Very affordable website hosting. Might have a look at this the next time I want to spin up a low-content site or custom blog or something.

Conversation about digitising lab notebooks
Conversation about digitising lab notebooks

The article this links to is interesting enough, but what's really interesting is some of the discussion about how people do, or think people should, approach keeping electronic lab notebooks.

I feel you can tell which are the comments from software developers who don't really appreciate the requirements; they are, understandably, the ones who focus on change histories and the like, without picking up on the fact that generally you don't ever want people going back and changing anything.

As someone who works with people who need to deal with this, it's an interesting read and follows a lot of my journey from ignorance on the subject to some appreciation of the issues.

Nice idea that I might have to try myself some time: index and analyse the outgoing links from blog posts to see what it is you link to the most.

Reminds me of a couple of such Usenet and mailing lists projects I was party to back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Great set of tracks on this one too.

Conscientious Software
Conscientious Software
Software needs to grow up and become responsible for itself and its own future by participating in its own installation and customization, maintaining its own health, and adapting itself to new circumstances, new users, and new uses. To create such software will require us to change some of our underlying assumptions about how we write programs. A promising approach seems to be to separate software that does the work (allopoietic) from software that keeps the system alive (autopoietic).

Interesting article about a newer image file format; well worth paying attention to from a web-development perspective.

Another linter of sorts for Python, with an emphasis on code style as defined in PEP 8. I tend to use pylint for linting but this seems to be in favour when using lsp-mode in Emacs.

Problems with Emacs on macOS
Problems with Emacs on macOS

A Twitter thread about issues with Emacs on macOS and how to work around or plain solve them.

Honestly, as someone who's 100% Emacs/macOS, I'd not really noticed any of these -- but I always run Emacs as a fullscreen application in its own desktop space.
