I hope that the palace Bezos bought is comfortable, but I also hope it’s full of angry ghosts.
Has The Verge suddenly turned anti-capitalist?

🎸 Today TORRES released her forth album, Silver Tongue.
I just wanted to point out to you that the scientist interviewed in this article about the effect of planting 1 trillion trees is called Forrest.
There were two main reasons while I wanted to switch from Gatsby to Eleventy:
1) Gatsby loads React on page load, which makes the initial page load time super slow
2) I work with React all day at work and I wanted to work with something different in my free time.
Yesterday I switched my website from Gatsby to Eleventy and I am super with the results. Page load should be a lot faster now.
I just found a fix for the most annoying Apple Music bug so far. When I wanted to listen to an Intelligent Playlist in iTunes it would tell me to log into Apple Music, but I could listen to albums when I played them from “Recently Added”. In the “For You” section I am also logged in. Turns out I needed to log into iTunes Match (for whatever reason).
The first book I read in 2020 was Das Flüssige Land by Raphaela Edelbauer. An absurd take on the Heimatroman, it deals with how Austria suppresses its Nazi past.
📝 In 2019 I missed by 52 books goal, but I managed to read 36. Let’s see if I can do better in 2020.
🎸 You can listen to all 15 of my favourite albums of 2019 in this Apple Music playlist:
📝 On my blog I have collected my favourite albums of the year:
Today we released cocur/slugify v4.0.0. This release includes support for PHP 7.3 and 7.4, Symfony 4 and 5 and Twig 3.
For some reason they dumped a bunch of snow in the center of Vienna
There is one alternative to social media sites and publishing platforms that has been around since the early, innocent days of the web. It is an alternative that provides immense freedom and control: The personal website.
📝 I posted a Recap of Webclerks Community Conference 2019 on my blog
I just found this picture I took a couple of weeks ago at Burgring and I miss the sunny part of autumn.
What the Web Still Is by Eric Bailey:
Being a pessimist is an easy thing to fall back on, and I’m trying to be better about it. As we close the year out, I thought it would be a good exercise to take stock of the state of the web and count our blessings.
I thought I write a short recap from Webclerks and then two hours passed and I am at over 1300 words. Now I need to go to bed and proof-read and publish this later this week.
Great article by James Scott on How to write a kickass README
After Charlie Owens talk at Webclerks yesterday about the “good old days” I remembered how we did Ajax before XMLHttpRequest:
In the late 90s or very early 20s I had multiple select boxes and the options in the second select depended on the selection in the first select. When the user changed the option in the first select box, we would load an iframe which rendered the second select box and copy it with JavaScript from the iframe to the parent. The JavaScript that did the copying was of course an inline script inside the iframe.
That’s what I call a hack.
I am so excited about Nova, the new code editor from Panic. The previews look extremely promising that it can compete with VS Code on features and is a native Mac OS app.
What is going on with Apple? I can see two female nipples in Apple Music today.
I want to buy a hair cutter and since this is a product for men the product images naturally show it on a workbench.
Shit, I really like 1Password
Lucy Dacus released an EP with original songs and covers for 7 holidays.
