A classic article that makes me wish Go had a proper type system

Using NetBSD and proxied by a Caddy installation somewhere else. No caching. Works well for some reason. A cheap VPS is still cheaper than what the author pays for electricity for this setup though, despite them saying otherwise.

I do love this thing. I've got an in progress application that collates news I would like to read into an epub. Putting that file on the Minimal Phone gives me koreader as my 'fidget' app. Instead of getting lured into an infinite scroll app, I just read some news I curated for myself. Hoping this drives my overall phone usage down.

Here lies a nearly-complete archive of Whole Earth publications, a series of journals and magazines descended from the Whole Earth Catalog, published by Stewart Brand and the POINT Foundation between 1968 and 2002. They are made available here for scholarship, education, and research purposes.

Not only that, but a good introduction to this device in general and the context around it. A good read!

Detailed Fediverse statistics

FediIndex data on Betula. Very interesting! 1.3.0 is still used by some, 1.2.0 has ceased to exist. Third of all instances are hosted in Russia.

I wish it knew more Betula instances though.

An older version of this article called it character rather than virtue. I think it was a better phrasing.

Lack of accessibility for the blind

Versioning API by including the version in MIME type. Never thought of that before!

Everything you've always wanted to know about a random restaurant in Boston

I should go there

In just 7 years, nearly 50% of all links are lost.

Computers were truly much more fun to me when I was younger, and that was when internet had become commonplace in Russia. I suppose the age is what matters the most.

Some parts (like the AI bit) didn’t age so well, but this is a fascinating piece by all means. I’m reading part II (the 2021 update) now.

viznut.fi has no HTTPS support, so if your browser complains about it just dismiss the warning and go on like it’s the 1990s… 🖧

This is a collection of random thoughts regarding the application of permacultural ideas to the computer world.

Tedu rewrote Flak from Lua to Go in 2019 and described the experience. Interesting

Music tracker interface inspired a programming paradigm. I don't get the provided programs at all.

Some of Stephen Wolfram’s “productivity hacks” to make his days and projects more productive. Daily life, desk environment, outside the office, presentation setup, filesystem organization, Wolfram Notebook systems, databases, personal analytics.

I especially like the treadmill.

Arm yourself with knowledge

The internet is up in arms about Pope Francis's tomb, and it's all because of lettering.

Happiest man ever.

In a noisy environment, you can simply tap your finger before someone speaks to hear better,

Gotta try it!

Loopholes: what they are, how to find them, how to fix them, and a big list of generic loopholes in games.

I was curious about the 51 Franklin Street address in the GPLv2 license notice so I wrote to them as they said

В одно окно смотрели двое.
Один увидел дождь и грязь,
Другой — листвы зеленой вязь,
Весну и небо голубое.
В одно окно смотрели двое.

Омар Хайям этого не писал.

Strict guidelines!

The decline in PVT performance suggests a cumulative effect of sleep loss across the 6-week study. Subjects did not accurately detect their declining PVT performance, and a motivational factor could not explain this decline.

Making my sleep schedule work for other people

TL;DR: yes but not much

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
