Man pages

alexschroeder.ch/view/2024-08-08-man-pages

Why you should use and write man pages.

Local documentation that is easy to find is so much better. And man pages are powerful.

dashing dog, searching for purpose | Derek Sivers

sive.rs/pdog

Focus on what fascinates you, even if it’s uncharacteristic.
There is no purpose because there is no line connecting moments in time.
There is no plot.
You are not a story.

How to Live | Derek Sivers

sive.rs/h

Want to read and reflect somewhere on every chapter one day...
How to remember that i want it?

27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion. Many books believe they know how you should live. But each book disagrees with the next. In “How to Live”, each chapter believes it knows how you should live. And each chapter disagrees with the next.

Edna - scratchpad and note taking app

github.com/kjk/edna

Heavy use of shortcuts, has unique concept of blocks with different types (i actually like it a lot). Blocks can have type of code (and can be formatted). In Math blocks lines are evaluated as expressions with results at the end. Can execute golang code.

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.

Thinking out loud about 2nd-gen Email – Gabriel Sieben

gabrielsieben.tech/2024/05/17/thinking-out-loud-2nd-gen-email

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?

Кстати, бетулу можно использовать как твиттер Х микроблог

Woodworking as an escape from the absurdity of software

alinpanaitiu.com/blog/woodworking-escape-from-software-absurdity

If you had the choice to sculpt a leg chair out of wood or write a full-fledged audio engine, complete with kernel drivers and whatnot, inside an app for controlling monitor brightness, what wou… Wait, no, that's not a question, you would do the leg chair for sure. There's no way that other thing makes sense.

EditorConfig

editorconfig.org

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.
