This is neat: a streaming data transfer format that supports things like Promises, Dates, etc.

title: Track your Readwise stats and recover missed reviews
link: https://readwise.io/changelog/stats
---
Readwise's streak-recovery feature is such an awesome solution to [the downsides of streaks](https://innerhelm.com/posts/persistence/#the-pitfalls-of-consistency).

I'm reminded of a quote from James Clear's _Atomic Habits_:

> Missing once is a mistake. Missing twice is the start of a new habit.
Being able to recover a streak seems like a good way to disincentivize "missing twice."

Some good stuff here, such as point #4:

> ## Google is dumber than you think
>
> [Y]ou only need to know two things:
> 1. **Google isn’t good at understanding content.** When Google crawls your website, it’s creating a summary of what it’s about based on keywords, metadata, and links. But it doesn’t read and evaluate how good it is like a human.
> 2. **Google learns what’s good by observing its users.** If you click on a result and then go straight back to Google, it was a bad result, and vice versa. Google uses this data to fine tune results so the results people like appears *[sic]* at the top.

This seems interesting. Although, ever since building [Logwise](https://logwise.tylermercer.net), indie database projects that claim to make offline-first "easy" make me very suspicious—making such a claim probably means there's some difficult part of decentralized state management that they're overlooking.

title: GitHub - mdq

A neat `jq`-like CLI tool for querying Markdown files. Seems like it'd be useful with Obsidian. It'd be neat if Obsidian incorporated mdq's query syntax into the in-app search.

title: It's still worth blogging in the age of AI
link: https://www.gilesthomas.com/2025/02/blogging-in-the-age-of-ai
---
Some good thoughts on the value of blogging. I liked this bit:

> Your GitHub profile shows your contributions to open source and lets people know how well you can code. But your blog shows your contributions to knowledge, and shows how well you can think. That's valuable!
Another point I'd add is that blogging constitutes a decentralized, global conversation that can yield new connections---both between ideas and between people. As [David Perrell (used to?) put it](https://chriscoyier.net/2022/02/24/day-and-night-your-content-searches-the-world-for-people-and-opportunities/) in ["The Ultimate Guide to Writing Online"](https://perell.com/essay/the-ultimate-guide-to-writing-online/):

> Content builds on itself. It multiplies and compounds. Day and night, your content searches the world for people and opportunities.

title: JS-less Flappy Bird

This is bonkers—it uses [HTML streaming to update a page dynamically](https://www.scd31.com/posts/extreme-server-side-rendering?utm_source=tldrwebdev) (by streaming in new CSS) instead of using JS.
