Linked - Sourcefeed - a pop-up RSS service launched

Interesting

Why? Some writing wants to be a website. Some wants to be a newsletter. Some wants to be a feed.

Sourcefeed is for the third kind. RSS-only. No website, no inbox, no algorithm. Subscribers read it where they choose, in whatever reader they already trust.

Linked - Before GitHub

GitHub accidentally became that archive because it became the center of Open Source activity. Once that no longer holds, we should not assume some magic archival function will emerge or that GitHub will continue to function as such. We have already seen what happens when ...

Linked - Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub

Writing this makes me irrationally sad, but Ghostty will be leaving GitHub. GitHub is the place that has made me the most happy. I always made time for it. When I went through tough breakups? I lost myself in open source… on GitHub. During college at 4 AM when ever...

Hope, potentially. There is currently no widely available, accurate diagnostic marker for ME/CFS. However, growing evidence suggests that the electrical characteristics of white blood cells could form the basis of a low-cost, reliable diagnostic test for the disease. ...

My Take on WordPress Social (Blurt)

There is a new short-form blogging theme for WordPress.com called Blurt. I have a few opinions about this, so I figured I’d chime in. This is one of the hopefully many things we’ll see come out of Radical Speed Month at Automattic, which only started a week ago. For those of you not following Automattic […]

You kind of get a sense when the platform vendor is going to compete with you instead of work with you, and I've had that feeling for Automattic for a while. That's how big companies work with independent devs. There is a bigger picture, developers who might build on WordPres...

Claude unlearns things that we had settled a long time ago. It fumbles around with a process, making it worse with every iteration, the same fumbling it did five days ago when it initially learned how to do what it can't do now. Usually when I regress in software, I am responsible for it, i did something to break it, but here's a tool that's capable of derailing us with me doing nothing new. In that way it behaves more like an imperfect human than a GIGO machine.

A question I'd like to put out there. Maybe AI needs the massive data centers now, but they could definitely get more efficient over time. There might be another Moore's Law in there. And the work is going very fast, and maybe they're leaving other optimizations for later. T...

This week is being spent, among other things, teaching Claude how to write code that fits in with my library of apps. I like this. It's like a painter telling an assistant the rules for adding to the sculpture. Art has been practiced like that for a long time. Anyway, here's...

The Loop: everything has happened before, and everything will happen again

We're very good at making the loops run faster.

We're not so good at stopping them.

We're very dumb monkeys.

What makes the web?

I’ve been trying to come up with a simple test that lets you know whether some software is on the web or if it just can be made to appear in the web browser. So here we go.

If you can hook up a piece of the app to the a piece of another app then it’s on the web.

This comes from the basic feature of linking, which is the unique feature of the web.

Every other feature that makes the web the web in my experience is allowing two things to be part of each other.
