I have always enjoyed the act of typing words and seeing them come up on screen. While my favorite word processor of all time might be WordPerfect ( here ), I've used almost all of them. These programs were what sold me on the entire value proposition of computers. They

This blog is called Meeting the Masters which indicates its origins. but I don't write much these days about the spiritual beings I call the Masters. That is partly because my experience with them ended over 25 years ago though perhaps I should say my conscious experience since I believe they are still a factor in my life. just one of which I am not outwardly aware. That means they could be a factor in many people's inner lives. acting as g....

Nekoukej jen do mobilu Pozorování ptáků může pomoci udržet mozkové funkce a zpomalit stárnutí. K tomuto závěru dospěli kanadští vědci, kteří zjistili, že struktura určitých oblastí mozku se u zkušených pozorovatelů ptáků liší ve srovnání s těmi, kteří ptáky nepozorují. Studie byla publikována v časopise The Journal of Neuroscience (JN). Ve studii vědci porovnali 29 zkušených pozorovatelů ptáků a 29 nováčků. Účastní....

There are a lot of great musicians who don't live near you, and if you hold your dance on a Saturday it's much harder to put together a tour that brings them to you. Consider a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon, or even a weekly evening slot? Looking at the 330 contra dances tracked by TryContra , which I think is just about all of them, there's a very clear scheduling pattern: There are more dances on Saturdays than the....

Tip for Grievers in Texas by a Texas prisoner March 2026 permalink I fully participated in the grievance campaign here in Texas and filled out and mailed in all of the petitions you sent me. For the comrades in Texas, the recipe I’ve discovered to get a grievance returned that they’re trying to ignore or destroy is to have somebody in the world send an email to: the regional director (in Huntsville, it’s Michael Britt), the warden of yo....

SQL databases support multi-column indices, where a single index can incorporate data from multiple columns. These are powerful, but the order of the columns matters, with differences observable in practice: there can be orders of magnitude between two similar & simple queries, depending on which uses a prefix of the index columns. Why does this limitation exist? Can we have a mental model for the indices that explains the behaviour? Yes,....

Go visit the website any of your favourite AI agent or tool. Navigate to installation instructions. It’s very likely going to be a form of: curl URL | bash or npm i -g. Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Pi - all of them. I get it, it’s convenient. Thing is, even if you “trust” the provider, you can’t rule out supply chain attacks. npm is already notorious on that front. Despite a prolonged effort by the npm folks to clean this up, the probl..

It’s hard to figure out which of this past year’s books was my favourite. None were perfect. There’s one chapter in The Daughter’s War that may be the funniest I’ve ever read in the fantasy genre (if you know you know).

There has been a slight transition in social science teaching since I have been a student and professor over the past ~15+ years. In the aughts, it was still common to teach students in legacy, closed source statistical software (SPSS, SAS, and Stata). When I was a PhD student in criminal justice at SUNY Albany, […]
