I've stumbled upon this article before thanks to a tweet by @azforeman ( https://twitter.com/azforeman/status/1370779212697628672 ), which I'll reproduce here: > I once was sitting in O’Hare airport rea

In 2019, I wrote about the need for a web of documents [0], where I wrote about the importance of having static documents and sketched another approach. Gemini is a web of documents. A rudimentary one, but very content-focused – the signal-

Do yourself a favor and try dividing by zero!

I’ve observed a similar thing with Scrabble. After some years (18 by now) of tournament-level Scrabble playing, I’ve developed the anagramming ability: throw a rack at me and I’ll dump the Polish anagrams with 70-80% accuracy. I no longer r

It’s a secret plot by Atari to fry off the C64 users and rule the world. Fortunately, one is just a POKE53280,0:POKE53281,0:POKE646,1 away from evading this.

This is Lisp reinvented (arguably poorly, but people have different tastes, so who knows). Obligatory link to Slava Akhmechet’s ‘The Nature of Lisp’: https://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html

Ooh, this is just like Lisp’s CADR being a composition of CAR and CDR!

The funny thing is that up until Kaczyński openly admitted to the authorities using Pegasus, the authorities would respond to the accusations with derisive comments about a game console. Why a game console, of all things? Well, back in the

I used to be an instant-coffee person. I bought myself an aeropress and a Severin KM3873 grinder as a Christmas gift three years ago – with the idea that I'd sell it away if I found myself not using it – and discovered that: - I'm

It's the other way round. Good code is like good writing, because code _is_ writing: its primary purpose is to convey ideas. To computers, but more importantly, to other humans as well.

I’m in Poland and adhere to the local food customs. This means three meals a day: a moderate-size breakfast (typically sandwiches, sometimes cereal), large lunch around 1pm–2pm (main meal of the day – a hot dish sometimes prefixed with soup

That plural seems to be an addition of the Wikipedia editors. If you look at Karsky 1979 (page 197), there’s just one known manuscript that exhibits the phrase: > Любопытно очное о в слове многоочитїи в псалтыри XV века Тр.-Серг. л. No

My pet peeve is U+A66E (CYRILLIC LETTER MULTIOCULAR O, ꙮ) [0], a glyph that had literally been used once only in history by a 15-century scribe before making its way into Unicode. And when it did, the reference rendering (7-eyed) is diffe

ReactOS isn’t based on disassembly of the original Windows code. It’s based on publicly available documentation of Windows APIs (and reverse engineering those that aren’t documented, but that’s a whole different beast from disassembling). I

It depends on the mindset I guess. I’ve bought myself a reMarkable 2 with the approach that „I’m just getting an expensive toy” (ie not an everyday work tool, just a nice gizmo). And it’s been great, if a bit pricey. Some things I’ve used i

Gemtext doesn’t support images. You can, however, link to them, and Gemini clients are free to render them in-document when such a link is followed.

Felt like reading Poe’s “The Gold Bug” all over again. Or Conan Doyle’s “The Dancing Men,” which is a blatant rip-off of Poe.

Canonical missed a great opportunity by not naming 18.04 „Busy Beaver”.
