Because millions of their future wives. sisters. cousins and schoolmates have been brutally raped. their vaginas shredded with knives and infected with multiple diseases by Muslim gangs.

The Worst Thing - andyjohnson.uk - 3 months ago - eng
Nick Cave on the worst thing about becoming a really old rockstar. Which, it turns out, is just one variation on the worst thing about anything that goes on a while. Nicely written though.
The End of the Beginning# I wrote the last post as I was getting ready to ship the new design. I ran into a devil of a problem that I would be entirely remiss if I didn’t mention it here. As I was going through the pages in the site with Hugo server running locally, I noticed that there was one slight problem with a couple of pages on the site. In light mode, the background was white. The rest of the site had a nicely warm off-whi..
i miss the old me irl 19 Apr, 2026 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 subreddi..
Worktrees and workspaces are one of the best ways to work across multiple branches simultaneously — and they’re especially powerful when pairing with AI coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor, where you might spin up a fresh workspace per task or conversation to keep things isolated and clean. The friction point: ignored files don’t carry over. Your .env, .env.local, API keys, local config — none of it comes with you. Every new ..
At dawn the city clears its throat, windows blinking into light, and pigeons stitch the air with wings like commas in a sentence waking up. I walk with questions in my pockets, loose change of maybes and whys, each step a quiet rehearsal for courage I haven’t spent yet. A river of faces flows past me, mirrors carrying borrowed skies; I learn how to read the weather by the way strangers hold their hands. Some..
Raspberry provide an example I2S output PIO program. I needed simultaneous input and output, so I adapted their program for that. Code at the end of the post. The default I2S program has output like this: We want this: To do this we need INs as well as OUTs. We can’t squeeze that into existing cycle count, so we run this PIO program 2x as fast as raspberry’s output-only program would run for the same sample rate. That means o..

I’m excited to be joining OpenAI’s Developer Experience team to help grow and support the developer community. There has been a common thread throughout my career: Back in 2016, that looked like delivering coding courses for women at the university I studied at. It was not only about teaching them how to code their first websites, but showing them what careers could be possible and how the ideas in their heads could become real wi..
In part 1 we covered the history of Prestel and Prism, and in part 2 we cracked open the VTX5000 to examine the hardware. Now how did they squeeze a viewdata terminal app into 8KB... The ROM Map The 8K ROM at $0000-$1FFF is packed tight: A whopping 4K of the ROM is a BASIC program we'll get to in a minute and half a KB goes on that SAA5050-like 8x5 font and another half-KB on a Micronet 800 splash screen. That leaves jus..
In Knuth we see the following diagram of a ping pong tournament. (section 5.2.3, Fig 22). Any sport works here really, the important thing is that when two people or teams compete the idea is that the best one will win. We will be dealing with sorting unchanging records so the analogy is not perfect. If Chris beats Pat on Sunday, he may still lose to Pat on Monday, but we can ignore that for the purposes of the algorithm. The result of..
Users of modern versions of Windows 11 have a powerful security feature for keeping their devices secure, known as Smart App Control. I’ve talked about this feature a few times over the last year, but in April 2026, a powerful improvement landed. Previously, Smart App Control could not be turned back on if you ever turned it off. That limitation has been removed in Windows 11 version 25H2 (Windows Security App v1000.29554+), making the..
Today Arun wrote a blog post describing an AI-enhanced writing process which got me thinking about writing in general. The following is a response which I hope can create a respectful and thoughtful discussion about the nature of writing and our responsibility as humans when it comes to embracing these tools to create work meant to be read by others. I want to start with some disclaimers: I am not interested in reading AI writing, and ..
The below is transcribed from a 1991 talk by John Cleese titled Creativity in Management. I encourage you to watch the 30-minute recording on YouTube. The delivery is hilarious with great comedic timing that my transcript can’t begin to do justice. I edited the transcript for brevity, and added headings and links. What creativity isn’t A couple of years ago I got very excited because a friend of mine, who runs the psychology depar..

🎲 Identity crisis - netwert.com - 3 months ago - eng
Identity crisis I’m at the waiting room at the doctor’s office. It’s a big space, the entryway to a health center, maybe 50 feet long with lots of couches. I’m sitting at the far end, one of around ten people waiting for their appointments. A nurse comes out from a door on the other end of the waiting room and calls the next patient. “David?” All ten people look at her. I stand up. So does the man across from me, and another ..
2025 was an amazing year for me, and I hope it was great for you too! I thought it would be cool to compile my 2025 highlights in a more personal blog post. This, just like many parts of this website, was inspired by Tania Rascia. Offline I finally moved to Belo Horizonte, the state capital. That’s something I was planning for so long. I’m in love with the neighborhood I live in, and with having trees outside my office window..
I Finally Understand Nostalgia 27 Mar, 2026 I grew up with Harry Potter. I was roughly the same age as Harry at the time of the book releases, which meant there was a lot I could identify with. I visualized Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and all the other magical places in my head while reading, and watched them come to life in the movies a few years later. I remember summer holidays where my parents wanted to go on d..
This weekend was OggCamp 2026, a community run conference on open source, open data, and open culture. I always find OggCamp a bit hard to define, as it covers a mix of very techy talks (talks on new languages, devops tools, etc.), has a strong societal impact focus (the UK's Open Rights Group are there every year), and increasingly welcoming to where technology intersects with art and design. Add to that there's usually a mix of both hardw..
The Big Idea: Georgia Summers Writing a novel doesn’t just involve sitting hunched over a computer typing away for hours, sometimes it involves wandering through Nordic forests that feel a little spooky, but also extremely magical. Author Georgia Summers went on a journey to craft her newest novel, Trollheim: Tale of Sýstir. Tag along through her Big Idea to see the forest and all it holds. GEORGIA SUMMERS: I’ve found that th..
I've had this idea for a while. People have wanted a place to be social with their Twitch community, and since Elon purchased Twitter, the communities have split. A lot of people left Twitter and moved to Threads or Bluesky. Many streamers have stayed on Twitter because companies are still posting potential opportunities. I left Twitter, but I see opportunities show up that I wish I could apply to. I created a new account, just for tho..

The year is 2025. You’re writing tests for networking code in your Swift app. You could hit the live API, but then your tests are slow, flaky, and fail whenever that third-party service has a bad day. You could stub URLSession, but then you’re maintaining two implementations of your networking layer. You could maintain JSON fixtures by hand, but there’s no way to capture real response… This random indieblog.p..
This has spoilers for MIT Mystery Hunt 2026. Spoilers are not labeled or hidden. Mystery Hunt is a funny time of year. Your friends and family know you’re traveling to Boston in the middle of winter, and that it’s a big event of some kind, but they don’t quite understand how big it is, how much people plan for it, and how much time goes into creating it. Although Hunt ostensibly takes place over a weekend, I find it takes up mi..
