Dan dan mian, the clearly Not Chinese way

from Liz Denys [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Once upon a time, I stumbled across a reasonably accurate Szechuan recipe for dan dan mian. This isn't it. In fact, I've never actually made it because I couldn't acquire all of the ingredients without going out of my way. Also, I don't really like committing to making a certain...

Classic rock, Mario Kart, and why we can't agree on Tailwind

from Josh Collinsworth [alt+shift+b] in programming

It's popular to say we can’t agree on Tailwind, but I posit we actually already do. I think what we actually disagree on isn’t the details of this (or any) specific software; it's in what we value, and how we each define assets and liabilities.

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!
