What makes RSS so powerful is that it is an open format. RSS is one of the reasons the blogosphere grew so rapidly and it is the reason why podcasting exploded: because this open format allowed everyone to participate by simply publishing a feed anywhere on the web, without being restricted by platform requirements, closed APIs, and paywalls. And this superpower is also why RSS is having a renaissance today: it allows everyone to subscribe to, share, syndicate, and cross-post content on the open web.

RSS already is the cornerstone of many open technology systems like podcasting, which can’t be owned and controlled by any one company. As Anil Dash notes, this alone is radical, because it is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that’s supposed to be impossible: open and empowering tech that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

So, feel free to stop by any time and stay as long as you like. I won’t track you, make you look at ads, ask you to download my app, harass you with popups, suggest you sign up for my newsletter or push you through a sales funnel. Enjoy the garden, and the peace 💐.

From My own little patch

Sit with that for a second, you can write a desktop application with no tooling, launch it from your phone to the internet for free, and seconds later install it on any computer. You don’t have to ask permission, or jump through any App Store hoops. You can write a thing, push it to the internet, and then immediately use the thing. Even better, you can send the link to your friends and they can immediately use the thing. That’s the power of the web.

You don’t need to know how to implement all the data structures, that’s what (software) libraries and Wikipedia are for (and for that matter, book libraries too). However, it is useful to have an idea of what’s available and when to use it.

So models know everything about all the things. But it’s not enough. They don’t know how to act human.

So they need to study every online human conversation. They need social media. But social media is a walled garden — you can’t just walk up and scrape every Facebook post, every Instagram image — not after those guys already did it. And besides, maybe copyright does apply to them after all!

So they make deals with the social media platform’s owners to access its subjects’ data. Here’s every platform I can find that has publicly announced AI training:

That’s all there is. After these deals finalise, there will be no more available training data on the internet. It’s all been absorbed. Whatever the state of AI models is in a year or two, they cannot get any better after that, as there simply will not be any more data to train on.

From The internet has run out of training data - cadence’s weblog (personal blog)

After the main hubbub subsided, I was let in early on the fun. It ended up being the best gift of all to see such an amusing event in internet history caused on my behalf by my better half.

From Surprise for a programmer on Birthday

As a web developer, having a quick go-to web stack to build projects like this is essential. So many times I’ve had project ideas of grandeur, only to get stalled immediately in the technical architecture because I didn’t have the right tools on-hand to get started.

But not this time. My muscle memory for Astro + Vue hosted on github + vercel has become strong enough that these things faded away into the background, letting me focus on the core functionality.

If you don’t have this at-hand, I recommend going into real prototype mode and using something like codepen.

From Takeaways from a Weekend Project

”Did you catch the game last night?”

I don’t know who talks like that, but it seems to be the right type of thing to use as an example here.

In the age of remote work, there are a lot of culture-building moments like that lost behind the screen divide. So, in similar fashion to remote leadership, building strong remote-based company cultures takes a concerted effort.

Yup, that’s right; they were prepared to throw their own WebKit and Safari teams under the bus and remove Web Push, the Badging API, and all the other work those teams had done.

Here’s a thing I never would have imagined possible: an LLM embedded into a font.

From Note from June 24, 2024 | Chase McCoy

Discovering and playing Bokunatsu (and watching Tim’s 6 hour magnum opus of a review) has given me a deep appreciation for the timelessness of art and media.

A game from 24 years ago, deeply steeped in a culture that isn’t my own, has managed to create in me a sense of warm nostalgia. Its soundscapes remind me of home, but also make me long for a place I’ve never been.

It’s also worth appreciating the meta aspect of the journey I went on to discover and experience this game, all because of a link in a newsletter. This is why the web is so special, and it’s what an AI will never do: unearth a lost gem.

When writing in his diary at the end of each in-game day, Boku reflects on “the most wonderful day in which nothing happened.” Let this be a reminder that there is magic waiting to be found in the mundane.

From Boku no Natsuyasumi | Chase McCoy

Contrast the above mega-corporate phone system with the simple and direct experience you’ll get when calling a typical small business:

• Phone call answered by a human being
• Provides the required information/support
• Done.

That is 1,000,000,000 times better than being treated like cattle in some limited, over-engineered, automated telephone service.

From Why Automated Phone Systems SUCK | Perishable Press

The solution that most improved passenger happiness was to increase the distance between the arrival terminal and baggage reclaim, such that, although the delay between arriving and receiving baggage was largely the same, it was spent actively moving; passengers were not feeling like they were wasting their time passively waiting around.

This was a great example of if you can’t make something actually fast, make it seem fast enough.

WTF!?

Modern WordPress - Yikes!

Years on and I feel that we’ve gone down a path where creativity is second to efficiency and that we often look at ready made solutions or reusing what exists. Tools like Squarespace and Wix offer pre-designed templates and drag and drop builders mean anyone can build a site without writing any code but we’ve come to a point where everything looks the same

We have deadlines to meet and we’re looking to cut costs so the process has become more about efficiency over creativity in my mind.

From Decline of web craftsmanship | Website and blog of Front-end developer and web designer, Dan Davies

It was about improvisation. How a lot of things we do every day are - to some extent, made up! From how we greet each other, to how we respond to an unexpected phone call. None of it is planned. We don’t create some sort of crazy scalable distributed architecture to deal with these things: They’re licks.

While we’re thinking of the perfect solution, the original problem is still there. Users don’t see your research, users don’t see the architecture meetings, users don’t see the ether. The only thing they see is the problem. And guess what? The problem is still there.

From Do things that don’t scale - Duarte O.Carmo

So in order to be found on google you have to pay them. Which means that if I, as someone who searches, am looking for something I end up at the website with the largest marketing budget. Not necessarily at the website with the best content. That’s bad. That very bad. But it gets worse.

From Google search is corrupt ⚒ Nerd

the world needs more recreational programming. like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?

no, but it was the most fun to write.

But my favorite kinds of projects are the ones that are just for the fun of it.

From Side projects should be fun - Matt Steele

“Hey, we need to do this or we’re going to hit a wall.” Well, we’re not hitting any walls so I guess we don’t need to do this. And then we hit a wall.

Any working system can become invisible to the point where the system loses value because it’s working.

From Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease - Snook.ca

The internet today is a lot like my Seattle experience. The “For You” pages on the various social networks are spot on with regards to what I like, and they help me get more into the things that I like. But those aren’t really “social” networks as much anymore. They’re content networks. It’s things, not connections. Yes, some connections do happen, but the mediums are geared towards what content will keep you around.

I feel like the internet of the past was more like my Chicago experience. I made random internet friends who I’m still friends with from over a decade ago. There’s little pockets here and there on Discord (hello, nerds) and other more chat-oriented spaces, but it’s not what it once was.

the point is that there isn’t a big central place now to find or interact with friends unless you really put a lot of effort into it.

From Seattle and the internet

“In web development, a lot of decisions are driven by the fear of looking dumb. People are worried about appearing unsophisticated and unwilling to say this is “too complicated and we should do something simpler even though it’s not super sexy“”

Peer pressure is the ultimate evil. New developers are especially prone to thinking “seniors” will make fun of them for picking some tech stack that doesn’t look complex:

People use our app because they need it. If you happen to build something people need, and you are able to find customers in a way that’s sustainable, you’ll have success.

From Simplicity

But I need to remember, now and again, that Apple is a corporation, and corporations aren’t people, and they can’t love you back. You wouldn’t love GE or Exxon or Comcast — and you shouldn’t love Apple. It’s not an exception to the rule: there are no exceptions.

Apple doesn’t care about you personally in the least tiny bit, and if you were in their way somehow, they would do whatever their might — effectively infinite compared to your own — enables them to deal with you.

From inessential: Corporations Are Not To Be Loved

But, whose user is it anyway? That’s irrelevent. The ultimate goal is to provide a good and accessible experience to the user. The way email clients and senders are handling this right now takes focus away from that goal and the engineering effort is instead put into tricking the other party’s code to do what you want.

Its always the same game of mouse and cat around different topics like with ads when the user is not the one in control.

From Whose user is it anyway?

I want to order a pizza. · Luna’s Blog is a clear example of the uneeded complexity around things that should be as easy as a few taps.

Im a sucker for this kind of content of “lets build a cpu in the most random places” or “this thing is turing complete”. Love it.

It always amazes me the kind of things that you can do with redstone.

Maybe im in a nostalgia train, but i love the idea that a group of fans are trying to recreate and let you experience how things worked in the past.

On the fringes of the internet, where things are small and specialized (even when they’re grim or shocking), there’s something far more captivating than the sanitized, controlled environments we’ve established on the modern web. And it is still very much out there, and I believe it is growing.

From Reversing the boring web by The History of the Web

JavaScript in the address bar, as a protocol for a URL, was possible virtually from day one of the language, effectively creating JavaScript URLs.

[…] And pretty early on, people realized that these JavaScript URLs were also bookmarkable, just like any other URL.

And, crucially, easily shareable as links.

From Wait, what’s a bookmarklet? by The History of the Web

A little history of bookmarklets, something that i really like and even shared in my posts

When I say “I don’t know where everyone went,” I know everyone’s out there surfing the web, of course, but it feels like it’s a different place now. When the algorithms are determining everything we should be seeing, it’s a much less personal internet. The “For You” pages of the world are right, I am interested in that content, but I’m not seeing it from my friends, or that one author I like, or that random blog I found when I was learning about an obscure hobby.

I also found myself mourning in the last weeks the old communities that i had on the internet.
