I’ve been thinking about this. Placemark is going open source in 10 days and I’m probably not founding another geo startup anytime soon. I’d love to found another bootstrapped startup eventually, but geospatial is hard. Anyway, geospatial data is big, which does not combine well...

from Jim Nielsen’s Blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

9 months ago
In Penn & Teller’s Masterclass (no. 12 “Principles of Performing”) they explain how one of their favorite ways to design a magic trick is to come up with an idea and then act it out as if they already know how to do it. Here’s Penn: We still start with an idea for a trick, how we...

I wrote a tweet about this but deleted it, since it’s a much more nuanced topic than can be discussed there. Nuclear weapons are the Chekhov’s gun on the world stage. When, if ever, are they going to be fired? When should they be? I suspect this is not a question a lot of people...

Luxury of simplicity by

from macwright.com [alt+shift+b] in programming

An evergreen blog topic is “writing my own blogging engine because the ones out there are too complicated.” With the risk of stating the obvious: Writing a blog engine, with one customer, yourself, is the most luxuriously simple web application possible. Complexity lies...

How do you know when to stop, versus when to push through? You don't, not even in hindsight. But these guiding questions can help.

A few months ago I wrote about what it means to stay gold — to hold on to the best parts of ourselves, our communities, and the American Dream itself. But staying gold isn’t passive. It takes work. It takes action. It takes hard conversations that ask

Language Needs Innovation

In his book “The Order of Time” Carlo Rovelli notes how we often asks ourselves questions about the fundamental nature of reality such as “What is real?” and “What exists?” But those are bad questions he says. Why? the adjective “real” is ambiguous; it has a thousand meanings....

The Web as URLs, Not Documents

a month ago
Dan Abramov on his blog (emphasis mine): The division between the frontend and the backend is physical. We can’t escape from the fact that we’re writing client/server applications. Some logic is naturally more suited to either side. But one side should not dominate the other. And...

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!
