Wouldn’t it be nice to pull out the key ideas and action points from a book you have just read or are considering purchasing? Maybe get a reminder of the story line of a fiction book you read years ago?

In a New Year’s resolution-driven attempt to un-Microsoft-ify my life , I’m moving all of my repositories over from GitHub (owned by Microsoft) to sourcehut (owned by some dude ). This blog was the first repo to make the switch and was previously hosted via GitHub Pages, and now uses sourcehut pages instead. Here’s the config I created to make the CI-driven deployment work:

My 2018 resolution was simple. Blog once a week. 2025 is over and I've been blogging weekly for 7 years.
Reviewing the months that were at The New Leaf Journal (and sister sistes) in November and December 2025.
I’ve always been curious, how do you and your team at REVSYS prioritize what to work on? Obviously client work pays the bills, but your team has been heavily involved in the Python and Django community for years, either serving on boards/working groups/committees/etc or helping maintain a myriad of open source libraries and helpful community sites. I figure each person has a certain level of autonomy to prioritize, but do ya'll have somethi..

Unbridled Enthusiasm Year 2004. It's my first year of university. I just started studying computer science and software engineering. I know nothing about the field. I only got my first computer 2 years ago. I was a geeky kid, but not a computer geeky one. Few months into my studies I'm sitting at the lecture. During the break I talk to my classmate about computers - I know very little since I didn't have them growing up and my family cou....

If you think about emails as if they’re anything but the digital equivalent of a postcard–that is to say, postcards provide zero confidentiality–then someone lied to you and I’m sorry you had to find out from a furry blog that sometimes talks about applied cryptography. At the end of 2025, at the 39th Chaos Communications […]
I have come to greatly value the last words and wisdom of a thoughtful person who is on the brink of eternity. My good friend Bob passed these notes on to me a few weeks before he died.
Happy New Year folks! Here’s what I read in 2025. Hope you find a gem or two for your lists. (Previous issues: 2024, 2023) Non-fiction The Ascent of Money – Niall Ferguson A convincing case that finance shaped the modern world pretty much at every turn, starting with the financialisation of wars, colonisation, industrialisation, and […]
Belatedly posting a few notes on the first history of Nvidia; amazingly none had been written before this one coming which came out in December 2024. We’d all heard the stories of Huang’s intensity, 50+ direct reports, etc. but stories of the relentless execution and risk-taking is really the stuff of legends, and this was […]

At this time of year, it is customary to write down New Year's resolutions. However, this time I didn't want to dream the impossible, but rather retrace my steps over the last five years, understand where I come from and where I am going, and, above
Have you ever tried a casino strategy and felt confident at first, then wondered why results feel different over time? Have you heard people talk about special systems that promise steady success and thought about how that really works? Many players think about this because strategies sound smart and organized, but understanding the long-term picture […] The post Why Casino Strategies Cannot Beat the House Long-Term appeared first on I..
When I was starting out with guitar the first pieces I learned were Classical ones. At the time I was very influenced by Bach, even learning to play some of his pieces (Bach created a lot of music for the Lute – a cousin of the guitar). Back then my dream was to get an … Continue reading "I used AI to play my Classical composition" The post I used AI to play my Classical composition appeared first on Circus Scientist .
In Day 10, we explored the Process Manager pattern for tracking workflow state over time. But what happens when things go wrong? How do you undo distributed work that’s already been committed? Today we dive into the Saga pattern: distributed transactions with compensation. Saga: When “Undo” Actually Works This pattern kept coming up in my research, and I’ll admit: I initially thought “Saga” was just a fancy name for “try/catch with cleanup.
Apologies for the long delay between posts, the new year kicked off extremely busy! Previously in Day 9, we explored the Routing Slip pattern, where messages carry their own itinerary. Each node was designed to route the message to the next destination based on the content of the routing slip and we had a small discussion about whether or not this was a form of choreography or orchestration since the route was computed up front.
I had a chat with Greg Cochran (GitHub) , Christian Grobmeier (log4j) , Michael Geers (evcc) , and Camila Maia (ScanAPI) about the GitHub Secure OpenSource Fund . It was recorded at the last day of GitHub Universe 2025.
The Itch # MeTube is a neat self-hosted YouTube downloader with a clean web UI. Paste a link, pick your format, hit download. Simple. Except YouTube decided that simple things shouldn’t stay simple. At some point, downloads started failing with the lovely “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” message. Classic. YouTube’s bot detection had gotten stricter, the web is not fun anymore. On top of that, I wanted my downloaded videos t....
2025 was one full challenge and change for all of us. As the long tail of home renovation efforts from 2024 wrapped up, we started thinking seriously about selling the house. With college drawing close for Ben, the allure of a smaller house, with less maintenance and more freedom to travel, combined with current market…
I recently performed an overdue Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade on a few machines and as with past upgrades , I had to fix a few things after the fact. As usual, I keep any backports of packages I make for myself in my noble PPA . AppArmor fix for Brave Beta & Nightly I had to modify the brave AppArmor profile in /etc/apparmor.d/brave in order to enable proper sandboxing in Brave Beta & Nightly .

It allows you to share tabs, history and bookmarks between browsers on different devices (though, frustratingly, it doesn't sync settings or extension config ).

I’ve never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There’s a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition....
