Sto cercando blog italiani da seguire, non importa che siano tecnici, vanno benissimo tutti.

Scrivete su un blog?
State pensando di farlo? Fatelo!

E scrivetemi qui sotto l’indirizzo del vostro sito web.

Grazie!

ML can model the smooth parts of progress, but it never sees the discontinuities.

In my latest essay, I use MediEvil speedrun history to show why machine learning forecasts fail when real–world innovations disrupt the pattern. Smooth curves hide chaos.

Which Part of the Indie Web Ethos is the Bigger Priority?
The tension between getting people off of the corporate web, and the fact that a lot of people can't afford the time and money to host their own online presence.

Sorry for going a bit quiet lately. I’ve been properly buried in building a brand new theme for my website, plus a bunch of behind the scenes improvements to make it faster, cleaner, and easier to use: https://beitmenotyou.online

Thanks for your patience while I’ve been in the creative cave. I’ll be sharing the results soon, and I cannot wait to show you what’s coming.

What’s one thing you wish more websites did better, speed, readability, navigation, or something else?

We talk a lot about the sustainability of open source. We rarely talk about the geography of it 🌍

I’ve had three separate messages this week from users trying to support my work on BuyMeACoffee, only to have the transactions fail. The reality of being in India right now is that while my code pushes to global repos, our payment gateways are stuck behind some very heavy archaic regulatory friction.

Stripe is effectively out.
I refuse to believe there isn't a clean solution. Looking for a gateway that actually works today.

🙏If you are a FOSS maintainer outside the US/EU bubble, how are you bypassing the friction?

I’m looking for a reliable, low-friction way to handle one-time and monthly support. The current system is punishing users who just want to say "thanks." 😔

We rarely talk about the geography of it \ud83c\udf0d\n\nI\u2019ve had three separate messages this week from users trying to support my work on BuyMeACoffee, only to have the transactions fail. The reality of being in India right now is that while my code pushes to global repos, our payment gateways are stuck behind some very heavy archaic regulatory friction. \n\nStripe is effectively out.\nI refuse to believe there isn't a clean solution. Looking for a gateway that actually works today.\n\n\ud83d\ude4fIf you are a FOSS maintainer outside the US/EU bubble, how are you bypassing the friction? \n\nI\u2019m looking for a reliable, low-friction way to handle one-time and monthly support.
