Apple’s Lisa computer turned 40 and Computer History Museum had received a permission to release the source code for the Lisa software, including its system and applications software.

Stumbled upon an interesting video by Andrej Karpathy talking about building Generatively Pretrained Transformer (GPT).

While moving to Berlin, naturally I needed to open a new bank account.

Proving you’re a human on a web flooded with generative AI content Humans who want to engage in informal, unoptimised, personal interactions have to hide in closed spaces like invite-only Slack channels, Discord groups, email newsletters, small-scale blog…

Stumbled upon a great PBS interview between David Brancaccio and Kurt Vonnegut and found a great life rule to live by: DAVID BRANCACCIO: There’s a little sweet moment, I’ve got to say, in a very intense book– your latest– in which you’re heading out the d…

I stumbled upon this recent New York Times article which, to be honest, was one of the most heartening things I’ve read in a long time.

Stumbled upon a great interview/conversation between one of my favourite writers AND one of my favourite songwriters!

As some of you may know, I have a soft spot for functional programming.

I found this great quote from Richard P.

My blogging, or at least the topics and themes of it, has always been quite volatile, to say the least.

I’ve been living in Berlin for under a year, which has made a small dent in my reading habits.

For years, I’ve been a relatively voracious reader, but for one reason or another, I’ve never really given too much thought to my reading.

Climbing and training for it have been my “mainstay” for quite some time.

This is a collection of promotional and commercial work done by the Symbolics Graphics Division (and customers) showing off the capabilities of the Symbolics LISP Machine.

I’ve always found tremendous value in testing my software.

So I wanted to add a “Now playing” footer to my posts so I can easily share the music I’m listening to.

Stumbled upon this weird experimental avant-garde jazz black metal type of band a while ago and have been loving them ever since!

So I found myself in Berlin after living many good years in Helsinki.

First, I would like to say I think Kubernetes is an excellent platform for its intended purposes.

Some time ago, I wrote a short post about my feelings towards web analytics which were sparked due to a spike in visitors on my site (mainly coming from Hacker News).

Lately, I have dedicated a large part of my free time to audio software.

This blog is a few years old, and during its time, it has had a couple of different style changes (and a couple of domain changes).

I’m very prone to procrastination.

I have always enjoyed reading about other people’s productivity hacks and workflows, in general, regarding whatever they might be doing.

Since the discussion about artificial intelligence has become mainstream, I have started to ponder AI’s possible impacts on our day-to-day lives.

Code reading has always been an activity I’ve just done without giving any thought to it.

I’ve started to ponder the repercussions of this trend of extravagant architectural choices in the tech industry.

I started to rekindle my, unfortunately, lost writing habit a couple of weeks ago.

When talking about the tools of the trade, almost regardless of the industry, email seems to be a vital tool.

A few years ago, I had a habit of semi-regularly writing about various exciting topics.

Docker has recently stormed into software development.
