Nature Holds Awe, Man – NHAM Mixtape 11

This nature-inspired mixtape has been slowly building over the last 6 months or so. Finally complete with 12 tracks it is now ready to burst in to the scene in perfect harmony with the natural world outside my window, which is flourishing with foliage, blossom and bird song.

The radio show version of this mixtape (where you have to put up with me talking a bit too) can be found on Audio Interface (@audiointerface) from the first Monday of the month.

1. Mistrise by gribbles
CC BY-NC-ND 3.0
@gribbles

Opening up with the serenity of a waking morning in pure, clean air surrounded by nothing but nature. The beauty of the day beginning as the mist rises. Captured perfectly by the talented gribbles, who has some live dates coming up later this year. If you’re in the UK see if you’re near enough to make it.

2. How rich will i make the soil by wallamide

@walladiethylamidemossy coydog's colonial jihad

“We come from nature, to nature we one day return. Life is a wild accumulation of circumstances that are the products of tons of factors.” The EP of the same name that this song comes from is music to contemplate our place in the natural order of the universe. Some serious textures here.

@kel

Speaking of textures. Mmmmmm. I’m imagining these are some of the sounds gorse makes when plugged in to an amp! kel has very kindly offered up some first-come-first-serve free download codes for the album this song features on. Copy and paste one of them here to download 13 tracks for free. t3y3-hnpv, v76y-yzy4, 7m3n-76nm, xrvm-v6v6, qvb6-6yzy.

4. The River by me:she
All Rights Reserved
@meshe🫧 🌸 🫧

Michelle Dumond makes beautiful music, some with accompanying videos. Many of her videos already feature in the WATCH area of NHAM. This one comes from quite deep in her back catalogue – the final song on the 2010 album, ‘The Moondrops’. All of her music is well worth checking out and flowing through … like a river.

5. Sequoia by MOULE
All Rights Reserved
@MOULEMOULE | :CTRL: Album Out Now!

Possibly the most prolific artist I’ve encountered yet, MOULE is represented in Sequoia as an adventurous, easy-going individual who appreciates nature, and knows that because life is short we need to make the most of it.

6. Flares by Lehto
All Rights Reserved
@lehto𝗟𝗲𝗵𝘁𝗼✨

David Hanke aka Lehto released an album called Northbound in 2023 that focuses on his love for nature and the northern hemisphere. Flares is the penultimate track from the album and for me it manages to capture both the stillness and the epic greatness of nature in one hit.

7. The Waterfall by Kydia
All Rights Reserved
@KydiaMusicCat Lady Kydia Music 🇺🇦

I love listening to Kydia. She has a beautiful voice. She also has some beautiful cats who are a joy to receive updates from on her Mastodon feed. The slow beat in The Waterfall is reminiscent of Active Child.

8. Dew by Clément Bertine
All Rights Reserved 
@cbertineClément Bertine

French-speaking Clément Bertine makes improvised music that is free-minded, lively, for the heart, full of melancholy or joy, spiritual and radical. Dew is part of a ten-track journey in the album, ‘Inwards’: A walk exploring new horizons, with the dew redefining the journey and enabling the traveller to pause and breathe.

9. Jackdaw by Helen Bell
All Rights Reserved
@helenbellmusicHelen Bell

A nature themed mix wouldn’t be complete without a track from the wonderful Helen Bell. I’ve purposefully picked songs in this mix that communicate the positivity of nature. This has meant passing on many great tracks which lament the destruction of it. Here is the exception for it would be remiss of me not to leave some kind of reminder as to how precious nature is for all of us.

10. Growing up is for trees by Jenny Berger Myhre
All Rights Reserved
@jennybmJenny Berger Myhre

A wonderful title. And wonderful words throughout. Norwegian multidisciplinary artist Jenny Berger Mhyre creates intimate soundscapes of everyday life from field recordings, fragments of songs, conversations, granular and modular synths. The conversation in this track speaks to the importance of holding on to our obtained maturity and wisdom whilst still being connected to our inner child.

11. Solarised by Bedlam Steps
CC BY-SA 4.0
@bedlamsteps

We’re all affected by exposure to the light and heat of the sun. Bedlam Steps is Bradford-based Simon Greenwood, and this sumptuous offering comes from his debut EP Patterns and Shades, released this year.

12. Sunset Shore by Ordos Mk.0
All Rights Reserved
@ordosmarkzeroOrdos Mk.0

Closing out in as serene a manner as we came in. Ordos Mk.0 is on the shore watching the sun set on another NHAM mixtape. This song was specifically created to match an image of the sun setting and reflecting on a calm shore. Success.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this journey through nature: NHAM’s ode to the most wonderful source of inspiration, the thing that connects us all and gives us everything we cherish. It’s too easy to take it for granted so this mixtape is our little pause for reflection and respect.

작년이나 재작년쯤에는 다른 언어보다 영어를 더 잘 알아먹고 대답도 영어로 더 잘해서 영어를 써야한다고 했었는데
요즘은 워낙 발전해서 영어랑 한국어 별 차이 없고, 다만 영어가 같은 의미의 프롬프트를 더 적은 토큰으로 쓸 수 있어서 영어를 써야한다고 하는게 신기함

Schiller got dinged a little over trying to cover for the fact that Apple's link-out design rules made people use tiny text links rather than buttons, but the court has documents pretty explicitly showing that this was all meant to stifle developers from linking out effectively.

Understanding that developers use visually prominent buttons to attract users to click on a link (as recommended by Apple in other contexts), Apple’s own witness Mr. Fischer testified that he could think of no other reason to require developers to use a plain-link-style “button” other than to stifle competition.38 Mr. Schiller, who sat through both sets of evidentiary hearings, attempted to reverse course on this admission, claiming that Apple required the plain-link-style button so that the external link would look like hyperlinks or other internet links that consumers are used to seeing, along with a link-out icon, which Apple also refers to as a “button”. (Feb. 2025 Tr. 1166:15-1167:14 (Schiller).)39 Yet, Apple prohibits developers from using what their consumers would expect to see as an actual “button.” (May 2024 Tr. 82:18–23 (Fischer); see also Feb. 2025 Tr. 1531:4– 1533:24 (Oliver).) At the end of the day, Apple’s internal documents reflect the underlying motivation to stifle competition by cabining developers’ ability to attract users to alternate payment methods: “How much can we limit what devs do with the text and links?” (CX-1104.2 (notes of June 1, 2023 meeting).) The Court notes here that while, generally speaking, Mr. Schiller provided some credible testimony, he was in the courtroom to hear everyone testify. Thus, when he testified and attempted to rehabilitate the record, he is less credible and the Court discounts that testimony.

my colleague @DarkaMauldm has put out a new post on the @trailofbits blog on how we worked with @pypiPython Package Index's maintainers to slash PyPI test run times from ~160s to ~30s despite overall test counts growing by 17% (3900 to 4700+):

blog.trailofbits.com/2025/05/0

this is some of my favorite kind of work: faster test suites means that developers run tests locally more often, and are less hesitant to add new tests (especially parametric ones). another great example of security and performance/reliability engineering dovetailing.

Making PyPI's test suite 81% faster

See how we slashed PyPI’s test suite runtime from 163 to 30 seconds. The techniques we share can help you dramatically improve your own project’s testing performance without sacrificing coverage.
