They All Use It (thorstenball.com)
Last week, at a conference, I had a random hallway conversation with another engineer. We ended up talking about Zed and he told me he’ll try it, but does it have any AI features? If so, can you turn them off?

Using gRPC for (local) inter-process communication (2021) (mpi-hd.mpg.de)
Using a full-featured RPC framework for IPC seems like overkill when the processes run on the same machine. However, if your project anyway exposes RPCs for public APIs or would benefit from a schema-based serialisation layer it makes sense to use only one tool that combines these—also for IPC.

Call for Developer Projects (github.com/bluesky-social)
The last few weeks have seen a swell of developer interest in atproto. Welcome! The protocol is maturing, and now is a great time for early adopters to jump in and start building. This post lists some projects which we think would be good fits for the protocol, and could be built by independent teams today. They span the range from helper tools to full applications.

Using uv with PyTorch (astral.sh)
The PyTorch ecosystem is a popular choice for deep learning research and development. You can use uv to manage PyTorch projects and PyTorch dependencies across different Python versions and environments, even controlling for the choice of accelerator (e.g., CPU-only vs. CUDA).

Hand Tracking for Mouse Input (2023) (chernando.com)
The other day I saw the launch of Apple Vision Pro, the whole thing was very interesting, but one thing that caught my attention was the finger input. It seems very intuitive, by using the finger pinching as sort of like a cursor or mouse input. I figured I want to try it out, so I took it upon myself to create it.

What Is ServiceNow? (fillout.com)
When something broke in the ’90’s, you’d reach for paper and fill out a support ticket. You, in this division at this company, have this exact problem with the Xerox machine in room X on floor Y. Drop the paper in your outbox, and the mail clerks would whisk it away to the service desk’s inbox. After three to five business days (if you were lucky) your request would be fulfilled.
