For me boredom hits when I'm working on some kind of 'not changing the world in a positive way' project. I believe every project has it's boring parts. But when the goal is positive it helps to get thrue.

Some time ago there was a post about this (I can't find it). People don't understand what monads are because they don't know what problem they solve. This article has the same problem. It doesn't explain what problem cat

Unfortunately you would be amazed and ashamed. In the USA it's estimated that one third of the homeless people suffer a serious mental illness. I live in the Netherlands and I think the numbers are the same here. Ofcourse there is help

Very cool. This reminds me of a talk by Brett Victor [1] "The Humane Representation of Thought". Brett thinks we are limiting ourselfs by expressing our thoughts in a mostly 2D scaled down domain. This protopiper is a great exampl

I had a low tech reef tank so I know it's possible to keep one at very low cost. But because everything is so fragile you have to know what you are doing. That's why most serious reef keepers know about this coral. Those corals ca

To me it feels Apple and Uber are years behind Google. Today it's not very difficult to build a self driving car. But over the years Google developed a gigantic network of all kinds of data used by the cars.

It's the Internet of Way Too Many Insecure Things That Never Get Updated that worries me most... When your house has one door and two windows it isn't very hard to lock your house. Having gadgets you forgot about is another story.

As Christopher Alexander explains in his books: we forgot how important it is to build for humans. I think that's the core of the problem. But sometimes it's difficult to see what this means. Building roads for cars isn't bad
