In my last post I talked about losing photos and the false sense of security that comes from having "a backup." But even if you have copies everywhere there's a quieter problem that nobody warns you about. Your files are degrading right...

I love a good podcast. Especially at night when I am in bed. Forty minutes on a good topic and I will nod off to sleep half way. If I wake up through the night I tune into the second half. But here is what's starting to get on my paps!...
Did you know that Jesus gave advice about prototyping with an LLM? Here’s Luke 14:28-30: Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you...

I've been building an API recently with a stack that I think hits a sweet spot of just enough structure to keep a team productive, not so much that you're fighting the tools. The stack is Huma for the HTTP layer, sqlc for database...

Ferocious, hissing and spitting, and yet utterly defenseless unless I run away. All talk, nothing to show for it. Often I finish fights in my head hours after the fact. Sometimes I bite once and regret it forever. Because I'm supposed to...
I was happening to be reading along on reddit which I still enjoy doing. Mostly these days I will use an RSS reader that shows a particular subreddit along with comments. News Explorer on Mac and iOS does this well. I don’t do analog...

I wonder what the proprietor of the Speedway Livery & Boarding Stables would have thought about his handsome brick building transforming from a home for pricey horses to a pricey home for people? This four-story, Romanesque-style stable...
I am back on my faking it until I make it mode in regards to dealing with the stresses in my life. Lying to yourself isn't good but we all do it all the fucking time. I've successfully faked myself into genuine happiness before, it...
I hope you had a good Easter weekend, mine was very relaxed indeed. Today a (very) short little “hike” with the family, a bit of picnic, an early return home and a long nap with wide open windows with the birds singing, I can’t...
The great paradox, the great pain of human relationships is that they are so often not relational: two lonelinesses colliding without real contact, one or both orienting to the other not as a person but as a projection, mistaking for...
Early this morning, Sharif University of Technology, Iran’s leading technical university, was bombed. As of the writing of this post, it was unclear whether the bombing was carried out by the United States or Israel or both. Neither has...
Why logging at every layer of a service produces noise, and how to log only at the handler level while propagating context from below.
I got in a fucking car crash yesterday. I'm doing okay. I'm not severely injured, but my right toes are a bit messed up and I'm somewhat bruised. Other than that, I'm alright. My car got totaled. I was on my way to the gym and my whole...

Recently I fell into the Instagram Reels trap where unknown artists play a snippet of their music and then offer one of their CDs for free. You only pay for shipping. Until now I had ignored these videos, but after seeing the same...
I’ve had a particularly lucky break in my professional life, and I’m going to be starting a brand new position with a new-to-me company in a few days. One of the practical upshots of this, though, is that it’s suddenly practical to...
Are you ever surprised by something past-you did? I ask because this week NetGalley ‘reminded’ me that I had been approved for this ARC back in late 2020–a good four years after I had stopped reading the series (see footnote 1). My only...
