- My favorite part of this book is “as-builts,” blueprint revisions from *after* construction that include all the changes you made along the way. Way more useful for maintainers! Great inspiration to keep software design docs “evergreen” and always updated to match reality.
- correct. the corollary to your quoteback idea is probably indieweb.org/marginalia, ie webmentions to indieweb.org/fragmention links, which identify specific points in text.
- reminds me of @timoreilly’s “Create more value than you capture.”
- this game looks fascinating. how is it?
- YASS. preach. i’ve always loved TDT, enough that i do it in other languages too. (usually uglier, natch.) example: github.com/snarfed/granar… github.com/snarfed/granar…
- A hole in browser Autofill support
- I want to own the database that my apps use
- Going slow to go fast
- sawmill! 😎
- WoW?
- the curse of working at google in 2004! i’m heaven@gmail, so you can imagine. side benefit though, it’s a never-ending source of humor: @emailstoheaven
- “Early in the morning of 17 July 1997, human error at Network Solutions causes the DNS table for .com and .net domains to become corrupted, making millions of systems unreachable.” – RFC 2235, Hobbes’ Internet Timeline tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2235
- Patterson’s “Latency lags bandwidth” is easily one of the most important ideas in computer science/software engineering I’ve ever heard. Held true across network, disk, memory, CPU for 40+ years. Highly underappreciated. snarfed.org/2019-07-10_378…
- climate is maybe the one notable exception to all this. let’s begin!!!
- all those problems are real, and it’s ok and valid to feel bad about them. but also, historically, they’ve all *improved* over time. sites like ourworldindata.org, gapminder.org and books like Rational Optimist, Enlightenment Now, Factfulness address this well.
- one of my favorite quotes is: “Things have never been better. Things are bad. Things can get much better. Let’s begin.” (i think it’s Hans Rosling, Max Roser, or Steven Pinker, but haven’t found a good citation yet. hard to Google. 😆)

- 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…
- Introducing “this word does not exist” today – AI generated English words with dictionary definitions. Be kind! thisworddoesnotexist.com
- I took the paper skin of a wasp’s nest that I knocked off our house, flattened it, and framed it. Now hanging in my studio.
- 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.
- Abandoned houses in Mirlo Beach, a once thriving oceanfront town on North Carolina’s Outer Banks now slowly being reclaimed by the sea (some of these buildings have since been moved or have collapsed) [photos: Greg Fitzgerald/ Island Free Press/ Don McCullough]
- 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…
- We are zooming work. Why not for fun? Here’s a snappy guide for how to zoom a lunch with a friend, from one of the funniest writers I know @ajjacobs. forge.medium.com/the-rules-for-…
- The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He went and bought all the toilet paper from all the stores of the land and brought them to he who sat on the throne.
- RIP Freeman Dyson…a legendary mind. “I grew up in the ’30s, which was a really black time. Having survived that, you can never really take pessimism seriously.” Here’s his chat with former SFI trustee @stewartbrand (@longnow) for @WIRED: wired.com/1998/02/dyson/ #solarpunk
- Today, we’re announcing a new version of Color Data: an open access, research friendly database that now includes insights into hereditary cardiovascular conditions as well as polygenic risk scores, which can help to stratify risk in a population. blog.color.com/color-data-exp…
- 10 yo asked when I’d let him and his 7 yo brother walk to school by themselves. I told him the task was not to get himself to school safely, but to get his brother to school safely. I could practically hear his brain struggle to assimilate this paradigm shift.
- As is the tradition, here’s the year 2019 as seen on @electricityMap. Not all countries are green 24/7!
- Incredibly haunting photo from David Caird in today’s Oz
- Susie,, Just when you thought I’d never get to heaven. I think I’ve arrived. Sorry that you missed it.

- In the stillness of Tibet, moving a prayer is like saying the prayer, so villagers spin prayer wheels as they walk around a temple’s perimeter. Each wheel is covered in painted sacred prayers, earning the spinner blessings. Photo from my book #VanishingAsia #Tibet #prayerwheels
- “I just accepted an offer for a remote web developer position at $60k base salary (I live in central Missouri so I pay $375/mo for rent). It’s not just my career that’s changed though. I’ve become a whole new person – actually the person I’ve always felt like on the inside.”
- I get the swirls, but what causes the colors in the swirls?
- My first programming job more than doubled my previous income. I was sharing a dilapidated old house with like 10 other people at the time, like the house in Fight Club. Programming completely changed the course of my life. Lambda is helping thousands of others to do the same.
