I finally got round to publishing a version 1.0 of my long-running hobby project: a bootable DOS live USB image with tools for writers, providing a distraction-free writing environment. https:// github.com/lproven/usb-dos This is very rushed and the instructions are incomplete. Only FAT16 for now; FAT32 coming real soon now. comments

2024 has come and gone, and with it another big set of milestones for the family. From trips to the ER, to flights to Asia, to college visits, this has been one for the books -- or at least, for the annual blog post...

This image is taken with a (60 year old) Bronica C medium format camera, with a (120 year old) Petzval-type lens. This camera is not only beautiful in a vintage car sort of way, but is also uniquely suited for adapting old lenses on medium format. On a typical camera, the lens houses the helicoid, the mechanical corkscrew-like part that moves the optics closer and further away from the subject allowing you to focus properly. On the ....

The real heart of the demonstration app, is something that we didn’t cover at all, in the tutorial. That’s the Data Model for the app, which is in the DataProvider.swift structural type. It’s a fairly basic type, that consumes some CSV (Comma-Separated-Values) data, and formats it into a configuration that can drive the chart. The ... Read more

Coming many years from now… the even more confusing sequel to Iteration II and Hovertank ! Unit of Time takes a more advanced approach than Iteration II . You’re always free to rewind time, and everything is completely deterministic in all directions and dimensions. Time travel events fork a new timeline, which may have their own surprises. Paradoxes can be made, broken and fixed again. Oh, and you’re not the only agent able to ma..

You are deep in a piece of work and making great progress when a phone call or message breaks you train of thought and derails you. Context switching can have a huge impact on productivity.

My most used command-line commands: 5180 git 777 cd 653 ls 452 go 440 ./invoice 377 dotnet 373 rm 270 vi 225 cat 219 ssh Version control dominates the scene (a gentle middle finger for the youngster - you know who you are - who told me I should not be coding anymore). I also like that the list hints at the new stuff I’ve been working on recently and am excited about.

Happy New Year!

Wonderful in itself, but the popular platforms are fairly erm unfriendly to their readers. These days, search results might lead you to an interesting blog p....

This is a followup to Today I Learned 2021 , Today I Learned 2022 and Today I Learned 2023 . As a reminder, these are serendipitous discoveries rather than the result of a dedicated search for new knowledge. Looking back, many are from places I’ve visited or major news stories, although the ones which appear a bit random must have been related to something I was doing at the time. 5 Feb 2024: A sapiophile is someone who is primarily ..

The first quarter elapsed. Much happened. Much didn’t. We-who-are-reading-this-right-now are perhaps a bit bruised, disheveled, a little worse for the wear, and horribly hung over. But alive. Except you, Mx. LLM. Who knows what’s next?

Virtue Ethics for Animal Rights Activists - A Practical Approach to Becoming a Better Activist

I previously posted about identity being key to self-improvement. However, the identity of “animal rights activist” is broad. Having the identity of being an animal rights activist is easier said than done. Using virtues, we can break down identity into distinct features that are easier to understand and implement.

Why are hobbyist 21st century 8-bit computers so constrained?

I learned about a new DIY machine to me, the Cody Computer . It looks kind of fun, but once again, it does make me wonder why it’s so constrained. Extremely low-res graphics, for instance. TBH I would have sneered at this for being low-end when I was about 13 years old. (Shortly before I got my first computer, a 48K ZX Spectrum.) Why isn’t anyone trying to make an easy home-build high-end eight-bit? Something that really pushes t....

I’m determined to make a tradition of this, which is why I find myself in an empty office on New Years Eve trying to remember what’s gone by these last twelve months. I ended “Looking back at 2023” saying “brace for impact” which I had thought meant I was prepared for this year, but in retrospect I wasn’t even close. It’s a common story in start-ups to say “thank god that’s over, next year will be easier!” and be repeatedly wrong, but 2....

jq is an incredibly versatile tool for parsing JSON from the command line. This snippet describes how to use it filter based on the presence (or absence) of a substring within a JSON object's attribute. It also describes how to use a regular expression to extract that substring with an example of printing to a CSV. Read more…

I read 100 books this year as a challenge to myself. The hardest part about reading 100 books in a year is fomatting them cleanly afterward on your website. The second hardest part is tracking them all. The actual activity is a cinch. Reading 100 books this year was directly inspired from stories of Theodore Roosevelt, who read one book a day, often multiple. The thing I’ve learned about reading serious literature in quantity is that most..
