Time to invest in storage in Greece…

Who would’ve thunk that harnessing that big flaming ball in the sky would make total sense! Crazy… right? I thought gutting the planet for its resources and then releasing their harmful fumes in the air was a much better idea 🤔 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

So umami is the fifth basic taste 🤔 That deep, savoury flavour you get from Parmesan, mushrooms or a rich broth. I find it interesting that Japanese has a specific word for it, while Greek doesn’t seem to have an exact equivalent. «Νοστιμιά» comes close, but it’s more general.

🧘 Insight from Seneca: “Withdraw into yourself, as far as you can. Associate with those who will make a better man of you. Welcome those whom you yourself can improve. The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach.”

Got a Samsung tv?

Such wonderful ideas coming from a USA scientist. He left early. I wonder what he’d say if he was still around.

Bragging about my DDR5 64GB desktop memory to impress random strangers these days

You can put a lot of upfront work for observability and system monitoring but all the systems I've worked with over the years had to mature for months and years before you could "catch-everything". There's a misconception a lot of times that it should work like that from day 1.

“Dad, you have the nose of a wizard” I think my daughters gave me the best compliment I’ve ever gotten. To think, I had a complex about my nose as a teenager.

Fucks sake… I jinxed it with my last post 🤣

I built a Command & Conquer style RTS called Battle Drones, mainly using Claude Opus 5.5, which runs in the browser and includes device-to-device multiplayer over an audio link simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/20/...

Do you use Feature Switches? For teams who are used to cherry-pick commits against long lived branches, trying to get them to embrace the practice in common branches so their code can remain dormant until ready is like Morpheus trying to convince Neo that he can indeed jump across.

Reading the Silo book series, I am a bit shocked by the delta between tv and book

It's been a while since my last Piano performance. This time, I play Alicia from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. An amazing piece from a really memorable game soundtrack. I hope you like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Ni...

A great day for BBQ

💡 Reflection by Montaigne: “When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.”

Good old Musky I read these things, I am not surprised, and I am happy to have left his platform, and any aspiration of ever owning a thing he produces.

I think one trait that makes me wary of new acquaintances is their inability to properly laugh

I read this and I am skeptical of open Chinese models for instance…

The beginning of the end of code reviews. Next twelve months are going to change a lot. linear.app/now/reviewin...

This is a very interesting post from Karpathy. I even see it in my domain. The gap is real and many people despite being given the tools, they have barely scratched the surface of what’s possible.

Good thing my Expobar espresso machine is dummer than a brick

I love this. Keeping ideas for the house…

Amazing. Implemented an MCP server for my side project, a finances oversight app and now I have it all at my finger tips via ChatGPT. Here asking for insights on my car fuel spending based on the last twelve months whereby the household also switched much of our movement to electric.

What a fascinating post …! I didn’t even know about this aspect of nature
