Designing for the Developers. After working in various Helsinki tech companies, Jori Lallo and Kaari Saarinen moved to San Francisco. There, they launched the collaborative (social) bookmarking system Kippt as part of Y Combinator’s Summer 2012 batch. Lallo sees Kippt as a precursor to Linear.app in that it was a practical tool with a small but passionate user base. Kippt was acquired by the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, and both of them joined that company in 2014, Saarinen as head of design and Lallo as a software engineer. Tuomas Artman moved to San Francisco by 2012, working at Groupon in engineering management. (more)

Konrad Hinsen: Deconstructing the Mastodon client. Ever since I joined Twitter in 2011, and then moved to Mastodon in 2022, I have been unhappy with the timeline view proposed by both of these communication platforms as their main interface. Now I have finally done something about it: I wrote my own Mastodon client. Or perhaps rather a non-client, because the concept of "the client" is a big part of what I disliked. (more)

A hyperstition is a self-fulfilling idea that becomes real through its own existence.[1] The price of Bitcoin,[2] Roko's Basilisk,[3] accelerationism,[4] and the QAnon conspiracy theory[5] have all been described as hyperstitions. Self-fulfilling prophecies are a kind of hyperstition where predictions are made about the future that become true by being known.[6] The concept was coined by Nick Land in 1995 as a portmanteau of hyper- and superstition,[7] during his time at the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) developing the philosophy of accelerationism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperstition

MKUltra[a] was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in altering human behavior.[1] The term MKUltra is a CIA cryptonym: "MK" is an arbitrary prefix standing for the Office of Technical Service and "Ultra" is an arbitrary word out of a dictionary used to name this project. The program has been widely condemned as a violation of individual rights and an example of the CIA's abuse of power, with critics highlighting its disregard for consent and its corrosive impact on democratic principles.[2] Project MKUltra began in 1953 and was halted in 1973. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra (more)

Ian Bicking: THE vs. Emacs. About two years ago I gave THE (The Humane Editor) a try. Since Raskin is back in the news and presumably going to continue work on THE, I thought I'd repost my thoughts (originally left in the forum -- they didn't have a mailing list back then). I actually want to write more about THE and some of the ideas, but I'll start here. Mostly I was just comparing it to Emacs (my primary editor) (more)
