Brewster Kahle, at The Internet Archive Blogs: Ever try to read a physical book passed down in your family from 100 years ago? Probably worked well. Ever try reading an ebook you paid for 10 years ago? Probably a different experience. From the leasing business model of mega a publishers to physical device evolution to format obsolescence, digital books are fragile and threatened. […] Our paper books have lasted hundreds of years on our..

I recently wrote White Elephant is surprisingly effective (link) with Yee Aun, and I realized I hadn't mentioned it here yet. It's an exploration of what makes a gift distribution "good", including simulation and visualization of how White Elephant distributes gifts. This project felt like the perfect example of what Basecamp's Shape Up calls "fixed time, variable scope": It’s hard to ship a book when you can always add more, expl....

I continue building a weighted version of the Mann–Whitney $U$ test. While previously suggested approach feel promising, I don’t like the usage of Bootstrap to obtain the $p$-value. It is always better to have a deterministic and exact approach where it’s possible. I still don’t know how to solve it in general case, but it seems that I’ve obtained a reasonable solution for some specific cases. The current version of the approach still has..

I get significantly more work done when I unplug my computer from the Internet. It’s not that my productive output drops to zero when I’m plugged in, but more like 70%. Despite many of the tools that I use requiring a connection, and certainly the Internet containing a wealth of information that might expedite my work, these benefits are drastically outweighed by the wealth of distractions also available. It’s very appealing, when the c..

I think Nix is really cool . Nix the package manager and functional configuration language is most often associated with NixOS the Linux distro, but nix-darwin makes it almost as easy to declaratively configure macOS as it is to configure NixOS installations. Even if you’ll still relying on Homebrew for package management and never touch nixpkgs, I’d say that Nix with nix-darwin provides the best way to manage packages and system configurat....

This happened a few minutes ago, I got a call from an unknown number. That was my wife’s work number, and she called to ask me an urgent question, it seems: “Can you tell me how to compress a PDF file?” she asked. For the next part, it might be better if I paint you the whole picture. Imagine bullet time, where everything slows down, and I start to analyze the question and my possible answer. The following thoughts run through my mi....

Wet, cold, and foggy winter day in the plains, I knew it would be splendid in the highlands. At the last minute and even a little late by my usual safety standards, I packed my backpack and dashed into the hills. To avoid being late or having to return in the dark, I didn’t even stop eating, munching on two bars as I walked, but it was worth it. Rio Petroso is a rather complex and articulated circular tour, with frequent environmental cha..

You have a hobby you’ve been into for a decade or more. You like talking about your hobby, and your friends and family, after listening to these things for as long as you’ve been into them, maybe aren’t as excited to always hear about it as you are about discussing them, so in an act of compassion you create a youtube channel where you can monologue about your passion instead.

If you have more than one git branch up in the air at the same time, having a system to track them and filter them is essential. Here are the stages I went through with git branch. xkcd reminds us that we're insane Prefixes : My first tip involves using a memorable prefix. For new features I name my branches with feat/. For example feat/my-new-feature. Yes the slash and the dashes are treated like any regular character. I also c..

I have Lobsters and Hacker News blocked on my devices because I’m way to prone to refreshing those constantly. I rely on my RSS feed that I’ve curated over the past few years which also includes some other curators like Simon Willison and John Gruber . I’m thinking about how I can still discover new authors without scrolling on autopilot, especially on Lobsters, where I find the submissions to be really high-quality. Maybe these weekly....

Since several millennia, February, or these weeks of the year, has always been special. Among Romans, there were many festivities which took part in these days, and were deeply linked with the concept of rebirth or purification . It’s always fascinating, for me at least, to imagine how Winter and Spring could be seen from people from thousands of years ago. Let’s try digging into some ancient gods and celebrations of the past. Fever All....
