Jul 20, 2020, 10:24 AM -04:00 Hmmm... interesting, but I'm honestly not sure what that would even look like.
Jul 19, 2020, 6:28 PM -04:00I think the argument would be that any enforceable rules would be built in to the protocol itself. Kind of like the idea of smart contracts I guess – certainly not without its own range possible pitfalls, but the idea being that it requires much more consensus to change a protocol. -
Jul 19, 2020, 10:06 AM -04:00 Interesting. How do you think this would apply to something like a distributed game, where you want a certain kind of enforcement of the rules between players?
Jul 19, 2020, 8:03 AM -04:00Centralised applications are authoritarian
In thin client/thick server models, the server does all the work and has all the power. Any authority for the user to do something is borrowed from the server (which can also remove it at any point). The society of users in thick-server applications route their actions through the server. When they message each other, they are updating entries in the server’s database. When they publish files, they are writing those files to the server’s disks. The server has ultimate authority over those sys... -

Jul 16, 2020, 10:45 AM -04:00Hey now
Progressive enhancement is at the heart of everything I do on the web. It’s the bedrock of my speaking and writing too. Whether I’m writing about JavaScript, Ajax, HTML, or service workers, it’s always through the lens of progressive enhancement. Sometimes I explicitly bang the drum, like with Resilient Web Design. Other times I don’t mention it by name at all, and instead talk only about its benefits. I sometimes get asked to name some examples of sites that still offer their core functiona... -

What is CSS Specificity?

The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world in fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake. -
Jul 10, 2020, 10:16 AM -04:00 TIL I learned that "boat", "bait", "bite", "bolt", and "bitter" are all cognates, from a PIE word meaning to strike or split (the connection with boat appears to be that one used to make them by hollowing out split tree trunks).

Well I appear to have successfully put together this theremin tonight, an open source hardware @arduino Uno shield from Gaudi Labs. It apparently does CV so I wanna try and use it to control one of my synths. I'd post video but my neighbor complained already 😅 -

Last week I got a little drunk and went down a theremin YouTube rabbit hole at 2am. This week, a deliciously pretty Open Source Hardware theremin board and a bundle of parts arrived in my mailbox. Thanks past drunken Helen! Your gifts are much appreciated 🥃🛠️✨ -

Jul 3, 2020, 7:32 AM -04:00 TIL that the "-ly" suffix commonly added to words in English to denote an adverb comes from the word "like" (still existing in the word "ladylike", for example). So "slowly" came from "slow-like" and "carefully" came from "careful-like" (possibly explaining the double "l").
