Here’s the deal: Make reading your hobby this year. It’ll expand your mind, grow your perspective, and if you grab a library card, you’ll be supporting authors too (yes, in places like the UK, AU, NZ, and Canada, libraries pay authors!). Reading isn’t just fun—it’s a win for everyone.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, when I’m riding a bike for sport (fast road biking, mountain biking, etc) I always wear a helmet.
I hate wearing one when I’m just commuting or getting groceries, I only do it because I don’t want to give drivers a free get out of jail card if I’m hit.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?
I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

I recently acquired another Semi-Tech Microelectronics Piped Piper computer. It was not working but after some troubleshooting, it turned out to be a bad Z80 CPU. I don't see that often. It's a portable CP/M based computer with a somewhat unique design. Being Canadian, it's one of my favourites.

https://xkcd.com/386 prompted me to realize how much time I spent unhappy for no benefit. I need another specifically about how some significant percent of otherwise fully functional adults flatly cannot recognize obvious lies, no matter how much evidence piles up or how glaring a contradiction is.

writing about the terminal is so funny because it's like "redirects are so useful! hooray!"
"okay and also `cmd file.txt > file.txt` will permanently delete the contents of `file.txt`”
lots of cool useful tools with the occasional horrifying fact that you just need to keep seared into your memory
