Why does man print “gimme gimme gimme” at 00:30? The maintainer of man is a good friend of mine, and one day six years ago I jokingly said to him that if you invoke man after midnight it should print “gimme gimme gimme”, because of the Abba song called “Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight”. Well, he did actually put it in. A few people were amused to discover it, and we mostly forgot about it until today.

Like most places, Jane Street largely teaches developers through a kind of apprenticeship model. A team matching process tries to thoughtfully match new devs to a team that suits them; and from there carefully chosen projects, one-on-one mentorship, code review, and close collaboration with people “on the row” – teammates sitting near you – does most of the rest.

If there isn’t a playtest series, you should start one. This post is for you. I have been involved in several recurring playtest series. I first […]

Wow! Just realized I've been blogging for over 20 years, starting way back in August 2004 on kinlan.co.uk with Blogger. The journey has taken me through Posterous and landed me here on paul.kinlan.me with Hugo (and maybe Jekyll at some point). Sure, there's some cringe-worthy stuff in the archives, but it's my history. And honestly, I wouldn't be where I am today without this little corner of the internet. Huge thanks to Tim Berners-L..

I have been using #karousel on #KDE for several weeks, and yesterday shifted to #PaperWM on #GNOME. Took some time to configure things like I wanted, but it's much smoother than karousel (and fancier). Overall, I like the scrolling tiling pane paradigm. I realized I've been manually doing something like this using workspaces with 1-2 windows per workspace with two keybindings - one to change …

Hi, guys and girls. I'm telling you a very creepy story that has happened to me on September 29. It's not fantasies. The story is real. And it worries me a lot. Imagine an "anonymous" Web-based chat (no names, just enter the website and start chatting) with a small enough user base, like Omegle. I found a "18 years old girl" there. I use quotes because that info was based on "her" reporting. We chatted for quite some time and enjoyed ....

This is Chris's " Some thoughts on Computers" – the final, edited form. The basic design of computers hasn't changed much since the mechanical one, the Difference Engine, invented by Charles Babbage in 1822 – but not built until 1991. Ada Lovelace was the mathematical genius who saw the value in Babbage’s work, but it was Alan Turing who invented computer science, and the ENIAC in 1945 was arguably the first electronic ....
