I recently read Darek Kay’s excellent post about styling RSS feeds and wanted to do something similar. So, here’s my simple guide to styling your WordPress blog’s RSS / Atom theme…

It is very important to conduct regular code reviews within every software team, but it is not so easy to do them right; here are a few typical pitfalls.

On the need for a simpler, smaller internet to stand out from the crowd, meet interesting people, and build a calmer business.

We use “minimal computing” to refer to computing done under some set of significant constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, power, or other factors. Minimal computing includes both the maintenance, refurbishing, and use of machines to do DH work out of necessity along with the use of new streamlined computing hardware like the Raspberry Pi or the Arduino micro controller to do DH work by choice. This dichotomy of choice vs. necessity focuses attention on computing that is decidedly not high-performance. By operating at this intersection between choice and necessity minimal computing forces important concepts and practices within the DH community to the fore. In this way minimal computing is also an critical movement, akin to environmentalism, asking for balance between gains and costs in related areas that include social justice issues and de-manufacturing and reuse, not to mention re-thinking high-income assumptions about “e-waste” and what people do with it. Minimal computing thus relates to issues of aesthetics, culture, environment, global relationships of power and knowledge production, and other economic, infrastructural and material conditions.

А мне папа как-то говорил, что вот атомы на самом деле пустые так-то. Вроде бы логично, но мне не нравилось, я не принимал. А вот тут статья попалась. Пишут, что это, оказывается, популярный миф. На самом деле атомы очень даже полные. Всякие элементарные частицы не точки, про корпускулярно-волновой дуализм не забываем. В статье стараются популярно объяснить, как это работает. Я не всё понял, но поверил.

See also blog announcement. The development seems stalled.

From a discussion of how the newest version of the first wiki sucks. The version does suck, by the way.

I am blind. I do rely on accessibility to interact with a computer. Yes, you could accuse me of deliberately avoiding the modern web, but I have my reasons. Primary reason is performance. Even though I feel like you are talking down to me from a pretty high horse, I still don't wish for you to ever experience how sluggish it feels trying to use the "modern web" with a screen reader on something like Windows. Don't even make me start about the hellhole that is Linux GUI accessibility. It was a nice ride once, before GNOME 3 and the elimination of CORBA killed most of the good work done by good people. Fact is, I am too used to a system which reacts promptly when I press a key to be able to switch to a modern browser by default. That would kill all my productivity. Yes, its a trade, but for now, having no JS engine by default is still way better then the alternatives.

Have a nice day, and enjoy your eye-sight.
