So I’m reading the teachers subreddit for my daily dose of misery and sense of doom about the future when I come across an unusually worded comment. As an educator, I’ve got to agree - while crystals and essential oils can be lovely, they won’t replace a solid IEP or therapy. Let’s save the throwing for the baseball field, not the classroom! ~ /u/mohsinali- (343 Karma pre Suspension) This comment reeked of ChatGPT. This is exact..

Introduction Everybody knows JSON , it’s a simple serialization format and the default format for REST APIs. Like many other topics, there are fine points you should know in order to work with JSON more effectively and avoid common mistakes. In this article we’ll explore some big picture aspects and some low level details of using JSON. Serialization Before diving into JSON, I’d like to take a look at serialization in general and disc..

I’m officially a dad to my now four-month-old son, Jasper. It’s been a long journey to get here, but every moment is worth it. I plan to share more about our fertility journey someday, but right now, I'm just savoring these precious moments and looking forward to watching him grow.

This blog post will not be updated to match the site in the future, any mention of how things are will remain that way. Firstly, I made this blog with two key influences in mind: Herman Martinus ’ Bear Blog for it’s simple & lightweight ethos InvisibleUp ’s unique article banners featured with each post I mentioned this prior in a now-deleted blog post. With that post now gone, I feel it’s best to publicly credit my influences....

Recently noticed the user agent in Firefox on OpenBSD shows up as Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64 instead of OpenBSD after upgrading from Firefox 115-esr to 128-esr Apparently this changed sometime ago. Assuming this changed due to compatibility reasons for web devs. Someone filed a bug report for FreeBSD https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=277368 which turned out not to be a bug and is as intended to be so.

Quotes around your tables got you down? Yeah me too. Creating, dropping or altering PostgreSQL objects with Python and psycopg is a bit tricky when it comes to identifiers like the names of databases, tables, and indexes.

In my last post I described how I made a very fast BF interpreter. Well, there’s a lot more speed to be had with an optimizing compiler. This post is a write-up of my assignment for a compilers class, so the post a little rougher than normal. You can find the code at the following places: GitHub repo Codeberg repo Code organization # Files for the compiler: interp_threaded_opt.rkt BF parser and all optimizations live her....

Spam is everywhere. If you have an email account, a mailbox, a website with comments, a cellphone, a social media account, a public form, etc. We all know it, it is a plague. Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to fight spam, with various degrees of success, some more effective than others, some […]

I ran into an instance of this Typescript bug recently. Basically, Typescript lets you do this without compiler errors: const arr = [1, 2, 3]; const x: { a: number[] } = { a: { ...arr } }; x.a.map(n => n + 1); Note the { ...arr } instead of [...arr]! Running this throws the error

We’re living in the cyber dark ages. The primary way most people interact with the internet is through social media. This is the default space people not only listen to others, but also try to make their voices heard - which is sad, because social media isn’t very good for that. It is liberating to have complete control of your own cyberspace. I’ve been running lagomor.ph , or some derivative of it, for almost ten years, and it’s been ..

It's been 5 years since I talked about showing/hiding Emacs dired details in style , a short post showcasing hide-details-mode (built-in) and diredfl (third-party). While my dired usage increased over the years, my dired config remained largely unchanged. Today, I'll show a new dired tweak. As you likely suspect by now, I'm a big fan of hide-details-mode . It gives me super clean and minimalistic view of my files. If I need m....

All the big cloud providers like AWS and Azure have an API for the sythesis of text into the spoken word. But there are also young startups like ElevenLabs that offer their innovative solutions in this space. A third option is open source software for those who either do not want to pay for the service of TTS (text-to-speech) or do need on-device TTS. That is why in this article I want to provide an overview of the most important open sour..

Hey, here goes our next post in this series. Now that we're done with writing the initial events of the first four or so sessions, we'll uh, try to post more regularly, ideally one post per session, so they don't get quite as long and maybe they'll be a bit easier to read for those interested. As previously, all events described are fictional, and so on. This blog post is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not ....

Introduction Link to heading The London LOOP is the London Outer Orbital Path, a 150 mile (242km) walking route which encircles the city, like a hiking equivalent of the M25 (the London Orbital Motorway). There’s more good info on the LOOP on the TFL and Ramblers sites. I split the walk over 9 days between May and September 2024, averaging 15-20 miles (24-32km) per day. These are some notes I took.

I admit it has been a while since we last posted here, diverging from our otherwise roughly monthly schedule – we simply did not find anything interesting enough to post about that was too long or otherwise unsuitable for Fedi.

We decided we wanted to summarize the events happen....
