This is a copy of an issue that I just created in the Nominatim repository. Sadly my skills in Python (and my knowledge of the OSM data model) aren’t good enough to poke around in the code on my own to figure out what is happening....
The story of Lord of the Flies is known to almost anyone, present company excluded. I may have seen the movie decades ago, but the memory was hazy. There were some kids, some island, and something bad happens. I was half-right. Lord of...
OpenSouthCode vuelve otro año más, trayendo un evento centrado en el software open source a la ciudad de Málaga. El evento, gratuito como todas sus ediciones, aunque hay que sacar la entrada, tendrá lugar en La Térmica, como viene siendo...
Companion to the Seat series. The series argued that no contentful verdict comes from nowhere, that the only honest residue of neutrality is declaration, and that a community which grounds its authority in a method hides the one choice...
IPv6 is weird. One of the more strange parts of the standard is that every interface's link local addresses are in fe80::whatever. If you have a machine with two network interfaces, both of them will be in fe80::, so if you have a packet...

TIMBRECONTIGO EN LA DISTANCIA[La Jornada, Martes 2 de junio 2026] En sus orígenes allá en el 3,500 A.C, la escritura se convirtió en una tecnología capaz de destruir distancias. Unos cuantos signos inscritos en tablillas de barro...
Una de las enseñanzas más importantes que me dejó el curso de UX que hace algunos años es conoceren profundidad el termino MVP. Vayamos por partes porque hay muchas siglas en sólo dos renglones. Para empezar UXX (User Experience, es una...
Desde a semana passada eu tenho escrito alguns posts do blog em um bloco (também conhecido como caderno) usando instrumentos antigos que antepassados usavam chamados de papel e caneta. Não sei o porque eu voltei com isso. Se era pela...
I’ve bought a year of the Pro plan. At the end of that year I will do a thorough reassessment, and will not renew unless I can (a) identify significant ongoing needs, (b) continue to believe that Anthropic is not quite as corrupt as the...
I missed two days of Pook-Emu Bee links. But it is not all bad: Now we have even more links from around the web to choose from. 1. Why I Built Bubbles (Ben at Bubbles Blog. March 26, 2026.) I’ve been an RSS obsessive for years. Hundreds...
Toni Morrison once lamented that people have been taught to think of a book as a mirror, when it ought to be a door. All great storytelling — be it a novel or a poem, a film or a song — enchants us precisely because it swings open the...
Welcome to my Linkblog where I share interesting articles and blog posts I found about social media, Indieweb, geopolitics, Chinese and Malaysian stuff, cute cat videos or anything funny and interesting I find online. FYI: I also share...

Liberals about AI consciousness hold that we might soon (if we haven't already) create genuinely conscious AI systems. Conservatives about AI consciousness hold that AI consciousness remains in the distant future if it's possible at all....
Rafael Nadal at his best was incredible. The elegance of Roger Federer too. The dominance of Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic in their prime was equally impressive. Still, someone amazing in his own right, and far less known, is...
2026-06-04Hello! It's been a while since I did some automobile photography. Lucky for me, the annual car show was being hosted nearby and I walked up to it without even realizing it. Pure coincidence that I happened across a big car show...
La terminal es probablemente mi herramienta favorita, por eso escribí este post. Un poco de lo que hago en ella y un poco de lo que haré.
Many of my friends have recently started getting involved in blogging or podcasting, in what I would argue is a larger trend towards shifting away from Instagram photos into longer form content. Some are looking to collect payment so...
One of my favourite parts of writing – and, by extension, blogging – is that I can, in words, capture a little bit of a day, and keep a little record of the moment. Each post can be a bookmark to a memory, and also part of the story of...
Bi Zhi is a time traveler from the future on a mission to retrieve artifacts tied to the death of his close friend Ziyi, from ancient China. After the time traveller Bi Zhi gets drunk, he accidentally drags a hapless young man, Beilu,...
I’m psyched for @incanus Justin Miller’s presentation tonight at Xcoders on “Swift Result Builders Case Study: Parsing.” I like writing parsers, and I’m very curious about Swift result builders. Should be a good one! See this post on the...
An American friend inquires – as well he might – what 'a Herbert Spencer of a cold' might mean. As I told him, I'm probably the only person on the planet who still uses the phrase (to universal bafflement). I came across it years ago in,...
Hong Kong Open Source Conference 2026I’m attending an in-person event this weekend related to my one of my passions for the very first time; open source! Came across the HKOSCon on Mastodon via @sammyfung, the founder of Open Source Hong...
Google, Meta and the unlikely addition of Mozilla are teaming up to work on a browser specification that would add browser user agent features to track impression, click data and ‘conversion’ data. This data is then sent to respective...
This old Metropolitan Line train at Chesham is nearly ready to go, with its cargo of parched weeds. We’ve properly entered Phil Collins season, with extremely hot temperatures dominating the week. My morning walk from Euston to the City...
well, not exactly a normal anime recommendation but close. Still so different that even people who normally skip anime stuff can give it a look. Really, a small piece of man made animation that deserves some minutes of your time if you...
Summary: I set up OpenClaw on my old MacBook and created a child Apple ID for it, allowing me to chat with it over iMessage. The result feels surprisingly human. (If you work at Apple and are reading this, please don't ban me) Ghost with...
My exercise journey dates back about 14 years when I first started running. The goal was very typical to lose weight. Looking back, I'm not sure I succeeded but over time my goals changed as did my view on exercise.I was probably in my...
Another month, another Game Changers review; with this, we’re almost done, and what a ride has it been! Beware: rape culture in ice hockey and sports generally; widespread misogyny in sports, and homophobia in professional hockey;...
It's Just Broken: Oh WordPressby Pup On TechIn a recent post, the Pup ON Tech perfectly captures the absolute nightmare that is building a self-hosted WordPress site. What starts as a simple VPS setup quickly devolves into a bloated mess...
Tomorrow I'll be leading an AI coding session at NYU ITP Camp. I wasn't planning to run one this year, but during the first few days of camp I found myself having the same conversation over and over again: things get messy fast when you...
Being chronically understaffed is a nightmare I can't seem to wake from. Not only did I have to close last night, but here I am, back before dawn, opening. I must have forgotten to lock the back door after closing, because when I walk...

I was surprised to learn that Age of Empires II is actively developed to this day. I remember the original game, subtitled The Age of Kings, being published during the reign of Edward Longshanks. It was followed by a comprehensive...
I don't enjoy editing my photos, never have. The part I like about photography is being out with my camera. The part I don't like is coming home to Lightroom and having a billion options to make my photos look a different way. For years,...

May Intro While The New Leaf Journal’s birthday falls on April 27, I like to consider May this project’s birthday month. That was part of why most of our sixth birthday celebration this year fell in May. With May now in the books, let us...
8 years ago, I was a junior software developer with only 2 years of fullstack experience and only a high school art degree, with a babyface and a sidecut. My answers for the interview were also not perfect. Despite all that, the teamlead...

I always share stuff from Argentina, but after listening to this song you might want to head towards Brazil instead. I’ve been listening to it in a loop for the last few days. It’s like having a streaming service of sunny weather in your...
A significant portion of the population in the USA still thinks of Reaganomics as certified fact rather than a largely discredited theory. By this mindset the engine of our economy requires people to strive for a ton of money. A rising...
Something that has proven beneficial for me, as an ADHDer, is to isolate activities. My brain works better in single-task mode, and I stay calm and more focused. I'm also more productive when I do these things, but that's not really the...

I've had my old website since... 2006 or so. And this website now since 2023. And I've been writing articles on both since. I figured, it's time to look back at some articles, especially the ones I still enjoy.
