This reminds me of Programming from the Ground Up[1]. Although this seems to focus much more on networking. I wonder if someone could write a Programming from the Ground Up style book and use WASM instead of x86 Assembly. [1]: https:/

There’s enough beginners guides to smalltalk. What there is none of is “smalltalk for working programmers”. Or “do meaningful things with smalltalk”. Pharo has some good guide books, but they still keep things contained just within the sing

Are there personal email clients that send plain text instead of html emails? Perhaps the iOS mail app is one of the only ones?

It kind of reminds me of PCPartPicker, but for gardens. You already have "build guides" with those lists (just let people vote and comment on them maybe?). Now you need to add a "Garden Builder" tool that accounts for ge

On the contrary, I think it’s a feminine design. I would wager that more watches are sold to women too. Anecdotally it appears to be true. And when we look at the epidemic of rock-bottom testosterone levels in men, this makes sense. Really

I know this won’t be popular here, but this reminds me of the “security theater” talked about on the Urbit blog. They basically designed the urbit network to account for the fact that there needs to be human escape hatches for any number of

Have you heard of the BrightID project? I think it could be a pretty cool way to determine real identity without leaking info to the network at large.

They're not "biggened". They're bolder and more blocky. Which from a design perspective appears louder, more brash, and not calm.

Maybe they're odd, but they look much better to me. Firefox text feels loud and anxious in comparison.

Adding to this, if you have markdown files in your website directory and simply pull them in and render them via Javascript, search engines will still index your markdown files. Your content is still discoverable.

Sia released a new version of their product called Skynet[1] which provides exactly the functionality of IPFS+Filecoin today. Part of Skynet is a group of SDKs[2] which you can use to integrate skynet storage as part of your application. I

How does Coil not have _all_ of your data, though? They maintain centralized knowledge of everything you look at and for how long. Or am I missing something?

The worst thing about ActivityPub and federation is the hefty resources it costs to run them. Same issue with Matrix. It’s impossible to make a profitable business hosting servers For people because of how horrifyingly inefficient they are.

My only issue with Coil (and I suspect why it hasn't taken off) is because XRP seems extremely scammy (pre-mined, centralized, etc). I'd love to see WebMonitization work with at least 1 other coin besides XRP. Supposedly Interledg
