dym_shon JSON for Linking Data

well, i would like a couple of links if that's not too much to ask

dym_shon JSON for Linking Data

same reason wikis arent, it takes too much effort to maintain and keep it semantic instead of copypasted pile of text

honestly, if github and HN suffice for all your social needs, you probably dont need anything else.

microblogging is not for everyone. but for others, since twitter is just no longer viable, people have been migrating to something that can't be just bought out by yet another rich asshole. plus privacy, extended control over your own data, and all that other nerd shit no one cares about.

dym_shon How to Lose Functional Programming at Work

well, embedded pdf on iOS looks like a single image of the first page with no ability to scroll or interact in any way, not even select text.
