I think that there is a serious issue in how non-fiction books (as well as scientific articles) are distributed. Readers of books have no means to verify integrity of books. A book is a product, and each product has metrics of success: 1. count of distributed copies 2. amount of money earned 3. familiarity of population with the ideas within the book 4. acceptance of population the ideas within the book 5. recognisability of the title ....

Thank you for this small by useful hint. I was having exactly this problem, in Assembly, whenever I had odd size text data in the PROGMEM. Cheers, Norm.

The Block, a home renovation/construction competition TV show from Australia, is for my money the most compelling reality series. It’s full of melodrama and obviously over the top behavior from the contestants but because there are so many episodes (generally at least 45 and often 60+) per season you get so much more of the … Continue reading The Block (Australia)

It has been over a year since I released Voyage of the Marigold, my similar-but-completely-legally-distinct homage to old-school Star Trek - high time for a retrospective post mortem. This post...

It’s become exhausting how many different ways I have to remember to make a link in editors: Select text, ⌘-K, paste link Select text, paste link over top Type [markdown](link syntax) ... Of course, these are all mutually independent, so half the time I try one, hit ⌘-Z, then try again. Anyhow. Gripe.

I’ve been doing “agentic coding” for some time, and well, it’s weird. On stable, mature technology (in my case, the C#/.NET stack), it is beneficial, as it significantly boosts productivity. But, there’s a bit, and that’s that I’m not programming anymore, or very little now, and I love coding. I love entering “the zone” and solving complex problems, one at a time. It’s always been my superpower. Will I still have fun in the future now tha..

The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile. – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi ( via )

Table of Contents What I Use AI For What I Do Not Use AI For When you read a post on this site, you can be sure it is an original article, written by a human: me. My goal is to share unique (in any case, personal), and hopefully innovative perspectives, based on my own work and experience. Large language models (LLMs) are not going to give you that. I don’t see much value in publishing articles written by an LLM; after all, you could just r..

tl;dr I migrated from a Raspberry Pi 5 to a mini PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 6600H with PCIe 4.0 x4 — running my full monitoring stack: Grafana, Prometheus, Mimir, Promtail, and Loki. After BIOS-level optimizations, the system now consumes just 10–12W at idle. The entire stack runs on Alpine Linux directly on bare metal — no Docker, no virtual machines. The configuration remained unchanged: no data loss, and no major reconfiguration w..

Quick shout-out to Consent-O-Matic ( Chrome , Firefox , Safari , Edge ). It automatically clicks through all the silly “consent” banners. Per EU law, every website must ask me for my consent to get stabbed . Er, I mean, tracked . Naturally, I would prefer to be able make my preference on this matter extremely clear to all websites, applications, and vendors - but apparently, this remains a debatable matter . I feel powerless..

Have you noticed that bubbles in conventional beers go up, but that they apparently go down in stout beers? This goes against conventional wisdom, but is quite simply explained in the end: there is a convection due to the shape of the glass. Larger at the top leads to an
