Writing forces clarity. When I explain a concept to others - in a doc, a talk, a code review comment, even just chatting with AI - I discover the gaps in my own understanding. The act of making something legible to someone else makes it more legible to me. – Addy Osmani in 21 Lessons From 14 Years at Google The one quoted above is #12, and I’ve been religiously abiding by it for a long time, but all 21 are well worth reading.

We’ve been blessed lately to hear the case for design presented on Joe Rogan and Piers Morgan and Ben Shapiro. So. people are starting to learn about the origin of life. the fossil record. the structures inside … Continue reading Dr. James Tour discusses the case for design in nature with Tucker Carlson →

Someone asked me which contra dance bands and callers played the most major gigs in 2025, which reminded me that I hadn't put out my annual post yet! Here's what I have, drawing from the big spreadsheet that backs TryContra Events . In 2025 we were up to 142 events, which is an increase of 9% from 2024 (131), and above pre-pandemic numbers. New events included Chain Reaction (Maine dance weekend), Galhala (women's dance weeken....

Like a lot of people, you may be using Go at work to develop backend applications or create infrastructure tools. But you may not be aware that you can actually make video games in Go using Ebitengine . Photo by gomding Just enough to make games Ebitengine aims at being dead simple. It was explicitly designed to have the most minimalistic API possible and still let people make the games they want. Of course, it has some limitatio....

This is the blog post I wished I could have read when making electric vehicle (EV) purchasing decisions in 2024. To help others make an informed decision, you need to understand: my own family's situation at the time of purchase, our unmet needs, and how the EV9 met those requirements. Pedantic enough for you? Because this will more more pedantic than you think. Figure 1: Actual photograph from the surface of the moo....

Why write? In this age of algorithmically curated feeds and LLM generated slop, the question is more vital than ever, but vital answers are short in supply. There are doubtless some who will argue that due to the pure volume of writing (or at least “writing”) that is currently being churned out, the actual value of another piece is close to zero; perhaps they would say that the marginal utility approaches zero, to justify their philisti....

I recently ported the Hardcaml_step_testbench library , one of the libraries that we use at Jane Street for Hardcaml simulations, from using monads to using algebraic effects, a new OCaml 5 feature. This blog post walks through what algebraic effects are, why you should consider using them in lieu of monads, and how to actually work with them using the Handled_effect library . One thing I’ve come to believe is that most of what can be don..

Back in October 2024, I got my hands on a Snapdragon Dev Kit . With a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite ARM64 CPU (the fastest model!), 32GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, it ran Windows 11 for ARM lightning fast. So I made it my daily driver, and it stayed that way until very recently. I even wrote a review of it one year later back in October.

Another year, another wrap-up! I’m an absolute broken record on these things, but you haven’t read one in a year so maybe you don’t remember that I write basically the same thing every year. 2025 was definitely even better than 2024, which is hard to believe. Before I sit down to write these posts I […]

I really haven’t got much time or energy at the moment (I spent most of the Christmas break with an extremely painful back, which was exhausting and frustrating), but I wanted to post a very brief list of books I read this year. I read a total of 44 books this year, which includes re-reads […]

How have your guys' homelab setups been running? Are you doing anything new or setting up new services you'll actually use? I've spent the day trying to get my R510 to recognize this H200 I flashed and threw in earlier and to start iDRAC6. My plan is to run the machine with proxmox and ZFS for a house-wise NAS, jellyfin instance, and pi-hole for the people in my apartment who dont want to set up dnscrypt but want some blacklisting.

Wouldn’t it be nice to pull out the key ideas and action points from a book you have just read or are considering purchasing? Maybe get a reminder of the story line of a fiction book you read years ago?
