Scripting News: Thursday, October 31, 2024

Thursday, October 31, 2024 I did the first demo of my new editor to a couple of developers I'm working with on our ActivityPub project, something I'm ever-more-excited about. Happy to say the demo was a success. They appeared to love the product, and for the right reasons. It makes WordPress into a fantastic writer's platform. This is what I love to do more than anything. People think I'm most interested in protocols and formats, but that's just part of it, and not the main part. I love making writing tools. I got interested in that in the late 70s working on editors for programming languages, then ran a company that made the same kind of editor, outliners, for writers, and then with Frontier went back to programmers. Now I'm trying something new. I want to create a whole category of editors. Editors where none existed before but should be there. The web. Instead what we have in 2024 is a lot of tiny little text boxes that hoard your writing maki...

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 YouTube TV when it starts up, the station it automatically opens is Fox News.

Read this on my blog Hey all! Tomorrow is the final session for the Advanced Frontend Testing workshop. This means all of the exercises are done, and my next steps are to take the material, polish it, and turn it into a course. That will take a while — so in the meantime, I'm thinking of offering a condensed single-day version of the workshop. I'll want to do this in the last week of November or first week of December. If you're interested in attending this, reply and let me know which day of the week works best for you. Thursday or Friday? Or maybe you prefer Wednesday to break up your week? That will help me in picking the date! More details on what topics we might cover are here . Have a fantastic week. — Michael 🔥 Creating an If...Else Component Ever thought about making an If...Else component in Vue, despite having v-if , v-else , and v-else-if ? Here's a quirky experiment that explores this idea: < If :val = "mainCondi...

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 "When your house is on fire there aren't two sides." A few people misunderstood. In this analogy there are no arsonists. There is the house and there is fire. If you were reporting on this situation, you don't need to find out what motivates the fire, the only important thing is that if not checked it will destroy the house. # Bezos blinked # My op-ed for the Washington Post, if there was such a thing.. # I didn't imagine that Bezos cared what subscribers to the Washington Post thought about his decision to cancel their endorsement of VP Harris in the election one week from today. # But 200K people unsubscribed , and I guess that message got through to him, so he wrote an op-ed that ran in the Post yesterday, explaining that this was a principled thing. # If it was really a matter of principle, they wouldn't have chosen this election, and one where his own personal interest was so involved. ...

Monday, October 28, 2024 I started to read Ben Thompson's email newsletter Stratechery this morning , it was about Trump on Joe Rogan's podcast, which I didn't want to listen to, because I am overdosing on Trump, again. I was surprised to see it begins with the story of podcasting, which has my name in it, which was gratifying. A lot of people will read that. I'm including a screen shot of the beginning because his newsletter is not something you can read without a subscription. # The people who are alive right now are the first to create knowledge that we know in advance will be part of LLM databases. So far we've heard from the resisters, the ones who don't want any part of this. But what about people who want to create knowledge in the maximally useful form? Are there any howto's for this? A busy writer's guide to creating human knowledge? # Linkblog items for the day. Jeff Bezos: Americans don't trust the news m...
