Via an O’Reilly talk with Steve Yegge. Approachable and short essay by Richard Sutton. Even I could read and understand it. From Wikipedia the principle says: in the long run, approaches that scale with available computational power (such as brute-force search or statistical learning from large datasets) tend to outperform ones based on domain-specific understanding because they are better at taking advantage of Moore’s law.

Via the Changelog newsletter I think? A local first code playground. Played around with it a bit and I really like it.

I’m learning and using HTMX right now, so this is a great read.

I’ve heard of Ctrl-d, and Ctrl-c, but not Ctrl-z!

Always undone changes to files like git checkout somefile - but stumbled upon git checkout -- somefile instead, and wondered WTF mate.

Stumbled upon this site - probably via Mastodon - and it’s very cool. There’s a big button to take you to a random blog post, or you can browse all the blogs that are tracked in a big table.

I’ve heard of the event loop but never understood it - this talk does a good job of explaining it. Though it’s been 10 years, maybe how it works has changed?
