20 random bookmarks

I save whatever here. for purposes of alphabetical ordering, many tags are in thing-topic order instead of topic-thing order. for ex. instead of "hosting software", the tag would be "software hosting", which should be read "software of the hosting variety"

web.archive.org/web/20050901161245/http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tenshi/Killer_000.htm

God, how I would have loved this book in seventh grade! It’s almost as good as having a nuclear device.

good essay. I realize now I think I internalized this book's morality some when I was younger. not for the best probably

Because why not?

I'll have to try this. I've been thinking about how strong the infrastructure to extract value from "makers" is. this is such a low-tech solution to a problem, when I had been thinking about vinyl cutters and expensive printing and a whole bunch of other Ways To Give Someone Else My Money.

A 2025 Survey of Rust GUI Libraries

www.boringcactus.com/2025/04/13/2025-survey-of-rust-gui-libraries.html

Saving for the quote, cause it sums it up pretty well:
