A fun 16-minute video from PortalRunner with this premise: This is an image file, containing a picture of my cat. But if I rename it to .MP4, it becomes a video file – also of my cat. If rename to .PDF, it becomes a text document containing the script for this video. It can also be a valid webpage, a .ZIP archive,...
Just finished ā€œThe Phoenix Projectā€ and the idea that stuck with me is Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints. Every system has one bottleneck, and any improvement made anywhere else is a mirage. Find your constraint, protect it, and stop congratulating yourself for optimizing things that were never the problem. Once you...
I have been mildly unsuccessful at doing stuff in my free time this week due to personal and family concerns that somewhat limited my ability to sit in my office, so it was only sometime around Thursday evening that I realized John Dvorak passed away.

Link: Fed up with Big Tech, communities turn to data collectives for control, by Rina Chandran at Rest of WorldIt’s interesting to contrast the current moment to the ā€œinformation wants to be freeā€ era of Web 2.0, twenty or so years ago. Back then, everyone was talking about open APIs and open data. Now, it’s become...
Look up the owner, not the name. The name is the cheapest part of the company to preserve. If the ownership trail ends at a private equity firm or a licensing group, assume the product and the reputation are no longer aligned. This is a good one, because in the kitchen you should have stuff that lasts basically a...
