The History of editing and publishing in web browsers - Techno Barje

techno-barje.fr/post/2023/10/20/history-of-edition-and-publishing-in-web-browsers

Only WorldWideWeb, some versions of Netscape and SeaMonkey ever supported the editing. WWW was the only non-modal one, I think it was a worthy design pattern. SeaMonkey still maintains Netscape's composer.

exaloop/codon: A high-performance, zero-overhead, extensible Python compiler using LLVM

github.com/exaloop/codon

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.

Luxury Beliefs are Status Symbols

Luxury beliefs have, to a large extent, replaced luxury goods.

Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes.

The Wrong Abstraction — Sandi Metz

sandimetz.com/blog/2016/1/20/the-wrong-abstraction

Some abstractions are wrong. To get rid of them, inline them, rip the unneeded stuff, and forget about the abstraction. I want to rip an abstraction like that!

Digital Abyss

abyss.j3s.sh/hypha/digital_abyss

to me, it feels wrong. i don't write for meticulous care & growth, i write because i'm desperate to (connect, understand, remember, leave something behind)

it reminds me that i'll die someday & i want people to remember who i was, and how i thought. i leave tracings of myself in this abyss, hoping that it'll help other people. it's fragments of me.

that's no garden. it's a mortal abyss. and i find a lot of meaning staring into it.

research!rsc: Coroutines for Go

research.swtch.com/coro

Goroutines are not coroutines! I thought it was a nice pun! It's not!

Russ walks us over the concept of coroutines in other languages and then implements them in Go using goroutines.

Gotta read more thoroughly. I don't really see why we need them.

P. S. Loving how coroutine is shortened to coro. It's how the Francophones shorten laboratorie or whatever to just labo. Adolescent becomes ado. Cool French style!

Why is the OpenBSD documentation so good?

dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-08-18-why-openbsd-documentation-is-good.html

The OpenBSD operating system is known to be secure, but also for having an accurate and excellent documentation. In this text, I'll try to figure out what makes the OpenBSD documentation so great.
