GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files.

When Free Software Isn't (Practically) Superior - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
The Open Source Initiative's mission statement reads, “Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.”
When Free Software Depends on Nonfree - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
When a program is free software (free as in freedom), that means it gives users the four freedoms, so that they control what the program does. In most cases, that is sufficient for the program's distribution to be ethical; but not always. There are additional problems that can arise in specific circumstances. This article describes a subtle problem, where upgrading the free program requires using a nonfree program.

Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs. However, they say deeply different things about those programs, based on different values. The free software movement campaigns for freedom for the users of computing; it is a movement for freedom and justice. By contrast, the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles. This is why we do not agree with open source, and do not use that term.

Build Reproducible Analytical Pipelines with Nix
Streamlines the creation of reproducible analytical pipelines using default.nix expressions generated via the rix package for reproducibility. Define derivations in R, Python or Julia, chain them into a composition of pure functions and build the resulting pipeline using Nix as the underlying end-to-end build tool. Functions to plot the pipeline as a directed acyclic graph are included, as well as functions to load and inspect intermediary results for interactive analysis. User experience heavily inspired by the targets package.
I made a build visualizer to understand Bun’s compile times
I built buildprof (Github), an open-source tracing tool that shows where the time goes when you compile software on Linux. Here’s a realtime video of it profiling a clean build of ripgrep: Watch the …
Essentials of Compilation
Compilers are notoriously difficult programs to teach and understand. Most books about compilers dedicate one chapter to each progressive stage, a structure ...
