I don't like this article, but the device itself is intersting.

Stop falsifying your motivations.

That somehow reminded me how I motivated not using Markdown in my projects

gwit is a minimalist system for a Web of replicated, host-neutral, lightweight sites backed by Git.

Interesting system. However, this system is designed around the notion of keeping the history by default, which is wrong. History is to be thrown away by default, that's what the modern Web gets right.

BlueMap is a program that reads your Minecraft world files and generates not only a map, but also 3D-models of the whole surface.
With the web-app you then can look at those in your browser and basically view the world as if you were ingame!
Or just look at it from far away to get an overview.

Code discussions contain relevant information. Isn’t it a shame that we
keep these in the centralized GitHub/GitLab servers, far away from our
decentralized Git code? As soon as we move provider, we’ll lose all old
discussions! And how do you ever find the pull requests back from 5
years ago? Symfony has implemented a lightweight solution to this problem
years ago using a less-known feature of Git: Git Notes.

Aphantasia veils the past and the future from the mind’s eye. That can be a gift to philosophers like Derek Parfit and me

A fresh take on typesetting

I am tired of hierarchical FileSystems. They grow into big messes over time (LimitsOfHierarchies). Let's discuss alternatives. Some have suggested using various kinds of databases so that one can query or view based on a wide variety of potentially orthogonal traits.

The C2 Ancients have good ideas.

P. S. Trying to save this page in Betula shows how bad and unfriendly the new “design” of WikiWikiWeb is.

My experiment with a Mini Cubes-inspired spatial information manager.

I visit it from time to time. This is a special wiki. In 2020 — 2021 it was pretty active thanks to my introduction. This wiki is where I learned about Alex and Lion.

A collection of notes.

Пока мир сходит с ума по искусственному интеллекту, всплакну о низком уровне разработчиков. Подкатило, нужно выплеснуть.

Иван Гришаев жалуется, что программисты плохо программируют.

Markdown in all its flavors, interpretations, and forks won’t go away. However, it’s important to look at emerging content formats that try to encompass modern needs. In this article, Knut shares his advice against Markdown by looking back on why it was introduced in the first place, and by going through some of the major developments of content on the web.

The author tells how Markdown is used for different purposes.
