  • Timelines change based on interest.

    Servo is a new browser rendering engine in Rust - seems interesting and gathering steam.

    Don’t be too fatalistic - every time the corpos have come for the internet they have been circumvented. I don’t see it stopping now - especially since people like us are tired of this brand of bullshit.










  • Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

    Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

    Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

    I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.





  • I’ll say that this reaction does nothing to make me think you are approaching this with any objectivity.

    The argument, to me, seems to be that it’s impossible in the modern world as things stand to actually totally avoid animal products. That would seem like an issue that Veganism should be concerned with.

    I see your point, I think, about it being an individual choice. But though I have heard of things like vegan shoes, I can see how saying those are vegan when you may not control all the inputs seems problematic.

    Regardless, your response was so unpleasant that I don’t think I’m much interested in continuing.






  • We have an almost total lack of real discipline and responsibility in software engineering.

    “Good enough” is the current gold standard, so you get what we have.

    If we were more serious there wouldn’t be 100 various different languages to choose from, just a handful based on the requirements and those would become truly time worn, tested and reliable.

    Instead, we have no apprenticeships, no unions, very little institutional knowledge older than a few years. We are pretending at being an actual discipline.
