I've been writing a LOT of Gleam recently. So it felt like it was probably time for me to get my parser combinator library (aka. parz) into a fully usable state Since I wrote it back in 2024 (wow that long ago huh?) I hadn't really had a...
This week on the podcast: Apple has increased prices across its Mac and iPad lines, the guys are all on iOS 27 Beta 2, and the Bill of Rickies is amended.

Reed studied with Delmore Schwartz at Syracuse; Schwartz started a Ph.D. in philosophy with Alfred North Whitehead at Harvard, though he didn’t finish it. Whitehead was a teacher of Bertand Russell, who taught Wittengstein.
I found Spielberg’s new opus DISCLOSURE DAY perfectly diverting and well directed. It’s definitely not a fully satisfying story, though. Partly because there are alien artifacts and alien powers which can do whatever the plot requires,...
