I just finished re-reading Ted Chiang' "Story of your life", and a number of things clicked in my head. You may have picked up that I read this novel at the same time as I was working on my Ph.D. research. You may have picked up that this research was MY research topic, but I had not written yet that I did hunt for...

(Oops, did I say that out loud? I meant to write: ‘Next step, a globally diversified passive portfolio’…) What is an index...

Protohackers login is via a "magic link", so attempting to sign up or log in results in sending an email. But none of the email body is user-controlled, so I don't really see the logic in abusing this form to...
Snowy mountain peaks in the Rocky Mountains, as seen from the summit of Flagstaff Mountain near Boulder, Colorado. The post Distant Snowy Peaks appeared first on 75CentralPhotography.
The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, likes to invoke international law. Imagine that one day, someone had finally responded to him. Not just anyone, but one of the founding fathers of international law. It happened just after the Ceuta incident, in July 2026, when tens of thousands people from Morocco surged...
