They say coffee drinkers don't actually care about coffee

The world sees Japan as a paragon of minimalism. But its hidden clutter culture shows that ‘more’ can be as magical as ‘less’

Happy Birthday!

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.

Every now and then you hear outrageous claims such as “Python has no preprocessor”.

Capslock is a capability analysis CLI for Go packages that informs users of which privileged operations a given package can access. This works by classifying the capabilities of Go packages by following transitive calls to privileged standard library operations.

The recent increase in supply chain attacks targeting open source software has highlighted that third party dependencies should not be inherently trusted. Capabilities indicate what permissions a package has access to, and can be used in conjunction with other security signals to indicate which code requires additional scrutiny before it can be considered trusted.

Back in the day, centering an element was one of the trickiest things in CSS. As the language has evolved, we’ve been given lots of new tools we can use… But how do we pick the best option? When do we use Flexbox, or CSS Grid, or something else? Let's dig into it.

Flancia Meet is a weekly video conference where we discuss our projects and goals, and occasionally work in public. Most participants are programmers.

I am here often. I helped to write this page.

Apart from that I rely very much on how browsers present my site, from the default font and size to the paragraph distance and the emoji set used. HTML was actually made to be responsive. It's a reflowing format that theoretically works on any screen size. But of course that won't be the case when there's things like sidebars or banners and stuff. And there pretty much always is.

What can be left out.

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

Why in C = means assignment

Very true! Some time ago I came to a similar conclusion, and since then try to not joke like that.

JSON Feed format spec. Perhaps it will power Mycoverse...

TL;DR: Closed registrations solve problems.
