A thin lit edge of a pale blue dot against vast nothingness. The same picture Apollo 8 took in 1968. Updated for 2026. To remind us, all of us: Everything and everyone we have ever touched is…

I am fully aware they are bad for you. Yes. I know. I've heard it all. But something about smoking a cigarette in the car after a hard day at my part-time job is really healing. Or a cigarette during…

The old axiom—that a 7-day JR Pass costs the same as a round-trip Shinkansen journey between Tokyo and Kyoto—is no longer true. The post Is the Japan Rail Pass Still Worth It? appeared first on Japan…

Down by the river, the place has been reverberating to the guff-like sound of paddleboards being deflated at the end of a day in the water. Similarly but differently, I overinflated a bike tyre –…

turns out i have a lot of horse-owning-simulation games from the 2000s. but are any of them, like, actually fun?

A couple of months ago I referred to a quote from Infocom's internal ZIL manual: The other four tokens—ON-GROUND, IN-ROOM, HELD, and CARRIED—are incredibly confusing, and no one really understands…

The other day I came across Connie Kleinjans’ page of “two-minute versions” of G&S shows. She’s got two versions of Gondoliers and one each of Iolanthe and Ruddigore. The technique is the same as…

Drew fan art for the awesome horror comic, Masonry of the Body (it’s scarier than my drawing, I assure you).

Today I had a fun one, where I finally dove into something that was bothering me for days: since a couple of days I had been getting questions from my different GitHub Copilot sessions to close some…

Something has changed for me at the bench in the last few weeks, and I want to write it down before it stops feeling new. I have spent the last decade building or using diagnostic tools that put a…

I really, really want local models to work. I want them to work in the very practical sense that I can open my coding agent, pick a local model, and get something that feels competitive enough that I…

Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, announced that 25% of Winter 2025 startups had 95% of their code generated by AI. The internet applauded. I read it twice to make sure that was actually the claim.…

Halfway done.

A CLI and MCP server that aggregates trust signals about open-source code, projects, and the people behind them — so humans and LLM coding agents can decide, on evidence, whether to adopt a…

“un jour je serai de retour près de toi”This week, Aljoscha is updating on his own. Thankfully he did not draw anything, because Sammy left a whole collection of drawings to share.

We’re not even going to do an intro this month, we got ourselves some new hardware this month to play with let’s go!

I tried leaning into sexual transgression. Here’s what I learned.

Hardware breakpoints can trigger eBPF programs when specific memory addresses are accessed, leveraging CPU hardware support for low overhead. By utilizing these hardware breakpoints, we can…

The current mess in the Linux world is dirtyfrag. A new LPE bug using Kernel modules but the twist here is someone broke the normal embargo to let systems patch, so there’s currently no…

I’ve been a fan of security tokens for a decade now and have accrued quite a collection. This redundancy isn’t a bad thing, as security tokens are easily misplaced and the only way to…

A proxy that holds real AWS credentials, gives agents fake keys, re-signs outbound requests, and generates a least-privilege policy from observed behavior.

The simplest improvement you can make to your agentic programming workflow is to run two agents instead of one. One writes code in its own worktree; the other, in a parallel worktree, reviews it.…

For forty years we pretended software was the product. SaaS moved the price to the service. AI moved it past zero. The artefact is free now — what's worth paying for is knowing which code to write.

The first problem with running multiple agents is that they forget. The second is that they can't coordinate. A state layer that solves storage first and then adds signaling becomes a nervous system,…

It’s been a couple of weeks since the last post and the blog has changed quite a bit since then. None of it was on my roadmap. A Reddit comment kicked the whole thing off, and from there it…

I work across three different physical PCs, and on a couple of those I also bounce between Windows and WSL. That’s as many as six different environments where I run Claude Code against the same set…

Recently I had an idea while exploring a new project that had some Tailwind components - why be forced to use UI I don’t want to use? In this age of LLMs, is it possible to take a component created…

No training, 12 hours of meetings a week, public sprint shaming, and a probation period that guarantees silence. This is not high performance culture.
