After having implemented AES I tried to implement GCM, but failed at doing it from some papers. Then I failed translating it from a reference C implementation to scheme. Then I gave up and implemented OCB(3) mode. And I was happy to see tha

Writing brainfuck compilers has been one of mine "let's learn this language" things for a long time. It quickly turns into a rabbit hole though: I have a compiler somewhere that does all kinds of funny things: I got stuck at

So, I would say the idea of dynamic redefinition is probably the big thing: In cl I can redefine a class and have all instances updated while the program is running. I would also say that the error management is also beyond fantastic. Say y

I got an Hp prodesk for a something like 140 bucks (8500t) a couple of years ago from a company that went bankrupt. My laptop stopped working and I never got a new one. Now I have a proper monitor (4k, 27 inch), proper keyboard (Matias quie

For me CML is probably the nicest concurrency thing I know. It might not be as general as the actor model, but is much nicer to work with. What made me look into it was an interview with Mike Sperber where he said that CML was usually the f

The promises of self driving cars have always seemed weird to me. Sure, I would love to have a world where all cars are self driving. The security benefits seem large. But decreasing congestion? We already know how to do that, and in many w

What on earth are you trying to say with that comment? That my medicines being public information is comparable to taxable income public information? I don't thing I know anyone who would agree...

was it SR or SVT that found the 1177/medicall calls on some kind of unsecured network storage? For those.outside of sweden, those are calls either with a doctor or with a nurse where you will divulge information that should be protect

I found that whenever I am stuck on browsers without ad blocking I tend to use my home country's public service website. It is amazing compared to the main page of just about all other news outlet, despite containing more rich content

Building on this, the vaccination programmes of the EU countries have converged to the extent that I was able to vaccinate my 3 month old in accordance to the Swedish vaccination programme while on vacation in Portugal by just showing up at

I use it as a bookmarks manager together with about 30 lines of shell scripts. It has been my bookmark file format since 2013. It is clunky, kind of awkward to use, but I wrote it myself. I have been wanting to rewrite it in guile using sim

Tito was a dictator with all what that means, but he remains popular in large parts of former Yugoslavia. The main exception being the Albanians. Anecdata: I remember a poll where something like 4/5 of the Serbians asked considered lif

i stopped using Facebook, google and Twitter in 2012. I am even more sick of it now. Back then I didn't like what it did to me, and I really disliked the fact that we were giving a private company such an important part of human commun

The telegram web page claims on the first page: > Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct. How is Joe Average supposed to understand that? Adding to that, the secret chat encryption has always been Weird (capital W)

Of course not. Telegram managed to catch all the people who like that they are not Google and Facebook, while also not caring enough about actual encryption. I had telegram installed for almost 3 years. I never had a secret chat that I did

It took me almost 15 years to find swimming. Whenever I feel life is starting to get away from me I make sure to go to the pool 5 times a week. I don't swim very far. Just 1000-2500m.

Full size fridge and freezer from 2015, forced ventilation fan (which is probably around 35-60w), one server (a repurposed office computer) and 2 WiFI hotspots, one of those Google speakers, a router (USG) and a PoE switch. Those are the bi

They also get to to OSS work on their project of choice for a pretty decent chunk of their time (15 or 20%). One of the maintainers of guile scheme has such a deal IIRC, and works quite a lot on guile through work.

I was reading the claws feature list, and saw an example of what must now be regarded as backwards thinking: the data is stored in MH meaning you can export your mail from another client to MH and export your data just as easy.

I always thought I was dumb. Everyone I know says "python just clicked for me", and I have been writing python on and off since 2003 and I have hated every moment of it. About 75% of the bugs I write seem to be about mutable state

I seem to be confusing nuclear disasters. Anyway, the explosions in Fukushima could have been prevented with hydrogen ventilation chimneys that had been standard equipment since the early 70s.
