Problems | Project Lovelace
A pretty neat list of programming problems, that are intented to be solved in a number of languages and the solutions tested. Good for people getting to grips with a new language, or with programming in general.

The Insensitive Ruins It All: Compositional and Compilational Influences of Social Sensitivity on Collective Intelligence in Groups
The Insensitive Ruins It All: Compositional and Compilational Influences of Social Sensitivity on Collective Intelligence in Groups
A group's collective intelligence reflects its capacity to perform well across a variety of cognitive tasks and it transcends the individual intelligence of its members. Previous research shows that group members' social sensitivity is a potential antecedent of collective intelligence, yet it is still unclear whether individual or group-level indices are responsible for the positive association between social sensitivity and collective intelligence. In a comprehensive manner, we test the extent to which both compositional (lowest and highest individual score) and compilational aspects (emergent group level) of social sensitivity are associated with collective intelligence. This study has implications for research that explores groups as information processors, and for group design as it indicates how a group should be composed with respect to social sensitivity if the group is to reach high levels of collective intelligence. Our empirical results indicate that collectively intelligent groups are those in which the least socially sensitive group member has a rather high score on social sensitivity. Differently stated, (socially sensitive) group members cannot compensate for the lack of social sensitivity of the other group members.

Deleting Git Branches with Magit
Deleting Git Branches with Magit
As this article says, I've always tended to drop down to the CLI to delete a branch, and ensure it's cleaned from the remote, etc. Somehow I'd never picked up on the fact that Magit just handles this. And of course, it does, Magit does so much!

Reactive abuse
Reactive abuse
Interesting explanation of the idea of "reactive abuse", where an abuser keeps abusing someone until they get to the point that they react and then the reaction is called abuse.

Quote: "The number-one complaint among loved ones isn’t manipulation, splitting, mood swings, rage, jealousy, devaluation, triangulation, the victim Olympics, or really any of the well-known drama/trauma/abuse. It’s the pervasive lack of accountability."

That thing where you obviously release something that works, just doesn't work well enough, and you never go back and improve it 'cos it works and, well... it's working yeah?

That.

A Whirlwind Tutorial on Creating Really Teensy ELF Executables for Linux
A Whirlwind Tutorial on Creating Really Teensy ELF Executables for Linux
This document explores methods for squeezing excess bytes out of simple programs. (Of course, the more practical purpose of this document is to describe a few of the inner workings of the ELF file format and the Linux operating system. But hopefully you can also learn something about how to make really teensy ELF executables in the process.)

Computer Graphics from Scratch
Computer Graphics from Scratch
This broad introductory book gives you an overview of the computer graphics field with a focus on two core areas of modern graphics: raytracing and rasterization. Links to interactive demos throughout bring the algorithms alive. Every algorithm is built up without the use of external libraries or APIs and is presented with language agnostic pseudocode, allowing anyone with a basic understanding of programming and high school math to follow along.

Tweet that contains an image of a reddit post (I know!) that explains the whole solution with hedge funds, GameStop and r/WSB, and does it in a very short and easy to understand way.
