An exploration of Gnome's many failings and how to fix it.
FixBrowser is a truly lightweight web browser created from scratch. It intentionally doesn't support JavaScript to make things faster and much less resource intensive. Instead it contains an updated set of scripts that fix and improve various websites.
It is designed from ground up with privacy as the major goal, using a whitelist approach for loading resources to avoid any unwanted tracking.
The browser is currently in Alpha stage, all the foundation blocks are there but needs more work. There is also FixProxy which is using the "backend" part of the browser (everything except the actual rendering) to be used with a regular web browser. It provides a safe way to browse the web and is more mature, I've been using it for multiple years as my primary means of browsing with good results.
Вот это браузеры пошли! Без яваскриптов, но с регексами и фикс-прокси. И стек смешной: свой язык какой-то. Внимательно буду смотреть.
These choices are trade-offs. If you want to write a quiet song, it won't be loud. If you are writing a software tool and you want to prioritize speed over simplicity, then it won't be as simple as if you'd prioritized simplicity over speed.
There are two main signs that you've succeeded at your goals. The first, and more pleasant, is that you get compliments about how your thing is like you wanted it to be. "I love that song, it's so quiet!" "Your tool is so fast!" Why thank you, that's exactly what I was going for.
The second sign, though, is that you will get complaints. Specifically, people will complain that your thing does not achieve the things you didn't set out to achieve. "I wish this song was louder", "this tool is so hard to use". That you are receiving complaints at all means that people are aware of your creation; that they are complaining about what you specifically set out to make a non-goal is a side-effect of the fact that you made that trade-off.

A story of a Julius who lacks knowledge but has good charisma. There's a lot to learn from such Julii.
Когда я работал в Совкомбанке, пришлось чуток поработать с аналитиком Э. Он мне сразу не понравился. Потом он ушёл, раньше меня. Статья помогла понять, что с ним было не так. Наверное он был таким Юлием.
Но очень может быть, что я неправ, и у меня просто не было возможности увидеть хард скиллы этого аналитика. В конце концов, мы пересеклись только на одном низкоприоритетном проекте.

Introduced by Artyom.
I visit Derek Sivers' website from time to time. Every time I do, I discover he had
written some half a hundred new blog posts,
moved to another place,
and started a new diet/philosophy/routine/book.
He's too productive for a human, but that's a topic for a different time.
Artyom makes a good point that plaintext is a lie. Of course it is! Nothing worse than being presented with a .txt file. Screw that! Folks, user proper text formats.
This is a personal story I hope will give web designers and user interface experts some food for thought: my experience with reading digital screens with eyesight degraded by cataract. There may be more users with suboptimal vision than usually thought.
I always preferred the light theme and never figured what's the fuss with the dark theme. Until cataract came.
Typical speedups over vanilla Python are on the order of 10-100x or more, on a single thread. Codon's performance is typically on par with (and sometimes better than) that of C/C++. Unlike Python, Codon supports native multithreading, which can lead to speedups many times higher still.
Codon is not a drop-in replacement for CPython. There are some aspects of Python that are not suitable for static compilation — we don't support these in Codon.

Recently, I went on a week-long vacation to Japan. Besides being a ton of fun, something that stood out was how long the trip felt. One week in Japan felt like three weeks of my regular life. I've thought about why this is and found that the amount of time felt is greatly related to the number of memories created.

This is a translation of the article I originally wrote in Russian a year ago.
Lately, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, people have started looking for its alternatives – and many found one in Mastodon.
Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform that works on the federation model, like email. The federation protocol is called ActivityPub and is a W3C standard, and Mastodon is far from being its only implementation, albeit it is the most popular one.
