- Yes! One of the most frustrating parts of web3 is the wholesale dismissal of DNS + HTTP + TLS. Those aren’t perfectly decentralized, but they may be closer than blockchain in practice, and the centralized parts have useful, mature human governance. More: snarfed.org/bluesky-satell…
- On a related note, I learned Prolog recently, and man, what a trip. I love the idea of declarative programming, but it feels even further away than functional feels from imperative. Great perspective!
- Yes! I mean, maybe I’m old, but how could you not start with something like Lisp?
- For example, indieweb.org/web_hosting currently recommends micro.blog, which is basically a social network that just happens to let you serve your profile on your own domain. They can even handle the registration and DNS automatically, behind the scenes.
- Totally. Admin tax is real! One thing I like is that the IndieWeb tries to not gatekeep and require your own servers or software, just a domain and data portability, which means you can avoid most/all of the admin tax.

- Interesting! I usually start out with a new word each time and try to make each guess satisfy all the clues so far. Different kinds of min-maxing, I guess

- Is this the “DNS + SSL are decentralized and ubiqitous” vs “DNS + SSL aren’t decentralized *enough*” debate? If so, then ok. Different values and priorities on each side. 🤷
- fixed! thanks again. github.com/snarfed/wordpr…
- oh wow, thanks for the heads up! and interesting, it’s evidently browser specific, broken in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox. and I haven’t touched the CSS in a while. hrm, ok then…
- One generous take would be, some anti-crypto people have already done that, and found it wanting. (“Is crypto bad?” is obviously bigger than “Is Kent Beck bad for doing an NFT?” Many reasonable people might say yes to the former, oversimplified and all, and no to the latter.)

- I think our current framework for copyright and patents is inverted. Public domain should be the default, not the special case. My reasons here: kk.org/thetechnium/id…
- I’m building a house and I tell my contractor I don’t want any smart shit in it and he’s like “but you’re a tech guy?” and I say “yes exactly”.
- If you’re overthinking, write. If you’re underthinking, read.
- Finally, we can’t wait for our incredible lineup of speakers @sacca of @lowercarbon, @fionaspruill of @overstoryai, Zubair Jandali of @PachamaInc, @schnarfed of @NCX, and @kamal_kapadia of @terradotdo to share their stories and insights with our inaugural cohort!

- Today: Lost a court case, climbed a mountain, read hundreds of pages of legal papers, wrote some code. Just as determined as ever to fight on until there is genuine developer and consumer freedom in software, and fair competition in each mobile platform software component.

- The ancient painters of Chinese scrolls were not exaggerating when they painted towering mountains jutting out of swirling clouds. This is the view from the top of Huangshan, (Yellow Mountain) China one early morning. Photo from my book #VanishingAsia #Huangshan #China #scrolls
- Many of us have known about the amazing biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest since childhood. I still remember the song from a video I saw about it when I was a kid: “The rainforest…the tropical rainforest.” It is also its own unique front in the climate change fight. 1/13
- Blogs = still the best representation of the Internet’s promise. Everyone should have a site that they own, not just a social media account (which are great for promoting blog posts).
- This Memorial Day weekend, I’m thinking about my grandfather, Raymond T. Lahar (middle), and rereading his memoirs. He fought in World War II, in the European and North African theaters, Company K, 142nd Infantry, 36th Division, 1942-1945.
- Today we received an EUA for LAMP, a technology that makes COVID-19 testing faster, more efficient, and less reliant on constrained supplies compared to RT-PCR. We’ve used it to create protocols for scalable lab design and return-to-work programs. color.com/lamp-eua-press…

- Direct Line to God? I need to send God the Standard Soul Relinquishment Contract for [John Doe], I need his email or fax number, which ever is preferable.

- Today, we’re launching a high-throughput, CLIA-certified COVID-19 testing lab integrated with public health tools. We’ll begin processing samples to support public health efforts over the coming week, with a near-term goal of 10,000 tests per day. color.com/covid-19-press…

- Calendars capture time to work, But miss time set aside to think. This is a hangover from the industrial revolution. Physical labor is somewhat predictable and mechanical. Mental labor is not. Plan accordingly.
- Side note: DNS is the unsung hero of web1. A mapping between network layer (domain name) and physical layer (IP), controlled fully by users, enabling them to keep centralized services in check with a credible ability to exit.
- This is completely wrong. Domain name is not network layer and IP is not physical layer 🙄
- Good thread. Common misconceptions in web2 vs. web3 debates are: 1. Centralization vs. decentralization is binary 2. Decentralization inherently makes products better
- When someone asks, “What language should I use to learn functional programming?” and people reply “Haskell” I want to scream!
- And I’m not trying to knock Haskell in general. But I think there are better choices (or need to be). For example, how about starting FP without needing to care about a complex type system?
- We asked our neighbor to stop feeding the pigeons crapping on our house. No dice. But he *was* open to feeding them birth control, so we’re doing that now.
- OK hear me out, what if we move Silicon Valley to Miami but ban anyone from messing with Little Havana, this is pretty much the most perfect Friday night.
- When you decide to run Lighthouse on Google for a change

- How many couples do you know that have published a paper about their home? Now I know one: @SiegnerAlana and Brett Webster :) very proud to have joined you and so many committed folks on this project! #itsallabouttheERV
- In web3, you own something until a 17 year-old in St. Petersburg borrows your 32 byte private key (shorter than this tweet) for 100ms and steals your entire life savings with no recourse.
- I’m writing something longer on this but the continued willful ignorance of the entire sordid history of software and information security by the otherwise smart people funding web3 is both infuriating and creates a great market opportunity for those with appropriate paranoia.
- that’s similar to hard mode (in settings)!

- There’s also my library Authl, authl.readthedocs.io, which wraps a bunch of different identity providers and might be useful if you want to allow login from silo providers and also emailed magic links as well.
