A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500

Very detailed visualisation of technology, science and culture that lead to the current state of world.

• 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?”

Testcontainers is an open source library for providing throwaway, lightweight instances of databases, message brokers, web browsers, or just about anything that can run in a Docker container.

This guide covers the ins and outs of FFmpeg starting with fundamental concepts and moving to media transcoding and video and audio processing providing practical examples along the way.

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.

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.

Do you actually want to write? Ok. Then write. In a text file on your computer, in a pastebin, on a blogging platform, on neocities, on cohost or mastodon, on a copy-pasted template from github pages, in /var/www, on some forum that nobody’s looked at in 15 years. It really does not matter. Go write.
But, perhaps you don’t really want to write. Do you like tinkering with site generator tools? Then fucking tinker to your heart’s content. You don’t need to have an end goal where you actually put some thinkpiece or technical writeup on the website. Building it can be its own reward.
If you love it, let it consume you. If you hate every moment you spend with it, why are you trying to do it? Real winners quit.

if you are unfortunate enough to browse a fandom wiki without an ad blocker, you will experience what i like to call "attention assault"

if you are a fandom wiki owner & you would like to move your wiki content elsewhere, i will offer you my expertise at $0/hour. i know lots about servers, software, and maintenance. just email me - let's get you out of fandom's ecosystem.

Кажется уже не получится "улучшить" эл. почту. Нужна новая децентрализованная технология. Как сделать её простой для обычных пользователей? Как убедиться, что никто не сможет украсть или заблокировать твою личность? Идентификации просто по публичному адресу уже давно не достаточно.
Мессенджеры полностью заменили почту в плане общения, возможно их надо доработать?

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.

A holistic approach to computing and sustainability inspired from permaculture. Permacomputing is about using computation only when it has a strengthening effect on ecosystems.
