If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown

p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/02/markdown-saves

I like the idea, but my laziness makes me avoid any non-automatic methods. I’d prefer a format similar to Mycomarkup or Markdown, but with built-in support for embedding images and other binary content, turning a web article into a single file. I’m aware of data: images in Markdown, but they’re not very convenient to use.

Quantum computing for the very curious

quantum.country/qcvc

Learn and understand quantum computing with built-in spaced repetition. I really like this method of learning and would like to see more courses that use this method and tech about some programming concepts.

How I ship projects at big tech companies | sean goedecke

seangoedecke.com/how-to-ship
  • Shipping is really hard and you have to make it your main priority

  • Shipping doesn’t mean deploying code, it means making your leadership team happy

  • You need your leadership team to trust you in order to ship

  • Most of the essential technical work is in anticipating problems and creating fallback plans

  • Scale back your implementation work as you approach launch so you’re free to jump on last-minute problems

  • You should constantly ask yourself “can I ship right this second?”

Cognitive load

minds.md/zakirullin/cognitive

The best components are those that provide powerful functionality yet have simple interface.

Do not add layers of abstractions for the sake of an architecture. Add them whenever you need an extension point that is justified for practical reasons.

THE RISE OF THE DISAPPEARING POLYMORPHS

hackaday.com/2024/07/24/the-rise-of-the-disappearing-polymorphs

Reads like some sci-fi story. How is that even a thing??

Science and engineering usually create consistent results. Generally, when you figure out how to make something, you can repeat that at will to make more of something. But what if, one day, you ran the same process, and got different results? You double-checked, and triple-checked, and you kept ending up with a different end product instead?
Perhaps it wasn’t the process that changed, but the environment? Or physics itself? Enter the scary world of disappearing polymorphs.

Enlightenmentware

mmapped.blog/posts/28-enlightenmentware.html

unix is user-friendly—it’s just choosy about who its friends are.

I even have it [Windows] installed on my gaming pc so that I can buy games I never play.

It is easy to shoot your foot off with git, but also easy to revert to a previous foot and merge it with your current leg.

NEVER TOO SMALL - Japanese Artist’s Unique Open Air Family Home

www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i8WENruig0

Set in Tokyo’s Suginami-ku neighbourhood, home to many manga artists, Open Sky House is home to artists and architect Zajirogh, his wife, and their three children. Having always dreamed of living in a camper or a ship, Zaijrogh designed a large central open-air courtyard and covered it with a retractable sail-like sheet. The family uses the courtyard as a living room which is furnished with camping furniture that can get wet or be moved quickly if needed. A series of colourful walls line the courtyard, with precious items that need to stay dry kept behind a set of glass and steel sliding doors with another set connecting to the fully equipped L-shaped kitchen. The second story features space for the family to sleep, work and play and includes a 1sqm (small closet-sized) study that Zajirogh refers to as “his little sanctuary”. A door leading onto the balcony wraps around the open roof, this provides access to open and close the roof as well as an area for Zajirogh to paint freely without concern about mess.
