It takes place at Galley House, a dwelling in the English countryside, during a dinner party where things go sideways. Galley House is divided into many rooms, and the core gameplay involves following characters from room to room, listening in on their conversations, learning their motives, and eventually piecing together a..

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....

Why don't multi-column indices help queries on the second column?

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,....

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). Governing the Commons was an interesting book that reminded me of Mushroom At The End […]

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, […]

Brian: I’m Brian Hall. And today we’re talking again about habits. In the last episode, we both set out some intentions to change our writing habits and establish a daily practice. Let’s check in on that. Lou, how did it go for you? Lou: Not great, Brian. I did the habit none times. Brian: Okay, not great. Remind us what you were going to do and tell us what happened.

Is anyone here interested in automata theory? I got into CS since I liked both linguistics and math, and the common link was logic (in semantics), formal language theory, etc. At first I found it a bit difficult to understand the exact mappings of different automata to the expressiveness of their respective formal languages since I understood transformation rules intuitively, I find the automata part one of the most interesting parts of CS ..

Recently I was surprised to discover that there are several bad ways to do magic links. The basic idea is: a user hits “login”, enters their email address, and receives an email that allows them to login without a password. What could possibly go wrong? I work in security, so I already knew a few best practices I would need to implement: The link should have a short expiration The link should only work once The link should include a s..

This essay is part of the series in which I talk about my learnings and insights building a habit coaching app (Nintee) in 2024. It didn’t ultimately work out because an app has marginal influence in a human’s life (v/s that of friends, family, culture and immediate environment). Most apps that work in the category… Read More The post How does behavior change happen appeared first on Inverted Passion .

A couple of days ago I released FatturaElettronica 4.0.6 . It adds support for legacy windows-1252 encoding to both XML and P7M invoices, a long-standing annoyance that could previously be circumvented via external code. windows-1252 encoding in Italian e-invoices has been a persistent headache — it’s technically outside the FatturaPA spec (which mandates UTF-8), but it crops up often enough in real-world invoices from older or misconfig..

I wrote a web app to choose a random programming language . It’s very simple; I hestitate to even call it an “app”! The interesting part was scraping all the languages on Rosetta Code , and even that wasn’t very interesting. But I hope you like it! I learned about a language called Arturo this way, and wrote a short story about that experience .

Okay, so I already did this dance back in 2017. Looking back, my observations were somewhat shortsighted, but felt decent enough at the time. A year later, I contemplated the future of Vim once Bram Moolenaar dies. In 2023, we sadly found out what happens, with Christian Brabandt taking the lead. Since Bram's passing, I've bounced between Vim and Neovim regularly. Frequently enough that I've kept the configuration for both in my do....

The Importance of Creating a Relapse Prevention Plan by Orko of United Struggle from Within March 2026 permalink Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentments are addictions. Our addictions, no matter what – drugs, alcohol, violence, or parasitic behaviors – begin in our minds with the obsession phase of the addiction cycle. To further define the addiction cycle, I am talking about: 1) Obsession – the idea 2) Compu....

One night, I wrote a simple tool to pick a random programming language . After shuffling a few times, I landed on Arturo . I decided to try it for fun. What’s Arturo? Best I understand, Arturo is a stack-based programming language. It’s primarily maintained by Yanis Zafirópulos. They published a vision of the language in 2020. Here’s the stated goal from that post: to make something that I myself will use as an easier do-it-all sc....
