It finally happened. AppImages have finally been fixed once and for all. And by that, Linux itself. https://github.com/lucasmz1/Anylinux-AppImages/tree/main A new way of making AppImages, that (different from the crippled ones made in the "official" way) includes *literally everything* in the bundle, making them truly self-contained, truly distro-agnostic, truly universally portable, and somehow, also smaller. Moreover, it finally pro..

It's been one of those months, and by that, I mean one of the 663 months since I was born. This won't be a long post, because I only have two things to say. First, I'm really glad we re-ordered the GMI (Guaranteed Minimum

Well after several about an hour troubleshooting, the conclusion from the LLM was that the networking stack on my laptop was hosed. I rebooted and everything seems to be working again. I can‘t even remember that happening a single time before on this machine. Kind of strange it should happen right after my first blog posts in several months. Such is life sometimes. And every time also. #

I'm having the strangest connectivity issues all of a sudden. Some web browsers on my machine can't load any web pages at all. Others can load some pages, but not others. Trying to troubleshoot it with the help of some LLMs but of course the connectivity issues mean it's very difficult to do anything at all because the sessions keep disconecting. I haven't installed any software or made any configuration changes recenrtly. Anyway just..

Open source is about to get a lot messier. Not because the code is getting worse – because AI agents just changed the economics of “fork it and fix it yourself.”

前面抖了两篇 如何跟孩子讲学习的意义 失落的学习兴趣 今天就抬一个具体论据。 来自zhihu ： Q: 如果文言文退出中国教育体系，你是支持还是反对？为什么? A: 文言文真退了，可能就真的不知道以后高中语文课上来是干什么的了。 但是作者不允许转载。我只能先归档 https://archive.md/UUomq 再让AI转述一下这篇回答的精华： 高中语文长期处于一种尴尬状态：教材内容与高考要求之间缺乏明确对应关系，导致教学目标模糊。相比数学、物理、英语等学科，语文老师很难清晰地回答“教这些课文到底是为了什么”。 首先，考试内容与教材几乎脱节。 1. 语文选择题中的拼音字形成语病句这些基础知识，在教材中完全没有体现。 2. 科技文现代文阅读选择题，考验逻辑，教材上完全没有。 3. 现代文阅读主观题和课本上的内容风马牛不相及， 4. 最后的作文，60分，教材介绍了一些什么“三段论”分三个论点，那都是老套筒陈腐不堪的东....

I joined a FAANG company 1.5 years ago after working mostly in startups and one medium sized company. I wish I’d joined way sooner because I’d have millions more in my bank account. But besides the money alone, I think every engineer should work for a top tier tech company at least once in their … Continue reading Why you should work for a top tier tech company at least once

Game Engine Black Book: Doom . By Fabien Sanglard. 429 pages. Doom. The game that popularized the term “deathmatch”. The game that made modding accessible to millions of players. The game that killed productivity across thousands of offices around the world. It wasn’t the first first-person shooter (for example, Doom’s developer id Software had released Wolfenstein 3D just a year prior) but it was the game that put the genre on the map. F....

Introduction In the previous post , you saw how you can use tools to add information to an LLM query. In this post, we’ll see another method of adding information to an LLM called RAG , or Retrieval-Augmented Generation. The idea of RAG is that you want the LLM to have access to information that wasn’t available to it when it was initially trained. You do it by storing documents in your own database along with their embedding . I won’..

i’ve been on reddit ever since i can remember. it showed me the beauty in community with people i’ve never actually met. r/me_irl was one of those communities. me_irl was a subreddit where people would just post screenshots of posts from other platforms that where “selfies of the soul”. it ranged from depressing to hopeful, but it consistently was honest. i found home in that subreddit for nearly a decade. but over the past two years, it ha....

There were two issues getting all the gears in my blogging setup working again after a few months of not posting. Both related to the social media auto-poster Github action workflow that runs every day to post links to various social medias to new posts on the blog. Bluesky and Mastodon still worked perfectly, but Nostr and Twitter were both erroring. I figured out the Nostr error quite quickly. Looks like some of the relays I had been us....

The Run is yet another FMV game (developed in Unity) - I know, I know, I keep not being impressed by most FMV games, but I keep giving them a chance. Deep inside me is a secret hope that one day, we will get a FMV game that will be genuinely amazing. And honestly, as a kid living in the 90s, we got pretty close at some point. The CD-ROM multimedia (lol already cringy at the time) revolution brought FMV games front and center, and while the ....
