Back in the day, I watched NerdΒ³ (read it as Nerd Cubed). It just occurred to me that he picked that name because he started with Minecraft let’s play videos, and Minecraft is made out of cubes. 🀯 Such a nerdy choice. πŸ™‚

Ugh… I have the code; I am pretty sure it will work in production, and I cannot figure out how to test it on the dev environment. I read so much documentation today.

Would it be interesting plot twist if the government meant Java under “save” language, not Rust.

While I was in the shower, I had an idea: it’s a search engine without a search bar; it’s going to work like the front page of YouTube, essentially a recommendation engine for the web.

I wonder if it already exists; I would use it.

I have a stupid tick; then I realize I am about to click on the wrong button, and instead of not doing it, I double-click on the button. 🀦🏻

There are two types of hard: (1) it is hard, and you like it; (2) you don’t like it (and it does not matter if it is hard or easy). And it is different for different people. Like fishing, some people like it, some people hate it. Or reading books. Or programming/coding. Find the …

Many influencers take multiple complicated topics and just pick a side. I think this is one of the reasons why they are becoming popular; it drives engagement. Personally, if I do not understand the problem fully, I tend not to discuss it. Ethics of AI training on human art scrap…

I wish I could record my life and look back on VODs, because sometimes I am quite sure I did a thing, but I don’t have proof.

I don’t remember what I did on Friday. What happened on Friday stays on Friday. Happy Monday.

It all started with the cheese on the bottom. smh Google πŸ™‚

While I was on my evening walk, I thought about a type of game called “Memory Palace.” It is not a game but a place in the game engine with an FPS look where you can store your memories: small notes, drawings, reminders, voice records, TODOs, calendars, maps, website links, scree…

I would say programming is not the same as coding. Soon, we may not need to code because of the advancement of AI, but we will still need to program for a while.

There is a very simple but still interesting consequence of the pigeonhole principle. No matter how well you mix your Rubik’s cube, every side will have at least two pieces of the same color.

Companies like to slap subscriptions on everything; I think in many cases, they are hurting themselves. I probably would be okay with paying $1 for the service I needed, but then they offer $1/year. Nope… I pass.

A lot of timeless art was made during the artist’s struggles, in poverty. The Starry Night by van Gogh was created while he was in an asylum; Don Quixote was written from prison. I don’t feel we should intentionally put people in struggle to benefit the rest of humanity. Let peop…

2 years ago, Vladimir Putin started a special military operation in Ukraine. It is still going. 😞

I tried Palworlds for 10 minutes, but my frames were really bad (about 10 FPS). I think it is because I have 3 GPUs and Linux, so the game got confused.

You know, I mentioned we have all the necessary tools to just focus on making products. Can someone smart distract from saving humanity and spend some little time making shader compilers faster, please?

Do you know that emacs has a better version of man pages? It’s called woman.

I think one of the facets of Richard Feynman’s brilliance is his ability to explain phenomena directly using normal human language; he explains things in simple terms, and at the end, he just mentions casually: BTW, this thing we call superposition.

I found that sometimes I get …

I never needed glasses; Now I need reading glasses. It is such a pain, they dig in my nose bridge, dust affects the optics, it is hard to clean them, I cannot touch my face. I cannot wrap my head around of the fact, for the rest of my life I have to deal with it.

It is below my paycheck. I’ll happily do it. πŸ™‚

App developers cannot be wrong: X Window System, Xbox, Xcode, macOS X, Xerox, Xfinity, xfce, x86, xz, excel. We must use ‘X’ in the product name. More ‘Xes’ is better. How about measuring the size of the company by the number of ‘Xes’? Triple X tech firm Tesla… πŸ˜›

If you need a virtual monitor for your Quest under Linux, you can use Immersed https://immersed.com/. It is not FOSS but has a free as beer option. It’s just a regular app on the Oculus app store, no need to switch to developer mode, no need to install Side Quest, no need to bu…

Did you see the famous writer’s meltdown about Twitter? I think it would be funny if Elon Musk buys Microsoft and renames Windows to XWindow. The nice thing is he doesn’t need to rename Xbox.
