the other day a certain Jane Street employee asked me how to find good applicants for this position they have open, “OxCaml educator” (https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/position/6546786002/)

- NYC or London based

As always, it was a welcome morale boost to demo and march with, in this case, over 7000 fellow students, teachers, and researchers. #woinactie

Going a bit off the beaten path for #FreeSoftwareAdvent, today I get to appreciate HaikuOS¹. While it has some issues (mostly keyboard-mapping) that prevent me from using it as the main OS on my writerdeck netbook, it is AMAZING in how well it uses resources. That little underpowered Atom processor with its 2G of RAM just flies. It boots in a fraction of the time of anything else (other than DOS) that I've installed on the hardware. The GUI and all the applications are delightfully snappy.

So please join me in sending a little praise toward the @haiku project for all the wonderful work they do!

Sam Altman told human-test-pattern Jimmy Fallon that he couldn't imagine trying to raise his baby without ChatGPT.

I couldn't imagine admitting such an L on national television.

3시간쯤 잠들었나

근황 보고.

트위터에 다시는 돌아가지 못하게 됐습니다. 이번이 첫 제재인데 대체 뭐가 '반복적인 위반'이라는 건지 모르겠으나, 이 망할 새끼들이 '아무튼 그렇다'고 합니다. 오늘부터 '일론 머스크 사망 기원 1일차'라고 써붙여야 할까 싶습니다.

11월 3일에 제재 상황을 처음으로 발견하고 이의 제기를 즉각 넣었으나 여태 별다른 답변을 못 받았던 가운데, 어제(12월 9일) 제재에 대한 이의 제기를 다시 할 수 있는 상태가 된 걸 발견해서, 이번엔 좀 강한 어조로 불만을 표출했더니 이렇게 됐습니다. 이미 11월 3일 이래 블루스카이에 정착해서 지내고는 있지만, 이 쪽도 최근에 이스라엘 시오니스트 새끼들 좀 욕했다고 계정이 제재돼 터져버린 사례가 나와서 '영원히 마음놓고 시원하게 욕하며 지낼 수 있는' SNS는 어디에도 없다고 생각하는 게 좋겠습니다.

아마 여기서도 뭔가 문제가 생기거든, 종국적으로는 Nostr에 자리를 잡는 일까지 생기겠지요. 그 때도 연락하실 분들은 Bio에 있는 LinkTree 주소를 참조해주시면 되겠습니다.

여튼 앞으로도 쭉 블루스카이에서 뵙겠습니다.

P.S : 그나저나 트위터 쪽에 연락하던 분들은 아직까지도 제가 '없어진 줄도 모르'시더라구요. 제가 참 존재감이 없죠?

Do you want to run a Linux or Unix/macOS program directly after some other process has ended? Use the pwait as follows:
```pwait pid && new_app1```
For example, for demo run sleep for 1200 and wait to end and then run the app2:

```sleep 1200 &
pwait pid_of_sleep_here && app2```

See the `pwait` man page for more info as syntax changes slightly between Linux and BSD version. This is very handy utility and not well known to many:
`man pwait`

I posted a blog entry to wrap up the year: My 2025 with the fediverse. I'm grateful that the fediverse has allowed me to connect with so many people. I look forward to our continued connection.

If I get an email with a Word doc attached, and I open the attachment, why does Word let me edit and save the document in the "Mail Attachments" folder!? Make it read-only and force me to save it someplace real before editing... Grr.

Is there a way to make it behave more reasonably? (Mac, Apple Mail btw)
(Also, this is not for me, so recommendations of different software or high-tech solutions will not help :D )

One of the worst parts of my job as a professor is killing so many grandmothers with my final exams.

If it is okay for the US to kill survivors, does that mean its okay to execute wounded US soldiers found on a battlefield or POWs?

The Law of War prohibition against killing those who are "hors combat" (out of action) protects the lives of Americans. If we violate that law, we can't complain when others do the same.

It is in our interest for the US to respect and follow the Laws of War.

Is there something weird that you like the taste or smell of? I like the taste of Vitamin C tablets. Maybe you like the taste of a licked battery, or the smell of Durian fruit. Could be anything.

I wore my Owl head and cyberpunk jacket for the Halloween party at #supercon and a bit Saturday night too. Though I had to keep taking it off to speak to people. At some point I need to add a speaker like those used for some storm trooper helmets.

🎉 CSS Wrapped 2025 is here!

Once again, it has been an AMAZING year for CSS and UI.

Go check out https://chrome.dev/css-wrapped-2025/ to see all CSS/UI features Chrome shipped this year.

Each feature comes with a small explanation and demo for you to play with.

Loved this tip. I have so many media tabs open at once. This will save my sanity.

It’s nice to see social media being positively impacted by legislation – turns out change *is* possible! 🙄 (Caveat: Reddit is the absolute worst for “you looked at a post from this subreddit once, so we’ll push other vaguely similar posts at you.” It’s relentless growth hacking and makes me hate Reddit.)

In any food that contains peanut (butter), it can be changed to sesame (tahini), or vice versa, and the resulting flavor will be different but equally valid. This is the Curry-Halva isomorphism.

In a few years, we will see books such as "The Art of Optimizing Code in the Age of LLMs" or "How to Debug Vibe Coded Mess Like a Pro" and so on...

Team, a question: who is doing interesting work on software _composability_ these days, and where do I find them?

The last two really interesting ideas I've seen in this space are ysh and ... powershell.

#카트라이더는 원래 넥슨 IP. 이걸 텐센트에서 사가서 카트라이더 러쉬플러스를 출시. 이게 한국으로 역수입됨. 그래서 중섭이 한섭보다 1년 반 정도 앞서감. 덧붙여서 최근 한섭 컨텐츠는 거의 중섭 컨텐츠 우라까이해서 들여오는 수준이라 피로감도 높고 이탈이 많았음.

그러던 와중에 1년 반쯤 전 중섭에서 코리아 테마를 출시. 거기서 태극파라곤(중국식 태극이 아니라 빨파 한국식 태극)이 등장, 한섭 유저들 기대감 상승.(원래 원작에 코리아 테마가 있었고 중섭도 이걸 돌려가면서 원작 맵 가져오는 방식이라 코리아 테마는 언젠가 등장할 예정이었음)

그리고 1년 반이 지나는 사이에 케데헌을 위시한 K컨텐츠 따상. 이번에는 넥슨에서 물 들어오는 김에 각잡고 노를 저으려 했는지 이것저것 독자 컨텐츠를 넣어서 미리보기를 발표함. 그리고 한섭 코리아 테마 서비스 시작이 오늘인 12월 10일 00시.

결론: 현재 #카러플 유튜버 총출동해서 죽어라 모타 돌리는 중
