Durability is the ultimate feature. I wrote in October last year that I wouldn’t upgrade my iPhone 14 Pro. That’s also not quite true. I did upgrade my phone — with a new battery and leather case. This isn’t what people typically think of when they say they upgraded their phone. They think of an entirely new phone....
The past few years I have enjoyed watching the Tour de France. In my opinion, it is one of the most punishing endurance events in the world. Over twenty-one stages, riders in the 2025 Tour covered 2053 miles and climbed over 172,244 feet (that's almost six times the altitude of Mt. Everest). The mountain stages are...
Daring Fireball: If your opinion of a work art changes after you find out which tools were used to make it, or who the artist is or what they’ve done, you’re no longer judging the art. You’re making a choice not to form your opinion based on the work itself, but rather on something else. […]
I give the audience what I (think?) it wants with coverage of the first two teaser trailers for season two of The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.
Vim is a superb tool for repeating changes, and there is even a whole chapter in the user manual about repeating commands. Before we discuss macros, you should master the . dot command first. It repeats the previous change, and no matter how trivial that sounds, this is the command I use a zillion times a day. Your...
Od dłuższego czasu nosiłem się z zamiarem napisania - w pewnym sensie przepisania - narzędzia do generowania kanałów RSS/Atom dla stron, które tychże nie mają. Jakiś czas temu zrobiłem już podobne narzędzie, ale 1) było okropne, oraz 2) było w PHP, co sprawiało, że było okropne. Do nowej wersji zdecydowałem, że...

Me llama la atención que, con el tema de la posible eliminación del cambio horario, todos tengamos una opinión extremadamente formada, extremadamente fuerte y extremadamente visceral. Yo también la tengo, que conste: que nos quedemos en UTC+1. Tal como he puesto en Mastodon: La hora que marca el reloj es una...
“Whenever I see people engaged in philosophical debate or argument, I want to see people trying to win. I like my philosophy adversarial, aggressive, combative, and even hostile. I think there are some good reasons for this approach… but I also think it’s more fun that way. And I’m not the only one. Friedrich...
American novelists Molly Tanzer and Jennifer Gilmore have launched legal action against Salesforce, accusing the San Francisco based software company of copyright infringement. Tanzer and Gilmore allege Salesforce used thousands of novels, not just their work, without permission, to train AI agents. Salesforce want...
October 2025. Sighișoara. There are two main challenges writing these foreign blogs. One is finding the right button on the phone for the mysterious “comma below” in Romanian names, the other is limiting the number of photos so you don’t get too bored reading the posts. Not that many folk do read the posts to…...
A flower erupts out of one of the cacti we saved from Alan's yard. In the middle of winter last year our poor neighbour Alan was killed when his house burnt down . We still think of Alan and that awful night. During the height of our desert summer a demolition team raized his burnt house and yard. With permission we...
I got the Supernote A6X2 Nomad almost a year ago, and have been using it off and on for that entire time, deciding if it has a place in my workflow. TLDR;# I thought it a great writing tablet - nicer than pen and paper in a lot of cases. The fact you have nearly infinite notes in one little package was a big plus...
No Kings | deerhoof: In what universe are Schumer, Jeffries, Biden or Harris not kings? ... They bomb whole populations out of existence in order that they and their aristocratic friends can live in ridiculous luxury, and spread their religion - capitalism - across the globe, violently, with despotic impunity and...
AutoDescriptor: Added page description via AutoDescriptor bot A recent Hacker News thread was about Andrej Karpathy's advice for success at Stanford. It's got a bunch of advice but what I was particularly struck by is the absence of one piece of advice that is commonly given to students: to take notes in lectures. I...
If you had asked them whether someone could bring teaser trailers for The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten season two, Allen Iverson’s shooting sleeve, and George Costanza’s insights on hair together under the umbrella of one article, they would have told you know. They told me know. But I didn’t listen to them....
Internet Archive website after the launch of Wayback Machine in October 2001. If the future is going to devolve into chaos, then the present ought to be preserved somehow, online. That was part of the thinking behind the Wayback Machine, a public archive of web pages that was launched on October 24, 2001, at a...
Day 36, What do you remember about your first computer and learning to use it? So the first computer, was a ‘zx spectrum’ that you hooked into a television. It came with a book of basic and a cassette drive. It was amazing, I was however very young, so i couldn’t read the words, and basically copied verbatum the...
