It’s important to pause and reflect every so often to stay grounded and focused. So, each December I look back on the year’s events and summarize them in a blog post. And after doing this again this year, I realize that 2024 was one of reflection, gratitude, and exploration. I was fortunate enough to go on some epic winter hiking adventures with my dog Pepper in January before she passed away in February at the age of 13. Losing a dog i..

It’s been a while since I have written one of these. There’s definitely a cadence to these. That cadence would be something between once and thrice a year. 2024 will have to make with just one. I have spent a bit of time understanding the ggwave project, which allows for sending data over sound. It’s not an extremely complicated protocol. I think the most difficult part to understand is the Reed-Solomon error correction, which is still ..

This was my first “proper” weekend in the new place. Yesterday morning I met with a friend from my writing group at Himlen Är Blå Som En Apelsin - a really cozy cafe that is a two minute walk from my apartment.

I just realized today that I haven’t updated VSCode on my Mac in almost a year. It turns out that if you install any program through Nix, its version is determined by the version of nixpkgs in your flake.lock file. To update nixpkgs and get newer versions of all your programs, cd into the directory with your flake and run nix flake update. It’s the pacman -Syu of nix!

Happy Saturday! After sending off last week’s installment I finally finished up and published part 3 of my Nix-on-macOS series . This was sitting in my drafts folder for a long while and I’m happy to have gotten it out there. I have some more ideas for posts in the series to write, but I also want to start thinking about other series and topics I can explore. Writing on writing Always. Be. Blogging.

Spices have shaped human civilization, driving exploration, trade, and culinary innovation for millennia. Today, I'm excited to introduce SpiceNice, a comprehensive open-source database that brings structured information about culinary spices and their source plants to everyone – from professional chefs to home cooks, botanists to farmers. A section on free literature about spices completes the website.

What are common issues with using notebooks for Python development? How do you know the current state, share reproducible results, or create interactive applications? This week on the show, we speak with Akshay Agrawal about the open-source reactive marimo notebook for Python.

Although I love talking with people—whether it’s having deep chats or just exchanging simple hellos—initiating communication has never been my strong suit. Most of the time, I’ve remained passive in first interactions. However, whenever someone else took the first step, I always did my best to keep the conversation lively and meaningful. After moving back to Japan recently and settling in the countryside, I’ve started noticing the power o....

I've started hacking on a new open source CLI tool I'm calling t2x, short for "text to whatever". It uses language models (local and in the cloud) to perform useful text operations.

Today I went to a paper discussion about resultant moral luck. I did not know this would be a roundtable discussion. I thought it’d be a lecture. But it was even better!

Ruby: Use flamegraphs to investigate GraphQL performance issues

GraphQL can throw up some surprising N+1 style performance issues in Ruby on Rails. Usually this come up as “Why is this particular GraphQL query so slow?” Here I’m going to talk through using a Query Analyzer , StackProf and Speedscope to find out what is slowing down that query so you can fix it. What are we hunting? Well N+1’s typically look something like this 👇 on a flamegraph. Rails is doing an something.each { |x| x..

I have a soft spot for poetry. That is what poems are for - sentimental musings and meditative cogitation. These are perennial features of humanity, and well worth the time. As we find ourselves in interesting times , the gap between reality and the narrative of progress is growing, and applied human intelligence (aka "technology") is "disrupting" (aka changing without full context) many things. Where does this leave the poet? M....

Fly.io Postgres failover fix (flyctl pg failover) This is a note to myself, meant to be succinct and helpful. I’m sharing it publicly to save others time. Most of the time Fly.io works as I expect it to, but occasionally there are edge cases that lack documentation, public announcements, or both. It’s possible that at some point Fly.io announced a breaking change and I missed it, but the behavior I observed deserves more than an announ....

Hetzner raises prices This morning I received an email from Hetzner stating that they are raising prices in the US while significantly reducing bandwidth. The largest price percentage increase is 27.52% for CPX21 servers, and the smallest is 4.17% for CX3+ servers. Bandwidth allotments are decreasing on average, across all products, 88.19% from previous allotments. I’ve been a big fan of Hetzner. Unfortunately they’ve made ....
