A great follow-up to last week’s link to “How Millenials became the Burnout Generation”.
“Everyone has what I consider a creative battery. When it is fully charged it provides motivation, fuels our passion, and drives us forward. … It ebbs and flows like any other battery, we put energy in through our successes and call on its reserves when we face challenges. “
“Some notes on Millennial burnout. This started as a Twitter thread because I needed a frictionless place to write my initial ideas, and apparently I was hoping they would get some attention. (They didn’t, really, and that’s fine now that I’ve slept on it.)”
“This, in a nutshell, is DuckDuckGo’s proposition: ‘The big tech companies are taking advantage of you by selling your data. We won’t.’ In effect, it’s an anti-sales sales pitch. DuckDuckGo is perhaps the most prominent in a number of small but rapidly growing firms attempting to make it big — or at least sustainable — by putting their customers’ privacy and security first.”
“The state of personalized recommendations is surprisingly terrible. At this point, the top recommendation is always a clickbait rage-creating article about movie stars or whatever Trump did or didn’t do in the last 6 hours. Or if not an article, then a video or documentary. That’s not what I want to read or to watch, but I sometimes get sucked in anyway, and then it’s recommendation apocalypse time, because the algorithm now thinks I like reading about Trump, and now everything is Trump. Never give positive feedback to an AI.”
Every service I use which has moved to “personalised recommendations/discovery” using some ML algorithm has gotten worse by doing so.
Every. Single. One.
“A project-based course that teaches Kubernetes in a hands-on way. – groovemonkey/project-based-kubernetes”
I can’t believe I only just found this. As good an introduction to the IndieWeb as any. Also worth a read is the newer reply in a discussion about what the IndieWeb is, which led me to find it.
“Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration system. It allows you to create, update, and scale containers without worrying about downtime. In this tutorial, you will deploy a PHP 7 application on a Kubernetes cluster with Nginx and PHP-FPM ru”
“Kubernetes is a container orchestration system that manages containers at scale. In this guide, you will set up a Kubernetes cluster from scratch with Kubeadm and deploy containerized applications on it.”
“Kubernetes is a container management system meant to be deployed on Docker-capable clustered environments. In this guide, we will discuss some of the basic concepts that Kubernetes introduces. We will discuss some of the design decisions and what make”
Kubernetes is one of those things I really wish I knew more about/had the time to learn sooner, rather than later.
“Bodoni* is the first ever no-compromises Bodoni family, built for the digital age. Years in the making, this font family includes a whopping 56 font files, ensuring you will have the perfect Bodoni for every situation.”
“Learn how to build blocks and extend the editor, best practices for designing block interfaces, and how to create themes that make the most of the new features Gutenberg provides.”
“I owe much of my career to View Source. It’s what got me started with web development in the first place. Going to sites that I liked, learning how they did what they did. Yes, I also bought a bunch of animal books from O’Reilly, and I read WIRED’s Webmonkey, and the web was full of tutorials even then. But it’s not the same. Seeing how something real is built puts the individual pieces of the puzzle together in a way that sample code or abstract lessons just don’t.”
I love View Source. I still use it daily. I’m not a person who builds sites in JavaScript – that’s never really been my thing. I love to craft in HTML. I get annoyed when I can’t alter or overwrite the output HTML of a WordPress function or plugin, and have been known to reimplement it myself if necessary.
Right now, K is a lot messier under the hood than I’d like. Once things are a bit more defined I intend to go back and clean it up so the output source is as readable as possible (proper and consistent indenting and the like), and the structure is better from a POSH point of view.
