it's 2007. you're scrolling your favorite rss feeds in google reader. the internet ad market has led to a boom in mid-sized blogs that can employ tens of writers and editors in a relatively niche subject. you don't know it, but this is the last time journalism will be any good.

Contrary to people's overall fascination with the #Supernote, I found out that buying it was a big mistake (for me, personally). I am returning it. As someone who owned a #reMarkable 2 and loved it, I am well aware of what these devices can and cannot do. I just expected far more from the SN.

Hi folks, it’s survey time! We’d love to learn more about how you use Go and what could be improved. Share your feedback via our annual developer survey at google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... It should take 10 - 20 minutes to complete, and will be open through September 30. Thank you! #golang

A small act of genuine kindness echoes farther than shallow populism. Moments like these, are what makes me keep bringing a camera with me. And, keep my hope in humanity. Photos taken during the annual Pirin Ultra 160 km trail run last weekend. — #running #photography #kindness #goodnews

For the first time, I’m actually happy that my IPhone no longer qualifies for major iOS updates.

It's one of those days: github.com/preslavrache... --- #programming #mjml #golang

i can't believe they built me into the app

Same!

Live-editing a website in Obsidian is a true joy, this is my setup with Hugo bsky.app/profile/step...

Hi friends. Blogging is fun, so I started again. I hope you’ll take a look and follow along at @notetoself.studio notetoself.studio

Yes, finally! Was about time. #Bluesky

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

Apparently, someone tripped up the router connecting #Google to South and Eastern Europe, and everyone is freaking out right now. No meetings today, I guess 😀 source: outage.report/google

Why golang is great for self-hosted software. Love this list on why miniflux uses it miniflux.app/opinionated.....

One of the things I love about #programming is that being creative with names justifies the complexity. If you want to pass around a single function, call it a Middleware or a Callback. If it needs more stuff, wrap it in a type, add a bunch of methods, call it a Plugin, and you’re good to go.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

Thank you for making #GopherCon 2025 truly unforgettable! Gophers, YOU are the heart of this amazing community. #GophersUnite #golang

Humour is the last weapon against the powerful because it operates from outside the realm of accepted authority, at the same time as it indicates mutual recognition of it as authoritative. happy weekending. worth the read🤓 aeon.co/essays/democ...

One thing I’m super thankful to #Elon for, is killing everyone’s interest in social media. Yes, #bluesky exists, and #mastodon exists, but it’s all just disparate small bubbles, and trying to stick around everywhere is too exhausting. But the obvious benefit is I’m not wasting my time scrolling ;)

slices.Sorted(maps.Keys( ... )) is now my favorite #golang shorthand to get the sorted list of a map's keys.

След списъка с държавните имоти изчезна и регистърът с търговете им След като МРРБ скри списъка на Желазков и НН ГЕРБ/ДПС с държавни имоти за продажба, вчера са затворили изцяло и публичния регистър на търгове на АППК - агенцията, която провежда електронните търгове. Това се е случило на 25-ти…

⏳ 48 hours to Go! In just two days, #GopherCon kicks off in the city that never sleeps. From workshops and community meetups to inspiring talks and the hallway track, NYC is ready — and so are we! 🗽✨ See you in New York City! 💙 🎟️ www.gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust #GophersUnite #golang

My only 2 criteria for good code > Does it crash? No > Does it do what I want? Yes

Genuinely sucks. I feel ancient when I say the internet of the mid-2000's with its decentralized blogs, open source CMS's, and RSS feeds was much better than the abusive aggregate platforms we have now. But I think it's true.

I joined the LUT crowd. My first-ever LUT is up for sale! If you end up paying the $1.99, catch up with me to explain to you how I built it. It's a pretty interesting scientific approach, analyzing old Lomo scans. p5v.gumroad.com/l/wild-paste... --- #photography #lut #lomo

Happy to see, I've once again made it to the Golang Weekly. This time, with gomjml: www.golangweekly.com/issues/566 #programming #golang

This is where the Go generics dream goes to die ... #programming #golang

Added a new release of gomjml that adds significant performance improvements via opt-in template caching: github.com/preslavrache... #golang #mjml

It's difficult to express how frustrating it is to find RSS feeds "protected" by Cloudflare (and more recently, Azure) anti-bot measures. Yes, the request has come from a bot because (most) humans don't consume RSS feeds directly. That's the point.

🎊 Go 1.25.0 is released! 📝 Release notes: https://go.dev/doc/go1.25 ⬇️ Download: https://go.dev/dl/#go1.25.0 #golang

I am happy to announce that gomjml now has feature parity with the reference MJML compiler, and can be (carefully) used in other projects. From now on, the roadmap to 1.0 will focus solely on testing, validation, and performance improvements. preslav.me/2025/08/12/i... #golang #programming #mjml

Ask the AI to fix it.

YES. This is what sane systems should do! You declare what you want, and the computer figures out the rest reliably. No need to ship a JSON graveyard of frozen hashes around. tonsky.me/blog/lockfil... #programming

I mean, there is an official MJML JS compiler? Why did you need another version of it? Just call it from your Go app. Like, how slow can it be? Very, very, very .... slow Which is one of the reasons I created gomjml: github.com/preslavrache... #golang #mjml

The one unintended takeaway I got from this article is that #homeschooling is so boring and anti-social that people become math geniuses and run away to Academia, to get formal schooling and socialize: www.quantamagazine.org/at-17-hannah...

OK, ChatGPT, now you triggered my attention! Please, go on :) #programming #golang

Not all uses of #LLM have to be about sending stupid marketing messages. Here's something I hope more people will use them for: www.nature.com/articles/s41... P.S. Does anyone have a link to the actual paper? I hope it's not just some random AI text with zero substance. #goodnews #science #AI

This morning, I open-sourced a project that Claude Code and I have been secretly working over for the past few weeks. Presenting gomjml, a native Go compiler for the MJML email templating language 📧🚀 Some GitHub ⭐️ are more than welcome! github.com/preslavrache... --- #programming #golang #mjml

Do you also, sometimes, have this uneasy feeling when you get your photos out of your camera, and there are absolutely ZERO edits you want to do to them? Like, social pressure wants you to turn the RAW files upside down, but to your subjective eye, the JPEGs are just 👌? #photography #SOOC

Claude Code has been a hit-and-miss for me lately. Yeah, it can get to the 80% in 2 hours, but the remaining 20% will bring frustration and burned tokens (a.k.a $$$). I found a solution that works for me, maybe it will for you, too — slowing the process down using hooks: preslav.me/2025/07/26/c...

Ozzy was one of those rare individuals, who could put up with a ton of 💩 in their lives, and still make it to a relatively old age. RIP, man 🤘You'll be remembered! #ozzyosbourne

I want to be more mindful of my Claude Code usage throughout the day. So, I've put together a quick toolbar app thanks xbar and a Claude utill called ccusage. If anyone's interested, I will write a short blog post these days. P.S. Using Claude Pro, you still don't pay per token 😬 --- #claudecode

Almost more significant than the success of #Python is the growth of #Jupyter #Notebooks: “Data scientists and machine learning researchers commonly use the #OpenSource application for #MachineLearning, #DataViz, and more.” jupyter-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/in...

Protip: For all of you vibe coders out there using macOS, you can ask Claude Code to send you a notification when it's finished implementing the task you asked it to do. --- #vibecoding #claudecode #macos

One of the things I love about @obsidian.md is that you have total control over how things are styled. Don't like the default way HTML comments are rendered? No problem — a tiny bit of custom CSS will fix that. Now we have nicely styled inline comments that will appear only in the draft. #obsidianmd

I’m a fan of Feedle’s outbound RSS feeds! That made it a nice source to add to scour.ing @preslav.me: preslav.me/2025/07/02/i...

I felt the need to explain the idea of inbound and outbound RSS feeds and how we take advantage of those in @feedle.world. Hope, you will enjoy this read. preslav.me/2025/07/02/i... --- #rss #blogging #openweb
