Not Even Nice Work If You Can Get It; A Longitudinal Study of Uber's Algorithmic Pay and Pricing
"Through longitudinal analysis of 1.5 million trips from 258 drivers in the UK, we find that after dynamic pricing, pay has decreased, Uber's cut has increased, job allocation and pay is less predictable, inequality between drivers is increased, and drivers spend more time waiting for jobs."
Binns, R. et al. (2025) 'Not even nice work if you can get it; A longitudinal study of Uber’s algorithmic pay and pricing,' arXiv (Cornell University) [Preprint]. https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2506.15278.

Happy Birthday, Richard E. Stearns! Stearns received the 1993 #ACMTuringAward with Juris Hartmanis in recognition of their seminal paper which established the foundations for the field of computational complexity theory.
In this video, Stearns describes how he and Harmanis discovered the breakthroughs that contributed to their paper. The full video is here: https://youtu.be/Z-Ek0CCThZQ?si=3N5QU1RNmNqJb8ia

First I spent hours preventing reality from violating my ideas.
Then the users reminded me that reality has more than one dimension.

Just read "BUT HOW DO IT KNOW? The Basic Principles of Computers For Everyone" where John Clark Scott builds a simple computer starting at NAND gates.
Experienced software developers might not be the intended audience, but as someone who spends all day at a much higher level, I found it informative and a joyful read.
Maybe I'll read "CODE The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold next?

Navigate Your Data Using Lookup Function
Excel can produce varying results in a cell, depending on conditions set by you. For example, if numbers are above or below certain limits, different calculations will be performed and text messages displayed. The usual method for constructing this sort of analysis is using the IF function. However, this can become large and unwieldy when you want multiple conditions and many possible outcomes.Excel can nest a specified number of IF clauses in a main IF statement, whereas you may want more […]https://skillssprouts8.wordpress.com/2026/06/30/navigate-your-data-using-lookup-function/

Imagine inventing something, watching it become an industry standard, and then spending decades apologizing for it.
That's exactly what computing pioneer Sir Tony Hoare did in his legendary talk, "Null References: The Billion-Dollar Mistake”.
As part of the #InfoQ20 campaign, we're revisiting this classic archive video - a must-watch for every software practitioner. It's a powerful lesson in how a seemingly small design decision can shape the entire software industry for decades.

I have now a full-blown working UEFI boot path in my OS - incl. a simple AHCI driver to access the SATA based SSD drive with its FAT32 ESP partition.
100% pure Rust code (not a single asm file!), without any dependencies to other crates! #rust #rustlang #x64 #computerscience

China's LineShine Supercomputer: A Sense of Scale ⚡🖥️
China's LineShine 灵晟 supercomputer is the most powerful supercomputer in the world 🌍, delivering a verified 2.198 exaFLOPS on the TOP500 benchmark. That means it can perform more than 2 quintillion (2×10¹⁸) calculations every second 🚀. The system consumes 42.2 megawatts of electricity ⚡ and is powered by more than 13.7 million conventional CPU cores 🧠.
The Scale of Its Computing Power 📊
Compared to Humanity 👥: If every person on Earth performed one mathematical calculation every second, without stopping ⏱️, it would take the entire global population about 4 years 📅 to equal the amount of computation LineShine completes in a single second.
Consumer Hardware 💻: Matching LineShine's sustained performance would require more than 20 million of today's fastest consumer graphics cards 🖥️, such as an RTX 5090, working together in perfect synchronization 🔗.
LineShine demonstrates the extraordinary scale of modern high-performance computing (HPC), enabling scientific calculations that would be practically impossible using conventional computers 🚀.
