Be happy anyway 25 Jul, 2026 Last year, my wife and I hired a contractor to demolish and rebuild a dilapidated house we had bought. We did the maths and took out a mortgage with a bank to cover the remaining costs. That's how the world...

I briefly dated a guy from a dating app earlier this month. While I'm not looking for a life partner at the moment, I still struggle with feeling like I'm too picky. But on paper this seemed like a good match: we're both well educated...
Gruber:The obvious truth is that Apple’s ads just plain suck. They are not good at advertising-based services. And it shouldn’t be surprising that they’re not good at advertising-based services, because the incentives for...
Act One They woke her first, the way they always did, because she came up slower and Aaron liked to be awake when she surfaced so hers wasn’t the only face in the room that had missed him too. The waking room was warm. That was the first...

Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar and former president of Disney Animation, was on the David Senra podcast and I quite enjoyed the interview. (If you like the interview, you should read his book.) Ed talks about what he considered his job...
We live on a dirt road so when rain comes it becomes more interesting to walk to one of the paved roads. This morning it still drizzles and I like leaving to walk and get coffee around 8am. Now it’s almost 6. So rather than decide I...
Why is it that when I see anime nerds discussing translations of anime/manga they use the term "localization" and not "translation"? Are they just trying to be fancy, or is there a valid reason? David @ Setouchi This came up recently in...
I have written here about masks on twenty separate occasions (this post will make that twenty-one occasions), and my first book of artwork was titled Myth & Masks: Artwork by Paul Watson 2013–2015. They continue to fascinate me for many...

You’re refereeing a paper and you come to suspect it was substantially and/or illicily written by an LLM. What should you do? My suggestion: Keep in mind the possibility that you are mistaken as well as the possibility that the AI use...
Hallo, Since I posted an update on what I use, I thought it would be good to dump my current thoughts on some of the tools here. Around a year and a half I finally decided to buy a domain and slow de-google my digital life. This is when...

Reply to Don't Take the Black Pill - Andrew Kelley | SSW 2026 Such a nice, hopeful talk in this video. I've noticed I've gotten more and more and more jaded over time. The hypetech booms really do not help, and you know exactly which one...
It’s vitally important to have an About page, as well as a way for people to contact you with a Contact page. However, this whole ‘/now’ page thing I find a little stale, boring, and at times lame. But I might as well join the wonderful...

I think if I had my time again, I would have become a software developer. I just so much fun - coming up with ways to solve a problem in an elegant way is very satisfying. Then people emailing saying they enjoy the tools I'm creating....
Eu poderia resumir perfeitamente esse post em uma imagem do "velho gritando pra nuvens". Mas aturem mais um post assim, eu juro que ele não será tão grande. Eu me segurei pra não fazer nenhum post depois do aviso da Sony sobre o fim dos...
This post is a submission to this month's Bear Blog Carnival, and the theme is "An album that got you through a hard time." I don't use the Bear platform, but you can't get me to not write about something like this, okay? When certain...

Ich setzte den Vorschlag, den ich mir gestern gemacht habe direkt um und schreibe um 16:00, kurz nach einem eineinhalbstündigen Mittagsschlaf. Es kann nur besser werden, die folgenden 1000 Wörter sind trotzdem mit Vorsicht zu genießen....
I don't like doing a lot of things, but sometimes I just do things because I know I'll get an amusing anecdote from it. In fact, that's my main motivation for most things. Sure I might be miserable, and sure I might be surrounded by...
These days, unmanaged go func() calls don’t appear as often as they used to in the early days of Go. At this point, everyone knows Dave Cheney’s maxim to “never start a goroutine without knowing how it will stop”. Even so, I still...

They’ve been burning for over a week, mostly in a remote area, but the fire still needs dealt with. The wind changed yesterday and so did the fire, and the town of Nethybridge was evacuated last night. The town where my brother-in-law,...

I first read her books back during the pandemic. I think we all had more time to read back then. Lately I've been writing on my Isekai story and watching House of the Dragon so I needed a little palate cleanser. I had bought a copy of...
Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie, trailer, is a bat-shit crazy (to say the least) time-travel caper I found while perusing the movie listings on Kanopy last week. It’s a story about two musicians, Matt Johnson, and Jay McCarrol,...

July 2026. Middleton One Row. Near Darlington. From the Steam Machine I walked to Heighington Station, a dull mile through industrial estates, ending at a dead pub commemorating the first ever train. Somewhere along the way I realised I...
A while back I listened to a Pragmatic Engineer podcast with Peter Steinberger about his AI-native development workflow – the one where he runs 5-10 coding agents in parallel and ships code he doesn't personally read. The headline...
My thoughts on an Instagram reel I saw recently.
After 2 years of pondering to get new skates, I finally got urban skating roller-skates! Not that I could not buy them. My old skates are still in good shape. However, they were meant as temporary. Rightfully so. A test run. As usual, I...
A complete stranger: “Wow, I don’t hear an accent at all when you talk. Where are you from?” I could have this conversation in my sleep. The only time I can count on this particular conversation not happening is when I’m speaking to...
cJSON is probably the most widely used JSON parser in the C world. It’s vendored into ESP-IDF, into a lot of embedded firmware, and into a whole lot more server-side C. I found 33 security issues in it, using a mix of AI and some manual...

After many grueling hours, I now have my books and DVDs sorted into (admittedly eccentric) categories on the bookshelves, in the various places the movers put the shelves. This task creates a series of insoluble puzzles in...

I know the indie blogosphere detests Chrome, but bear with me. Or don’t. 🤷♂️ Safari was buggin’ out on my iPhone one day so I tried using Chrome for a bit. I soon learned that Safari has a big advantage in one of my common workflows. In...
