I’ve been asked a couple times just this week how passkeys work, here’s a little rundown! What passkeys are and how they work The “sales pitch” for passkeys is that they’re like a password that you will never know, and can never leak....
Coronado por el logo mas feo que he hecho a partir de una tijera y un altavoz, aquí estamos de nuevo con un ensayo de PWA. Introducción No es que no hayan alternativas ni pienso superar lo que ya existe. El problema es que hay muchísimas...
Dick Davis, one of our finest living poets (and translators), has always published sparingly. If and when his complete poems are published – and they really should be – they will not make a fat volume. Davis favours short forms,...
I've been meaning to write a short review about this short book. It is not an exciting read. But it is a very good read. The prose is somehow simple, yet powerful. It flows, it drags you, it gets you stuck in time with her. You feel you...
A panorama of the original factory buildings (1904) of the famous Japanese porcelain and ceramics manufacturer. Although most of Noritake’s manufacturing still takes place in and around Nagoya, the original factory site is now a park,...
I've been diving deep into historical and theological study but neglecting my spiritual life. I've been reading from the scriptures every day, but spiritual practices like prayer and meditation have kind of taken a back seat. I'm going...
“The alternations between love and its denial, suffering and denial of suffering … constitute the most essential and ubiquitous structural feature of the human heart.” “The state of enchantment is one of certainty,” W.H. Auden wrote in...
I have been seeing a noticeable increase in unwanted applications showing up on client endpoints lately. Not full-on ransomware. Not always an obvious infection. Just the annoying middle layer: adware, PUPs, and browser junk that eats...
I recently posted about how you shouldn’t write for length. But I don’t think you should write for brevity either. Instead, get every thought you have on the page. Then, go through each sentence and reduce it to its essentials. cut, cut,...
me and my boyfriend made a house for my calico critters.

We got Mac at the same kitten adoption event as Polly. They were not from the same litter, but they both were kittens when we got them. We named him Mac, as in mac and cheese. We often call him Big Mac, Mac Daddy, Big Daddy, or Ole...
En los últimos años, a través de la palabra escrita –este blog, publicaciones en Mastodon, correos electrónicos y alguna que otra conversación– me he permitido a mí mismo compartir lo poco que sé sobre el tema de la informática. Aunque...
The best thing that happened this week This week it was carnaval in the southern part of The Netherlands. As I'm originally coming from somewhere where they don't celebrate carnaval, I don't really celebrate it now either but my daughter...
Capitalisme, IA et éducation Extrait de mon journal du 29 janvier, en lisant "Comprendre le pouvoir" de Chomsky. Le capitalisme n’a pas créé le système éducatif par humanisme, mais parce qu’il avait besoin d’employés qualifiés pour...
Uma loves singing. Recently, she has been humming ಬಾನ ದಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸೂರ್ಯ ಜಾರಿಹೋದ. I wanted to create a karaoke version of it. Since the video already had the lyrics embedded, all I needed to do was separate the audio into vocals and...
I feel somewhat fortunate not to have children, and deal with the challenges they face with peer-pressure. I read, with interest, Kevin Quirk's post about giving a mobile phone to his young son. It made me think about the ever-present...
Because my day job involves U.S. immigration law, I regularly stay on top of new precedent decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA” or “the Board”) in my feed reader. On February 13, 2026, I read a Board decision that had...
I always like to try new ways of reading RSS, so of course Current seemed interesting at first. Alas, the first blog post looked a bit too wank-y and learning that while it proudly proclaims to respect a user’s attention it doesn’t seem...
Hello world. This blog post is being dictated by Superwhisper. I’m not writing any text at all. Every word that is coming out was dictated one by one. Frankly I have no idea whether this works effectively or not, but apparently...
February 2026. Banner Cross. A rare trip out to posh (but not snooty, oh no) Banner Cross in Sheffield’s West End, to get Ian his new GBG tick. He wasn’t rushing to leave for the bus back, with the terrifying prospect of a pint with...
With measures borrowed from history’s totalitarian regimes, political leaders in Florida are taking unprecedented steps to indoctrinate students and prevent them from learning about the world in ways that may lead them to question the...
Hello, friends! This is a post for those of you who have been very gently (and not so gently) helping to get the gears in my head grinding, and to start getting the words popping out on this here book I’ve been poking at for a bit. I...
Area 11 is fronted by "Diggy Hole II" vocalist, Thomas "Sparkles*" Clarke who sounds so much like Frank Turner I had to check he wasn't. Inspired by anime and J-Rock, this Nottingham hard rock band throw out high octane pop-y inoffensive...
Cette semaine, ce qui m’a pris le plus de temps, c’est ce petit projet IOT, mais au lieu d’un Raspberry, j’utilise un esp32-c3-devkit-rust. J’ai porté la lib Arduino en une version Rust qui utilise esp_idf_svc (pour l’instant, c’est...
Read Ramona’s story, On the way to forever, on Foofaraw now!Why a centipede?I had considered other animals for Annika to turn into, like a bear or a wolf. Something more in line with a typical fairy tale story. But I thought the visual...
Today I learned about Apotris. My first impression? Fuck! Fuck is this good! When I started developing I didn’t have the ambition to create the best Tetris clone out there. But I was convinced I’d have a few novel ideas at least. Turns...
The Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory, is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the...
No, your blog should not have comments. Or at least, you should not feel as though it has to have comments. The comment section is famously the vilest part of any webpage (except YouTube, for some reason); while I do not aim to tell you...

I just came across “I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here’s What I Actually Handed Over.” and thought it might be worth sharing It’s a story of someone just wanting the “verified checkmark” on LinkedIn. Quite legit, right? Just that –...
You got to get them while they're young! The Kid liked the first Star Wars quite a bit, so we watched the sequel. The Wife had huge objections (it's too scary!), and she was almost right. However, The Empire Strikes Back is, simply put,...
Cómo escuchar jazz de Ted Gioia es uno de los primeros libros que he leído en este 2026. De nuevo una visita a la biblioteca, vistazo a la estantería de novedades y ahí estaba. Ya he comentado alguna vez que me gusta escuchar jazz, es...
Days without turning off site blockers: 4 Day 10 already! ... And I'm coming down with something. I don't know how bad it will be, but hopefully not bad enough that I won't be able to log. I've just been puttering along and listening to...
It's quite possible that today was my last visit to NUE before our move to Denmark, and I'm happy that I'm ending my time there on a high note.
Llevamos unos días de sol en mi zona. Sabía que me hacía falta, pero no sabía que me hacía tanta falta. Es que es ver un poco de sol en la calle y estar casi desesperado por salir a que me toque la piel la luz del sol. Recuerdo que en...

Select a directory from a list, and play all the music files in that directory. How difficult can that be?
How Python and Kotlin provide structured concurrency out of the box while Go achieves the same patterns explicitly using errgroup, WaitGroup, and context.
It's the third vomit post. I am partly excited about my ability to keep the momentum—it may be beginner's thing—and partly in doubt whether I can sustain this. After all, it is not a small commitment because writing is an art, and to...

In this world of endless streaming, we own nothing anymore. Nothing. Our digital music library, so carefully curated over the years, is nothing more than fairy dust blowing somewhere through the cloud. The movies we so dearly love are...
Excellent Bugonia Easter egg, Letterboxd. (I’m not sure what I thought of the movie, but I like the font!) I’ve got Peacock for the month (go Olympics!), and now I realize it just might have all of the Yorgos Lanthimos movies. Can one...
