A few weeks ago I played my first game of Twilight Imperium (Fourth Edition). It was fantastic. We were six players, most had played the third edition before. As I was quite hyped before the game, I had read up on the rules, watched a let’s play or two and listened to a podcast...

Writing a Pollen lexer in Pygments

from Jonas Hietala [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
After writing a few blog posts about Pollen I started getting annoyed that I didn’t have syntax highlighting for the code snippets. So I did a bit of fooling around with Pygments, and it turns out writing a custom lexer isn’t that unreasonable, so here’s how I did it. Pollen...

Responsibility and ownership

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Responsibility is only possible by granting ownership and setting expectations. If you don't turn over ownership, don't expect folks to take responsibility. When you grant ownership and set expectations, you'll be astounded what folks will accomplish without you. I am astounded.

Inside a vintage aerospace navigation computer of uncertain purpose

from Ken Shirriff's blog [alt+shift+b] in technology

a year ago
I recently obtained an aerospace computer from the early 1970s, apparently part of a navigation system. Aerospace computers are an interesting but mostly neglected area of computer hardware, so I'm always delighted to examine one up close. In an era when most computers were large...

Introducing TagVault Security Mount for AirTag

from Elevation Lab - Blog [alt+shift+b] in technology

8 months ago
Having had our skis stolen, we wanted to design the ultimate AirTag ski and snowboard mount. It needed to be ultra-tough so it couldn't get knocked off, waterproof, hard to remove, and discreet. After a lot of design, testing, and iteration, we have TagVault Security Mount for...

The kind of sound you never want to hear from your computer

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
The sounds of hard drives that have perished These sounds are only frightening or scary if you imagine your precious data only exists on that failing drive. If you make consistent and frequent backups and/or you run a fault-tolerant RAID flavour, it is but a nuisance.

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!
