check-in two is all about accessibility (i'm really behind, but i've been busy on other stuff.) the main related change around here is that most of my pages now have a dark/light mode option.

There are ambulance chasers all over the US, is there one who will go after OpenAI, etc., for all the hacking their models have been doing?

تُعد Haskell لغة برمجة وظيفية بحتة، ومتعددة الأغراض، وتعتمد نظام الأنواع الساكن (statically typed)، كما تتميز بآليات التقييم الكسول (lazy evaluation) واستنتاج الأنواع (type inference). سُميت اللغة تيمناً بعالم المنطق Haskell Curry، وصُممت لتركز على الدقة الرياضية، وعدم القا...

Search currents matter. “And this is why sushi is the most Japanese type of food. It’s where rice meets fish: the rice from the continent, migrating from south to north through the islands, and increasing the population through rice farming in the Japanese plains; the fish from the ocean, with the nutrients moving from north… Read More »Why Is Japan So Populated Despite So Little Land?

This is crazy. “Tokyo contains 30% of Japan’s population, yet it has been the capital of Japan for less than 200 years, and had just ~60k people around 1600! Yet by 1700, it might already have been the biggest city in the world!” https://unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/p/tokyo

That time when I had to juggle multiple fronts (literally, I still have nightmares about it), if you don't book my calendar right away, someone else might get that slot, and you'll have to reschedule again.

It's easier to ask for the time then cancel later if you don't need it.

มีช่วงนึงสลับงานเยอะมาก (ก็ยังคงฝันร้ายเรื่องนี้อยู่จนถึงทุกวันนี้) คือถ้านัดเวลามาแล้วไม่ส่ง calendar มาจอง อาจจะโดนคนอื่นเสียบแทน

เพราะฉะนั้น คนที่รู้ว่าขอเวลายาก นัดแล้วรีบจองเวลาเลย ได้ไม่ได้ยังไง cancel ทีหลังได้ อย่างน้อยเสียเวลาน้อยกว่ามาขอนัดใหม่อีกรอบ

In the end, it was the salt that ran out first. It was a victory, of sorts: nobody imagined we would outlast the supply. Perhaps if we had, we might have stretched it out longer. Before too long, we were sore, and tired, and confused, and somebody said: this is

Tech executives in big tech have no idea what they are doing

Can we nuke the GoogleBook OS and install our favorite Linux distribution (that is not omarchy)?

Going iPad Mini + iPhone combo today. The widgets are huge on an external monitor hahah. THIS is why I am hoping that the next iPad Mini supports extended display, even just 1 4K display. :)

Just don’t watch shit you do not know the source of.

Unsung heroes of the web -- librarians.

The early web was just this incredible new tool that no one knew yet how it would be used and what it would be used for.

The first Yahoo was a card catalog.

Netscape had a What's New page with links to interesting stuff.

apple.com was a Unix box under a librarian's desk. They started adding stuff that was useful to users and developers. No business model, just the librarian approach to information. Circulate it.

I think if a new web is to be born, it's because it's again a possibility with the advent of AI.

Listen to librarians, they probably have some good ideas of where to start.

Just created a new test account at mastodon.social for bullmancuso using Frontier. Claude wrote the glue scripts table. Loaded it at system.verbs.apps.Mastodon. I also asked Claude to write a script that builds an RSS feed for davew, my Mastodon account. And it worked. That's a much better feed than what Masto itself produces. It won't be updated at that location so there's no point in subscribing. But wow, this is coming together. If Frontier had been around for all these years you can be sure it would do Mastodon integration pretty well.
