January Links

• Julia Evans on Examples of floating point problems and Examples of problems with integers
  It’s good to get have some additional concrete examples of what often feel like abstract concerns.

• Future of Memory Safety: Challenges and Recommendations
  Consumer Reports wades into the programming language safety debate? The source and timing are both mildly hilarious, but it’s a good high level overview.

• Geoff Greer on Software Rot
  Sometimes rewriting from scratch is not the worst option.

• Jessica Kerr on Resilience and Waste in Software Teams
  Yes.

• Steven Wittens with Use.GPU Goes Trad
  This is not really my space, but I have a weak spot for folks who seem to be revisting assumptions about how things can work.

• Automerge 2.0 is released!
  I’ve been looking forward to this batch of improvements for a while now. I’m especially excited about the memory improvements, which should make this a much more practical option for a bunch of use cases.
