I started a new account — Street Typography @street.rakhim.org Examples of interesting... words I guess (?) I found on random streets of random cities. Signs, graffitis, weird logos, anything that resembles cool typography. All pictures are taken by me.

Roma, head of design of Evil Martians, is looking for his next gig. We know each other for a long time, had endless discussions about font design, he is very meticulous, detail-oriented and with great taste. Martian Mono (his font) has been my daily driver for a while. Can’t recommend him enough!

We’re excited to announce that @tonsky.me will be speaking at Local-First Conf 2025.

Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉 It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago. No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format. Link below. 👇

AI has revolutionized my workflow! Thanks to Google being garbage and LLMs generating random bullshit I get to read official docs and original open source code more often. 👍

Stop saying that one programming language is better than another. It all depends what you want to do. When you want to fight with a borrow checker, use Rust. When you want to guess which esoteric tsconfig some lib requires, try TypeScript. When you feel like yelling at a package manager, do Python.

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

I once heard Douglas Adams say in an interview that "Technology" is what we call the stuff that doesn't work. At some point electric lights and refrigerators were the height of tech. When they didn't quite work. Now with IOT they are back to being tech and, well, let's hope the WiFi is working...

Just submitted my response for the State of ClojureScript survey by @romanliutikov.com and one comment I added might be worth sharing here... I've shared this sentiment with others in the past but basically I wonder if ClojureScript should take more of a Coffeescript type of route

My biggest frustration with iPhone has to be that somehow app developers get to chose what text the user can select and copy. So much wasted time screenshotting just so the phone can OCR its own text...

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Twitter inflicted me psychic damages I didn’t notice. It is SO obvious in retrospect.

We should normalize calling this fractal "The Mandelbutt". I think it suits it well.
