Tech — Work — Ramblings

by Mike Kalvas

I see you're not using JavaScript (which is awesome!) on one of my pages that uses it to provide a better experience. If you see something not working right, please let me know. My site should work exactly the same without it apart from any exceptions noted here.

I use prism.min.js to do syntax highlighting. It clocks in at 23kb total in size. Since the majority of the writing I do involves coding, I personally find this to be a worthwhile trade off. If you choose to keep this disabled, rest assured, the code examples are still there, they just may have some extra whitespace and obviously no syntax highlighting.

I do no tracking at all and am a zealot about keeping my pages as small as possible. If you're reading a page of mine that transfers more than about 250kb over the wire (including my most gratuitous indulgence — fonts) I've messed up.

So, if you'd like to have a slightly richer experience, consider enabling javascript for my site and I promise your trust won't be misplaced.

Combination of knowledge is the process of taking newly created or externalized knowledge and connecting it to other areas of knowledge or output. This can be a process of synthesis (Hegel dialectic thesis, antithesis, synthesis #thread), where the output is more 202110231459 Explicit knowledge or it can be a process of construction, where the output is building something concrete.¹

The combination of knowledge can also result in 202104291540 Emergence of new knowledge since 202109060835 Knowledge is constructed and 202109060836 Knowledge should accumulate over time.
