I'm missing WezTerm from that comparison image/slide posted in the article. Been using WezTerm for almost two years now I think, and I could not be happier. Best terminal emulator hands down.

Toasts are bad UX 2 years ago

A blog post about bad UX that has a video element with controls hidden and autoplay. With autoplay disabled, it can take a while to figure out this thing is a video that just isn't playing...

I have not yet tried Rye, but the installation guide shows me that it's yet another (seemingly new, too) tool that creates yet another folder in the user's home directory (as opposed to ~/.config or ~/.local/share). Why?

Probably not. These settings have been around for a long time already anyway, and they never get overwritten once set, at least in my experience.

Not just a system-wide key/value database, but one with a few optimizations on top, if memory serves me right. It's in-memory first, which I suppose makes it a tad faster and is also neat for reducing disk writes on anything that receives a lot of changes in a short amount of time.

I think the concept is not too shabby. Perhaps not the best execution or tooling, but on paper, it sounds quite useful.

I didn't expect to see Ventrilo anywhere ever again after they've torpedoed themselves off the market when they've stopped distributing their server binaries and people could not self-host anymore.

This is the first time I've heard about (Open)EXR, and it honestly sounds like a pretty neat format. But this article lacks context, and it sorely needs it. PNG has many good uses. Apparently not in the author's chosen domain, and yet they condemn PNG entirely.

Which makes this a highly opinionated piece. And why should I listen to the opinion of somebody who thinks it's necessary to disable context menus on their website?

Impeccable timing, I was just about to try and get into shaders. Thank you so much for writing this, I will be reading it on the weekend.
