judah @joodaloop.com · 01/10/2026text editing has probably done more damage to the fields of computers, HCI, and design than any other incentive or obstacle using runs of characters to represent everything everywhere all of the time, and then elevating it into sacred practices is beyond insane 020

judah @joodaloop.com · 24/09/2026you notice how it’s only programmers who say things like “software is over”? curious, eh? how the one group of people who only cared about code think that computers are just about code i suppose that “moving bytes around is solved” doesn’t sound as impressive but it’s closer to the truth 020

Reposted by judahboarders.bsky.social @boarders.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The concept of ‘language levels’ from racket is, to me, one of the great unsung ideas in computing. Imagine photoshop with extensible affordances gated to your current skill level, or a coding harness, or R studio, or a browser, or a terminal. To me it would be the welcome anti-philosophy to RTFM 5307

Reposted by judah𝕮 @chrisshank.com · 27/08/2026Reminded of the deep lore of local-first, that it originally emerged out the question of whether p2p file sharing networks could support collaborative editing. This is one of the first papers about CRDTs: inria.hal.science/inria-001085... 0283
!["Currently, peer-to-peer systems demonstrated how they
can ensure scalable content distribution. In their survey [4],
Androutsellis-Theotokis et al. wrote:
“Peer-to-peer content distribution systems rely
on the replication of content on more than one
node for improving the availability of content,
enhancing performance and resisting censorship
attempts.”
We want to reuse these characteristics not only for content
distribution but also for content editing."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zcanytzlaumjwgaopolw6wes/bafkreihxdunm3fkez3mbfgg7zuof2hzppo3zbjhqnlvborpnlhvs3nz47u)
!["networks mainly distribute immutable contents, we want to
distribute updates on this content and manage collaborative editing on it. We are convinced that if we can deploy a
group editor framework on a P2P network, we open the way
for P2P content editing. It means that all existing collaborative editing applications such as CVS and Wiki can be
redeployed on P2P networks and take advantage of availability improvements, performance enhancements and censorship resistance of P2P networks. For instance, Wikipedia [2]
is currently a collaborative encyclopædia that has collected
more than 4,700,000 articles in more than 200 languages.
Wikipedia has more than 50 million of page requests per day.
200,000 changes are made every day [1]. However, Wikipedia
needs a costly infrastructure to handle the load. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars are spent every year to fund the infrastructure. A P2P massive collaborative editing system
would allow to distribute the service, tolerate failures, improve performances, resist to censorship and share the cost
of the underlying infrastructure."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zcanytzlaumjwgaopolw6wes/bafkreibiphhvw2oiqwdcjxxdjl557jt5vtk7j4j5ulyenc2qfhrp5ydiqy)
