@bert_hubert this is only one of the many excellent pieces of writing advice from one of the best books I ever read: Barbara Minto’s “The Pyramid Principle”. https://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-Principle-Logic-Writing-Thinking/dp/0273710516

Giving up and learning CSS because frameworks are making it too hard for me to be confident that my static webpage doesn't have any weird trackers or dependencies.

It’s amazing that so many of the 39c3 talks will be streamed.

Now my only job is choosing which ones to watch—an impossible task, because apparently everything is interesting. These are my current favourites (subject to change every five minutes)...

What are your favourites?

Not trying to be judgmental — use whatever site you want — but I was trying to find a new site to browse as a sort of “interesting programming-related content” aggregator. Years ago, I moved off of HN and I was on Lobsters for a bit. But looking at Lobsters now, every fifth post is about vibecoding and there’s just a lot there that doesn’t interest me.

Is there an even more niche site for people interested in little languages, permacomputing, building low level stuff, without any real focus on “productive” or “industry” programming?

Pretty cool - it turns out that the way I write my blog posts is called 'BLUF': Bottom Line up Front, and it was standardized by the US Army in their information management guidelines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLUF_(communication)

@bert_hubert Even the “simply” in “one does not simply walk into Mordor” took quite some time and a lot of sacrifices.
A nice thing about "happy solstice" is that it works for both hemispheres, even though they're different solstices!

Oh gosh yes!! I actually had the word "just" muted back in Twitter days because of the way people tended to use it, which often boiled down to 'just don't be disabled'.
I wish people would also pause for a moment when they find themselves saying "everyone" should do some thing or other, & think about how that post will feel to people who can't do things like: donate money, donate blood, cook from scratch etc.
