From the Zed Blog: A look at how we use Zed's native collaboration features to run our entire company.

Wow so advanced

I've been creating small, hand-written websites to organise my files. It's a lightweight, flexible approach that I hope will last a long time.

There's a screenshot there, take a look. What's surprising is that the author employs no static site generator. Huh?? I'd rather use one or come up with a cool CGI setup. I wonder if they still make these websites...

This is a translation of the article I originally wrote in Russian a year ago.
Lately, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, people have started looking for its alternatives – and many found one in Mastodon.
Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform that works on the federation model, like email. The federation protocol is called ActivityPub and is a W3C standard, and Mastodon is far from being its only implementation, albeit it is the most popular one.

The rate at which a bird needs to flap its wings to stay aloft is a surprisingly complicated question due to the complex dynamics.

HTML for email is probably the hardest code to write. Even a teeny-tiny deviation from the rules will break the email in untold combination of os/desktop/mobile clients.

It's mid 2024. Almost 50 years since email was invented and 35 years since HTML was born. A 'basic-open-source-HTML-email-designer' must be a solved problem, right? We thought so too.

Sadly, that's not the case.

There are a few decent open source email designers but they carry dependencies that make them cumbersome to embed within your app. That's why we decided to open source our HTML Email Designer.

The SENDUNE email designer focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It is light-weight. It does pure HTML - no intermediate code wranglers like mjml. There is no lock-in of any kind. Save HTML output as a template and use with ANY email service provider.

TLDR: предлагаю рассмотреть хранение исходных кодов программ в некоем бинарном формате вместо голого текста.

И рынок стал важнее разработки, затраты на RnD обычно несколько миллиардов долларов — а на маркетинг могут быть в 2-3 раза выше. Плюс с антибиотиками есть куча проблем. Во-первых, от них пациенты выздоравливают. Это очень плохо, потому что не получается продавать годами.

Which leads to the question: what makes one of these work? I’ve been a part of several groups and have tried to stand up many myself and I find the same patterns repeating across all the good ones. The best ones are a “forever dinner party” – good friends and conversation happening in perpetuity. They often share the below.

• Gardener, not carpenter

• Cooling rods and nuclear reactors

• The n-1 group

• Dinner party alchemy

• Gravitational pull of a few topics

• Size and Pruning

• Shared rituals

The Dunning-Kruger effect states that incompetent people overestimate their competence. You've heard of that before, probably. Turns out, there is a major error in the statistics: the effect is actually nothing more than an autocorrelation. If we measure the stuff correctly, the effect disappears.

2010-era discussion. They generally agree it's a bad netiquette. Here in 2020-era I agree.

Statusbar app to quickly toggle between light and dark modes

I might want to use it in the future. Now, I just bind the following script to something:

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell appearance preferences to set dark mode to not dark mode'

Alex Schroeder, one of wiki legends (he created OddMuse), thinks about moving away from OddMuse for his website and moving to a static site! What he needs, is a different wiki engine, though. A single user wiki engine is not a wiki engine really though.

But I've been thinking about that too to be honest. Trust brings problems. Accounts bring problems. Betula works fine being single user. Would the same work for Mycorrhiza? Most installations are single user after all. We're living in the age of individual+personal websites.
