"While the Union survived the civil war, the Constitution did not. In its place arose a new, more promising basis for justice and equality, the 14th Amendment, ensuring protection of the life, liberty, and property of all persons against deprivations without due process, and...

Can we create a selection system that can do both whole-stroke and sub-stroke selection, while still being simple and intuitive?

Standards for ANSI escape codes

from Julia Evans [alt+shift+b] in programming

4 months ago
Hello! Today I want to talk about ANSI escape codes. For a long time I was vaguely aware of ANSI escape codes (“that’s how you make text red in the terminal and stuff”) but I had no real understanding of where they were supposed to be defined or whether or not there were...

Drawbacks of developing in containers

from Yale E360 [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
It seems like everyone these days is developing in containers. Specifically, I mean running your local development environment almost entirely in containers. There's a lot to be said for it, especially when you're bringing new developers into a project: it can be an invaluable...

What's that touchscreen in my room?

from Posts on Nikita Lapkov [alt+shift+b] in programming

Discussion on HackerNews and Lobsters. Roughly a year ago I moved into my new apartment. One of the reasons I picked this apartment was age of the building. The construction was finished in 2015, which ensured pretty good thermal isolation for winters as well as small nice things...

Living with Linux and Android after two decades of Apple

from David Heinemeier Hansson [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
It now seems laughable that only a few months ago, I was questioning whether I'd actually be able to switch off the Apple stack and stick to my choice. That's what two decades worth of entrenched habits will do to your belief in change! But not only was it possible, it's been...

We wash our trash to repent for killing God

from David Heinemeier Hansson [alt+shift+b] in programming

4 months ago
Denmark is technically and officially still a Christian nation. Lutheranism is written into the constitution. The government has a ministry for the church. Most Danes pay 1% of their earnings directly to fund the State religion. But God is as dead here as anywhere in the Western...

Success Requires Luck

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I've concluded that successful "makers" have one thing in common: luck. It's not that strategy and vision don't play a role in success, but nobody — literally nobody — can guarantee that a product or service will be successful. Think about some of the major corporations that...

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!
