Taking Back the Web with Decentralization: 2023 in Review https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/taking-back-web-decentralization-2023-review
When a system becomes too tightly controlled and centralized, the people being squeezed tend to push back to reclaim their lost autonomy. The internet is no exception. While the internet began as a loose affiliation of universities and government bodies, that emergent digital commons has been increasingly privatized and consolidated into a handful of walled gardens. Their names are too often made synonymous with the internet, as they fight for the data and eyeballs of their users.

In‑Depth Reading

美团到店终端从标准化到数字化的演进之路 https://tech.meituan.com/2023/12/29/the-evolution-of-terminals-from-standardization-to-digitalization.html
In our daily work, achieving fast, high‑quality delivery hinges on improving efficiency and quality. In practice, however, it’s hard to find a one‑size‑fits‑all strategy that optimizes both. Different contexts interpret “efficiency” and “quality” differently. For example, during the requirements‑development phase, engineers may focus on engineering efficiency and code quality; testers may care more about platform stability and requirement quality; product teams may aim to shorten delivery cycles and make better use of resources.

The Two Reacts https://overreacted.io/the-two-reacts/
React is a UI programming paradigm that lets me break down what to display (a blog post, a signup form, or even a whole app) into independent pieces called components, and compose them like LEGO blocks. I’ll assume you already know and like components; check react.dev for an intro. Components are code, and that code has to run somewhere. But wait—whose computer should they run on? Should they run on your computer? Or on mine? Related:

今日小寒，阴邪最盛，养生记住这六点，健健康康到明春！ https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/RqZcqH8O73AKy8ZQ1sosXg
Xiaohan marks the official start of deep winter. The character “寒” (cold) has two ice dots underneath; according to Chinese meteorological data, Xiaohan is usually the coldest solar term, with only a few years where Dahan (the following term) is colder. The “cold” of the day pushes yang upward, forcing yin. As the old year wanes and the new year approaches, life dormant in nature begins to stir. Winter is here—spring can’t be far off. With the New Year approaching, people start buying festive goods, writing couplets, cutting paper windows, etc. The whole country prepares for the Spring Festival, a time that feels especially warm.
