  "textContent": "These are some things I’ve wandered across on the web this week.\n\n##  🔖  Arke \n\nArke is a public knowledge network for storing, discovering, and connecting information.\n\nMaking content truly accessible is harder than it looks. Meaningful search requires vectors, embeddings, extraction pipelines—infrastructure most people can’t build. And even with that, files sitting on a website or in a folder don’t get found. You end up working alone, disconnected from related work that exists somewhere.\n\nArke handles all of it. Upload anything—we process it and connect it to a network where similar collections surface automatically. Your information becomes searchable, discoverable, and linked to work you didn’t know existed.\n\n##  🔖  Community Calendar \n\nPublic events are trapped in information silos. The library posts to their website, the YMCA uses Google Calendar, the theater uses Eventbrite, Meetup groups have their own pages. Anyone wanting to know “what’s happening this weekend?” must check a dozen different sites.\n\nExisting local aggregators typically expect event producers to “submit” events via a web form. This means producers must submit to several aggregators to reach their audience — tedious and error-prone. Worse, if event details change, producers must update each aggregator separately.\n\nThis project takes a different approach: event producers are the authoritative sources for their own events. They publish once to their own calendar, and individuals and aggregators pull from those sources. When details change, the change propagates automatically. This is how RSS transformed blogging, and iCalendar can do the same for events.\n\nThe gold standard is iCalendar (ICS) feeds — a format that machines can read, merge, and republish. If you’re an event producer and your platform can publish an ICS feed, that’s great. But ICS isn’t the only way. The real requirement is to embrace the open web. A clean HTML page with well-structured event data works. What doesn’t work: events locked in Facebook or behind login walls.\n\n##  🔖  Engineering Rigor in the LLM Age \n\nWhat do LLMs mean for the future of software engineering? Will vibe-coded AI slop be the norm? Will software engineers simply be less in-demand? Rain and David join Bryan and Adam to discuss how rigorous use of LLMs can make for much more robust systems.\n\n##  🔖  Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links \n\nThe English-language edition of Wikipedia is blacklisting Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog.\n\nIn the course of discussing whether Archive.today should be deprecated because of the DDoS, Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS. The alterations were apparently fueled by a grudge against the blogger over a post that described how the Archive.today maintainer hid their identity behind several aliases.\n\n“There is consensus to immediately deprecate archive.today, and, as soon as practicable, add it to the spam blacklist (or create an edit filter that blocks adding new links), and remove all links to it,” stated an update today on Wikipedia’s Archive.today discussion. “There is a strong consensus that Wikipedia should not direct its readers towards a website that hijacks users’ computers to run a DDoS attack (see WP:ELNO#3). Additionally, evidence has been presented that archive.today’s operators have altered the content of archived pages, rendering it unreliable.”\n\n##  🔖  Megalodon (website) \n\nMegalodon (Japanese: ウェブ魚拓, “web gyotaku”) is an on demand web citation service based in Japan.[3] It is owned by Affility.\n\nMegalodon’s server can be searched for “web gyotaku” or copies of web pages, by prefixing any URL with “gyo.tc”; the process checks the query against other services as well, including Google’s cached pages and Mementos.\n\n##  🔖  Exclusive: US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere \n\nWASHINGTON, Feb 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department is developing an online portal that will enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, a move Washington views as a way to counter censorship, three sources familiar with the plan said.\n\n##  🔖  How An Academic Library Built a Research Impact and Intelligence Team \n\nDuring recent decades, universities have faced increasing pressure to demonstrate their value and impact by contributing to real-world problem-solving and meeting broader societal needs. The reasons for this increased pressure are complex and numerous—reflecting socio-economic and socio-political considerations, globalization and intensifying competition, and growing demands for accountability and demonstrable public value. At Virginia Tech, our library’s research impact and intelligence team, of which we are all members, supports institutional strategy, researcher visibility, and decision-making in response to these demands. In this article, we’ll outline the emergence of research impact and research intelligence work in libraries, trace the development of our department, and illustrate how analytics, research information management, and consultation services are operationalized alongside ongoing efforts to promote responsible interpretation and use of research metrics.\n\n##  🔖  Annotorious \n\nAnnotorious is a JavaScript library for adding image annotation capabilities to your web application. Try it out below: click or tap the annotation to edit. Click or tap anywhere and drag to create a new annotation.\n\n##  🔖  Potomac Interceptor Collapse \n\nCollapse of 72” diameter section of pipe caused overflow of more than 200 million gallons of wastewater into Potomac River.\n\n##  🔖  Inside Claude Code With Its Creator Boris Cherny \n\nA very special guest on this episode of the Lightcone! Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code, sits down to share the incredible journey of developing one of the most transformative coding tools of the AI era.\n\n##  🔖  Current \n\nEvery RSS reader I’ve used presents your feeds as a list to be processed. Items arrive. They’re marked unread. Your job is to get that number to zero, or at least closer to zero than it was yesterday.\n\nCurrent has no unread count. Not because I forgot to add one, or because I thought it would look cleaner without it. There is no count because counting was the problem.\n\nThe main screen is a river. Not a river that moves on its own. You’re not watching content drift past like a screensaver. It’s a river in the sense that matters: content arrives, lingers for a time, and then fades away.\n\n##  🔖  Phantom Obligation \n\nEmail’s unread count means something specific: these are messages from real people who wrote to you and are, in some cases, actively waiting for your response. The number isn’t neutral information. It’s a measure of social debt.\n\nBut when we applied that same visual language to RSS (the unread counts, the bold text for new items, the sense of a backlog accumulating) we imported the anxiety without the cause.\n\n##  🔖  ways of working with the Wayback Machine - studio and book talk in Amsterdam \n\nLast week I gave a book talk on Public Data Cultures and co-organised a Wayback studio with the Internet Archive Europe.\n\nAs highlighted in the book talk announcement it was really nice to have this moment there given my longstanding collaborations with the Internet Archive - and to meet up with others connected to the archive and associated communities in Amsterdam\n\n##  🔖  Black Jesus \n\nBlack Jesus is an American live-action sitcom created by Aaron McGruder (creator of The Boondocks) and Mike Clattenburg (creator of Trailer Park Boys) that aired on Adult Swim. The series stars Gerald “Slink” Johnson, Charlie Murphy, Corey Holcomb, Kali Hawk, King Bach, Andra Fuller, and John Witherspoon. The series premiered on August 7, 2014. On December 10, 2014, the series was renewed for a second season,[2] which premiered on September 18, 2015.[3] Its third and final season premiered on September 21, 2019.[4]\n\n##  🔖  Oral History of John Backus \n\nInterviewed by Grady Booch on September 5, 2006, in Ashland, Oregon, X3715.2007\n\n© Computer History Museum\n\nJohn Backus led a team at IBM in 1957 that created the first successful high-level programming language, FORTRAN. It was designed to solve problems in science and engineering, and many dialects of the language are still in use throughout the world.\n\nDescribing the development of FORTRAN, Backus said, “We simply made up the language as we went along. We did not regard language design as a difficult problem, merely a simple prelude to the real problem: designing a compiler which could produce efficient programs . . . We also wanted to eliminate a lot of the bookkeeping and detailed, repetitive planning which hand coding involved.”\n\nThe name FORTRAN comes from FORmula TRANslation. The language was designed for solving engineering and scientific problems. FORTRAN IV was first introduced by IBM in the early 1960s and still exists in a number of similar dialects on machines from various manufacturers.\n\n##  🔖  FreeBSD Mastery: Advanced ZFS \n\nZFS improves everything about systems administration. Once you peek under the hood, though, ZFS’ bewildering array of knobs and tunables can overwhelm anyone. ZFS experts can make their servers zing—and now you can, too, with FreeBSD Mastery: Advanced ZFS.\n\n##  🔖  disko-zfs: Declaratively Managing ZFS Datasets \n\nGiven a situation where a ZFS pool has just too many datasets for you to comfortably manage, or perhaps you have a few datasets, but you just learned of a property that you really should have set from the start, what do you do? Well, I don’t know what you do, I would love to hear about that, so please do reach out to me, over Matrix preferably.\n\nIn any case, what I came up with is disko-zfs. A simple Rust program that will declaratively manage datasets on a zpool. It does this based on a JSON specification, which lists the datasets, their properties and a few pieces of extra information.\n\n##  🔖  Level of Detail \n\nMy hunch is that we’ll spend just as much time and energy carving code back as we will generating it. If generating code is nearly free, then the cost shifts entirely to understanding, maintaining, and pruning it. And sometimes the right move isn’t a better level of detail. It’s fewer polygons in the scene altogether. Delete the sprawling implementation and replace it with something you can actually reason about\n\n##  🔖  I Sold Out for $20 a Month and All I Got Was This Perfectly Generated Terraform \n\nSo now I’m paying $20 a month to a company that scraped the collective knowledge of humanity without asking so that I can avoid writing Kubernetes YAML. I know what that makes me. I just haven’t figured out a word for it yet that I can live with.\n\n##  🔖  Poor Deming never stood a chance \n\nThe two management giants of the mid-twentieth century were Peter Drucker and W. Edwards Deming. Ironically, while Drucker hails from Austria-Hungary (like me, Drucker emigrated to the U.S. as an adult) and Deming was born in the U.S., it was Drucker that proved to be more influential in America. Deming’s influence was much greater in Japan than it ever was the U.S. If you’ve ever been at an organization that uses OKRs, then you have worked in the shadow of Drucker’s legacy. While you can tell a story about how Deming influenced Toyota, and Toyota inspired the lean movement, I would still describe management in the U.S. as Deming in exile. Deming explicitly stated that management by objectives isn’t leadership, and I think you’d be hard-pressed to find managers in American companies who would agree with that sentiment.\n\n##  🔖  Emily St. John Mandel \n\nEmily St. John Mandel (/seɪntˈdʒɒn mænˈdɛl/;[2][3] née Fairbanks;[4] born 1979) is a Canadian novelist and essayist.[5][6] She has written six novels, including Station Eleven (2014), The Glass Hotel (2020), and Sea of Tranquility (2022). Station Eleven, which has been translated into 33 languages,[7] has been adapted into a limited series on HBO Max.[8] The Glass Hotel was translated into twenty languages and was selected by Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of 2020.[9][10] Sea of Tranquility was published in April 2022 and debuted at number three on The New York Times Best Seller list.[11]\n\n##  🔖  Deb Olin Unferth \n\nDeb Olin Unferth (born November 19, 1968) is an American author. She has published two novels, two books of short stories, a memoir, and a graphic novel. Her fiction and essays have appeared in over fifty magazines and journals, including Harper’s,[1] The New York Times,[2] The Paris Review[3] The Believer,[4] McSweeney’s, Granta[5] The Guardian,[6] and NOON. She was a finalist for the National Book Critics’ Circle Award,[7] and she has received a Guggenheim fellowship,[8] four Pushcart Prizes, a Creative Capital Fellowship for Innovative Literature,[9] and residency fellowships from the MacDowell[10] and Yaddo[11] Foundations.\n\n##  🔖  Citational Politics and Justice: Introduction \n\nThis introduction provides an overview of the thirteen articles which constitute this special issue about “citational politics and justice.” The issue begins with a discussion paper, followed by six research articles, one commentary, one project report, one teaching reflection, and finishes with three conversations. Authors reflect on the history and future of citation practices, and what they mean for the recognition of marginalised scholars, knowledges, and forms of output. The range of contributions offers insights into how more just scholarly practices can be promoted in teaching, research, publishing, and collaboration with academic and societal partners. Together, these articles provide ideas for achieving greater citational justice, and ultimately improving the quality of knowledge.\n\n##  🔖  Concatenative language \n\nThere are many ways to categorize programming languages; one is to define them as either “concatenative” or “applicative”. In an applicative language, things are evaluated by applying functions to arguments. This includes almost all programming languages in wide use, such as C, Python, ML, Haskell, and Java. In a concatenative programming language, things are evaluated by composing several functions which all operate on a single piece of data, passed from function to function. This piece of data is usually in the form of a stack. Additionally, in concatenative languages, this function composition is indicated by concatenating programs. Examples of concatenative languages include Forth, Joy, PostScript, Cat, and Factor.\n\n##  🔖  Parents are opting kids out of school laptops, returning them to pen and paper \n\nParents are forming a loose network teaching one another how to get their children off school-issued Chromebooks and iPads.\n\n##  🔖  News publishers limit Internet Archive access due to AI scraping concerns \n\nWhen The Guardian took a look at who was trying to extract its content, access logs revealed that the Internet Archive was a frequent crawler, said Robert Hahn, head of business affairs and licensing. The publisher decided to limit the Internet Archive’s access to published articles, minimizing the chance that AI companies might scrape its content via the nonprofit’s repository of over one trillion webpage snapshots.\n\n##  🔖  Gwtar: a static efficient single-file HTML format \n\nGwtar is a new polyglot HTML archival format which provides a single, self-contained, HTML file which still can be efficiently lazy-loaded by a web browser. This is done by a header’s JavaScript making HTTP range requests. It is used on Gwern.net to serve large HTML archives.\n\n##  🔖  What technology takes from us – and how to take it back \n\nResisting the annexation of our hearts and minds by Silicon Valley requires us not just to set boundaries on our engagement with what they offer, but to cherish the alternatives. Joy in ordinary things, in each other, in embodied life, and the language with which to value it, is essential to this resistance, which is resistance to dehumanisation.\n\n##  🔖  Inside Japan’s Most Influential Architect’s Working Studio \n\nJoin us for a quiet look inside the workspace of Tadao Ando, offering a brief glimpse into his architectural process.\n\nThis studio visit documents the daily rhythms of work and the careful, repetitive making of architectural scale models that sit at the center of his practice. The focus is not on finished buildings, but on process. Time spent refining ideas. Returning to the same forms again and again. Letting work unfold slowly.\n\nPhotographed in a restrained, observational way, this project uses still imagery to pay close attention to space, light, and atmosphere. The photographs are not illustrative, but quietly descriptive, allowing the studio to reveal itself as it is.\n\nIt is a small window into how creative work happens inside a working architecture studio, and an invitation to slow down and observe the act of making.\n\n##  🔖  Ambient Videos \n\nPhotographer Noah Kalina has put together some long form videos that are meant to be put on a screen and left on.",
