Since HN seems to be on a blog-kick lately, I'll repost the idea that I'm still waiting for someone to build: A blogverse of some kind that allows for algorithmic discoverability & aggregation (ala Medium) without the bullshit/terrible UX. The real value proposition of Medium is that a well-made aggregator benefits readers and writers alike. Readers find more authors they like, writers find more audience. There are a…

You may be interested in https://able.bio Myself and a partner are building this, here are a few points: - It's a community to read and write about building things with technology - Clean, fast and light UX + Markdown editor ( https://able.bio/new ) - Bootstrapped with low overheads. No outside investment removes pressure to grow at all costs and the lapse on integrity that we see more of each day. - No data lock-in.…

Nice. Is there an RSS feed?

It’s a fairly well known koamoji. Kaomoji is the horizontal counterpart to smileys and they can get very creative. If you set your iPhone to Japanese keyboard it comes with hundreds of these build in ︎('ω'︎ )

Bold to assume this person has an iPhone :)

Apple users seem to think everyone uses Apple products.

Except for being "self hosted" and the "front end to git" we're building that as a commercial service. https://pluma.cloud/ Not much to show yet but you can follow us on Twitter for updates in a couple of months: https://twitter.com/plumacloud We're also considering providing our CMS as headless via an API so that you can connect it to your SSG and make your own template, host it wherever you want, etc, but we haven'…

I think the mailto: link on your page is misspelt as mailt:

Thanks!

I'm struggling to understand what you mean by self-hosted. What does AWS Lambda do in this scenario? Surely not host the blog, so it must be the "cms"? At that point I'm not clear why you'd rule out netlify, as it's no longer "self-hosted." Please clarify! :)

My imagined workflow is * load a web page * write words * hit submit * this triggers a lambda function that generates a static website and puts it on s3 * this triggers another lambda function that pokes the CDN and expires anything that changed By self-hosted I mean I control all the parts. I can change the generation code, the CDN upload/expiration code, I can change the output, I can view the logs, all within my o…

I've build something like this using Hugo as a SSG and a custom Micropub-backend that commits new content to a Git repo and pushes it to a Git hosting platform. That then triggers a CI build for the site generation and upload to the webserver as well as a CDN purge.

I'm slightly amused by the domain hacks, but also concerned about a few of the ccTLDs, especially when it comes to user generated content and blogging/opinions. For example, the leader of .ph routinely calls opponents gay, is not known for human rights or free speech, and I am curious how this might reflect on it. I have the same concerns with user generated content in/on .de and their Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz law…

I mean, the leader of the country represented by .us brags about raping women, threatens nuclear wars, etc.... no country is uncontroversial.

> brags about raping women

by what definition of "rape"?

Who? Not macOS [1], or Ubuntu [2]. Does Windows still use base-2? They probably shouldn't [3]. [1]: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201402 [2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy [3]: https://www.tarsnap.com/GB-why.html

Windows uses KB to mean KiB. Raymond Chen explained it in a blog post.[1] [1]: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=17933

That explains why Windows doesn't use KiB to mean KiB. It doesn't explain why Windows doesn't use KB to mean KB.

Nail on the head. They're just weird, at least in the context of English phonetics. That's the reason I discourage their adoption. I'd much rather we just all agree that kilobyte means 2^10 bytes. Or find words that aren't weird. If I remember correctly, a big motivation for this change was the fact that disk manufacturers intentionally used base-10 definitions so they could advertise larger numbers for disk capacity…

Why should we use 2^10? Bits matter in the small—a machine with a 12-bit word and 1024 words of memory or whatever was popular in the ’70s—but at the scale of gigabytes, individual bits don’t matter anymore, so may as well just use decimal because that’s what our number system is based on. I don’t see any point besides retro nostalgia to use base 2 after you move out of the each bit counts space.

SI prefixes are fine for mass/block storage and network speeds, because there's no particular reason they would fall precisely into buckets of powers of 2. But for CPU cache and system/GPU memory in particular, and maybe even some flash memory, it does continue to make sense to use MiB and GiB, because of the particular way that memory itself is addressed and packaged. Memory very much does fall precisely along power of 2 boundaries.

For example, I recently bought two 32 GiB DIMMs for my computer. I guess you could call them 34.3597 GB DIMMs, but that's strictly worse! Knowing that they're exactly 32 GiB makes it makes it obvious that it takes 2^35 bit pointers to address every location by byte in one of those DIMMs (so they obviously require a 64-bit architecture to take advantage of!), or 2^36 bit pointers to address memory locations across both of them.

Small suggestion -- it seems like you're using the wrong units (or maybe abbreviations) for your displayed average page sizes. You're using lower-case b to indicate bits, but I suspect you mean upper-case B to indicate bytes? Also, the lower-case k is the correct prefix for 1,000, but lower case m is milli, or 1/000. You want M for mega, which is 1,000,000. Also if you really want to be precise you should consider wh…

You should learn to understand MB/mb/Mb/mB for megabyte and mbit for megabit. Anything else is inviting error and sorrow, because many people use it that way.

This is flat-out wrong. Most times when I see a lower-case b in software or documentation it really does mean bit, not byte. The standards exist for a reason and you should follow them. Anything else is inviting error and sorrow.

And no one says "mbit".

Agreed, Notion is awesome. I have even stronger feelings about Roam though. Notion is "better" than just abt anything else like it, whereas Roam is different -- there is nothing else like it.

Roam as in https://roamresearch.com/ ?

Yes!

What about org-roam https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-server

Might be nice for Emacs / orgmode users?
