Bret Victor's #UI work is never less than thought-provoking, but this is wild. Dynamicland is a computing environment designed to be communal, collaborative and in-person, where the programs are in a multitude of domain specific languages (sometimes just symbols) on pieces of physical media (mostly paper).

I like this, it mirrors my practice. I don’t think this is shared widely, based both on tests I’ve seen in the wild, and the fact that I had to work it out for myself the hard way.

One nuance I’d like to add is: every bit of output data you assert about should be derived from something in your test setup. This is about legibility and comprehension. “X in -> Y out, because of Z”. When you use hidden values, all you see in the test is “Y out, because Z”

50/50 on sharing this article, as it’s 50% sense and 50% nonsense. It’s correct that the brain is not a computer and the metaphor misleads. It’s incorrect that the brain does not store information. It uses “better prepared [to reproduce X]” as a Sophist way of saying “stores degraded information about X”. It is also incorrect that brains don’t use algorithms. The baseball example is clearly an algorithm, just one that’s hard for computers.

Stumbled across something interesting, but I doubt I have the reach to test how widespread this is.

Here goes nothing, anyway:

What is the maximum number of simultaneous (i.e established) HTTP connections a server can support, and why?

I’ll post my reason for asking if I get any replies 😉

This paper explains how #Groq works. Like the boost indicated, the particularly fascinating bit is how network messaging is scheduled, not routed: with network of nodes known at compile-time, all time-synchronised and performing deterministic work, you can work out at which time slot each node will be free to receive the next message, so you can just fire and forget without having to worry about backpressure.

Re: that last boost, my answer would’ve been “verify” too. If their email gets compromised, you potentially keep the bad actor out of your system, and also limit the splash damage.

Then you’ve got the problem of password recovery via email, so ideally you’d verify with a memorable word or recovery code instead…

I just looked at an post that showed up in my RSS feed.The post was making a simple argument that I agree with. If the argument had been summed up in the title (and it could have been), I wouldn’t have bothered to read it.

However, I did read it, because the title was click bait. But there was no reason for it to be. There were no adverts, no product promotion that I noticed. No-one got any benefit from that interaction.

But this is how content farms have conditioned us to write.

I absolutely respect and admire what #HTMX is trying to do, but I can’t help feeling like #Hotwire / #Turbo is the better solution and if it wasn’t for the association with DHH it’d have more traction.

How do you hire someone who has to be the oil in the gears of Development, who has to persuade the whole organisation into working in the smoothest way possible, without actually having any authority?

A good place to start would be this post by @hazelweakly, "So So You Want to Hire for Developer Tooling".
