Главное правило пропаганды — посыл должен быть простым. Если хочешь, чтобы твоя вера распространялась, нужно упаковать ее в короткое и броское сообщение — мем. Чем он проще и тупее, тем ему легче распространяться. Если мем в рифму — еще лучше.
Мем дожен быть безапелляционным, без деталей, однозначным и не вызывающим сомнений. В идеале — чтобы он касался каких-то человеческих грехов — например, гордыни, алчности или гнева. Это сейчас самые социально одобряемые грехи.
Building on the Fediverse is hard. Here is a list of ActivityPub and other developer resources that have been helpful in developing Emissary. This is not a canonical or official list by any means, but hopefully this list of bookmarks is valuable to others who are building their own Fediverse apps.
Instead of asking over and over again if she is working tomorrow. I just consult her very organised calendar — and when she wants to check if I'm free she looks at my very empty calendar.
Оформление ИП даёт сиюминутную выгоду: в ближайшее время вы получите больше на руки (но это неточно), при этом рискуете больничными, отпускными, да и доходом в целом.
In Go, a string is a (possibly empty) immutable sequence of bytes. The critical word here for our purposes is immutable. Because byte slices are mutable, converting between string and []byte generally requires an alloc and copy, which is expensive.
What if such conversions were cached? That would make comparing strings so much faster!: two integer comparisons (len and ptr). This article explains how this approach could be implemented.
It looks pretty small and simple. Despite having only 81 stars, it is used by 67.4k GitHub packages. Transitive dependencies. Found it at work accidentally. OpenSource woes.
A federated wiki the focus on fighting Wikipedia from a developer of Lemmy. I don't like their cause, but I'm interested in the technical aspect (I myself had been trying to come up with an excuse for using ActivityPub for wikis for two years). They seem to use WebFinger usernames like that: article@server! Wild! Their treatment of media is unclear to me right now, also they seem to federate Markdown, which is just ridiculous for a Wikipedia killer. Wikipedia uses infoboxes a lot, how are you gonna replace that?
Kind of controversial take on note taking systems. I can relate though, because i was lost in a burden of creating perfect knowledge management system for a long time without creating any knowledge. Simplest approach with commonplace notebook is what working for me now. Comments are also useful.
Getting lost in your knowledge management system is a fantastic way to avoid creating things. Most heart-stopping writing comes from synthesizing the previously unarticulated in the moment. Rather than reaching for your database, try channeling what’s in the air at this very second. These read/write errors are what we call originality. Leonardo da Vinci kept all of his notes in one big book. If he liked something he put it down. This is known as a commonplace book, and it is about how detailed your note-taking system should be unless you plan on thinking more elaborately than Leonardo da Vinci. Shun the useless adoption of the aesthetic of the useful. When something can be like work or like play, never make it work.
Personal goals are generally expected to happen later. The reason it’s hard to get going on personal goals is that you’re already using all of your time. No matter who you are, you’re already using all 24 hours, every day, for something. Because this will always be true, goals that happen at all must happen now, while you still don’t yet have time. Basically, you learn to work in small, uniform parcels of time. They’re short, timer-bound, and unwaveringly focused on a particular outcome. Most importantly, they can fit into real life, as it already is.
Basically, we are standing at a very bad point regarding the climate. I expect regions with acceptable air and temperature to become very luxurious. Better be there when the time comes. But what are such regions?
I think I've accepted the doom of the burning world. It will happen and I am witnessing it already. A fact.
Есть фееричное по своей глупости выражение: на правду не обижаются. Это верно: обижаются не на правду, а на бестактность, грубость, фамильярность, непрошенное мнение и все то, что сопутствует правде.
Если собеседник обижается на правду, стоит подумать, как лучше ее донести и вообще — стоит ли ее доносить.
This article gets better every time I open it because Alex adds something to it. It goes about classic ontological, ethical and motivational problems of publishing texts online.
Alex talks about the thrill of getting comments and his fear of judgement in this comments. Well, I do not share this feeling. I do like getting comments (and I get them less often than I want), but I wouldn't call it a thrill. Certainly not “It makes me nervous. The heart beats. The heart bleeds.”-level thrill. Although I often find myself not knowing what to post in my Telegram channel, which is my most popular and least tended to writing place.
I like this quote:
Blogging turns into a performance where I feel like I’m demonstrating my moral character.
But is it blogging? I think it's the social and parasocial ties in general that make us perform. To real people, not just some internet people, I show some positions. Are they my true opinions? Do I really care about this or that topic? Maybe not so much.
And who cares about those laborious system administration blog posts where I struggle with this or that ephemeral problem. All these issues are lost pages. Nobody cares.
Please do continue your Butlerian Jihad notes though. I will need them in a couple of years, I feel that.
And there are so many posts to read, the folders on my disk with saved articles and snippets are more like compost heaps, where layer upon layer of good stuff gets dropped, never to see the light of day again.
I encourage you to curate this compost heap. Throw away 90 %.
The key is to find that happy state where the imagined audience adds a little zest
I think you have found it.
And now, the real banger quote comes:
For me, this imagined audience is more important than getting it right. Which is why I write my blog posts with the wiki spirit. All these sites are pretty similar, in essence. Blog, wiki, digital garden, Zettelkasten, there’s not enough difference to draw lines. It’s all a question of intent, of culture, of belonging. The blog spirit is to write pages over time, and they disappear into the archive. The digital garden spirit is to write unfinished articles and papers, to be refined or not. The Zettelkasten spirit is to follow the trail of thoughts you thought and add new branches, small notes with new thoughts leading to more thoughts on new notes. And the wiki spirit is to write and edit online, to hit the Save button and then it’s live. There is no editor, there is no draft. Wiki is like brutalism in content management. I can see the page sources and the end result is obvious and full of that old web power. It’s not an app. The software has no idea of process. The wiki spirit is to open that window, write the text and hit save. And then I read it again, and edit it. And tomorrow, I read it again, and edit it. And next week, perhaps, I read it again, and edit it.
I no longer live in the Wiki Now. The pages are intended for future readers but they are not timeless. I add timestamps all over the place. The blog spirit is strong. The pages do disappear into the great compost of thoughts. The archive gobbles them up. I do go back but I don’t rewrite the pages completely. I’m more likely to simply add a timestamp and some thoughts like I did on this page.
Abandoning the Wiki Now is one of the lessons I took from Alex. I'm now adding the timestamps in a lot of places. Even on Minecraft signs, to be honest. It just makes rereading a little bit cooler and more useful. But I do rewrite texts sometimes. I still believe in Wiki Now.
By wrapping errors and building well-formatted error messages, we can keep better track of where errors are happening. I often just add the name of the function being called to my error messages, but we can make the message say whatever we want. For example, I’ll often include parameter information in the error so I know which inputs caused the error.
Eyeroll is a WebExtension for Firefox that let's you scroll webpages by blinking your eyes. Close your right eye to scroll down, and your left eye to scroll up. It's great for scrolling chords without leaving your instrument, or reading the news while you're brushing your teeth! Eyeroll works 100% on your device and works on Firefox for Android too.
Gibberish is a blogging app that looks and feels like a messaging app. It’s a bit weird, but that’s the point. This UI tricks my brain into writing mode, just like when I write long messages to my friends. Here’s what it looks like:
So true! The way I describe my day to the diary and to the friends is so different! It's those little bubbles that do something. I want this for Android.
Alex got inspired by chat bubbles and considered adding them to Oddμ. Mentions something called Gibberish, which I will bookmark next
Chat bubbles are cool.
I told him he would need a special syntax for that and he got scared. He also liked a quote of mine: “it’s impossible to keep a publishing system pure Markdown”.
Back in the day, centering an element was one of the trickiest things in CSS. As the language has evolved, we’ve been given lots of new tools we can use… But how do we pick the best option? When do we use Flexbox, or CSS Grid, or something else? Let's dig into it.
Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure.
