Wednesday, March 12, 2025 Today's song: Starting Over . # Highly recommend this week's New Yorker Radio Hour interview with Stephen Kotkin of Stanford. He's an expert on Russian history, biographer of Stalin, he talks about what Trump is doing, and as I listened I realized we have not filled in how crazy or challenged the leaders of the other huge powers are. Trump apparently is not an outlier. Putin can't keep the war going in Europe indefinitely, their banking system is running on fumes and the people are tired of war (unlike in the US they feel their wars). There's tremendous corruption in the Chinese military, so Xi isn't rushing to try to take over Taiwan. It's easier and safer to just keep threatening. In the US we're shocked by what we've become, so quickly, we're failing to see the context. Kotkin also offers a perspective on the new media, relative to when TV and radio were new, and all the chaos the US has survived. H...

🔥 (#208) Context-aware components, dynamic slot names, and more

Read this on my blog Heyo! Today Vue Amsterdam is starting, so I'm going to avoid social media to prevent excess FOMO (let's be real, I won't actually avoid social media). Also, less than two weeks until the new version of Mastering Nuxt is launched! This will be an early access while I finish recording the lessons. I don't want to rush things so I can make sure the lessons are as useful and clear as they can possibly be. I hope you enjoy these tips and enjoy your week, — Michael 🔥 Creating Magic with Context-Aware Components Context-aware components are "magical" — they adapt to what's going on around them automatically, handling edge cases, state sharing, and more. There are 3 main types of context-aware components, but configuration is the one I find most interesting. 1. State Sharing When you break up a large component into smaller ones, they often still need to share state. Instead of pushing...

Tuesday, March 11, 2025 Bluesky is not billionaire-proof # First I want to say that Bluesky is nice software, good design, attractive, they have a goal and stick to it, and it stays up, no fail whales that were so vexing of early days Twitter. # That said, I have two criticisms: # They are implementing the same limits that Twitter designed into their product, no styling, no links, you can't edit, no titles, enclosures, and a limit of 300 chars per post. Simple stuff that, if they broke through the Twitter design, would make it a decent platform for writers. I don't see any reason to duplicate the mistakes that Twitter made, in 2006, in the design of their product. # They repeatedly claim to be billionaire-proof but as far as I can tell, and I have built software on their APIs, they are not. Yet they tell users they are safe, and what choice do the users have but to believe them, esp when tech journalism repeats the claims without ch...

Scripting News: Monday, March 10, 2025

Monday, March 10, 2025 BTW it's worth calling attention to a bit I linked to yesterday. Cross-posting to Bluesky and Mastodon is not on the roadmap for WordLand. They are too limited in the features they support for writers. This is a big point, not a casual thing. I am trying to create a network that's like stereo to mono. We're not going to try to scale down writing in WordLand so it fits into the tight little featureless well-silo'd boxes in order to peer with those systems. Instead, I want to force them to give writers a decent surface to write on. Somehow we lost our minds and decided deliberately to limit communication to grunts and snorts, and it should not be a surprise that when our civilization migrated to them, it became unable to understand complex ideas. I guarantee you Carl Sagan, if he were alive, would have seen this. Or maybe not? I don't know. But it's a bizarre situation that I've decided to try to fix. # A hard lesson ...
