Sometimes, I get files in my downloads folder that I cannot for the life of me understand from whence they came.

I don’t even know how to summarize this thing. But I can say the document ends with recommendation of “Finalizing the ARMALICIOUS manufacturing and […]

I know that literally no one besides myself uses https://github.com/josephholsten/hig, but how do people actually stand git’s nonsensical command naming, to say nothing of how long all the commands are? I’ve really tried on this laptop, it’s been almost six months and my muscle memory still […]

Okay, that’s enough ITC Garamond Condensed nostalgia in ads. How about some Computer Modern Roman?

All information I could find online suggests that running Wabi on #solaris 8 should be impossible.

The Oracle docs suggest that, there are newsgroup posts about people saying it doesn't work, or that complex workarounds are required.

But it all... just […]

Is a wall of business speak better or worse for being written by a human instead of AI?

Someone out there believes qwen3:1.7b as a service is a valid business model.

And they absolutely have paying clients.

Startup prototype? Of course it’s build on MongoDB!

Another weekend, another batch of maintenance.
- Throwing together some granola, trying date syrup instead of honey
- gluing back together a swinging door that one of the spawn had wrecked (somehow forgot pictures)
- putting a fresh coat of Pedag creme polish […]

Wow, when did confluence get absolutely horrible?

- sidebars inside and outside document bodies
- toolbar headers inside and outside document bodies
- floating helper widgets everywhere
- insane default horizontal whitespace while navigation is obscured
- capabilities and content hidden under […]

Oh fun, I’ll be one of the mentors at this weekend’s PyData 2025 Newcomer Sprint on Sunday.

So if you’ve wanted to get a patch submitted to CPython, NumPy, Pandas, Spyder, Jupyter or something else, a handful of us will be there to find a reasonable first issue to work on, get it written […]

Every time I hear people say that “you are allowed to take up space”, I think to myself that two strong eyes of breath ought to be enough.

I made carbonara. It's better than it looks – the starchy water, egg yolk, and cheeses made the pasta perfectly creamy – but next time I'll at least double the pancetta and add a few more peas*.

(*I know, I know. But I like peas in carbonara.)

Honestly, why are people buying Kerrygold over the cheapest option? Is it being used in something so delicate you can taste that the cream was cultured? Is it because of the fraction less water than from American dairies, but not to the importance that ghee makes sense? As someone who makes […]

Publishing failures is so much harder because they happen so often, and often the end result looks like a bunch of salvage attempts that are hard to depict or describe. Success tends to look one way, failures come in all shapes and sizes.

This year’s beet harvest is officially a Learning Opportunity. Cultivar Bull’s Blood, planted 3” spaced, and left to mature full season. Didn’t cut and come again for greens, just tried to keep the roots.
The remaining leaves are mature, spotted, and mixed up […]
