Decker is a multimedia platform for creating and sharing interactive documents, with sound, images, hypertext, and scripted behavior. It draws strong influence from HyperCard, as well as more modern codeless or “low-code” creative tools like Twine and Bitsy. If Jupyter Notebooks are a digital lab notebook, think of Decker as a stack of sticky notes for spatially organizing your thoughts and making quick prototypes.

It's fun and look pretty. Exports to HTML and to a custom format.

Несколько правил, чтобы держать Git приличном виде.

В принципе, норм, кроме:

У каждого PR есть expire. Висит две недели — значит никому не нужен и удаляется автоматом. В следующий раз команда будет расторопней.

Хотя мб это мне тут надо подумать.

Иной айтишник нет-нет да пожалуется на разбиение строк по 80 символов. Считаю нужным прояснить ситуацию.

Гришаев говорит глупости, чтобы оправдать ограничение длины строк. Справедливости ради, он не цепляется именно за 80, но идеи дурные, конечно.

Если кто не знает, откуда столько ненависти к PDF, сейчас объясню.

И, кстати, самое интересное начинается, когда возникает вопрос о том, что понимать под "эффективностью"? Что лучше: иметь сто рук или уметь хорошо пользоваться только двумя? Вопрос далеко не праздный, поскольку количественное увеличение разрядности ещё не означает автоматическое увеличение производительности. Например, чем плотнее код, тем лучше он кэшируется и тем быстрее работает. Поэтому, например, ARM имеет thumb mode. И поэтому же уже упомянутые мной компиляторы удалось вместить в 512 байт, а попробуйте сделать то же с 64-битным кодом.

Прикольный сабсет C, который вмещается в бут-сектор. Евгений хороший цикл заметок написал.

An endangered language family suggests that early humans used their bodies as a model for reality

Great Andamanese, it turns out, is exceptional among the world's languages in its anthropocentrism. It uses categories derived from the human body to describe abstract concepts such as spatial orientation and relations between objects. To be sure, in English we might say things like “the room faces the bay,” “the chair leg broke” and “she heads the firm.” But in Great Andamanese such descriptions take an extreme form, with morphemes, or meaningful sound segments, that designate different zones of the body getting attached to nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs—indeed, to every part of speech—to make diverse meanings. Because no other known language has a grammar based on the human body or shares cognates—words that are similar in meaning and pronunciation, indicating a genealogical connection—with Great Andamanese, the language constitutes its own family.

The grammar I was piecing together was based primarily on Jero, but a look through Portman's and Man's books convinced me that the southern Great Andamanese languages had similar structures. The lexicon consisted of two classes of words: free and bound. The free words were all nouns that referred to the environment and its denizens, such as ra for “pig.” They could occur alone. The bound words were nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs that always existed with markers indicating a relation to other objects, events or states. The markers (specifically, a-; er-; ong-; ot-or ut-; e-or i-; ara-; and o-) derived from seven zones of the body and were attached to a root word, usually as a prefix, to describe concepts such as “inside,” “outside,” “upper” and “lower.” For example, the morpheme er-, which qualified most anything having to do with an outer body part, could be stuck to -cho to yield ercho, meaning “head.” A pig's head was thus raercho.

Ерунда какая-то, но интересно.

Running a personal website is an emotional roller coaster. This fact seems strange to me, because I feel I do a fairly good job of keeping my ego disengaged from the process. I realize that whether people like what I write or hate it has absolutely nothing to do with my worth as a human being. Yet, receiving comments and emails from readers who say they enjoy my website and understand its value feels good.

By the way, dear reader, I would be glad if you told me that you like this site. If you don't like mine, contact owners of those sites that you like.

Lichen is the simplest possible CMS for the web that is friendly enough for non-technical users. It is extremely lightweight.

It uses gemtext, a good choice.

When you are publishing your blog posts, there's almost little to no feedback whatsoever: You don't get the engagement from the audience in the comments, or the nice sweet email. Your audience and "fans" are hidden behind analytics numbers. And then, there's you and your Markdown editor.

Yes indeed, next no to no feedback is a norm. Relatable, except for the Markdown editor.

At this point, link rot is an axiom of the internet. In the face of this, I store a personal offline archive of anything I want to see twice. When I see a cool YouTube video I like, I archive the entire channel right away. Rather than subscribe to it, I update my archive on a cronjob. I scrape content out of RSS feeds and into offline storage and I have dozens of websites archived with wget. I mirror most git repositories I’m interested in. I have DRM free offline copies of all of my music, TV shows, and movies, ill-begotten or not.

The structure of the website allows any vistor to leave their opinions, knowledge, and mark on the website for others to enjoy.

A Social Feed Reader for the IndieWeb

The Mac version simply didn't run. I installed the Android version. On first run it showed a quick error which I did not understand. I wanted to see how my Betula, which emits h-feed and h-entry microformats, would look like in this app. Turns out, when it talked about IndieWeb, it talked about MicroSub, not microformats2. What a liar!

I tried to authorize to https://merveilles.town, after all it supports Mastodon too! It failed to authorize me.

Overall, I couldn't do anything at all with the app. Sharing it nevertheless.
