Basic geo tag

I like to geo-tag all my "stuff" so of course I also like to geo-tag my blog posts. I just wrote a tiny little plugin to do that. I looked at a whole bunch of plugins, I used Simple Location for a while until I realized that all of them are doing way too much....

First impressions of my MacBook Air

So, I finally did it. I got my MacBook Air. I went for 16GB because it was cheaper, and I want to dip my toe in before even thinking about committing to the Mac ecosystem. And so far, with the few days I've had it, it's been really good, although with some big caveats. The...

Mein Smartphone für ViertklässlerInnen

Grob gesagt habe ich Folgendes gemacht: Auf einem Android-Smartphone das originale Betriebssystem durch eine Android-Variante ohne Google-Apps und -Dienste ersetzt. Wichtig: Das Betriebssystem sollte aus einer seriösen Quelle stammen und Sicherheitsupdates liefern. Folgende Apps installiert: F-Droid (für freie Open-Source-Apps), Kiwix (für Offline-Lexika), Conversations (Familienchat über Jabber/XMPP), Signal und Fennec (eine freie Firefox-Variante aus F-Droid).

Decomplecting actors

How would Rich Hickey decomplect the actor model ? I’m thinking: Messages: immutable values Queues: actor inboxs (and outboxes) become queues (see Queues decouple producer from consumer ) State: state is stored by ID in a KV store (see…

Decomplecting means using IDs

If you're going to decomplect a class into a bunch of component slices, you're going to need a way to tie those slices together. You need identifiers that you can use across multiple systems. So you'll be using a lot of globally-unique identifiers…

WordPress, one month later.

It might be too soon, but I wanted to make this post anyway because it's been on the mind lately. Last month or so, I decided after hopping on and wrangling with static site generators to dismiss them as a whole, and I decided to make the jump to WordPress. And frankly, I don't regret...

Sidra Review

So, Apple Music has two problems: The Windows app kinda sucks. There's no app for Linux. The Linux part, I can understand. The Windows part, however, I don't - right now I've got a problem where it says "An unknown error occurred", and I think it's because I had to briefly use Wi-Fi instead of...

An ideological split in the Linux desktop (LLMs)

So, Linus Torvalds has come out and said that LLMs are just a tool, and that Linux is not considered to be an anti-AI project. This has caused anti-AI people to crash out on social media, down to making very embarrassing conspiracies about Linus Torvalds being "compromised" when really he seems to be a no-bullshit...

Getting flag emoji on Windows (11)

Due to political reasons, Microsoft has actively refused to add flag emojis on Windows 11. Given how common flag emojis are, it's honestly more annoying than I thought it'd be, especially when discussing international events like Eurovision where these emoji would be useful. People use these flags to denote their nationality, or a country they...

You Aren't Doing Agile

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. You’re starting a new job in software and you ask someone from your new team about their process and how work is prioritized. They say something about being an Agile team and working in sprints (one or two weeks in length, usually), but you look at the backlog and see tickets that won’t be worked on for several months with specific acceptance criteria and story points attached, linked to some sort of planning document that stretches out for months or even...

What I didn't know I was navigating as a Junior Engineer

Lately I've been feeling like I'm doing a lot, but also not sure what I'm becoming yet. Some days I'm deep in frontend technical trivia (typography, interactions, pagination or virtual scrolling). Other days I zoom out and think :"Wait, what problem are we even solving for users? Is it worth solving?" Also, I'm reading about training pipelines, datasets, reward models… wondering how all of this fits together. It feels messy.
