  • 7GUIs
    #ui #webdev | There are countless GUI toolkits in different languages and with diverse approaches to GUI development. Yet, diligent comparisons between them are rare. Whereas in a traditional benchmark competing implementations are compared in terms of their resource consumption, here implementations are compared in terms of their notation. To that end, 7GUIs defines seven tasks that represent typical challenges in GUI programming. In addition, 7GUIs provides a recommended set of evaluation dimensions.

  • Never Forgive Them
    #capitalism #enshittification | In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might promise.

  • Be a Schedule Builder, Not a To-Do List Maker
    #productivity | Revealing the hidden dangers of to-do lists and the value in taking a scientific approach using a schedule builder. Imagine you bought a new phone, but at the end of each day, every day, the operating system crashed. Would you keep using the faulty phone? Of course not. You’d take it back to the store, complain, and get a new one. And yet, many people run their entire lives on a faulty operating system. It’s called the to-do list. Have you ever met someone who runs their day using a to-do list and actually finishes everything they said they’d do? Me neither.

  • Finding Your Inner Oligarch - A Guide to Absolute Power and Where to Buy It
    #capitalism #politics | You're looking at oligarchy all wrong. You're watching Elon Musk's Twitter circus and thinking that's what real Power looks like. You see him posting memes at 3 AM, buying social networks on impulses, and launching cars into space. You're studying his playbook: the dramatic public gestures, the attention-grabbing pronouncements, the cult of personality. This is precisely why you'll never become a real oligarch.

  • Branching Patterns
    #concepts #git | Modern source-control systems provide powerful tools that make it easy to create branches in source code. But eventually these branches have to be merged back together, and many teams spend an inordinate amount of time coping with their tangled thicket of branches. There are several patterns that can allow teams to use branching effectively, concentrating around integrating the work of multiple developers and organizing the path to production releases. The over-arching theme is that branches should be integrated frequently and efforts focused on a healthy mainline that can be deployed into production with minimal effort.

But sometimes it feels that we are subjected to that change, rather than being able to proactively participate in making the future; in crafting a web that speaks to what we want.

  • An alarmingly concise and very hinged summary of what it was like to build this site from scratch
    #blogging #webdev | It was May 13, 2024 when the sky opened up and the gods deigned to bless us with a grand proclamation: a private equity firm was to swoop in and save Squarespace from the perils of public trading. What news! Private equity! My two favorite words right after frontal lobotomy! It was May 13, 2024 when I realized my time with Squarespace was through. After over a decade of building websites with them. Failed blogs and failed podcasts and failed businesses. Now, the failure of Capitalism made it clear that it was finally time to move on.

  • Adding Webmentions to My Static Hugo Site
    #indieweb #ssg #webmentions | As another step in bringing indieweb ideas into my site, I have added support for webmentions. If you want to mention a post on this site, you can send me a webmention via this endpoint. A webmention is a kind of linkback. It is similar to pingbacks or trackbacks, but with a more modern sensibility that wants to extend @-mentions out of silos and to the open web. The idea is straightforward: any URL (the source of the mention) should be able to mention any other URL (the target of the mention). The target gets to choose what to do with the mention: they can ignore it, publish it on their own site, use it to increment a counter, etc.
