A CBSE student raised a question about his misplaced answer sheets. Instead of empathy or a call for accountability, he got called anti-national. This is about the machinery that turns complaints into betrayal, and reminds us that hate...
Eres una persona muy lista por lo que veo. Cuando te hablan de los «hosts files» sabes de que se trata. No obstante has de saber que lo mismo no todo el mundo es tan listo y tan guapo como tú. Es posible que alguien no sepa para que se...

If you have a multi-cluster EKS deployment for your development, QA and staging environments, those generally don't need to run at 3AM. No one is using any of that, except for maybe a few cronjobs to refresh data. Everything else is...

In case you missed my other post about this, I've been beating all the mainline Final Fantasy games in order of release. And, I just now got done beating the third one! First of all: This is by far the best game in the series so far, I'd...

Thank you thank you thank you Robert Birming for the Bear Blog theme of my dreams. In fact, I've gone into frankly unhinged territory by also turning all of my links rainbow-coloured when you hover over them. Is this the taste of too...

May 2026. Stockport. Back from Romania, we dashed off to Stockport the next morning to help Matt and Emma with their move from central Manchester (Emma’s Dad had already done the hard yards) to Heaton Norris. Just look at the stress on...
… this is just to say that your post, A Rebellious Brain really struck a chord with me, and I am really familiar with that undermining brain process with regard to writing. Oh my, yes. (Also, you who are reading this who aren’t...
There’s been a recent, fundamental cultural shift in how we process sports narratives. For a long time we relied on loud talking heads on tv to manufacture bombastic outrage or frenzied hysteria, or face-painted fan warriors to fuel deep...
At the hazy dawn of the twentieth century, through the byways of mental meandering and mathematical play, Albert Einstein arrived at a revelation about the nature of the universe while working as a clerk at the Swiss patent office — a...
Following Robert Birming’s lead, for the month of June I’ll be maintaining a list of posts that I’ve enjoyed. I’m shooting to have a list of 30 by the end of the month, but they may not match one-to-one for the day that I find them. I’m...

Today I captured A Sailor Beetle, A Four-spotted Plant Bug(?) and A Yellow Dung Fly. These aren't macro images, I don't actually own a macro lens, but my 40-150mm lets me get reasonably close. It was a little tricky to get these in...

I've got the paper, I've got the pen. Now Amy, you love him right? Yeah of course, and there's many things I love about him, but I just stare at the stupid blank piece of paper. How do you even start a love letter? Like hey, I've been...

As much as I want all LLM-based generative AI to be ejected into the sun, it's probably not going to happen any time soon. And since I'm a professor at a university, I have to deal with the role of generative AI in education.
Im Lesekreis wurde neuerdings Hegel gelesen, und dabei ist nicht nur eine Parallele zu Whitehead aufgefallen. Erstmal aber diese: Hegel schreibt in der Einleitung zur Phänomenologie des Geistes, dass ohne die genaue Bestimmung seiner...
