I think https://gwern.net/ is a pretty good example of a "personal site" that in another universe could be a regular blog. https://gwern.net/changelog is the only log part of it.

Hard to say why. Windows NT was something pretty interesting though. It was meant for a corporate environment but was well known as a much more "stable" version of Windows than 95 and 98. All happening in parallel, with the Power

Those really were the days. Met a few people online back then that I would have called real friends, but I didn't even know their real name.

Infinite Jest. It haunts me mostly because of the sheer density of the information in the book, it's impossible, to me so far, to fully process everything in the book. Once I feel like I have a good sense of what was going on, I rememb

It looks like the companion app is in the App Store, but yeah if it's going to be open source then I don't understand either.

That's fair, not sure if I had seen any of his movies when I was that age either. Maybe 10 Things I Hate About You. It was a big deal at the time and his death still makes me more sad than any other pop figure that's died in my li

I hadn't heard about this, how terrible. It sucks to give in to the attackers, but 20 BTC seems like a small price to pay compared to rebuilding from scratch. One interesting bit toward the end of this article indicates the royal famil

Well, my point was that the first iPhone set a standard for smartphones that wasn't there before. After iPhone v1, people knew that "apps" were how things were going to be packaged and sold in the App Store and other app stor
