Foam is a great FOSS clone of Roam. If you like to write text files, like markdown, and like to link among the text, then definitely try Foam and Roam-- they are superb for organization. And if you use emacs, the similar tool is org-roam fo

Project health is a good goal. To help toward that, I suggest making it especially easy for people to donate money to Rust and to crate authors. This year, Mozilla laid off Rust developers. Other languages have massive corporate backing e.g

The article's question: "Why are correlations meaningful?" Here's a simplified answer. Correlations are meaningful because they indicate how strongly variables can predict other variables, in some circumstances. This is

Svelte is better than Vue and React, IMHO, especially for typical startups building typical websites. Svelte is faster to learn, makes smarter decisions, and has compile-time checking. I teach all 3 to teams, and the top advantages of each

Git could learn from Pijul, IMHO, in the sense of better emphasis for newcomers for how to think in terms of patches. For example Pijul aims to focus on first creating a patch, whereas git tutorials IME tend to focus on first creating a bra

Great work! I can totally see the usefulness of this. And your examples of `dasel` side-by-side with `jq` and `yq` are very much appreciated because you're making it easy to learn.

Tailwind's sweet spot (for me) is for functional utility CSS, such as whipping up quick designs. I use it daily for UI/UX prototypes, along with AlplineJS. When a project grows and gets more stable, then I refactor from Tailwind t

How to run well on a wide range of phones and networks is a big challenge. The PRPL approach of preloading wastes bandwidth, and is a hard pain point for people who pay by bandwidth. Yet the load-on-demand approach is perceptually slower. S
