If you want to understand time — which is how you come to befriend life — turn to stone. Climb a mountain and listen to the conversation between eons encoded in each stripe of rock. Walk a beach and comb your fingers through the golden dust that was once a mountain. Pick up a perfect oval pebble and feel its mute assurance that time can grind down even the heaviest boulder, and smooth even the sharpest edge.

Did you know that Halo 5 had an entire API endpoint that defined the Spartan Rank progression? You do now - here is what it had inside.
In reply to S Rose. Thanks, great catch. It would have been impressive for anyone to have written a whole book about Evacuation Day within a month of the evacuation. I fixed the typo. (Article link: https://thenewleafjournal.com/history-of-new-yorks-evacuation-day/)

Whre you write "My main source in this article is a 1783 book written by James Riker titled Evacuation Day." I think you meant to write "My main source in this article is a 1883 book written by James Riker titled Evacuation Day, 1783.'
In today's episode Mo and I talk about various oopsies that happened recently with Cloudflare and AWS. How Rust Evangelism Strike Force is on high alert after a wild .unwrap() has brought down half the internet again... From there the conversation flows into how to prevent such terrible
Everytime I go to a waiting room and am subjected to the background noise of daytime TV, I'm baffled by how insipid and obnoxious every second of it is. Who is this for? Why do they still bother? Even the old people in these waiting rooms just look at their phone. Silence, or some nice music, would be infinitely preferable. Are there seriously still people who sit down and watch this commercial laced junk, as an activity in itself? Even in ..
With Bitcoin recent big draw down of course lots of people talking about Michael Saylor and his Bitcoin treasury company Strategy. They have rebranded slightly from Microstrategy, now called just Strategy. I have been trying to sort the signal from the noise, which isn't all that obvious. Saylor posted a chart in the past few days on Twitter that is kind of interesting. It shows the weekly volumes of Bitcoin backed credit, showing that ....

With all the medium-to-very-low-quality productions we’ve been accustomed to from Netflix, it was a pleasant surprise and a relief to watch Train Dreams last night. I’ll quote the most recent review on IMDb: Robert’s life is gently lived and not without profound tragedy. The film evokes our own memories, little joys and sadnesses, discoveries, losses, and hopes, bringing grace to our self-reflection. The film is heartbreakingly beau..

I Am Not Yours - nicolaiarocci.com - 10 months ago - eng
I was walking early this morning, as usual , when I came across an unusual advertising sign. It was in Spanish, text only, red background and black typography. I don’t comprehend Spanish well enough to read it, so I photographed it and sent it to Serena, who promptly replied with the translation. Embarrassingly, just yesterday, I got a severe reprimand from Serena because I did not know or remember what day it was today. When I got back,..

This post breaks down the key drawbacks of SageMaker Feature Store that teams often encounter when scaling ML workflows. By understanding these limitations early, you can make more informed architectural decisions and avoid unnecessary complexity later on.
In my previous post, I showed you how to build a CI/CD pipeline runner from scratch in Python . We built something powerful: a system that could orchestrate jobs, manage dependencies, and pass artifacts between stages. It was the muscles of your deployment workflow. But here’s the problem: that pipeline runner can only do exactly what you tell it to do. It’s 2 AM. Your deployment pipeline fails. The error message is cryptic: Error: Con....
On-premises rasterization is now available on all platforms with Server! Serve modern maps from any operating system to legacy systems that are up to 20 years old.
I occasionally add context instructions to an AI tool, but then am not sure whether those changes were picked up by the tool. The fun way to debug this is to add “Always speak like a pirate” to the instructions. This works in all tools. Context engineering! Context I use LLM tools like Claude Code. These come with the ability to customise the context fed to the model with files like ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md or /CLAUDE.md, which can ....

The story that the Python micro web framework Flask started as an April Fool’s joke is well known in Python circles, but it was nice to see it told by Armin Ronacher himself 1 . I’m fond of Flask. It was a breath of fresh air when it came out, and most of my Python open-source work is based on it. The video is produced by the people who also authored the remarkable Python: The Documentary .  ↩︎
