Building a constellation effect for the web with HTML Canvas

I’ve got a web-based game which I’ll be introducing in more detail in Connect.tech next month. When you open the game in your browser, there’s a splashscreen which appears. There’s a bit of stuff that needs to load in the background, as well as authorizing the current user and pulling…

TypeScript, Turbo, and Digital Anarchism

I want to provide some longer thoughts on the hasty decision by DHH to replace their TypeScript library Turbo with JavaScript. I think it’s a bad decision. But why is it a bad decision? Have I just become a crank who is settled in his own ways? …

When I have some free time on the weekends, I’ll try to pull an article I’ve saved in Instapaper and read it. While Feedly is great for publications I read regularly, I do want to read a lot of articles that shared on social media. But when do I have…

How the Microwave Economy saved my life, and yours

After reading an essay entitled The Microwave Economy by David Perell, I thought about leaving a comment expressing my opinion. But then the comment was going to get too long and I decided to write a more formal rebuttal of the author’s points. In this essay, the author bemoan’s the…

Why Density Matters

A couple months ago, a new website launched that I found quite interesting. I finally found a bit of time to go through it. The site, now called UrbanStats, provides a variety of density-related data and more including education, income, election-related data, and more. I thought it’d be fun…

Building a Truly Random Number Generator with Memristors and Gem5

In my previous post, I felt quite blocked by some limitations I encountered with simulating memristors in Gem5. I wasn’t able to find a real benefit to using memristors, at least in the way that I wanted and the way that Gem5 works. Yet I still have research to do…

How the digital third space became the tragedy of the commons

Reddit is falling apart. Recent changes to their APIs are making it nearly impossible to support third-party alternatives to the Reddit app and as a result those alternatives are shutting down. This led to a large backlash: a temporary blackout and a lot of digital protesting. Why are these changes…
