Confessions of a Software Developer: No More Self-Censorship

I haven't published since April because I've been afraid. I also avoided social media, news aggregators, and discussion forums for months. I'm done letting fear stop me. What was I afraid of? In this post I detail every single thing I've avoided admitting on this blog. […]

A photo of the remains of a brick quadruplex. It recently burned down, and is surrounded by ice. All that remains standing are pieces of the brick frame. A pile of bricks, rubble, and trash surround it.

🔬 New Study on Bicalutamide! 🔬
We’ve published our latest research on the conformational evolution of bicalutamide in chloroform using NMR spectroscopy. Associative equilibrium shifts drive conformational transitions, not the presence of a solid phase.
This work offers new insights into conformational polymorphism and the role of solvation and concentration in controlling molecular structure.

#Beetle #Harmonia #axyridis is native to Asia, but due to its use for pest control, it established #worldwide. It is known for its high number of #color/#pattern forms, partly due to a #genetically based #polymorphism. There is seemingly genetic variability in some morphs, and colors in an individual can change slightly during its life. D. Lemic et al. (2021) used #geometricmorphometrics to detect morph #plasticity.

Asian lady beetle Harmonia axyridis (here: forma succinea) belongs to Coccinellidae and is originally native to Asia, but due to its use for pest control, it established itself meanwhile worldwide. I found this specimen on the inside of my window, where it seemingly was seeking for an overwintering place, Berlin October 2025, © Stefan F. Wirth

🚀 New Review Published!
🔍 We discuss the structural features, polymorphism, and solid-state design strategies of the non-steroidal antiandrogen Bicalutamide (BCL)—from hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking to co-crystals, amorphous forms, and supercritical fluid technologies.

🥱 Ah, the riveting world of Zig's "polymorphism" 🤓—because nothing screams excitement like reinventing interfaces with #static and #dynamic #dispatch. Who knew simplicity and performance meant "let's complicate things for fun"? 🎢

@pancake @cryptax
TBF, it's C++ that invented it's own naming.
What we (usually) call #polymorphism in c++ in programming languages development is usually called "ad hoc polymorphism".
"template functions" are basically "polymorphic functions" or it's a "parametric polymorphism",
"template classes" are "polymorphic types".

What the compiler does when "instantiating a template" is "monomorphization".

This isn't just #rust-lingo.

I'm saying all of this mostly as C++ dev

Analysis of distributions, extinction risk, and population trends of all extant bird species finds that "Species with body color polymorphism showed larger distributional ranges, larger environmental ranges, lower risk of extinction, and more stable population trends."

Гайд на полиморфизм. Основные идеи

Полиморфизм, сколько в этом слове красивого и даже таинственного. Происходит от греческого πολύμορφος что означает — многообразный. В программировании это понятие встречается часто и обыденно для понимания большинством программистов. Но так ли это на самом деле?
