Another python “improvement” by providing a Rustlang implementation of a python thing. My thought: “if we keep going down this path, python will become no more than a rustlang preprocessor”😊

Attached is an elegant new product (at least its prerelease documentation) to “publish a book” to the web. I believe it will be a single license software product that you get to deploy to a server, including a cloud server. There are of course numerous ways of doing this but 37signals.com’s stuff…

Flourish is a pretty amazing tool. Can’t wait to try it myself. Just click on the links and try it out.

Attached is a really useful tool. Episodes.fm simply searches “all” podcasts, like a google for podcasts. It is really fast!

The linked article goes in depth about ruff. Everyone loves ruff. Ruff is written in rust. Everyone loves rust. I think that last part is weird. Rust is a cool and interesting language but it is also pretty low level. Sure, for the user, rust programs tend to be very fast. But for the programmer,…

Attached is a handy site for creating templates for boxes and other containers. There are numerous of these. But this one is pretty nicely done.

Attached another huge collection of resources relating to robotics. There are some other libraries like this. This makes it difficult when you are searching for one thing or another. Still I thought I would include this here because this is a goldmine!

The attached essay by Paul Graham gives his views on how someone can think about finding the right project to work on. Not a job but work that is their own. I love this quote: “What are you excessively curious about — curious to a degree that would bore most other people? That's what you're…

Quick glance at this site gives me the impression that this is a plausible alternative Wikipedia for less exhaustive explanations for how stuff works.

The attached article describes an org structure apparently originated at Amazon, called “single threaded owner” or STO. In a company with multiple products, one common setup is to have separate dev, pm and design groups each covering all products. STO says to have a separate, single manager for…

This is for you #astronomy geeks out there. A package containing a bunch of technical algorithms used in astronomy. If you’re writing the next best solar eclipse automation app, this is for you!

Look at this interesting graph showing code “survival” over time. It reflects an almost too “textbook” pattern, with older code getting refactored out of existence. The chart comes from the tool linked here.

Wow a brand new web framework! Where did this spring from, apparently fully formed, out of nowhere? Or am I not hanging out in the right neighborhood? Take a look at the attached site!

There are now several new and different ways for us to try and get back the magic of #heroku #git-push deployments. The attached link shows a new entrant that’s worth a look

I often say that ideas are cheap. And by that I mean that everyone has a million decent ideas. The art/trick/skill is to know how to turn that one idea into something that people want, use, benefit from, and maybe are willing to pay for. That's why I don't often worry about "who had that idea…

What a wonderful tool!

I just finished binging this Acorn series, 6 seasons. Show was made in Australia. Really good!

Another tool that maybe useful to you. It changes markdown into html/css/js. Still looking. But you might find this useful

Another tool to turn markdown into html and css. This is FYI. So far I am still looking.

I was looking for a nice package to create slides using markdown files. This one is very nice except it cannot export to straight html/css/js. But other than that, I do recommend it!
