The #ACCUConf conference in the sunny UK wrapped up a week ago, and now it's time to reflect. I've gathered my thoughts on the talks, key themes, and the current state of C++ and Rust development in a trip report. omniverse.ru/blog/2026/07...

A brilliant talk by @matt.godbolt.org at @accuorg.bsky.social ACCU on Sea about the microarchitecture of Skylake, explaining a lot of details about instruction decoders, register alias tables and how they affect compilers and developers. It goes above and beyond the Intel Developer Manual

A small Logitech mouse is a hungry, obese animal. If you install a driver for Mac to have per-app button customisations (the only feature I need), you also receive AI bloatware, constant "phone-home" connections, and 8GB of disk storage vanishing into many hidden directories

Remember Riak? There are a lot of things to learn from its design - about Dynamo, CRDT, LSMs and Erlang OTP. #erlang #riak #distributedsystems

A great talk at the Meeting C++ conference from @fbuontempo.bsky.social about learning, accompanied by citations from great sci-fi writers William Gibson @williamgallo.bsky.social and Neal Stephenson. A lot to learn and re-read! #cpp @meetingcpp.bsky.social

On using astral #uv to build binary distributions - an OSS example with timezonefinder. A big challenge for Python maintainers is how to build and package a Python binary distribution. How to do it with the UV package manager while following modern pyproject standards. omniverse.ru/blog/2025/08...

Time to upgrade an ageing Jenkins CI pipeline with a lot of plugins and ancient JDKs on agents? It could become complicated! Here is how I approached it and what I learned about the ecosystem. omniverse.ru/blog/2025/07... #Jenkins #CI #DevOps

Just returned from the @cpponsea.bsky.social conference in Folkestone. It was a great experience to listen to interesting talks, meet great C++ speakers in person and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere (remember the Pacman rule). Thanks to the organisers and all the participants!

A great developer conference should include a retro computing talk. @matt.godbolt.org is speaking on ZX Spectrum emulation using ultra-modern C++ at #cpponsea 2025! @cpponsea.bsky.social

I was so glad to see Java 1.5, which felt like a totally new language. Tons of things have changed since then. I am Javafluencer. Unleash your inner Duke and win a limited-edition T-shirt! #Java30WithIntelliJIDEA www.jetbrains.com/lp/java-30/j...

bsky, let's start with some memories. Exactly ten years ago, we were celebrating the #RustLang 1.0 release with a small but spirited user group. Mozilla kindly sent us t-shirts that have lasted so long, thanks to great design and safety features, just like Rust itself! #10YearsOfRust
