I recently ran `df` and was surprised to see that I'd used more than half of the two terabyte SSD in my laptop. So, being apparently atypically proactive, my first action was delet…

I wouldn't say that no one cares, but obviously many fewer people care when the cost of "recompiling" a model from its open source training pipeline is so high. Also, if you only h…

If CPU launches are being delayed until next year due to high memory prices, I wish I shared the CPU manufacturers' optimism the memory prices will be lower next year.

Would you like to have a version with a TrackPoint even if you have managed to live without it? With all these boutique laptop brands, I hope that one of them will eventually produ…

Jon Peterson's "Playing at the World" is a fantastic book. Highly recommend!

The first thing I searched for was Deadlock, but was saddened when I realised they weren't talking about Deadlock: Planetary Conquest

That is true of all languages, but I think that Cantonese has a particularly high change velocity in terms of vocabulary and pronunciation compared to, say, English. I think this i…

A DVI* signal is logically very similar to a VGA one, but with a different physical layer. The analogue colour signals are replaced with TMDS encoded digital ones, but the pixel cl…

As far as old-school 3D effects go, I like this tutorial on ray casting: https://permadi.com/1996/05/ray-casting-tutorial-1/ It's great to see something similar on the effects used…

I grew up in the 90s and we played conkers. The main detail I remember was that soaking them in vinegar was supposed to make them stronger!

One time I was baking a cake from an online recipe, probably just after recipe sites discovered the importance of verbosity for SEO. I found myself struggling a bit because the rec…

I think "error oracle" is actually a great piece of terminology that really gets to the heart of the nature of the problem. Not as bombastic though!

Moron, Idiot, and Imbecile were coined as precise medical terms by Dr Henry H Goddard in the 1900-10s. Retard(ed) was devised as a euphemism to replace them in the 1960s. Once an u…
