I’ve written an article on some trends in data I’ve found around my website, and AI search engines. I’m concerned how well blogging as a medium can actually survive this trend, if things don’t change much from their current state. madelinemiller.dev/blog/ai-sear...

Update on my Facebook account- someone saw the tweet and unbanned it 😌 I've written about my experience here, covering how social media is becoming borderline essential to function in society, and the impact that being banned can have- madelinemiller.dev/blog/dark-si...

I've written an article that goes over what optimisation is, and whether software/games are less optimised now than they used to be 😌 madelinemiller.dev/blog/what-is...

So a few weeks ago, some random kid on Discord managed to get my Facebook and all other Meta accounts suspended, with no chance of appeal and no way to make new accounts; hours after sending a nonsensical malicious threat. It’s horrific that this is actually possible

okay i actually love this game? i’m not finished part one yet, but it might be one of my favourite games ever depending on how it goes. i just love the character interaction vibes, and the filming and editing stuff 😌

so it turns out Wikipedia's page on MC Modding mentions WorldEdit, but i find it actually so funny that the only other entry in the section is on malware the two Minecraft mods: WorldEdit and Malware

i was just debugging why something was 100000x slower in my production Vite build than my dev server, and it turns out it was the polyfill for private class properties??? honestly shocked that such an innocuous feature's polyfills can tank performance like that

one of my biggest pet peeves around software changelogs, is when a release that had prior beta or alpha versions doesn’t list changes since the last stable. it means you need to then go through every alpha/beta release and decipher whether each change is relevant or not

The Open Source Pledge is one of the most exciting initiatives for open source I've seen in years. Open source funding today is inherently broken. Do the right thing, support open source. @opensourcepledge.com

a fair few people have requested an offline-viewable version of my 2020 post that outlined the first decade of Minecraft Multiplayer's history- so i spent some time turning it into a free eBook! 😅 madelinemiller.dev/blog/decade-... books.apple.com/us/book/id67... | play.google.com/store/books/...

i've made a post that covers how to read Minecraft Spark reports, similar to my one on Timings from a few years ago :) given Spark has replaced Timings in Paper now, it felt like a good time to write one on it 😅 madelinemiller.dev/blog/spark-p...

gotta say, looking back on some older stuff i’ve written, i’ve gotten significantly better at writing since i stopped using Grammarly. i feel it made me focus on what made it happy, rather than what made sense to me and flowed well, stopping me building up my own writing skill

something i’ve noticed over the past few years (mostly since tiktok creators got really big), is that “content creator” is now a much smaller term. like i used to get called a content creator due to my mods/plugins and writing, but now the term seems to mean video creator specifically

i did some investigations into the speed of block lookups on a few Minecraft versions over time, and wrote an article about it- how much slower it got actually shocked me 👀 i knew it got slower but didn't realise it was this much slower madelinemiller.dev/blog/minecra...
