So I have a few sites with SiteGround. They’re largely sites that don’t get a huge amount of traffic (with the exception of All Rumble Stats, which gets 20k a month). Hosting is a bit like your bank account or your broadband provider:...
Abstract Identity puzzles like the Ship of Theseus turn on two questions, not one. The first is a question of ground: in virtue of what does an object remain the same—the persistence of its matter, or the persistence of its form? The...

In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Christ, a few Daily Dex posts ago I was like "I wanna do these a bit more on a schedule" and then got distracted by time off work, going to a few movies, cleaning my...
For some reason these days decent sleep is elusive. I guess some random thoughts then come to ensure I stay awake. Also listen now to the quiet the neighborhood has before 5am. This is the best time for me to write in the journal I...

Getting curl developers and related enthusiasts into a single room to hang out in the real world for a whole weekend once a year is awesome. We find inspiration, we share experiences, we learn from each other and we dream and plan of...
I think I say this every year, but I'm really not a fan of summer. At least not when it's over 30°C, that's just too hot for me. Well we just had a week of 30°C and more, and it's not even June yet! If that's the temperature in May, I'm...
My garden is full of happy bees. No such thing as a weed.
Check out As in guillotine... for more. NOTE: I’m pretty public about my “AI” skepticism, but there are a handful of people I trust to have informed, nuanced takes that help challenge and refine my own thinking. (Two are featured below.)...
I like passkeys. Let me get that out of the way first.Passkeys are one of the better authentication improvements we have seen in years. They reduce password reuse, make phishing harder, and remove one of the ugliest parts of account...

Looking over the Kamogawa river and Sanjo Ohashi bridge at blue hour after sunset. The paper lanterns on the outdoor dining terraces (kawayuka) are all aglow. 日没後のブルーアワー、鴨川と三条大橋を眺める。川床の紙提灯がすべて灯っている。
from the breeze against my skin, I sense the [north] edging into inescapable heat, rushing in bursts between rain and faint rainbows. I am transported back to the first days of spring, when the chip of winter fell from her shoulders.
John Lanchester at the London Review of Books: Since fewer and fewer people are using banknotes, it follows logically that fewer banknotes are needed, and therefore that fewer banknotes are being printed and put into circulation. Right?...

I've been thinking a lot about publishing photos for myself and my close circle, and in a second iteration of memories. The principal lines of thought are these: Privacy This is obviously the main thing, but to put up photos online we...
As much as the Right accuses the Left of "identity politics," leftists also accuses the Left of identity politics whenever anyone suggests that tensions in society are not limited to and complicate that one between proletariat and...

Recently, I've been blowing bubbles at work while on break. I sit in this sweet little park outside my office building, and blow bubbles to de-stress. Of course, children react positively -- they smile at me and try to pop the bubbles,...
Your browser does not support the video tag. My friend Mateusz sent me this video of a Zen priest comparing David Foster Wallace to Zen Buddhism. He doesn't really get too deep into analysis with DFW, and mostly uses Infinite Jest as a...
At this time last year, I was scrambling so hard to get everything done that I straight up closed the library for the last week and a half of school. This year, I'm better at my job. Better enough that instead of closing the library, I'm...
Această scrisoare este pentru tehnologie, pentru altceva poate o să apară în viitor. Nu știu exact de unde să încep, dar am simțit de ceva timp că trebuie să scriu asta. Nu pentru că ar fi ceva spectaculos de spus, ci pentru că e ceva ce...

If you customise Tmux a lot, inevitably you will run out of ways to cleanly map keys (or they have become a mess) and you will yearn for another “leader” or “prefix” to bind to moar mappings. For some, it’s a case of when, not if. My...
I have blogged before about why I like to support as many of the small, independent developers that I can. Specifically those who develop software that I actually use. Nothing is really free, and people have taken a lot of time and...
