I always confuse the concept of ours and theirs. Every time I have to choose one I need to search which is which. Turns out I'm not alone! This website explains what each term refers to. TL;DR: the currently checked out branch is "ours" in merge, but "theirs" in rebase.

A gallery of interactive explanations. And the tool used to make these.

This article explained the ActivityPub protocol (used by Mastodon and others) by describing the essential endpoints which may be served simply in static json.

I love this approach of explaining things by reducing a complex thing into the minimalist essentials.

Another iceberg explain post, this time for postgres!

A visual and interactive explanation on how grokking (understanding) emerges in neuron networks.

What fascinates me is that the vast difference in neuron connectivity during memorizing and generalizing looks not unlike a human's brain in development.

Intuitive explanation on CORS with a lot of examples. The article is not short but the reading was fun.

There are these three types of CORS requests, embedding, reading and writing. Each are treated differently. CORS embedding controls cross-site resources to be embedded. CORS writing controls form. CORS reading controls the ability for a script to read the response from a cross-site request.

The article also explained how preflight request works, and CORS in local context, etc. Overall very nice to read.
