Every Web Browser Absolutely Sucks.
The title explains it all, you don’t even have to read.
There are no good, even passable web browsers. None. Not a single one even comes close.
The weird thing is this: making a good browser should be easy! Among the existing web browsers, you could assemble all the parts necessary for a passable (if not perfect) browser. No one has ever bothered to do this, instead, people assembled 90% good stuff and 10% junk.

Peter Saint-Andre: Meditations on Bach #6: Further Instrumental Considerations
Although the first five of Bach’s suites for unaccompanied cello lie quite naturally on the bass (when tuned in fifths, that is!), the sixth suite in D major (BWV 1012) is a slightly different story because it was originally written for an instrument with five strings, not four. The exact identity of this instrument remains a mystery - some think it was written for a viola de spalla, others for a violoncello piccolo. Whatever the truth of the matter, p … ⌘ Read more
Bringing back old-school web pins and buttons
Back in the not-quite-as-bad-old-days (at least as far back as the 90’s), every good website had a small “ad” gif that fans of the site could use as a colorful link. These are called “buttons” or sometimes “pins.”
You can see sites that collect these internet artifacts (both the good ones and boring ones) here and here.

Reflection in golang
Reflection in Go is a form of metaprogramming. Reflection allows us to examine types at runtime. It also provides the ability to examine, modify, and create variables, functions, and structs at runtime. The Go reflect package gives you features to inspect and manipulate an object at runtime. Reflection is an extremely powerful tool for developers and extends the horizon of any programming language. Types, Kinds and Values are three important pieces of reflec … ⌘ Read more

Important: LindyPress undergoing some updates
Although I haven’t announced in a video on the YouTube channel yet, I’m glad that there’s been a lot of interest in LindyPress.net. I haven’t done a video on it just because there are some details in the site coding we’re still figuring out, but books are already printing, shipping and arriving at some of your houses.
Just a couple technical notes:
