Yesterday I went for a walk in the mountains. This tour starts from Bocconi (on the road to Muraglione Pass) and the nice humpback bridge that is just below the village (I think it’s called “della Brusia”). Ponte della Brusia, Bocconi (FC) It is a nice hike, with the ascent that becomes quite challenging in the final part, towards the ridge tops, which, once reached, you’ll follow for a long time, partially on a forest road, befo..

I joined Bazaarvoice as a DevOps engineer into the Cloud engineering team in September 2023. It has been a very busy first 4 months learning a lot in terms of technical and soft skills.

Aneb jak vypadá scénář barevné revoluce. Vyměnili vám demonstranty a budou vás chtít poštvat proti sobě. Obávám se, že se bude na Majdanu střílet. Smáli se a říkali, že se nemůže nic stát, protože jsou příbuzní i s lidmi na Donbasu. Vyprávěl jsem jim proto o zvenčí vyprovokované občanské válce v Sýrii. Tam, ve městě Dará, na hranicích s Jordánskem, střelba do lidí zahájila utrpení, jež ovlivnilo celý náš svět. Článek O čem se mlčí – Stan..

I really like lists! I also really like mental models . This post is about both. I use “mental models” quite loosely here: any kind of model, law, idiom, aphorism, etc. that helps me take something about how the world works and capture, compress, and distill it down to something named. They’re like pointers in an index that help me retrieve and recall the right page (and the content that lives there).

In a beautiful essay published in Waiting for God, Simone Weil reminds us that study serves to develop attention, and almost no matter what is studied, even a mathematical exercise that turns out to be incomprehensible is fine. “Without feeling or knowing it,” Weil writes, “that seemingly sterile and fruitless effort has brought more light into the soul. One day one will find the fruit of it (…) in any sphere of intelligence, perhaps entire..

As it appears, cannibalism was much more widespread than previously thought, and perhaps for more complex reasons than we think. To honor the dead, for example. Our ancestors have been eating each other for a million years or more. In fact, it seems that, down the ages, around a fifth of societies have practised cannibalism. While some of this people-eating may have been done simply to survive, in many cases, the reasons look more compl..

I run a HomeLab for hosting a few bits (for example atuin, omnivore and matrix-bridges) Like all software these things need to be kept up-to-date. This saps the fun out of hosting things.

You may have noticed iPhones don't exactly look the same… A lot has changed internally, User Interface (UI) components look far different than they used to. The code to create these views has evolved, and as a result, so have the UI components themselves.  Swift, Apple's programming language for creating native iOS apps, has used UIKit as its framework for UI components since 2008. Over time, UIKit has evolved into a robust and flexi....

In this article, we will discuss what is the thundering herd problem and how you can tackle it effectively when designing a system.

Having worked a bit in Zig, Rust, Go and now C, I think there are a few common topics worth having a fresh conversation on: automatic memory management, the standard library, and explicit allocation. Zig is not a mature language. But it has made enough useful choices for a number of companies to invest in it and run it in production. The useful choices make Zig worth talking about. Go and Rust are mature languages. But they have both ma....

I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: “May be dangerous to your health.” One of the most dangerous presidents we had in this century was John Kennedy because people said “Yes Sir Mr. Charismatic Leader what do we do next?” and we wound up in Vietnam. And I think probably the most valuable president of this century was Richard Nixon. Because he taught us..

A few days ago a question was asked on Hackernews on how slow thinkers compensate for their lack of quick-wittedness . Some people have responded that preparation is key : Sometimes what people think is quickness is actually extensive prep. I had a 30 minute meeting the other day to ask a team to do something I didn’t think they would want to do. It ended up going really smoothly and they just took my word for it, but had they not, I..

I am so excited that I now have a "Safe" way to run Windows for devices that do not support Linux. I walked away from all MS products in favor of Linux over a decade ago. I love that VM gives you full control over what resources Windows can see. I can download under linux and drag and drop onto the Windows VM and Windows will never have access to the internet. Thank you for your very detailed instructions. This has opened up many devic..
