I really like using (and making!) programming playgrounds, and I got thinking the other day about how I didn’t have a great list of playgrounds to refer to. So I asked on Mastodon for links to cool playgrounds. Here’s what I came up with. I’d love to know what I...

from orlp.net - Blog Archive [alt+shift+b] in programming

How I wrote a book using Pollen

from Jonas Hietala [alt+shift+b] in technology

3rd May 2020
I wrote an online book using Pollen, a static site generator in Racket. An earlier post contains my first impressions of it, but as the book is now completed I think I can summarize some implementation details in more detail with this post. I really like the markup language and...

Observer Theory

from Stephen Wolfram Writings [alt+shift+b] in programming

11th Dec 2023
The Concept of the Observer We call it perception. We call it measurement. We call it analysis. But in the end it’s about how we take the world as it is, and derive from it the impression of it that we have in our minds. We might have thought that we could do science “purely […]

Happy Endings

from Writing [alt+shift+b] in technology

27th Nov 2017
This, to me, is the perfect sit-com. It’s that simple: for two seasons (skip the first season; you don’t need it and the show tries to be too conventional) it shits out an outrageous level of humor with a cast that has a perfect chemistry. There is a tiny bit of “aw, shucks”...

from Maps Mania [alt+shift+b] in cartography

Bert Spaan has taken Mapterhorn's global terrain data to create an interactive global Relief map. What is particularly interesting about this new map is that, unlike traditional topographic maps with a fixed colour-to-elevation scale, the map's colour spectrum adapts dynamically...

Lately I've had a lot of time for thinking. Partially because I shut down Blymp back in January and freed up a lot of my mental resources. No clients to follow up with. No admin stuff to stress about. But thinking is also my favourite activity, and there'll always be time in my...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
