Just a few days ago I discovered that there was a cassette drive made for consumer PCs and I think that is pretty cool. However, it is no longer produced and cannot be bought anywhere, so I thought how cool would it be if people got together to reverse engineer it and make an open source version of it. I know it would be complicated as hell and all, but that is not the point. What got me thinking is how much it is like kicking dead whales d..

While the study of textbooks has proven fruitful in the study of the history of mathematics, there has been little attention to computing books and their role on the development of computer science, the computer industry, and public understanding. Working to close this gap, W. Patrick McCray has written README , a “book about books about computing.” (pg 3) The scope is “a history of computing writ large as seen through the histories of a l....

Why do Xorg keybindings stop working when a menu is open? Even opening a “File” menu in GIMP and the like disable all keybindings of i3 and sxhkd. This does not bother me, I just want to know why it is like this.

Nick Nisi and I ran an 80-minute hands-on workshop at AI Engineering London on building Claude Code skills that are portable, executable, and composable. We taught constraints over instructions, evidence over guesses, and measurement over vibes.

Excerpt In complex, long-running agentic systems, maintaining alignment and coherent reasoning between agents requires careful design. In this second article of our series, we explore these challenges and the mechanisms we built to keep teams of agents working productively over long time spans. We present a range of complementary techniques that balance the conflicting requirements…

In reply to Eric Rizzo. The purpose of the
orderByCreatedOn method is to demonstrate the Specification composability. While you can use a Pageable to supply the Ordering criteria, composability is much more powerful and goes beyond the provided example.

This was once a good idea: you and your colleagues would set up an optional time to collaborate or just connect over something lighter. An ad-hoc game hour, or a lecture or an industry topic, or a happy hour, or a standing mastermind. If something came up, you could scrub. Folks appreciated the chance to decompress a bit before heading home for the weekend. We should’ve caught on to this being an anti-pattern years ago; it should’ve been ....

The funny thing about safety blankets is they can double as stage curtains for security theater. “When will a cryptography-relevant quantum computer exist?” is a question many technologists are pondering as they stare into crystal balls or entrails. Two people I admire recently made a public long bet about that question, with a $5000 donation […]

I went hunting for references to the OEIS in open source code, and found some weird ones. There are not one, but two live-coding music frameworks that use OEIS sequences as a source for “anything that can be sequenced” in music. I’m guessing that’s used for choosing pseudorandom melodies, interesting rhythyms, or how to overlap tracks in different ways. The first project is called mercury, which is advertised as having “an extensive library..
