The animation at the top is worryingly misleading. The airplane that crashed was a Beechcraft twin turboprop, and the plane maneuvered a couple of times before crashing. It had 4 people inside it. The animation uses what looks like an airli

Although it's not its main topic, I enjoyed Ian Morris' Why the West Rules—For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future , which goes over this in a way that really fascinated me. The book's ideas s

They hardly refused to talk. See them answering his questions in the full video of the call, if you can still stomach him talking. There was an awkward silence in the middle. Even so, it's not good to spin this event into something it

As a kid in the 90s I discovered indoor free flight(1). It's a hobby where you build flying machines with balsa wood and carburator paper, and you power them with elastic bands using an old clock mechanism. Then people compete to see w

I just launched Kyaraben, it's an alternative to EmuDeck that autoconfigures Syncthing for your devices. For those not in in that niche, the goal is to set up a Linux desktop or Steam Deck for retro (and not so retro) video game emulat

NixOS rocks, but if there is some software you need to install to comply with company policies (e.g. Vanta) then you may be in for some unexpected tinkering. I would suggest Home Manager though, which will let you set up your environment ju

Made me think of my own insistence on relying on the existence of RCTs for a lot of things related to health...

The website could mention that. Since I did not discover this website's affiliation with OpenAI until I found the GitHub repo, I had assumed that this is purely an informative website, and as such I expected it to mention the agent too

This seems much more insightful than the website in the OP. Thanks!

Interestingly, the old one mentioned CLAUDE.md and ln -s, but the new one does not. The whole website is just a marketing/partnerships battle, it seems.

Strange website. It is made by OpenAI. I suppose they are doing this to gain visits and as marketing positioning? There is no format here, just a filename. Also, Anthropic/Claude is a glaring omission. I suppose people can use symbolic

Author here, posting a self-review. I've realized most of my blog post is not really about NixOS, it's just about this particular TUXEDO laptop requiring special tweaks to work properly. I've set up Debian 13 with Nix (plus H

A while ago I made a fortune database that draws from Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. I used to have a tmux pane that ran them on my work session boot script :)

The Snowman (1982), a short Christmas animated film. I'm not sure it counts as silent, but it's a great piece of art nevertheless.

Can it be database-agnostic and 100% expressive at the same time? Perhaps expressiveness is different depending on the engine. SQLx comes close to this btw.

I bought a Biostar J4125NHU motherboard and put it in a small case with two 2.5 HDDs and two SSDs and am using it to download shows and movies from a Usenet provider and stream them with Jellyfin. The motherboard was a huge pain to work wit

Totally off-topic, but while reading this I was thinking "that is exactly what I would say". Then I saw your username... it looks like we share not only a taste for monitors but also a surname!
