Not every presentation needs slides, but when they earn their place, they work as a visual channel that complements the speaker rather than replacing them. Sumeet Gayathri Moghe sets out the principles that follow from that idea — control over the rate of knowledge exposition, tight coupling between slides and...

When I first saw the trailer for this show, I was all in: two women ‘of a certain age’ being the protagonists of an action adventure show with some comedic elements? Yes, PLEASE! I eventually binged all eight episodes, and while I liked it well enough, I had issues with a couple of aspects of the show. Beware:...

On the anniversary of the final day of chosting - some thoughts about where we've been (and maybe what's next?) ["COHOST MENTIONED" ALARM SOUNDS] My Eggbug mug is starting to chip and I fear for its safety every day It's September 30th, 2026 which means it's been exactly two years since the final day1 that anyone...

September 2026. Grantham. A few new Beer Guide entries to break up the interminable slog up and down the A1, and a characteristically eclectic bag of Lincolnshire debutants in GBG27. The one place I didn’t expect a newbie is Grantham, a town I thought I’d done to death over the years, even stayed over in the...

Continuing the theme of software fixes for hardware problems, here’s an essay I wrote in 2016 about a broken computer display that I “fixed” as a teenager, just because I wanted to play Civilization. It remains one of my favourite things I’ve ever written.#hacks #marcin wichary

A few weeks ago I realized in mid-act that I hadn't gotten around to writing something I'd intended to some years ago - how to upgrade Huginn if you're running it in a reasonably pedestrian (read: not using Docker) way. Additionally, I realized when I upgraded my exocortex at the time the process I had in my notes...

♠ Today is my last day at Tulip. I should write about my experience sometime. For now, I’ll just say that I had a better experience here than in Google Germany1. Pull Request (PR) stats by year of PR creation: 460 (2024) 1,096 (2025) 1,468 (2026 to date) Clearly LLM assistance has significantly increased my...

Zwei Dinge, die ich unter anderem bisher in meinem Leben gelernt habe: 1) Die Welt ist komisch, aber lustig ist sie nicht, und 2) dass man leicht Mundgeruch bekommt, wenn man den ganzen Tag kein Wort sagt. Per E-Mail antworten

Roshan: Wikipen Lots of stuff today in the AI world. == No Need To Complain About Stack == Cloudflare released their next CLI to replace <code>wrangler</code>. It's called <code>cf</code>, and it's written in TypeScript. On Hacker News this choice of stack was disliked by enough people to be at the top of the...

Primeira vez escutando o album novo delas e eu queria fazer a tradição de ir postando minhas impressões das faixas. Tirando as que já haviam saído com MV, mas ainda assim não deixa de ser a primeira vez ouvindo (?). E ver a Shogenji Yoko como centro novamente me deixa feliz, apesar dela não tá na minha lista de...

De afgelopen weken heeft de regering ons minstens viermaal, op schrift, uitgelegd dat er echt geen geld is voor digitale autonomie, of voor de nieuw op te richten Nederlandse Digitale Dienst die aan die autonomie zou kunnen gaan werken. Volgens het coalitieakkoord en meer documenten wil men Nederland digitaal...

a half-assed review"> The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end. I bought this game back in 2015...

Yesterday, we made a quick grocery store stop on our way back from Spartanburg. At one point, I heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, so I went to the in-store Starbucks. I had heard correctly--they were giving out samples of Pumpkin Spice Latte--yum.For me, though, this season is really Pumpkin Sketching...

I haven’t written anything here since July and my last newsletter was in May. It is the longest I have gone without writing in over a decade. The irony is that I started my monthly newsletter 11 years ago to write off my health stress. But this year it is the health stress that kept […]

Today marks a year since my little sister, Lisa, took her own life. She was 34. It was an overdose, but we don't know if it was an accident or suicide. We’ll never get an answer, yet I lean toward believing it was by choice. As grim as it sounds, picturing her with some control over the end brings me a small measure...

In a comment on an earlier post, a professor suggested as a topic for discussion, “Academic integrity violations becoming commonplace (analog, not just AI!) and what to do about it.” Diane Arbus, “Screaming woman with blood on her hands” I’ve certainly heard from many professors about rampant AI-enabled cheating in...

https://blakewatson.com/journal/polyhedral-dice-showmanship-and-loss/ I got a little nostalgic and wistful thinking about a small dice manufacturing company and the mythical man who started it.

img { display: inline-block; } rose Started feeling a lot better; more hopeful, more together, more focused and motivated. I met up with Xaya, her girlfriend, and Kami in real life. :) went to a café, then went back to my place to play some games. I added new pictures to my blog - on my /now page and my author page....

Michael writes about blogs disappearing due to rising costs in domains and I agree with him that this is an ongoing issue. My previous blog was available at antoniosantos.io and the primary reason I moved to this domain was the .io TLD renewal price increasing to over $51 dollars. That was just way too much to pay...

A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed? Growing up, and through my time at Hospital Radio Lennox, there was one genre I just didn’t get. I begrudgingly would admit I enjoyed specific tracks but, the genre on a whole just wasn’t for me. It sounded like music for old people, those looking to a...

I've redesigned my photography website. It now features my personal work as well as a page for my documentary and behind-the-scenes commissions. I'm really pleased with it. If you know anyone looking to document daily life at their company, or with a project, please put them in touch.https://ollyheadey.com

A detail from In the Dark Woods, 2019, from my Acid Renaissance series. I recently read, and greatly enjoyed, Alan Moore’s latest novel I Hear a New World, the second instalment in Moore’s Long London series, following on from The Great When. I’m not here to review it, but I would highly recommend it and its...

Marques Brownlee just released a video essay titled “Dear YouTube”. I loved it. He talks about how YouTube is going to start shipping this new feature where makers can essentially publish different “variants” of their videos and see which performs best (an A/B test). Which immediately begs a lot of questions....
