A while ago I needed a place to manage all my ebook highlights and notes, offline. So I built 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

Check it out! → liture.co

Just finished porting my blog on Astro.
The best platform for a static blog since Jekyll.

Obsidian is really a great software. I always have it open, it’s like vscode but for writing.

What’s missing? Integrated agents. 🧵
what's one improvement you'd like to see in @obsidian.md in 2026?

Definitely deserves the fame. I played it on Switch and the new redrawn art gives it a fairly modern feeling.
Finally righted a wrong & played Braid (2008). I knew the general outline of the twist, but it was executed so well! I would have loved to have experienced it truly blind.

Puzzles were great. Even for a game more than 15 years old they felt fresh and innovative.

Cool stuff. Try Braid or whatever.

If only my compiler course had chosen Racket instead of Java.
My five-project (along with slides, video lectures, etc.) compilers course has all projects now available online free: kmicinski.com/functional-p.... Five projects have you incrementally build a compiler for a substantial language, including functions, mutation, loops, vectors, etc.

Reading SICP, I found fascinating that it introduces the notion of order of growth, using factorial and Fibonacci as examples, before even explaining what loops or variables are.

Verisign increases prices 7% per year, it might be the real inflation %.
The simplest way to track real-world inflation - 5 years ago .com domains were something like $10/year, now they are $18.5/year.
