A maintained rolling release DOS distribution with a package manager. What an incredible technology

Only WorldWideWeb, some versions of Netscape and SeaMonkey ever supported the editing. WWW was the only non-modal one, I think it was a worthy design pattern. SeaMonkey still maintains Netscape's composer.

Better SQL through typed, composable query fragments.

Drew has learned of the pleasures of public bookmarking. Sadly, through linkhut; I don't like its design. I ought to tell him about the wonders of Betula immediately!

It actually makes the case that CO₂ is the dominant control on Earth’s temperature

Wow so advanced

Или вот под Москвой какой-то ивент. Пишут, что не для новичков! Я ни разу вроде бы вслух на Эсперанто ни с кем не разговаривал, смешно будет. А может надо?

After reading Blue Period, Nina got inspired and invested time into learning how to draw, following guidelines from a book. She shared her learnings from the journey. Very inspiring! Can I draw? Should I learn how to?

A die-hard tiling WM user tried a scrolling WM and never looked back. I don't look back to tiling WM:s too, but I don't use a scrolling one. I want to look into that one day.

If you choose tasks properly, you'll be perceived as productive. I'm not in the position of being very selective at my job, but I think I'll be there. Quite unlike my open source projects!

With easy tasks, failure is shameful, but success is unremarkable. With hard tasks, failure is understandable, but success is epic. Easy tasks that seem hard are the best.

I wonder how these bug-hunts I do at work are perceived. They are actually hard for me, but what if they seem easy for others?..

An exciting journey with Forth. Read this. The author gave up in the end, by the way.

Jag has started up a paid instance of SyncThing. I like the name

Kazan, Ufa, Moscow and Saint-Petersburg will be like Russian south in 60 years. Which is not that bad, actually. But some parts of the world will be heated so much, that there's nowhere that can be compared to it.

Free online hive server. Play hive in a clean interface. No ads, no plugin required. Play hive with friends or random opponents.

There is ranking too!

Played it with Optozorax. Works well!

Drew unhappy with LLM bots DDoSing Sourcehut

This is a tarpit intended to catch web crawlers. Specifically, it's targetting crawlers that scrape data for LLM's - but really, like the plants it is named after, it'll eat just about anything that finds it's way inside.

It works by generating an endless sequences of pages, each of which with dozens of links, that simply go back into a the tarpit. Pages are randomly generated, but in a deterministic way, causing them to appear to be flat files that never change. Intentional delay is added to prevent crawlers from bogging down your server, in addition to wasting their time. Lastly, optional Markov-babble can be added to the pages, to give the crawlers something to scrape up and train their LLMs on, hopefully accelerating model collapse.

THIS IS DELIBERATELY MALICIOUS SOFTWARE INTENDED TO CAUSE HARMFUL ACTIVITY. DO NOT DEPLOY IF YOU AREN'T FULLY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

They implement retro game console hardware in FPGA, adding support for high resolution, external displays and whatnot. I especially like their Analogue Pocket thingie that runs all pre-DS handhelds. Super cool!

Even though we often hear terms like L1, L2, cache block size, etc., most programmers have a limited understanding of what cache really is. This is a beginner-friendly primer on how cache works.

Other dip pens need to be re-inked every few words, but we wrote an entire 5" x 7" notebook page on a single dip in Kakimori Pigment Ink.

building worthwhile things that might last

Author proposes to replace modern browsers with the following architecture. You make HTTP requests, server return you WASM blobs, they get executed. No built-in DOM.

DOM and its three languages are among the best technologies ever made, despite being so misused. It not being the default way will probably be disastrous. Think about accessibility!

But the idea is cool 🤔

Why and how to preserve digital content in plaintext format for long-term accessibility and reuse

The author actually doesn't think Markdown is the only correct storage format. All lightweight markup languages will do. They just use Markdown themselves. It's good they allow Mycomarkup, I'd've written a remarque here otherwise.

I myself am not sure if it's the right way. Maybe the websites should be preserved closer to the way they were made? I'll now archive this page, in HTML.

A RTS game where you program your units with UXN. Reminds of that one spacefaring game, where you also do UXN. Super cool!

There's a devlog linked on the page, I liked reading it.

Actually, complete history of innovation in pencils in Japan. For some years I wanted to get my hands on one of these, but it was hard to justify it. I have so many pencils left over from school days, my pencil consumption rate, which is probably higher than yours, is low, and I'll probably never finish them all. But maybe there's truly some magic in those Mitsu-Bishis?
