Instant Supercompute: Launching Wolfram Compute Services

writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/12/instant-supercompute-launching-wolfram-compute-services

Wolfram language never cease to amaze me with how it manages to introduce mind-blowing features that are not possible everywhere else without introducing any syntax. In today's episode: wrap a resource-intensive computation in this function, and it'll magically happen on our enchanted cloud computers; there will be an email notification. Truly awesome. Sometimes I envy scientists because they have a reason to use tools like Wolfram.

Introducing linkblocks, the Federated Bookmark Manager

www.rafa.ee/articles/introducing-linkblocks-federated-bookmark-manager

linkblocks is a tool for helping with this kind of deep exploration through the web.
With linkblocks, you can do three things: You can bookmark what you find on the web, you can structure your bookmarks, and you can exchange bookmarks with other people.
Organizing bookmarks works by linking them together, just like on the web. You can follow links to explore the websites you and others have collected. Bookmarking and linking on linkblocks is like publishing your own small website, saying “This is the good stuff”.

Bye, Gemini

www.makeworld.space/2023/08/bye_gemini.html

The Gemini protocol was a big part of my COVID-19 lockdown experience. Discovering this underground, small protocol, having long discussions on the mailing list, and most importantly for me, developing software. My terminal Gemini browser, Amfora, was my first public FOSS project, something actually intended for a wider audience to use. It succeeded beyond my expectations (but within my hopes), and I’m proud to say it now has thousands of downloads.

Restyling apps at scale – Space and Meaning

blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/10/15/restyling-apps-at-scale

Tobias tells us how a proper app theming mechanism is basically impossible in GNOME, and application ecosystems in general.

“Users” want a lot of things, but just because you want something impossible that doesn’t make it possible. In this case, it’s important to be aware of the costs of giving complete visual freedom to “themes”, both in individual app developer effort, and chilling effects on the ecosystem. If given a choice between customization and more, better apps, I’m confident the majority of people would prefer the latter.

Note that Betula is much more open to customization with CSS. It's a literal setting! I don't use it, of course. If I want to change something visually, I just push it upstream. Y'all folks can do the same, of course, but I won't accept everything. So you've got custom CSS. I think it works well.

Myopic Experiences and Distant Observers

venam.nixers.net/blog/philosophy/2023/07/02/myopic-experiences.html

A fish in the water doesn’t know what water is, a fish would also be a horrible swimming instructor.

The subjective experiencer definitely knows something that the observer doesn’t, but there are probably things that the observer can understand that they can’t and they might not be able to ever grasp it.

Crazypedia⍼ on toki pona keyboards

hackers.town/@crazypedia/108035533620008424

the #conlang nerd in me is so tickled that more than one person has designed and/or build #tokiPona keyboards 🤓

There is a non-zero chance that I may try to make a pi zero terminal or something to use with the discord and toiki.social at some point
