“The primary feature for easy maintenance is locality: Locality is that characteristic of source code that enables a programmer to understand that source by looking at only a small portion of it.” #RichardGabriel

We have extended the submission deadline to Monday, August 31! We wanted to make sure folks have enough time to explore their wildest ideas. Take some time this summer to write a chapter submission for Augment!

what does it meant that a computer is optimised for AI? that it has 5 TB RAM and 200 GPUs?

Does this work? I got tired of not writing so i made a little blog for, like, Internet opinions. notes.piercegleeson.com/researching-...

Hello, may I speak to the manager? I was supposed to be part of the innovator class who automated other people's jobs and, not part of the precariat whose jobs were automated away

The path to enlightenment is an asymptote.

The Dutch mobility system isn't just built around cycling. It's built around bike-train intermodality: cycling solves the train's convenience problem and the train solves cycling's range problem. Together, they offer an attractive alternative to driving on a mass scale. WATCH: youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc

Hire this man to make your event absolutely slam. He does custom shit all the time and he delivers very consistent cool stuff. Live coding DJ, teaching your devs something to exercise their creativity, sky is the limit.

Prototyping as praxis.

We’re doing a user study to find out how adding always-on live values alongside code effects writing and debugging experiences for functional programming. See reply for sign-up details

Speaking of orbital geometry, Todd Humphries and Veritasium just released an excellent video showing the clever detective work involved in tracking down the space-based source of GNSS interference over Europe. Surprise, it's Russian. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz23...

These look like photos from a fictitious alternate history, maybe part of an SCP story, but they're tetrahedral kites designed by Alexander Graham Bell. publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...

Gonna be in SF for a week starting next Thursday the 11th, & I'd love to go to nerd meetups. I like DANK and BAFFLING—like if someone is lecturing on building non-Euclidean world models in Zig or doing an EA-based puppet show where all the characters are open source licenses—I want INCOMPREHENSIBLE.

Output for most languages has not much improved in ~50 years: still linear text. But many program values would be far better off *diagrammed*. PL, cogsci, graph drawing, proofs and performance come together in our new system, Spytial! Give it a try at blog.brownplt.org/2026/05/22/s...

"i want to make a thing, but i specifically don't want to understand how it works" is such a weird mindset ...

Programming in #Clojure on the #reMarkable, the way God intended. (Better video and a writeup coming soon)

Finally squint has browser nREPL support in the latest release! github.com/squint-cljs/... #squintcljs #clojure #clojurescript

FreeBSD and OpenBSD both boot on the PinePhone Pro, but neither has support for modem, WiFi, &c. I would definitely accept funding to write {Free,Net,Open}BSD device drivers for that unsupported hardware.

This absolutely barking mad scheme dialect feels like a combination of several of my weird kinks, but is also vibe coded and has support for notation in Standard Babylonian Akkadian (!). Sample error message: 𒀭 ḫiṭītu — great fault github.com/deconstructo...

the replacements.fyi site now lets you drop a package.json into it to see which dependencies can be replaced with native functionality, or more performant choices 🎉

Today I tried to connect to a nearby Mac from my cmux terminal via ssh. It failed. I checked all network settings on my Mac and the remote Mac. Everything was fine. After 2h of searching and testing it turned out that the cmux app wasn’t granted the system permission to access local network 🤦‍♂️#macOS

In Plan 9 in ~2001, we introduced "private" processes that even a sysadmin couldn't access, debug, etc. I just learned Windows Vista added the same in 2007. The difference? We did it to protect keys held by the security agent, while Windows did it to protect media content. Priorities! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"It’s OK to Want to Have a Good Time" has quickly risen to a key position in my personal canon: drops.dagstuhl.de/storage/01oa...

Today, I'm excited to announce our next title! "Augment" is a forthcoming book featuring a collection of essays on the future of personal computing — specifically, on the kind we’d like to see more of in the future, and the ideas that might help us get there.

“I now believe that thinking [...] is the best debugging tool of all, because it leads to better software.” #RobPike https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1941206

we're hiring a Lead Product Designer at Bluesky. we've built the foundation — now we need someone to lead our design team and bring a fresh vision for how this app should look and feel. crazy fun & rare opportunity for the right leader! jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i...

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

ROOTS: lisacharlottemuth.com/bringing-eve... ideally i bring music, visualizations, blog posts for other sites, and open source projects, to establish independence and survive the inevitable collapse of bandcamp/github/etc

I've been working on something that involves a bit of shell automation this week. @borkdude.bsky.social's Babashka is such a treat in that context! #clojure

You may have heard that the Banach-Tarski paradox is a consequence of the group of spatial rotations SO(3) having a subgroup that is free on two generators. But what does that look like? Answer: Roughly like this! kyleormsby.github.io/F2-in-SO3/ 1/n 🧮
