Finding the biggest items in my Photos Library

from alexwlchan [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
I’m approaching the limit of my current iCloud storage tier, and most of that is my Photos Library. I don’t really want to pay for the next iCloud storage tier – I’d be tripling my bill, but I’d barely use the extra space. (My library grows pretty slowly – I’ve only added ~6GB of...

The open source gift exchange

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

a year ago
I love writing and sharing code as open source, but it's not an abstract act of pure altruism. The first recipients of these programming gifts are almost always myself and my company. It's an intentionally selfish drive first, then a broader benefit second. But, ironically, this...

from Joel Gascoigne [alt+shift+b] in programming

* Tweet [https://twitter.com/share] * * Buffer [http://bufferapp.com/add] * Now that it’s almost two years since I first had the idea for Buffer [http://bufferapp.com], and with the year and a half before that which I worked on my previous startup, I’ve started to notice...

Go: Functional options are slow

from Evan Jones - Software Engineer | Computer Scientist [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
The Go "functional options" pattern is a way of passing options to a function. The function takes a variable number of arguments, which are themselves functions (a type like ...func(*config). I think it was first introduced by Rob Pike in a 2014 blog post. It is now used by many...

Evaluating overlay-adjacent accessibility products

from Eric Bailey [alt+shift+b] in programming

5 months ago
I get asked about my opinion on overlay-adjacent accessibility products with enough frequency that I thought it could be helpful to write about it. There’s a category of third party products out there that are almost, but not quite an accessibility overlay. By this I mean 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!
