I. Foundation: The Honest Life The central ethical question in Deferential Realism is not “What is the good life?” but “What is the honest life in a world of constraints?” Traditional virtue ethics asks what dispositions lead to flourishing. Deferential Realism asks: What dispositions lead to accurate constraint...

Um dia depois de falar que ia tentar escrever no blog por uma semana sem pausa. Eu fiz uma pausa. Eu não queria abandonar depois de fazer o post que queria realmente tentar. Mas enquanto olhava ontem pra tela de fazer um post, eu fiquei considerando que poderia escrever sobre algo aleatório apenas pra dizer que...
Prote wrote in his recent post: You will find that anyone who is faking it or telling lies the whole time, is forced to always check with themselves to make sure that their charade is not exposed through all the emerging contradictions. Dishonesty is a major source of stress. Once you accept who you are, once you...
Introducing my 2024-2025 coffee journal of 26 bags of coffee brewed at home with a Chemex and Barista Pro espresso machine, documented in a Field Notes notebook.
Si un amigo o amiga te ofrece… simplemente di NO a la IA.

Four years ago, I made this blog fit for IndieWeb. The most important part for me was the integration of Webmentions, which are mainly automated “pings” sent from one website to another, telling the latter: “Hey, I mentioned your post ABC in my post XYZ.” Such a connection between two blogs is certainly not the same...
Creo que la más divertida y la más frenética de todas las películas de Mortadelo y Filemón que se han hecho (sin desmerecer las anteriores). Todavía más repleta de referencias a la cultura pop y cañí española, no puedes despegar la vista de la pantalla sin perderte algún detalle. Divertida hasta el punto de sacarme...

In 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I published lists of books I enjoyed every year. Then I enumerated those I read from 2014 to 2019, and then the ones of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Here’s the complete list of books I read and enjoyed in 2025. There’s a lot, and a little bit of everything. You...

Dennis Wheatley (born on this day in 1897)was a phenomenally successful and prolific novelist, one of the world's best-selling writers from the 1930s through to the 1960s – after which his star sank swiftly below the horizon. He specialised in thrillers with occult themes, of which The Devil Rides Out is perhaps the...
A reluctant start to a winter hike turned into a rewarding day on the mountain. With temperatures plunging below freezing and low-hanging clouds, hesitation nearly kept me on the couch. But a nudge from my wife - and a pair of heated warming padsmade the change.
An extremely bad click-through experience in Vimeo: a whole lot of redundant text, and a double captcha (luckily you only have to click on one). Put the little captcha box in the middle of the screen and that’s it. Nothing else feels necessary. A great example of an insecure interface. #complexity #interface design...
I started writing an intro about current world events, but you know what? I don't want to talk about it. It only puts me (and probably you too) in a bad mood, and I'd rather be in a good mood. So instead, here's a picture from a few days ago when it had just snowed for the first time, and snow always makes...
Recently we had the Digital Independence Day what better Reason could one have to rethink how I use published photos. I actually wanted to integrate them better into my blog already since long. But Digital Independence Day was a good kick in the ass to finally quit Instagram for real. I’m not here to start a big...
Drew this during a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon. One of my favorite scenes from “At World’s End” is the ice passage scene where everyone is covered in frost. I’m going to turn this into a painting so I can play around with all the deep blues from the scene. Calypso is the most captivating character, especially...
I work from home and so does my husband, so space is tight. I endured it for years: frequent interruptions, my husband loudly cooking pasta at 2pm while I'm on a call, random drop-ins from maintenance workers. I noticed my productivity was dropping. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to look for a coworking space. I've...
A while ago, I mentioned that I would be removing the largest files from my file server, effectively rendering it useless, and being a store for very little useful stuff. It's back up now, and my server and network is no longer overwhelmed with the sheer amount of requests. The Silver Bullet While researching for...
This year I moved the blog from GitHub Pages’ built-in Jekyll to a GitHub Actions workflow, then added .txt URL support for posts. Inspired by Terence Eden’s blog post about text-only websites. Why move to GitHub Actions? GitHub Pages runs Jekyll in safe: true mode, which disables custom plugins. It limited me to...

In light of Texas A&M’s decision to tell a philosophy professor to remove readings by Plato from his course, one enterprising philosopher has come up with a way for people to voice their support for academic freedom. It’s the “Legalize Plato” t-shirt. Designed by UC San Diego philosophy professor Saba Bazargan, the...
It's hard to believe it's 2026. The next Healing Together conference is already soon, this will be my 3rd year attending, and it'll be the 2nd time I'm frustrated that I haven't told any of my/our story. Reading or watching other people's stories of making it through hard times has helped me, and I've wanted to be...
Login on this site has been a bit flaky for a while since in my never-ending fight against AI bots I had switched to a multiprocess configuration to give the site a bit more robustness, but which had the side effect of most logins only having a 50% chance of working due to fiddly details inside Publ (or, more...

Kevin TerwilligerDell head of product It is surprising that the first manufacturer to tell the truth about so-called “AI PCs” is Dell, Microsoft's early partner in the Copilot+ laptops initiative.

I live in Minneapolis, where on Jan 7 Renee Good was killed by an ICE officer while trying to flee from another officer attempting to force her car door open. Moments before, she is seen on camera waving out her window for the ICE vehicle to pass her using the open lane in front of her. Neither the footage nor a...

When I link to other sites, especially in big link roundup posts like yesterday’s, I try to cite the author of the post by name. Not just by name, but with a link. This is the Web, after all. Here’s a not-at-all-random example, drawn from yesterday’s post, of how I typically do this: A simple link with attribution...
Title says it: Over the winter break, I rewatched Season 1 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers because my inner eleven-year-old wanted to, and I wanted something that required absolutely no thought or insight. Win-win. I was obsessed with this show when it originally aired in the US. More precisely, I wanted to be. We...

This is a story through millions of years in its past to explain why humans are shaped the way we are, and millennia into the speculative future for why mechs should probably not replicate human geometry. So why are humans shaped like that? Well, it starts with our mouth. Early lifeforms were floating around eating...

We play some type of card game each night at our house, usually during dinner.

Album#23 桜座 渋さ門 图1 《桜座 渋さ門》专辑封面 专辑信息 专辑名称：桜座 渋さ門 歌手：渋さ知らズ 年份：2025-03-23 风格：爵士、器乐 时长：约 65 分钟 《桜座 渋さ門》是一张器乐非常丰富的爵士器乐专辑，在 2025 豆瓣年度音乐榜单 的「最受关注爵士 Blues 专辑」部分发现的，评分还挺高。 整体听下来，感觉演奏比较即兴，而且有大量的乐器，同一个乐句，可能同时有好几个乐器在演奏，就像在听一场现场的爵士即兴表演。曲子短的七八分钟，长的近十六分钟，戴上耳机，享受他们的演奏就好了。 专辑中即兴的感觉，让我想到了 《蓝色巨星》，里面主角也是一个萨克斯手，即兴起来的那种投入，会吸引在场的所有人。...

DavidBowie.com, January 8, 2013. After 2004, the rise of the social web — and especially platforms like MySpace and Facebook — made niche social networks like BowieNet less relevant in the culture. This shift coincided with the slow decline of BowieNet itself. The portal and ISP had launched in 1998 and had two...
On engineering January 2026 I’m writing this note off the cuff because I just watched the latest Veritasium video, and I’m overexcited. It’s one of those moments where something you already knew clicks suddenly. The video talks about the engineering behind ASML’s EUV lithography machines, one of the most complex...
One predictable pain point with contrast-color() is that it only returns black and white named colors. From a design systems perspective, that’s not ideal because you want your colors. You want your harmonious brand and the colors you and your team spent thousands of man hours in meetings deciding on. Those colors....
Back in October Zachary Kai resurrected the IndieWeb Book Club, choosing The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. I warned Zachary at the time that I’m a slow reader and it may take me a while to respond. With that sorted I started reading. I didn’t exactly get on with the book. It wasn’t written for me, Rick Rubin’s book...
