t think about it, jus … ⌘ Read more

** More stink **
I read A Court of Throne and Roses this weekend. Not my usual fare but what the heck it was there so I read it. I found it to be an unremarkable, relatively conservative romantasy.

What stood out to me, though, is that everyone is so stinky. The main character is always describing how folks smell, smelling them before they round a corner and stuff. Even if they don’t like smell bad, this setting seems overwhelming perfumed. ⌘ Read more

10 Recent Times the Earth Acted Bafflingly Strange
We like to think Earth is a well-oiled planetary machine—spinning reliably, shifting gradually, and following natural rhythms. But every now and then, it throws us a curveball. From pulsating seismic events to disappearing landmasses and bizarre atmospheric phenomena, these recent examples prove that our planet still has secrets. Whether explained after the fact or still […]

How can one write blazing fast yet useful compilers (for lazy pure functional languages)?
I’ve decided enough is enough and I want to write my own compiler (seems I caught a bug and lobste.rs is definitely not discouraging it). The language I have in mind is a basic (lazy?) statically-typed pure functional programming language with do notation and records (i.e. mostly Haskell-lite).

I have other ideas I’d like to explore as well, but mainly, I want the compiler to be so fast (w/ optimisations) that … ⌘ Read more

What’s your go-to message queue in 2025?

The space is confusing to say the least.

Message queues are usually a core part of any distributed architecture, and the options are endless:
Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis {Pub-Sub, Streams}, Cloud Providers {AWS SQS, Kinesis; Google Pub/Sub; Azure Event Hubs, Service Bus}, Pulsar, ZeroMQ… and then there’s the “just use Postgres” camp for simpler use cases.

I’m trying to make sense of the tradeoffs between:

Ten FBI Facts You Won’t Believe Are True
The FBI is definitely one of the most interesting organizations of any involved in the United States government.

When I chose the MIT license for all of my software, I thought:

“Should I use GPL, which I don’t really understand? Is that worth it? Yeah, there is a theoretical possibility that some company might use my code in their proprietary product … and then what? Should I sue them to enforce the GPL? I’m not going to do that anyway, so I’ll just use the MIT license.”

And now we have those LLM scrapers and now it’s suddenly a reality that these companies (ab)use my code. I can see it in my logs. I didn’t expect that back then.

GPL wouldn’t help, either, of course. (Regardless, I now think that GPL would have been the better choice anyway.)

I’m honestly considering taking my code and website offline. Maybe make it accessible through some obscure protocol like Gopher or Gemini, but no more HTTP.

(Yes, Anubis might help. Temporarily.)

I’m just tired.

Flatpak “not being actively developed anymore”
At the Linux Application Summit (LAS) in April, Sebastian Wick said that, by many metrics, Flatpak is doing great. The Flatpak application-packaging format is popular with upstream developers, and with many users. More and more applications are being published in the Flathub application store, and the format is even being adopted by Linux distributions like Fedora. However, he worried that work on the Flatpak project itself had stagnated, a … ⌘ Read more

Genode OS Framework 25.05 released
It’s been 9 years since we disrupted Genode’s API. Back then, we changed the execution model of components, consistently applied the dependency-injection pattern to shun global side effects, and largely removed C-isms like format strings and pointers. These changes ultimately paved the ground for sophisticated systems like Sculpt OS. Since then, we identified several potential areas for further safety improvements, unlocked by the evolution of the C++ core langu … ⌘ Read more
