Major publishers sent me hundreds of baseball books when I was the book critic for Glamour and later for Ohio's largest newspaper. I praise five that made it into my Hall of Fame at one of my favorite @medium publications, Beyond the Scoreboard.
Among them: Jim Bouton's inside-baseball classic, "Ball Four," and Kadir Nelson's "We Are the Ship," an award-winning celebration of the old Negro leagues:
You seldom see strong fashion stories on @medium (a shame IMO, because we all wear clothes and they say so much about us). But the young Medium writer Jee Young Park show how well they can work in this story that defends the controversial 2024 MetGala by showing how much she valued the museum as a Korean-American growing up in New Jersey:
Why I prefer reading #GhostBlog blogs to #Medium and am looking forward to their #ActivityPub networking. I'm not sure if Medium authors remember this is the first impression that many of their blogs will see-- a good part of the page covered with a popover.
One out of maybe 12 that I had to report … it does not reflect well on the #SEO industry and #Semrush. It does reflect very well on Medium, which took down misinformation posts very quickly.
The size of the Docker image could quickly increase during the build time. I became more mindful of the image size when I started to deploy on Github Actions. The bigger the image size, the longer the run time and the higher the runtime cost.
This is when you should consider using a multi-stage build 🚀.
I'm trying to decide if Medium is still a viable place to grow my audience. Lately when I click on people's links I'm being taken to paywall pages (must be a member to read, not just logged in with my account), and I want to be sure I can set my material to be as widely read as possible.
But I know personally I'm starting to hesitate because it feels very pay walled.
I have two existing blogs there that have been dormant for a while.
To everyone using Medium to post your free articles: If the article requires me to login, I lost me. I won’t create an account and login to Medium for a free article. Sorry to a lot of you out there.
Dla mnie rewelacja 📻 📰 👑 - rozmowa, z której dowiadujemy się, jakie systemowe myślenie o mediach było u podstaw założenia podcastu Dwie Lewe Ręce. To nie tylko o tym konkretnym podcaście, ale o sytuacji ludzi, którzy nie rezygnują z potrzeby dobrych mediów (korzystania z nich lub ich robienia). Oraz o sytuacji ludzi, którzy chcieliby, żeby w Polsce istniało jakieś rzetelne medium na lewo od centrum.
(1/2) Setting A Dockerized 🐳 Python 🐍 Environment — The Elegant Way
A few weeks ago, I created a short tutorial about setting up a dockerized 🐳 Python 🐍 environment via the CLI, or the hard way. The second tutorial on this topic provides a more elegant and robust approach for setting up a Python dockerized development environment with VScode and the Dev Containers extension 🚀.
Everyone is always talking about how they want you to think outside the box, by which, presumably, they mean to think unconventionally. But it’s rare that someone actually wants you to think beyond the parameters of what they’re comfortable with, as their comfort is entirely what delineates the confines of the box. It is, in fact, the very point of the box.
This is the one account I can’t get #Medium to delete for #misinformation. The difference seems to be that I reactivated my account in the interim. They appear to help non-members who complain more than members!
I really don’t get why tech-people / developers blog on medium.
It’s such a shit ux with those popups everywhere, and whilst I get that setting up your own blog can be daunting to non-techies, it’s so easy for us tech folks. And cheap.
To those who produce well-written articles that are worthy of being read, but illustrate them with what has quickly become same-old-same-old #AI generated glowy cartoony complex images, I apologise for judging your work by the latter and choosing not to click simply because of them.
It's me, not you, but I'm still not clicking.
Yes, it's my hangup. You're right, I probably do need therapy.
