In period where everybody seems to care about the use of our content, I decided to take a stance: I will always make my content available to everybody, human and non-human alike.

March flew by in a blink.

Let’s explore the events from last month!

This has been a month of ups and downs.

After another 12 months, I am back with the traditional summary list of the books I read in the previous solar year.

This issue will be another reduced and unconventional one.

Jumping on the bandwagon of the default apps for 2023 blog trend.

After the obnoxious events of last October, I had no hope for November.

October was supposed to be ”The Month.”

In early September, I found myself in an emotional slump.

I often use SingleFile to archive the page I like.

I know, I am late, but I have a good excuse: I was on a short holiday break in my nearby town of Terracina.

ElevenLabs offers the best text-to-speech API on the market, and it is my go-to service when I want to have very good results.

I am writing a series of posts about the development of a new blog theme.

Time tracking is a popular productivity technique.

Notwithstanding the Sud-European heatwave, I survived.

Now that Arc is available without an invitation, many people will try it for the first time.

June was fine.

In the previous issue of the Changelog, I mentioned that May is my apathy month: a time when my motivation plummets, my mood darkens, and I become more introverted than usual.

I was recently faced with the perplexing problem of making Spring and MongoDB serialize/deserialize a polymorphic class.

I stumbled upon an old screenshot of my favorite piece of software as a kid: Lotus Organizer.

They say that to err is human, but to persist is diabolical.

There is a little trick I find helpful to get unstuck.

A couple of years ago, I wrote critically about Mastodon.

The first month of the year is always a month of change.

I believe nothing describes a person better than looking at the books they read.

Oh, December.

This November has been weird.

Finite-State Machines (FSM) are the bread-and-butter of game AI due to their simplicity (both in implementation and theory) and effectiveness.

It was an October that didn’t look like October: the maximum temperatures never went under 25 °C; it was almost always sunny, and everything looked more like spring than autumn.

In one of my earliest memories, on a warm sunny morning, I am in my school backyard with my teachers and schoolmates.

September is the best month.

August was my summer vacation month.

I saw a bit of a heated debate around generative AI and AI art.

Every time a new month begins, I start looking for something different to do.

This issue came a bit earlier.

Why am I starting again with the monthly changelogs?

Hey, everyone.

This is just a reminder for an undesirable side effect of some Obsidian’s Plugin: they make your notes Obsidian-dependent.

I stumbled into the Small Web.

Razbuten always nails it (great minds think alike, they say 😃).

Events are an intuitive way to model the execution flows of applications when several modules, each one with complex lifecycles, need to synchronize with each other.

I do not think Postman is bad (in the general sense), but it is the piece of software I hate the most that I need to use on a daily basis.

Let’s continue our exploration of novel kinda-low-level languages.
