I will not stop reading code anytime soon. LLMs can generate code that's correct and even performant, but I frequently find it too complex. And I hate accidental complexity - it compounds very quickly and leads to cruft, bugs, and, ultimately, slow and unreliable software.

Fear is contagious, but so too is courage. If we are afraid together, then let us be brave together. Witness our courage take root and grow, and watch as our challenges crumble at the sight of our glory.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I made a zine with instructions on how to build a cheap & effective air purifier (1-fan CR Box). The folder also has a presentation version of the instructions. Link

Materials are just a box fan, the box the fan comes in, & MERV 13 filter held together with tape (design based on optimizations/testing by David Elfstrom).

One of the reasons I don't take the "what about the rapists?" objection to abolition seriously is because after 250 years of the current system, an allegation of shoplifting is met with deadly force and a rape conviction gets probation. And the punishment for shoplifting is way, WAY more common.

The emphasis on how autistic kids will "never pay taxes, never hold a job" (which is bullshit) gives the game away. He's a eugenicist who wants you to believe that people with autism can't be productive members of society and are therefore surplus to requirements.

The solution in mind at the moment is an electronic deadbolt because it doesn't require digging for keys and tying up that hand. The boy is too damn fast me.

However when we come home or when locking the door when we leave, that is one less hand that can manage the Running Man. On a couple of occasions he has decided to bolt for the street while hands are full at the door.

Jeffrey Hulten 🅅 @jeffreyhulten.com · 26/05/2026

Leaving is not yet a problem and the deadbolt wont help with that unless we require keys on both sides (which most electronic locks don't do and isn't particularly safe in residential settings).

No matter who you are, if you are running a platform or a making a product that collects user data, you need to have a plan for what happens when the government shows up and asks for it, you need to share that policy with that users, and publish a transparency report.

It feels inhumane that you can’t opt out of commercials for addictive products. People should be able to one-click their way out of ever seeing ads for stuff like alcohol, drugs, and sports betting on apps and streaming services. This shouldn’t be controversial at all and should be very easy to do.

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

The months between signing and ratification were a busy period for the country. The proceedings of the Constitutional Convention had been kept secret, so each state needed to inform its voters of what exactly the proposed new government contained. Congress therefore directed the state legislatures to call ratification conventions in each state, with delegates specifically elected to approve or disapprove the new government.

However, this meant that each state from New Hampshire to Georgia had to receive a copy of the text, submit it to public debate, elect delegates, meet, vote, and return the results to Philadelphia. In an era where the speed of travel was limited by horseback, stagecoach, and boat, this was no quick feat. After the end of the Convention the news of the Constitution spread out in a wave, and thousands of copies were republished by local printers and distributed for debate. A flurry of newspaper articles, pamphlets, and public meetings followed, hotly debating whether the Constitution would be a good framework for a new national government.

Part of the debate and ratification process involved translation: non-negligible portions of the electorate spoke languages other than English. To reach them, the document was translated into Dutch in New York and German in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
