Soy muy aficionado a probar todo lo que encuentro en la tienda de golosinas local. Procuro no comprar mucho porque al final no es algo que vaya muy bien para la salud, pero al menos hago la prueba. Golosinas preferidas Regaliz. Me encanta el regaliz. El negro, el rojo, e incluso uno azul que acabo de descubrir. Me...
Welcome to the 84th issue of De Programmatica Ipsum, about Spreadsheets. In this edition: We declare spreadsheets the most popular software programming environment of all time. In the Library section, we learn how to use Lotus 1-2-3 for science reading “Spreadsheet Physics” by Charles Misner and Patrick Cooney. In...
It’s almost the end of August and I’ve not made a post for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. The child has been on summer holiday, which leads to not much solo thinking time. Marisabel picked an excellent topic which I should have a lot to say about: Colors. Unfortunately my sleep deprived mind struggles to think […]
TL;DR The Bash language server is easy to install and has support for shfmt which in turn has support for Editorconfig settings. For shell scripts without extensions, Editorconfig is no good, except if you use shfmt's special support in the form of [[shell]] or [[bash]] section globs. But that's non-standard, and...
muliama posted a response to my blogpost. it's a great read and i hope their shot at creating a better slowly succeeds.
These are my minimalist themes. They use few colours and will appear mostly monochromatic in many contexts. Styles involve the careful use of typography, such as italics and bold italics. If you want maximalist themes in terms of colour, check my ef-themes package. For something in-between, which I would consider...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. Books I read, games I played, things I watched in August 2025. Do we have similar tastes, or will you be questioning how we ever got connected? Let's find out! Media Notes: August 2025, by Guy LeCharles Gonzalez, was originally posted on As in guillotine....
Photo by Natasha Hartano The annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers is fast approaching! Scheduled for mid-October in Brazil, hundreds of Internet scholars (like me!) will convene to do what we do: share cat pictures.
A review of Leo Marx's thought to look at American views of technology, progress, and morality.
Well dear friends, and friends I have yet to meet, today is the last day of August — which means it is also the final day of the blogging challenge #blaugust. The aim was to encourage participants to blog more often, and if possible every day in August. Well, I did it. 31 days, 31 posts. I blog often these days, so...
I’m fascinated by photographers using film cameras, guitarists on plain old tube amps, authors writing books with pencil on paper, and the list goes on. The same goes for Vim (and Neovim) for programmers. It's very pure and inspiring to watch. However, I have found that I am more of a "convenience-over-purism"-type...
Despite my best efforts, notification culture still permeates through every facet of my life. What we call “asynchronous” communication rarely is, not when the pull to react is immediate and insistent. From work, I’ve trained myself to send an acknowledgment first, a kind of placeholder reply, just so no one is ever...
Tigris makes data globally available, durable, and low-latency using a hybrid replication approach that pushes metadata but pulls data on-demand. This talk explains their approach to simplifying global data replication.
By the time he published Vues des Cordillères, et monumens des peuples indigènes de l’Amérique, Alexander von Humboldt (September 14, 1769–May 6, 1859), barely in his forties, was the world’s most eminent and polymathic naturalist (the word scientist was yet to be coined). Napoleon hated him for his impassioned...
Spellcheck in Emacs on OS X Mavericks with MacPorts The MacPorts Project provides thousands of ports that greatly simplify the task of compiling and installing open-source software on a Mac. It is easy to install MacPorts. Once MacPorts is installed, it only takes a few commands to install and upgrade software...
Rating: ⭐ Type: Non-Fiction This was a great read as a physicist. The book was written with quite a high level of assumed knowledge, so if thermodynamics sounds like a scary word, I might suggest reading something more accessible. For me though, the premise was very interesting and prompted me to go and read a...

Blaugust 2025 My contribution to the yearly festival of blogging I love the creative process of writing and I enjoy tinkering with this website. In addition, the social activities and challenges are among my favourite aspect of participating in the personal web. I had first heard about somewhere in July, but I’m...
Special Edition — Colors TL;DR:Purple is my color. This blog post has approximately 301 words and may take 2 minutes to read. This post was submitted as part of the Indieweb Carnival for August 2025, hosted by Marisabel Munoz, under the theme "Colors." When I was a child, I didn't have a favorite color. I'd answer...
English on this site. Français sur linuxfr.org Hoy en día cada vez más gente está harta de todos los excesos y abusos que se sufren en la World Wide Web. Cuando salió "al público" en 1993, la web, era un sistema para publicar y compartir documentos con hyperenlaces. Treinta años después ha pasado a ser un hervidero...

Hace tres semanas que nos vinimos de Reino Unido.Han sido meses difíciles, porque si nunca es fácil mudarse, menos aún cuando te vas de un país tras un tiempo bastante largo. Mucha logística, mucho hacer planes que nunca salen como quieres, muchas (muchas) cajas… más la extrañeza de deshacerte de cosas tan...
A melancholy anniversary today – that of the death, in 1997, of Diana, Princess of Wales. I remember lying in bed that night, dozing and following the barely believable story as it unfolded on the BBC World Service. It was clear from the start that the BBC had got their response wrong and had hugely underestimated...
31 days of blogging, in the bag. It was pretty easy for about the first 20 days. After that, I ran out of ideas. It’s why I’ve talked about blogging for the last four days. I had, at one point during that first 20 days thought: “Oh, I’m going to write every day until the end of the year!” Yeah, that’s not going to...
Currently, “AI agents” like Claude Code are all the rage for software development. These programs facilitate feeding context into LLMs directly from your codebase and environment by empowering the LLM to read/write files and run arbitrary code on your system. If you’re at all security conscious, the above should...
Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases)...
