Personal tools

I used to make little applications just for myself. Sixteen years ago (oof) I wrote a habit tracking application, and a keylogger that let me keep track of when I was using a computer, and generate some pretty charts. I’ve taken a long break from those kinds of things. I love my...

Paper review: The Gamma Database Project

from Yale e360 [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Last week, I read "The Gamma Database Project" for a Red Book reading group. Unlike the last paper for this group, this one was a lot more approachable in length: 19 pages. I'm putting up some of my notes here from reading the paper. If you read through to the end, there's...

Ink Note Fall 2023: Constraint System

from Ink & Switch [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
At the beginning of phase 2, we weren’t sure what to do about constraints. Based on past exploration, constraints seemed to hold a lot of promise but were notoriously unreliable. A good constraint system could unify and power a number of key aspects of the dynamic medium we seek.

Personal Websites Are As Vulnerable As Us

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

10 months ago
I look at some people’s personal websites and think, “Stupendous! If I ever reach that zenith of personal web design, I will call it quits.” Then I read a post by them later and they say something like, “Gah! I just really don’t like where I’m at with my personal website.” And in...

“The iOS App Icon Book” in Japanese

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

a year ago
Seeing something you made put in print is exciting. Seeing something you made translated and put in print, well that’s pretty damn exciting too. Such was the feeling when I opened my copy of the Japanese translation of The iOS App Icon Book. While the core idea of the book...

Some notes on nix flakes

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

a year ago
I’ve been using nix for about 9 months now. For all of that time I’ve been steadfastly ignoring flakes, but everyone keeps saying that flakes are great and the best way to use nix, so I decided to try to figure out what the deal is with them. I found it very hard to find simple...

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!
