Eu devo admitir que pra um jogo de 2018 o temas que o jogo trata: IA, vazamento de arquivos e como a sociedade pode ser manipulada por grandes corporações, fazem com que a temática do jogo seja extremamente relevante para os dias de...

Musings and spelling errors from 1987
Imaginad lo interesante que fue la semana pasada que ni siquiera he podido hacer esta segunda retro a tiempo. Desde luego no soy una persona de costumbres, por más que lo intente. Esta semana sobre todo he estado peleando con empresas...
GitGen is the absolute final answer to my question: can I self-host my Git repositories on a shared host and make them “browsable”? Yes, yes I can. I approached this solution back-to-front. Why does it need to be dynamic, like Cgit,...
📚 Book 2 of 2026 - Finished: Brimstone by Callie Hart (3.5/5⭐) I guess I liked the first book in this series, Quicksilver, enough to be slightly excited to read the second book. I had high hopes, but still ended up giving it a 3.5 star...
Problem statement: auto-generate a commit message for git from the command-line. The solution should be vendor agnostic. Given a git-foo.sh in $PATH, it can be invoked as git foo, as if it were a built-in git command. This is helpful to...
So listen: it’s hard to be creative in all of this waves hands at everything going on in the world right now. You know it, I know it, they know it. So in order to help try to keep a little flow going on my end, I’m making a little...
January 2025. Manchester. Wednesday brings a train from Rye to Ashford, and then to St Pancras (no pub stop), on to Sheffield (where the boiler has frozen), and off to Manchester for City v Brighton, whose fans have had a similar...

Es el día señalado en el calendario, el único que he intentado no fallar, a lo largo de estos 20 años. Mareos de un geek vuelve a cerrar otro ciclo de 365 días, en esta ocasión el que completa las dos décadas. Normalmente, utilizo esta...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Tues 01/13/2026 - Joltik One of the first things I saw today online was this post from Sol that made me openly guffaw so I let him pick today's pokemon - and I got to...
I don’t want to paint or write long-form fiction in the age of AI. This isn’t me going on strike or anything. It’s just a report from my soul-crushed inner landscape of not feeling like making art and not having felt like making art for...
Oh wait what? I have the feeling that was on purpose and not forced cause they wanted more mutated babies and Lil was too old for more...
The new battery for my solar panels gives me electricity around the clock. I am happy with it. I am also pleased with the planning and hard work I did to (i) have an admittedly imperfect place to stay, (ii) be able to generate income in...
I came across PICO-8 sometime in 2018. The programmer and short-time gamer in me couldn’t control myself and had to buy it. I have not made any games with it, but I have enjoyed dabbling with it once in a while. The game, thankfully, is...
(Get to all the parts in this series via the series post.) What we have from part 2 is a simple project myproj/ which relies upon a simple reuse package @qmacro/common. That reuse package currently exists only within a workspace within...
I stumbled upon Vinson Guo somewhat by accident. I don’t remember exactly, but I think his app was suggested to me by Gemini or Perplexity. I don’t remember. Anyway, Vinson is a developer based in Chengdu, China. In recent months, he’s...

Musings and ramblings on programming and things
What can I say? Technical stuff 2 physical ins, physical outs. It also has a loopback pair so it’s 4 inputs and 4 outputs in total, so you can pair up your mic and desktop audio to the loopback inputs and use them in programs like OBS...
Early morning moon over Berkhamsted. After three weeks off, waking up just after 6am for five days in a row was a shock to the system. On Saturday I woke up when my wife brought up a cup of tea and then promptly fell back to sleep, not...
There are times in life when the continent of certainty parts underfoot and, as the ash cloud of the old world rains darkness upon us, we are asked to swim in the rivers of lava that will make the new. “Almost it would appear that it is...
The interim president of Texas A&M, Tommy Williams, has publicly replied to last week’s reports of his university telling a philosophy professor to remove readings by Plato and others from the syllabus of his moral problems course. In a...
The afternoon sun provides a golden light on these Nandina and other brush growing along the Shirakawa river, near Heian Jingu shrine. 午後の太陽が、平安神宮近くの白川沿いに生えている南天やその他の草木を黄金色に照らしている。
When I was a junior engineer, my manager would occasionally confide his frustrations to me in our weekly 1:1s. He would point out a project another team was working on and say, “I don’t believe that project will go anywhere, they’re...
Hoy vi un vídeo de Drew Gooden (el chico aquel del vine de “Road work ahead?”) que explica estupendamente bien cómo EEUU ha llegado a su situación económica actual, y se centra en hablar de dos temas que he escuchado muy pocas veces a...
Back in mid-November I decided to try using a Linux laptop as my daily driver for at least the rest of the year. Things were going pretty well until the laptop stopped booting into Pop!_OS. It actually stopped recognizing the SSD...
Now we're in the new year! In winter, it's usually quiet where I am, because tennis is not really possible to do when it's too cold outside (I would like to go to indoor courts in winter, but they're too expensive right now). But I have...
I got nostalgic over Christmas and thought about movies. I really over-booked myself this Christmas: I took on loads of shifts on top of rehearsing the January play, and still tried to see friends as often as possible. Don't get me...
I see a lot of AI skepticism in the dev community — and some of it is fair (okay, maybe “a lot”). Vague bug reports, monster commits, untested code … We’ve proably read it all, and maybe even seen it all. Even Mitchell Hashimoto whose...
I’ve owned mechanical keyboards since the early 90s. It was a rebranded variant of the Model M. I’m no stranger to mechanical keyboards so I know why they resonate with so many people. The TVSE Gold here in India later became the...
Whilst re-instating rsync in my blog publishing script (static IP! Hurray!), I came across the well named zparseopts that, surprise, simplifies script options parsing in Zsh. Immensely. Check it: zparseopts -D -E -F -- \...
I could’ve been titling these with that this whole time! Dang! An entire metric dang! Okay, so my boss and I had our weekly check-in meeting; without ego, I’m good at my job, so there isn’t really a lot to go over job-wise, and...

Edward FitzGerald (who's appeared on this blog before) was a staunch friend and supporter of Tennyson, but he was not initially much impressed by In Memoriam. Writing to Tennyson's brother Frederick, he declared that 'it seems to be with...
I read manga quite a lot this year, it remains one of my favorite forms of entertainment, so much so I’m even considering to get a tablet just to read it and enjoy it on a bigger screen (No, I will never turn into one of those maniacs...
A milestone: today is the first day I set my sprint timer to thirty minutes. I am excited to see how this goes. The longer these sprints get, the longer these entries should get in theory. However, I don't know if I want the entries to...
I. The Central Question Traditional aesthetics asks: “What is beautiful?” Deferential Realism asks: “What does constraint-alignment look like, sound like, feel like?” This isn’t relativism (“beauty is whatever you want”). It’s claiming...

Hoo boy, I go down a rabbit hole on this one! Going through the history of Kroger logos and dipping back into memories of making a CD-ROM for the grocery chain. ⊕Currently Listening: Purity Ring “many lives”Reply via email
Correva l’anno 2012 e, durante alcune conferenze IT a cui partecipavo, iniziavo a notare una fauna curiosa: persone in giacca e cravatta apparentemente poco interessate ai talk, ma molto presenti e concentrate nei momenti chiave...
