• An essential reading list curated by Brandon Rhodes (still under construction).
• Interesting read for anyone working with any kind of data, about what data ca or can't do. Numbers don’t lie, except when they do..
• A set of lectures covering topics related to computing that is left to learn by the student in a standard CS study. Useful also for non-CS people.
• Entertaining talk about usability and the oddities of character encodings.
• A long piece on technology, policy, and democracy.

Quite some Rust this week. As a self-taught programmer, and mostly experienced in Python, I find Rust a very interesting language. Furthermore two articles more towards my past self: photography, and network science.

• Insightful analysis on social norms involving the nature of Open Source work.
• One of the best explanations on the distinction between String and &str in Rust, extremely empathic in it's tone. I really like when articles manage to compare things across languages. Bonus: A more extensive and fun read on memory management between C adn Rust very much centered around strings.
• Some more Rust, learning it the dangerous way via porting a C application. Very good read, very instructive, and very detailed.
• A long piece on computational photography. After reading this, I started to respect cellphone cameras/photography and their improvement over time.
• Science divulgation article on how propagation works in networks. Quite nice animated visualizations.

This month, quite sided towards git topics. I guess it's correlated with my intention to improve my use of git as a tool.

• Interesting use of the malleability and dynamic nature of Python to help debugging tricky situations (talk and transcription).
• Impressive ingenuity in debugging via reverse engineering an issue in GTA Online.
• How to do a good code review. See also the further reading section.
• How to write a git good commit message, including handy The seven rules of a great Git commit message.
• Great explanation on how to use .gitignore files, the role of the local versus the global one.
• On the values embedded in different code editors. BONUS: An excellent talk (youtube) on values embodied by programming languages.
