Write a lot. This is alpha and omega of writing advice, the beginning and the end, and it’s that way for a reason– I don’t know anyone who’s good writing who hasn’t also put in serious hours. – Nat Bennet

I’ve always loved libraries. They are a glimpse of the kind of ‘better world’ we all want to live in. That’s because by their very nature they are inclusive and welcoming. Anyone who walks through the doors of a library is reminded, just by inhaling the air of the library, just by being embraced by its atmosphere, to be a kinder and more caring person, and to forget, for a moment, the usual rules of our capitalistic society.

Yes! Various traps like page faults may cause your user process to be switched into kernel codepath even when the process is minding its own business in the userspace. It just needs to do something that causes such a trap, like touch a new page of memory in its virtual memory address space, that hasn’t been “fully materialized” yet in the kernel memory structures. For example, after starting up an Oracle database instance that uses a l..

Nostalgia for the past has supplanted our yearnings for the future, becoming the default marketing tool for corporations. Instead of asking ‘what’s new?’, they ask ‘what have we done before that you liked?’. This trend transcends marketing tactics, reflecting a destabilizing era of remakes and reboots. Crucially, nostalgia is a finite resource, and its exhaustion bears unknown consequences. Jean Baudrillard’s notions of simulacra and simu..

I want to capture my thoughts around this experience… First, I know living on an island is a different experience than, say, the mainland but having to drive to Hilo for the surgeries and also drive home to Kona right after the second one is pretty annoying since Viv isn’t capable of doing the driving. … Continue reading Cataract Surgery

23 ecke - Georg Nees - zellyn.com - 2 years ago - eng
Having replicated Georg Nees’ iconic 1968/69 work, “Schotter”, I turned my attention to his “23 ecke” (literally “23 corners”, usually referred to as “Polygons of 23 vertices”), an earlier work from 1964: Background 23 ecke (“Polygon of 23 Vertices”) — Georg Nees, 1964 (Version published in rot 19 in 1965) From the 5 th to the 19 th of February, 1965, the world’s first exhibition of digital art was staged in the St....

I’m starting my third year as a PhD student. I thought it would be good to look back on some of the things that have helped me to this point. I study programming languages, but I imagine these things will help anyone in computer science—and some might have application to other STEM fields as well. There are many softer skills that you need as a PhD student: curiosity, good work ethic, organization, etc. These are essential and nothing c....

Right now I'm using the stock Gboard for my phone keyboard but I want to switch to a keyboard that doesn't track me. I went looking at the options and I see a ton of options. Is heliboard the best option? Are there better options for privacy? I was hoping we could have a thread where people talk about their experience and the overall usability of the multitude of keyboard options available right now. Are any of these options actually pri..

I usually talk about the things that I do that were successful. Today I want to discuss something that I tried but failed at. Documenting failed approaches is just as important, though less enjoyable, as documenting what we excel at. In order to explain the failure, I need to get a bit deeper into how computers handle memory. There is physical memory, the RAM sticks that you have in your machine, and then there is how the OS and CPU presen....

I’m encountering a somewhat controversial dilemma…in a few words: I can either write about what I’ve done, or I can do something. Let me put it this way: I’m often caught between doing (new) things and writing about them. Honestly, I’d rather dive into solving problems and making improvements than document what I’ve done, due to this, as soon as I solve one problem, my mind jumps to a next thing, which means I rarely stop to take my time ..
