And a minimal CSS framework.

The Magic DNS feature is super cool as well. I'm not sure exactly what the mainstream killer app would be. But I feel like Tailscale is poised to execute if/when it arises. Perhaps…

Agree that they are on to something. I gave a tech talk about them a while ago at work and said that I think they are on the cusp of providing a consumer VPN product that appeals t…

I've always been a big fan of KDL in principle, haven't used it in anger. After that HCL, then YAML, with JSON and others being my least favourite to use. Of course the hard part i…

I'd heard of JSON resume before, but it's interesting to hear the history and motivation.

This looks great. Only 40 lines, that's some amazing golf right there.

This looks really, really good. Super fast as well. There's definitely space for a version of LinkedIn that's simpler to use and puts the resume front and center.

The network effect makes this unlikely. You could ask what would happen if Cisco tried to force a new version of TCP/IP with unwelcome changes? The comparison isn't quite the same …

Feel like I am replying to a obvious troll, but one thing that annoys me is when people blame the press for the leak. Either the leak is justified or it's not. Either way the press…

I think the danger of the public nature of the blockchain is way overstated. It's fairly trivial to introduce reasonable doubt into your transaction history, blockchain analysis is…

The definition and use of the word fiat is interesting, in Latin it means "let it be done". You could say that the creator of Bitcoin decreed that it had value (I'm not sure I woul…

I'm not convinced by the idea that surveillance in Britain is worse than in America or other first world countries. Yes there are a lot of CCTV cameras, there are a lot in most Ame…

Money == Power

Probably because a bitcoin transaction doesn't confirm instantly? (a block is found once every 10 minutes on average).

In my experience overuse of meta programming is usually a sign that the architecture of the system is bad and the software should be split up into separate libraries or web service…

I'm British and mildly pro European, I think for all the stuff that gets written about the EU, for the jokes the countries tell about each other, we have many more things that unit…
