“The Only Widely Recognized JavaScript Feature Ever Deprecated,” n.d. https://www.trevorlasn.com/blog/the-only-javascript-feature-that-was-deprecated

Interesting article about "with" deprecation in JavaScript. I was not aware that such a feature existed, and clearly it’s useless.

“Clarity Hacks Tighten up Yer Txt,” n.d. https://gilest.org/clarity-hacks.html

10 easy ways to #write your text clearer.
I really liked the:
- if your #sentence has two commas it’s probably too long
- rewrite your first draft with one rule: no significant #words from the first draft are allowed in the second draft
Cool stuff!

“Richard Dawkins and Richard Dawkins AI Answer Questions about the Future!,” n.d. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5GT4whJS4c98OSSVfNVepd?si=JMsd0ajARSOQcCSWurD7oQ

Richard #Dawkins answering a bunch of questions about the future.
I really liked the questions about #embriology and the future of human enhancements via artificial neuron receptors.
The good remark about the whole embryology is the race between countries to bring it as far as possible. Sad, but it’s what’s happening to everything. Humanity doomed. What a time to be alive!

“Let’s Write A Reverb,” n.d. https://signalsmith-audio.co.uk/writing/2021/lets-write-a-reverb/

Fantastic blog post on how "#reverb" in sound works. If you never heard of it and have some interest in how to build one, this blog post will help you do it.
The number of examples and animations on how reverb behaves for different setups is just insane!

“Painting Calm Water …​from a Chaotic Roadside,” n.d. https://jamesgurney.substack.com/p/painting-calm-water

Interesting blog post on how to #paint water with #watercolor
