In 2015 I got rid of everything I owned that didn’t fit in a laptop backpack, and I’ve been living at this level of minimalism since. The idea is to only own what I need, which allows me to focus more, spend less, travel spontaneously and simplify my life.

How you engage with the world changes how you experience the world, and how the world experiences you.

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.

A paper about the old NoteCards program. I printed it out on an office printer and read it, unlike most other papers I saved in this Betula.

Organizing data in notecards, linking them. Notecards are not scrollable. Fileboxes and Browsers, special notecards. They state the system is programmable, but no detailed description of programmability is given. Interface is not really detailed.

Overall, this paper is not enough. I shall look for more.

TLDR: предлагаю рассмотреть хранение исходных кодов программ в некоем бинарном формате вместо голого текста.

The rare panorama peers into the compact neighborhood, glimpsing narrow dance halls and entire factories tucked inside cramped quarters.

Туту пишет отличный обзор про борщевик. Я же говорил, что меня очень впечатляет образ борщевика?

An overview of Tetris randomizers.

The 7-bag has a consistent piece output, making it more predictable. It’s easy to know where in a bag you are, and when a piece you need might come. Because of how predictable this random generator is, it’s actually possible to play forever. Overall it’s a silly system that makes you wonder how it ever became the official randomizer.

It's actually why I like that randomizer!

I should try out TGM3.

Funny part: the illustration for the 7-bag features wrongly-coloured tetrominoes.

Lisp is so powerful that problems which are technical issues in other programming languages are social issues in Lisp.

It is possible to host read-only SQLite databases on static file hosters. Might be useful in some cases.

Of interest. I want to make a Miniflux star importer.
