A Go closure holds a live reference to whatever it captures, not a snapshot. Real examples of where this trips people up, and how to keep it boring.
When I'm writing documentation in Markdown I like, where possible, to mark up keys with the <kbd> tag. This was the reason for one of the updates to BlogMore: I'd not done any good default markup for <kbd> and the moment I realised, I...
This is Winston Fathead. He died yesterday. He arrived at our house in September 2014 - this is him, on the day of his arrival, sleeping on the chair that was reserved for our previous dog, Wookie. He was a rescue from the RSPCA (they...
I was kinda tired this morning from another night of less than good sleep. Then I decided to go walk. First was coffee and then a stroll through Wat Bo in areas I enjoy. This is what happened. Red Flower for my wife I sent this flower to...

Dice Bernat Castany que su libro, además de un intento de quitar hierro sin causar una anemia, ha sido escrito bajo la ley que Rosario Castellanos enunció en 1973 en Mujer que sabe latín: “No aceptar ningún dogma, sino hasta ver si es...
Recently, while scrolling through pictures that I took last year on my phone, this one caught my eye. I photographed this at some kind of design exhibition. I don't remember the topic anymore, or how this exhibit tied into the exhibition...
I was going to title this post Obsidian Sync is worth it. But I don't know what four bucks a month means to you. I can't say what's worth what to other people. But I can say that Obsidian Sync is great! Here are some reasons: It's fast....
Tomorrow is Independent Bookstore Day! It’s always such a fun day to get out and celebrate the need for indie bookshops in our communities. The goal is simple – just get out, if you can. Here’s a handy map where you can type in your zip...
I started my self-hosting journey in 2001 when I bought my first desktop. Before then I used the family computers (a 286 and 486 that we found in a dumpster). I went to university without my own computer and used the school computers for...
The Marc Sanders Foundation has announced that its 2026 Prize in Political Philosophy has been awarded to Adam Kern (University of San Diego) and Jacob Nebel (Princeton University). Adam Kern & Jake Nebel They received the prize for...
There is a version of the AI coding conversation that feels way too casual for what is actually at stake. A prompt goes in. A working app comes out. The demo looks clean. The login page loads. The API responds. The build passes. Everyone...
NMG 2026 results are out. If you are a grantee, congratulations. This is the 9th edition of 2026 and the biggest both in terms of total grant and the number of grantees. Initial emails have been sent. Today, I started sending some...
Probablemente ustedes ya lo sepan, ya que estos días la noticia ha corrido como la pólvora por redes sociales y medios tradicionales. Pero este es uno de esos temas que tiene que estar en Papel Continuo. Me refiero a No tape left behind:...
Read Mark's story, The Lion Slide, now!Was there any particular park you had in mind while writing this story?It’s an amalgam of two parks near where I live. Were there any good ghost stories or local legends where you grew up?I asked my...

I always have a notebook going. It's always a single-subject, college-ruled spiral notebook. I fill about one a month. I buy them in July during back to school sales, when I can get them in bulk. It's always just one notebook. I use a...
Com o poder dos sons eu não acredito que chegamos a 10 edições disso aqui. A princípio eu achei que seria legal ter um post ou dois falando sobre novos artistas (pra mim) e compartilhar esse tipo de coisa, que é a parte que eu mais gosto...
Most of us are strongly opposed to animal cruelty. Some are more in a grey area where it's okay to hit your animal as punishment to get them to behave how you want them to behave. I find this cruel, but I understand we're not all on the...
I am only human: books and an aging dog; what was I supposed to do? Reader beware: grief over the loss of a spouse; depression; parental abandonment; bullying (implied); elderly dog’s death. Also: spoilers in the review. Dog Person, by...
My review of Peter Weber's 2012 film 'Emperor'.
Le pregunté a ChatGPT, evaluando los riesgos,si es mejor volver con vos. Lo use como un psicólogo,O mejor dicho como una previsión de riesgos. Como la película de Mi Novia Pollyque analiza pros y contras de una relacióncon la eficacia de...
I once again have a functioning 8-track player, so now I can play my grandfather’s old Sons of the Pioneers1 cartridges as well as knock off Monkees and Beatles groups doing covers. Yay! It involved opening up my Lear Jet H-300, poking...

Since I bought my new laptop, a used Dell Latitude 5430, I have been searching for alternative displays, as the display it came with was the 250-nit version, so not very bright, and the color coverage was also quite limited. A few days...
A group of birders I joined recently at Whelan Lake in Oceanside While I’ve been birdwatching for a long time, this year I’ve also enjoyed sharing birding with others. So for my birthday, I’m inviting my friends and family to join me...
Being consistent and sticking with a routine is something I only seriously started doing like a year ago. For most of my life I would start things with insane enthusiasm, to the point that it would take up all my time and mental space....
So I play Stardew Valley on the phone and on my iPad usually, and am used to some things that are phone app only. But now I’ve bought a Switch lite, I’ve also installed the game there, and boy oh boy, it’s an adjustment. The main thing...
I. The Lower Roadworks The siren found Esra in the dark, the way it always did—not as sound first, but as vibration in the bunk frame, a low hum that climbed through the steel crossbar and into the bones of her jaw before it became the...
Don't you hate it whenever you're playing some stupid puzzle game and you can't find the solution, so then you start having a harsh realization with yourself about your intellectual abilities and your resulting place in the world? Yeah,...
This time I actually managed to fly rather well! I didn't play that long since it's already late, but I decided to take a Kestrel out in the void and see what happens. After some time of roaming through systems and making LP farmers...
(some vulgar slang, but (I think) tolerable by kids and the sexually modest) Today’s (4/24) morning name, the final line of a quatrain I learned as boy lore about 1950: How’s your ma and how’s your pa And how’s your sister Sue? And while...
In this ~30-minute video, I talk about the relationship between violence and safe spaces. How violence carves a space out of the wilderness and how it keeps it free from danger. I bring up several examples and also discuss the concept of...
April 2026. Stockport. Back at Stockport Travelodge (£37.99, wouldn’t buy a pie, pint and programme at the Emirates) after the game I decided I wasn’t paying a fiver for WiFi, and the only watchable thing on the telly was “The Story of...
https://hono.dev/ is a lot of fun to use, in large part due to the simplicity of the tooling. It feels a bit like writing one-file-per-page web applications in PHP or python and dropping them on a web server somewhere. I used to do this...
Had a few fuck ups before finally making something neat & usable. The fuck ups likely happened because I was tired & rushing! I still need a good method of punching the holes for the cover and pages -- I'll try making a template out of...
It's an interesting feeling to realize you've been propagandized to for your entire life. I'm simultaneously angry at those who've lied to me, although they're often victims of the same propaganda. I also feel free, and able to reanalyze...
Unfortunately I have my first driving lesson today (in the simulator!) clashing with my first IndieWebCamp event (since I’ve joined). The 2-day event is in-person and held at Düsseldorf (remote participation is available!) I’m really...
The great danger is to stand motionless on the bank as the river of your life rushes by. It is not easy, learning how to stop waiting and start living; not easy not to waste your life; not easy knowing whether or not how you spend your...
Read on the website: GESS is a Soviet / Russian standard for stenography (fast handwriting.) I want to use it for both Russian and English. And I dare say it works!
The rabbit hole for journaling can go deep. You can use different formats, different journaling techniques, you can even start a bullet journal, which has its own practices. The tools you use for writing can also change the experience,...
Une semaine où j’ai rien trouvé d’intéressant à vous partager au niveau articles ou veille, c’est rare, mais ça arrive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ À côté, j’ai reçu mes nouveaux anneaux pour faire une nouvelle slip-chain ! Ils sont deux fois plus gros...
It was a rewatch after I saw Einzelganger's video from last year about the philosophy of Tyler Durden, one of the main character, and my favorite one. This movie is a classic cult, and has a big fan following. I expect that you must have...

It was bound to happen. For months, I’ve done my best to prevent this, but eventually, my patience and tolerance weren’t enough. Here I am, writing a post about how I finally decided to ditch Safari as my main browser, and replace it...
The "Historia Langobardorum" is the oldest chronicle relevant to the history of Venice. It probably dates to the 780s or 790s.
I've been tweaking the CSS for the site I've spent the morning tweaking CSS for the site. Please let me know if anything is off for you. It all appears to be fine on my desktop and phone.
I made a randomart artwork, an illustration of a ssh fingerprint for a public and private key pair.
I was born after 9/11. There is a story, maybe I made it up, that my parents where visiting my grandparents to tell them of the pregnancy when the second plane hit. I don't remember how old I was when I first learned about 9/11, and I...
OpenWebUI is a great AI toolbox for personal or family use. They manage to get a pretty user friendly UI set up that can tie into both local and remote AI servers - with some caveats. The support for Speech-To-Text is one such, where the...

Hiked part 22/25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 17.7 kilometres from Hoog Soeren to Garderen. Left Hoog Soeren past thatched farms and a small chapel, then crossed the golf course into beech and pine woods. The route opened onto wide...
Apple and Porsche both figured out the same secret that the cheapest product in the lineup can be the most exciting. It just takes a little intention.
2026-04-24Hello!I fell asleep in the middle of a call again... this keeps happening. I didn't have any work to do anyway, and at least I woke up early to attend today's "booking day" at school.Many friends of mine are pursuing arts...
Back in 2016 my wife and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Walla Walla in eastern Washington. We both wanted to explore that area for a while and the long weekend at the beginning of summer was the perfect occasion. We started at Palouse...
It astounds me that I have never blogged about my love of Radio Paradise. You know how much I love music and radio in particular, especially if you read my Desert Island Discs post. One of my oldest friends introduced me to this internet...
