Seen my fair share as well, but now I can laugh about it.

Welcome to โลกคู่ขนาน แต่ก็อย่าด้อยค่าตำแหน่งอื่น เพราะทุกตำแหน่งถนัดกันคนละงาน เพราะถ้าเอา engineer มาทำงาน product จริงๆ อาจจะร้องกรี๊ดก็ได้

My old Pixel 3a has been sitting in a drawer gathering dust for a while now, which feels like a bit of a shame. Yes it’s sluggish, the battery life is awful, and owning a phone with only one rear camera is crime in today's society. But it’s still a functioning computer - one...

I like reading Joost's blog. I'm subscribed and it's in my blogroll.

Yesterday I threw a question out there. "If the web were a platform for writers, how would it work?" I left out specifics, because any specifics I provide might cut off interesting answers. There are three elements in the question: web, platform and writers. The answer must say something about all three. Another way of saying the same thing -- "You're using the web to make the platform to serve the writers."

I’ve been making many gradual changes to the RSS Cloud server over the last few months. Things have stabilized enough that I feel comfortable sharing now. New Logger The first big change was a revamp of the log page for debugging. I found that the way it was before made it almost impossible to debug […]

From Staines to The Bridge, via Kingsmeadow. This moment is not just for us. It’s for every player to have worn the Chelsea badge. It’s for every person who has pushed the women’s game forward. It’s for every supporter who has been with us on our incredible journey. T...

A good move. Interestingly only a few players were included in the media put out by the club. Some notable absences who a reasonable person would suggest should have been included given their world status. Stamford Bridge will give CFCW a stage befitting the club’s achie...

BTW the "open" web has a chance to come back around the AI rewrite of all our software that's underway now. If we build the new systems entirely around web connections, with each part replaceable, we can have as much "open" as we want. Products like Bluesky will look like they bet on the wrong horse if we all have choice everywhere. It's not as strange as you think. Opportunities come along every time things change as radically as they are changing now.

I gave the new ChatGPT image maker a whirl, it's supposed to be more thoughtful and realistic.

The prompt: “A turkey in plastic with supermarket label with text and fine print. The branding is Really Simple brand Turkey. The motto, ‘turkey for simple people.‘“

If the web were a platform for writers, how would it work?

Language is such an intimate possession, something that one possesses in the same measure that one is possessed by it. Language is bound up with the foundations of one's being, with memories and emotions, with the subtle structures of the worlds in which one lives. -- Alok Rai, Hindi Nationalism

Words of up to six letters must be easier to memorize than those of centerpede-shaped things that German, Russian and Turkish are so fond of.

Western linguists have a somewhat shameful tradition of generalizing about language on the basis of a smallish sample.

The 'one language, one script' idea is no sillier than the 'one language, one country' notion that had held sway in Europe since the rise of Nationalism in the late 1700s.
