Yeah, that really sucks. I couldn’t quite believe what was the case and spent many hours trying to debug it.

I’m starting to feel that comments about an article being AI-generated are super low value AND super low effort. Who cares? Soon most of the text you’ll be dealing with is gonna be…

I have been a die hard emacs user for 20 years, and I have a very nice emacs setup (if a little bit idiosyncratic, but all emacs configs are idiosyncratic). However, recently I rea…

My favorite Le Carre book is probably The Perfect Spy (especially that it is autobiographical to a great extent).

I find it hilarious how Dogs of War is different as the book and the movie. The movie is a classical '80s thing with big guns and explosions. The book on the other hand gets into g…
