Should You Use Ruby on Rails or Hanami?
Link: Should You Use Ruby on Rails or Hanami?: "Let's explore the strengths and weaknesses of Rails and Hanami."
Useful comparison between Hanami and rmRails. I would have expected a Hanami bias. But even in this, I think Rails ends up on top!

Extremely useful package for creating pretty tables for display and publication. Just look at the examples!
Software Needs To Be More Expensive
Link: Software Needs To Be More Expensive: "Software, like coffee, is too artificially cheap, and we need to make it more expensive. I have one suggestion for how to do that."
I agree with the high level argument. The open source situation does need a solution. But in general, we need to find ways to pay software developers more for the work they put into writing software. Wait! What do I mean? We have trained the world to expect to pay $0 for software that took huge numbers of person months to create. $4.90 is expensive! I know this is how the market weeds out useless products. But lots of useful ones need to fight this too. Try-before-you buy should remove the risk factor. But once you adopt an app and use it regularly then be willing to pay a serious amount for a serious app. People just don't have a sense of how much time and effort it takes to create even something as simple as an exellent solitaire game.

So your teacher wants you to do open source
Link: So your teacher wants you to do open source: "If your teacher (or tutorial/video/hackathon/etc) says "go do X in an open source project" and then sends you off unsupervised, they haven't adequately prepa..."
Teachers, like me, might think it’s a good idea to suggest that students do a quick open source contribution. This article explains why that might be doing harm to the project’s.
Designing a Pure Python Web Framework · Reflex Blog
Link: Designing a Pure Python Web Framework · Reflex Blog: ""
Another web app stack written in pure python. Claim to fame seems to be that it compiles pure python into a react front and and a FastAPI back end. Programmer does not need to know JavaScript, html, css etc. Which is nice. But for me personally it’s not the kind of structure I would want. But still worth a look I think!
Kamal: hot deployment tool to watch—or a total game changer?—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
Link: Kamal: hot deployment tool to watch—or a total game changer?—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog: "The SRE pros at Evil Martians attempt an objective analysis of the promises, applications, and potential of Kamal (formerly known as MRSK), plus things to watch out for."
An excellent review and investigation of the new hotness in cloud deployment, Kamal. Alternative to K8S and k3s, supposedly much simpler.

I just came across this set of tutorials and ROS1 and 2 tutorials. From a sample of a few I can say that they are really excellent!
Introduction | Foxglove | Docs
Link: Introduction | Foxglove | Docs: "Foxglove helps teams explore, collaborate on, and ultimately make sense of their data more efficiently."
I have seen this demoed. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks great. In summary (I think) it is an RVIZ++ but that runs in a web browser. So, you can for example access it from an iPad or a non-Linux computer. Looks very useful.
