Trimming dependencies. I wish we did that at work

Stephen Wolfram reflects on making his favorite science discovery from 40 years ago, code 10. A new look at this totalistic cellular automaton using modern tools.

Casually looking at notes from 40 years ago. Stephen is cool!

The bicycle, as we know it today, was not invented until the late 1800s. Here are some theories about why

Turn paper documents into a searchable digital database.

Windows are arranged in columns on an infinite strip going to the right.
Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize.

Every monitor has its own separate window strip.
Windows can never "overflow" onto an adjacent monitor.

Since windows go left-to-right horizontally, workspaces are arranged vertically.
Every monitor has an independent set of workspaces, and there's always one empty workspace present all the way down.

All these scrolling WM:s sound so fun! I want to try one one day.

This site is best viewed in Lynx. In other browsers, it tries its best to simulate that experience.

A big list of cool paper organization techniques. I love this topic. If you ever visit me in Ufa, let me show my organized binders.

Go bindings to the Lemmy API, automatically generated directly from Lemmy's source code using the generator in cmd/gen.

This feed fetcher was sending an If-Modified-Since HTTP header, but it had a rather striking value of 'Wed, 01 Jan 1800 00:00:00 GMT'. Naturally this doesn't match any Last-Modified value my feed has ever provided, and it wouldn't help if I used a time based comparison since all syndication feeds in the world have been changed since 1800.

We’ve finally got to the point in the software world where no big changes are possible. Every change breaks something, introduces backward incompatibilities and so on. More are more we are going to live in the world where software mutates gradually, advancing is small steps without much plan and intelligent design. Similarly to how organisms are dragged by natural selection, it is going to be propelled in unknown direction without asking us whether we like it or not.

The software industry is reaching the stage where it cannot be revolutionized heavily, it is to evolve like the living ones. It is not necessarily good.

Ploum:

A minimal computer which harvests power from the ambient light, offering
only a minimal LISP programming environment.

I feel that if it could become sufficiently powerful to run a shell and
a text editor, you could quickly expend it to read/send emails and even
browse Gemini.

Maybe I’m dreaming…
