Miljan Braticevic [38:46]: “When you create an account on X let's say, you are given this account by this corporation, this is something that they give to you, and it's something that they can take away from you at any point. In contrast, when you are on an open protocol like Nostr, you claim your key/pair. You take this massive number out of the universe, and that's you're private key. So you have claimed some territory in this massively ....

Is there an actual use-case for webapps? when you use a webapp you literally re-download the same program over and over again. you could get the same functionality if you just downloaded it and installed it once. I'm not talking about chromium programs since they're not really in the category of a webapp. so, should anything on the web (not the internet) even be dynamic in the first place? does it make sense?

When you label your language as a "multi-paradigm" language in an effort to appeal for a mass majority. you end up with a jack of all trades master of none type of situation. how can a language be object oriented AND functional AND procedural? make it make sense!!! you're not getting actual objects, or if you are, then you're not getting proper functional since OO does not mesh with it. so which one is it? it has to be one or the other, i..

If creativity is borne out of constraints, creating mods for games must be one of the most creative things you can do as a programmer. It’s just so fun to hack a game engine to do something it was never supposed to do. This blog post goes into depth describing a mod I made for the game Oblivion Remastered , a full graphics overhaul of the classic 2006 open-world RPG Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion . The mod, Row Your Boat , adds something ....

I'm thinking about writing an enterprise level software in smalltalk as opposed to something like C++. the reason being that it is much, much easier and clearer to work with than C++ or even Rust for that matter. the only con is the lack of third-party libraries, but this is the type of software where you would be writing everything from scratch anyways. Think something on the level of Unreal Engine 5. is this a crazy idea? I know that i..

Imagine for a second that you look at the first prime numbers and discover that 11 is a prime number. It is the first multidigi prime number with just one particular digit – 1. There is a nice symmetry to it. You then also realize that the number of digits in 11 (2) is also […]

About a week ago I thought I'd gotten the codebase of my new project to solid ground . I knew I still had quite a few features to add to get the migration to a React frontend finished, but I soon discovered that there was considerable drift from the established project best practices. I ended up having to go back over all the routes and standardise the API response envelope, and put in place some type checking to ensure that all the resp..

I built a little website to help wrap my head around the state of unsheltered homelessness in Seattle. The site uses Seattle's public customer service request dataset , which aggregates data from the Find It, Fix It App and city web portal to show recent (and, if you like, historical) reports of encampments, abandoned vehicles, and related issues: Through the magic of GitHub actions , the website's data is updated daily.

The Evolution of Craft: How I Embraced AI in Software Development One Sunday morning after a church service I was enjoying a cup of tea, cake and warm conversations with fellow parishioners. One of the conversations with a particular individual shifted to work and I learned that he works in the energy sector. More specifically, he is an engineering manager for an organization specializing in renewables where he oversees a number of solar ar....

Security has always been a difficult balance between usability and safety. Passkeys are a way to “bridge” these seemingly opposed concepts. They allow enhanced security between a server and a client, while also removing the need for the end-user to manage login details. The connection is more secure than that provided by the classic “User ... Read more

Update Looks like Bitnami decided to take some more time over this details here and have some 1-day brown outs before removing the repos on Sept 29. One constant of modern development environments is the ever increasing number of dependencies, and the problems that come when they get disrupted. Next week there could be a serious disruption in the container image ecosystem as a provider of popular images and helm charts changes their av....

I recently read Where'd You Go, Bernadette , by Maria Semple (strongly recommend, by the way), and came across this gem about "contractor Kabuki": ...it dawned on me that Ellen Idelson was a contractor. She was performing contractor Kabuki. It's a ritual in which (a) the contractor explains in great detail the impossibility of the job you've done, (b) you demonstrate extreme remorse for even suggesting such a thing by withdrawing your ..

There are few sounds as satisfying to me as a lock popping open, especially when it’s a well-machined lock that makes a nice, crisp “chink!” sound as the shackle releases. This post is some suggestions I gave to a friend of mine who wanted to get started in lock picking. Please consult your local laws to know the ins and outs around the hobby. Nothing here is legal advice. Also, while I do link to a few product pages, I never have and nev....

Introducing a little book with a simple goal: to help our global teams understand each other a little better. Why? Because teams that know each other can support each other. Teams that understand each other create space for each other. People who know each other feel safe together. The outcome? Building belonging.
