Digital decluttering

I'm resisting my temptation towards digital hoarding and "save everything", and trying to be more selective about the data I'm keeping.

Хитрые бактерии и антибиотики

habr.com/ru/articles/828834

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.

The Inadequacy of Most Proposed Approaches

web.archive.org/web/20010519155455/http://www.clir.org/PUBS/reports/rothenberg/inadequacy.html

Most approaches that have been proposed fall into one of four categories: (1) reliance on hard copy, (2) reliance on standards, (3) reliance on computer museums, or (4) reliance on migration. Though some of these may play a role in an ultimate solution, none of them comes close to providing a solution by itself, nor does their combination.

On archival.

Under the Radar #267: Don't Run Servers - Relay FM

www.relay.fm/radar/267

Два аёс-разработчика говорят, что если можно сделать продукт, не поднимая сервер, лучше так и сделать, особенно учитывая какие прекрасные возможности для программиста дают современные яблочные устройства. Синхронизация через яклаўд, производительность до дурного высокая и всё такое.

Я, конечно, не аёс-разработчик, но могу обратить внимание на то, что у меня ваще всё с сервером. А ведь Бетулу можно было бы и без него! Но на самом деле получилось бы хуже, ведь мне не один айфон поддерживать, а как минимум андроид и мак, которыми я пользуюсь.

Подкаст можете не слушать, я за вас послушал.

A Quarter Century of Web Coding | datagubbe.se

www.datagubbe.se/25years

I both pity and admire beginner web coders of today. Unlike me, they've not been able to accumulate gradual knowledge of HTTP, HTML, REST, JavaScript, the DOM, CSS, AJAX, JSON, asynchronous execution and event driven object oriented programming over a period of decades. They haven't walked the long path from CGI scripts to modern server side tomfoolery via PHP, ASP and various MVC frameworks. They're just brutally thrust into a complex world of Gulp, Grunt, TypeScript, React Hooks and MobX-State-Tree and it's assumed they somehow already know about all that other stuff. Computer Science has moved into the frontend in earnest and yet it still seems as if many view "web development" as "making homepages", and that it's something you can learn over a period of weeks, not years.

In retrospect, web development has always been a bit of a struggle against the powers that be.
Some things that were pretty bad for quite a long time have gotten better. But, on the whole, I dare say it's much worse now than when I started. Much like how Commodore 64 programmers could keep a map of the entire computer in their head, a moderately competent developer could churn out an acceptable web site in a matter of weeks, understand every single aspect of it and get paid in the process. If I, a quarter century ago, had possessed the experience and knowledge I do now, the simplicity of those early web pages would've felt surreal. And yet, we apparently provided a service that was of some value to some people. A digital commodity, nothing more, nothing less. Actually useful software.

Alex Schroeder: 2023-03-07 A vision for search

This compressed JSON file (better than XML, right?) would be a well-known path for every site, like “/.well-known/index.json.xz”. It lists all the pages on your domain, and their keywords.
