  • 🔗 Image Stacks and iPhone Racks - Building an Internet Scale Meme Search Engine

    Anyone who’s spent any amount of time on the Internet has a good idea of
    how prevalent meme usage has become in online discourse. Finding new
    memes on the latest happening and sharing them with various friend
    groups to share in the humor is a long-enjoyed
    I’ve been thinking how cool it would be to be able to do something like this — using old iOS devices as servers, especially for the AI/Vision stuff it excels at.
  • 🔗 Breaking Down Tasks - Jacob Kaplan-Moss

    Something missing from this series on estimation, until now, has been a discussion of how to “break down” a project into a well-defined task list. I’d not previously written about this because, to me, it’s largely intuitive. But it isn’t for everyone, so this post fills the gap, and explains in detail how I break down projects into a task list.
    Being able to "pattern match" from experience is a real cheat code. That these skills require time and experience is one of the major reasons why we encourage feature leading early on – exercise the planning muscle and build that intuition.
  • 🔗 An Interactive Guide to CSS Grid

    CSS Grid is an incredibly powerful tool for building layouts on the web, but like all powerful tools, there's a significant learning curve. In this tutorial, we'll build a mental model for how CSS Grid works and how we can use it effectively. I'll share the biggest 💡 lightbulb moments I've had in my own learning journey.

    Codeberg is founded as a Non-Profit Organization, with the objective to give the Open-Source code that is running our world a safe and friendly home, and to ensure that free code remains free and secure forever.
    I haven't used Codeberg (a GitHub alternative), but their copy on front page strikes me.
    No tracking. Your data is not for sale.
    All services run on servers under our control. No dependencies on external services. No third party cookies, no tracking.
    Hosted in the EU, we welcome the world.
    
    Using external services for every last thing, you end up with your data being spread out amongst multiple (unknown to you) vendors, each with different security-implications / privacy policies / regulations all across the world. It makes your service more brittle (increased points of failure) and less secure (increased attack vectors). Seeing a service make this central to their product is refreshing.
    Focusing on privacy and hosting in non-US owned/operated datacenters in the EU will be a competitive advantage when going up against the US tech companies in the future, if it isn't already.
