The very first Kyoto Morning Tech & Coffee is a wrap! I'm looking forward to doing more of these soon.Here’s a roundup of the links that came up in conversation so you can dig deeper:AI + Coding ToolsOpenAI Codex IDE: AI-assisted coding directly in your editor.See also: Roo Code and Co-pilot.Codex Output Demo: A...
I have been having issues with one of my BTRFS pools on Unraid, it keeps locking up and then becoming unmountable. I think I may know the root cause, but not sure yet. The last time that this happened I had to use --repair, but it doesn't quite work through …
I am a somewhat productive person. I do my job, I do it well. But I’m also a procrastinator of the highest order. If it can wait, then I will wait to do it. But I’m also very interested in not being such a person. I’d love to one day be one of those people who have a todo list that actually gets done every single...
De la mystification de la Grande Idée et de la négation de l’expérience Festival Hypermondes à Mérignac Je dédicacerai ce samedi 20 et dimanche 21 septembre à Mérignac, dans le cadre du festival Hypermondes. Je participe également à une table ronde le dimanche. Et pour tout vous dire, j’ai sacrément le trac, car je...
Hey, stuff’s happening and it’s generally feeling okay. Hopefully posting about positivity won’t jinx it.
I removed Instagram from my phone two weeks ago. Well, all social apps, but Instagram is the main one for me. I didn’t stop using it, though. Now that they have an iPad app, I installed it there. The idea is to intentionally use it whenever I want to check or post something, instead of defaulting to it every time I...
Slowly catching up on my RSS feed and I just read Dave's post “Why would anybody start a website?”. Obviously, Dave's post is right up my street but it reminded me of a random notes post on my phone that I wrote a while back. Why build a website? Why knit a jumper with your bare hands? Why cook a homemade meal from...
There was a time where I used to wear the same shirt every day but it got boring kinda quickly so now I don't
This is the seventh post of My Top 100 Tracks When Patti Smith has come up in conversations in the past and people have said 'Oh, yeah, Because the Night, I love that song', I've always felt superior and sneery. It's her most commercially successful song, but she wrote lots of other great ones, less poppy and...
Last night I had a typically convoluted dream, of which, mercifully, I remember only one brief moment. A character rather like Sheldon Cooper (from that excellent sitcom The Big Bang Theory) is in a bit of a spin, frantically looking for something. 'Where is my Practical Misfit magazine?' he wails. Perhaps it's just...
This is a now page. If you have a blog, you should make one too. It’s been a while that I wrote about things that are ongoing. Not because nothing is going on. Mainly because I’ve been busy with work and life. I’m married now. I bought a house. Busy times! House 🏡 # Last year, we moved into a house near Hanover, the...
A few years ago I published a post about aliases, one of which I set up to allow me to SSH into a shared web server. Someone shared that post to Hacker News, so naturally the gaping flaws in my understanding of both aliases and SSH came to light. One piece of feedback I got was that my alias "sshchuck" was...
When a pursuit becomes a drag, here's some questions to help you figure out why, and what to do about it.
Don’t you love when your customisations clash? I find it hilarious. Let’s say you have this in your clipboard: One Two Three FourYou paste that into Neovim and want to turn that into a numbered list. So into visual block mode and shift+i to insert 1. at the start of each line giving: 1. One 1. Two 1. Three 1. FourAt...
... I knew this would be weird. And part of me hoped for a romantic plot. But ok... maybe I should not have, being Murata... but... WTF did I just read??? I'm going to have lovely dreams tonight. Edit: the next day This reminds me of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I thought it deserved a...
Flip through any newspaper and there will be a clear divide between pieces that clearly took substantial amounts of effort, and other pieces that were written just to fill the page. Gone is the era of “All the news that’s fit to print”. Gone are the space constraints. Gone is the cost to produce a physical product....
AI-generated content is commonplace and largely indistinguishable from content created via other means, such that trying to identify or detect it is largely futile and impossible to do on the whole.
Ich komme gerade von der Quo-vadis-Stadtrevue-Veranstaltung im Bürgerhaus Stollwerck. Ich will voranstellen: Meine Begeisterung und Unterstützung für Kölns bestes lokaljournalistisches Produkt ist ungebrochen. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie es für die Stadtrevue weitergeht, drücke alle Daumen und will gern bei allen...
In this video I talk with Julien Malka who is a PhD student on supply chain security. I have known Julien through Emacs, so we start our discussion with some comments on how Julien uses Emacs for note-taking and as a general purpose computing environment. We then shift our attention to the research area of Julien...
