(¡Por fin me volvió la “inspiración”!) Contra todo pronóstico estos meses he estado jugando a Animal Crossing, por segunda vez desde que lo tenemos en 2020. La primera fue mi mujer quien se hizo una isla y se hizo la mánager, la segunda...

This is an empathy exercise, but don’t worry: you’re gonna get to hate someone along the way if you want to. Or if you love them, that’s okay too. The exercise doesn’t hinge on your hatred of them. Okay, so bring to mind someone you...
Grab the slider and go on an adventure with me It's weird that I only have one other photo of this stick on the blog. I must have tagged some of them wrong?? This thing is trapped in a power line that I see when I go on walks and I love...

Acuarius es una bebida que pertenece a Coca-Cola Company. Eso ya es suficiente motivo como para NO consumir ese producto pero al mismo tiempo es que es carisimo. Más de 2€ una botella de esas en supermercados. El tema es que realmente no...
I've just noticed that I have now exceeded 5,000 posts on this blog – Butterflies, Proms, Ibsen was number 5,000. I would never have seen that coming when I tentatively launched this Hedonic Resource on the world back in 2008. Anyway, I...

Summer is the season of insects. Earlier this year, I saw fireflies for the first time in my life. Now, the cicadas are beginning to sing (or scream, depending on your stance towards them). Lately, I've been feeling the strange urge to...
I just came across the Done by Humans “movement,” which appears to similar to not by AI: both offer badges to display proudly on your human-made website after some kind of vetting process. I don’t understand the appeal of sites like...
I honestly don't know, but I guess we'll find out. You can't open a social-media feed or listen to a podcast without being bombarded with stories of how LLMs write code faster than programmers. Not only for greenfield development, but...

A hill I will die on: there's a right way and a wrong way to play 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'.
Die Buchstabenfolge "ich" kommt in den folgenden 1036 Wörtern 157 Mal vor. Das wird – neben der üblichen Geschwindigkeit – ein guter Grund sein, das alles nicht allzu ernst zu nehmen. Ich fühle mich als wäre ich "aus der Übung", dabei...

Remember when I mentioned I was using my Kindle as a personal newspaper? And that this solution was ideal because I didn’t need to buy another gadget? I still stand by that, but I bought another gadget to be my “personal newspaper”: a...

An incomplete list: Educate yourself on what’s going on. If you don’t know what’s going on, don’t opine about it. Sign petitions. Share petitions, and talk about why those petitions are important. Look up local communities working on the...
For 6 years or so, I have been down the custom, split, ergonomic keyboard rabbit hole. And, since running a few different boards, I have found what I like and dislike in a board - to the point that it sounded like a good idea to build...
♠ Previously. Problem statement: mid-task, I want to ask the LLM agent a quick tangential question — “will this change cause downtime?” — without polluting the main agent thread. Claude Code has /btw1 for exactly this. pi doesn’t, but...

I was out for a bit last night and met up with Bill. Bill tells me a lot of his story. I was guessing when he left there is probably no one he has to let all that go. It’s wonderful and sometimes weird and strange having a Khmer partner....

It is by no means the gravest linguistic crime of the React epoch,1 but "state management" grates like nails on chalkboard. A Socratic dialogue I keep having about it goes something like this: me: This UI is far too heavyweight for what...
