Since 2024 the role of the CMO or marketer in a startup has really changed. Mostly, everyone has the same tools so everyone is producing the same slop at the same time. I can no longer remember times that I’ve read content that looks and sounds exactly the same. They organize cool dinners...

On this day ten years ago – the day the result of the Brexit referendum was announced – I was walking in Surrey, where I took this picture. This is what politicians used to look like (take note, Andy Burnham)...https://nigeness.blogspot.com/2016/06/picture-of-day.html

We have a creek that runs down two sides of our property, which was a real selling point of the house. There are even two footbridges! I’ve loved being around water my whole life, yet I didn’t appreciate until we moved in how much the presence of that creek would make me aware of different...

We often hope travel will transform us into someone new. But there is a quieter, deeper freedom in traveling while remaining essentially yourself. Here is the beauty of simply being who you are, wherever you go.

Before starting, I want to put a few things at the top: You probably should not change the checkpoint_timeout setting from its default of 5 minutes. Users who read tuning advice on the internet (or get bad AI advice) about increasing this setting usually don’t understand the risk and...

Hormuz sigue sin cierre total pero sin normalización. El tránsito es irregular y la cadena logística acumula tensiones. Si la situación persiste, podrían aparecer caídas de inventarios, encarecimiento energético y medidas de priorización estatal.

When I arrived in Shanghai, I kinda knew that one of the things that I had to adapt to was people leaving the city or returning to their countries. Since all my close friends were international students, and obviously not all of them were intending to stay in China after graduation, knowing this...

It’s been a couple of months since the last neocaml release, and the reason is simple — for a while there I was genuinely out of ideas. Back when I shipped 0.6 I declared (again!) that I was done with new features, and this time I almost meant it. But ideas have a way of creeping back in, and 0.9...

Read Tyrannicide Brief: Story of the Man Who Sent Charles I to the Scaffold by Geoffrey Robertson. Charles triggered the tragic civil wars (from 1642) when 1 in 10 Englishmen died. But in 1649, Parliament struggled to find a lawyer with guts to prosecute a king who claimed to be above the...

In May 2026, the newly inaugurated president of Costa Rica, Laura Fernández Delgado, ordered polygraph screening of senior officials as part of her anticorruption campaign. Her polygraph dragnet has now led to the removal of seven police directors from their posts, the Costa Rican Tico Times...

I set up a scheduled pipeline in Azure DevOps. The YAML was valid. No errors on save. I waited patiently for the cron to fire. Nothing happened… The culprit turned out to be a single line I'd added for a completely legitimate reason trigger: none. The setup The pipeline looked roughly like...

I enjoy social media, and one thing I love seeing is when people play in the space and do things the tools weren't necessarily designed for. Back in good old days of Twitter (~2012-2014), people used to do things like change their display names to a "spooky" one for halloween or they'd add a Santa...

A young boy who witnessed the suicide of a mafia lawyer hires an attorney to protect him when the District Attorney tries to use him to take down a mob family. Oh wow, this is probably the best movie based on a book by John Grisham I’ve seen so far. It’s really nicely made, and the performances...

I have a keen sense of smell. I smell things that other people apparently can’t. If I had a dollar for every time I asked someone, “What is that smell?”, I would have a hundred dollars. Last weekend I was making my way towards a hotel entrance for a work event. A security guard was sitting...

Chega a ser engraçado que mesmo com milhões de músicas disponíveis, os serviços de streaming não ajudam muito no processo de descobrir algo novo e interessante pra ouvir.

I got these today, four AD&D adventure books, PoD items from DriveThruRPG, bought mostly on a whim.I must confess, I bought Halith Vorn and Zorth mainly because the illustration appealed to me, but they also had pretty good reviews on DTRPG. They took a bit longer to arrive than PoD stuff...

I'm going through changes. One of the heaviest is that I couldn't make love work so I'm mourning the now finished relationship. I'm living in a new apartment and I enjoy being here. Some nights are long and full of terrors, mostly related to health issues I had to go through a year and a half ago....

These Chocolate-Tipped Cream-Puff Pocky Sticks are a fun homemade take on the favorite Japanese sweet snack. Thin lengths of piped choux pastry make the sticks, which are baked and then coated in chocolate glaze. While I did actually measure my piping tip, I clearly piped my Pocky a bit on the...

I’m slowly developing my own list of advice: have a creative mindset, embrace radical transparency, and write down what makes you happy. I’d like to add one more to the list: stealing is a skill! Stealing is good for the soul. If done well, you will be able to build value at lightning pace and...

The Elixir ecosystem has a machine learning problem, and it's one of breadth rather than capability. Nx, Axon, and Bumblebee have proven Elixir can do serious numerical computing; the libraries are what's missing. Python has decades of battle-tested libraries, pre-trained models, and institutional...

We launched Whip on May 21 and it went viral, around 350,000 views across X and LinkedIn. From the outside it looked like a moment. It was actually a month of quiet, unglamorous work, and this is the whole thing written down. A lot of people asked for this after the launch, so here it is. No...

It's that time of year again. "SCOTUS season" has begun. The end of June is traditionally when the weightiest Supreme Court decisions are handed down, as the high court ends its judicial year and begins a summer break that will last for months. The weightiest of the decisions still yet to be...

Then my phone buzzed and the disappointments of the waking world crashed through my fantasy. More real-life violence, more gore, more senseless death, more darkness where once a light burned free of extraterrestrial brutality. Not even my day off could be spared.

The old Games Unlimited in Pittsburgh was the game store of our childhood. It’s where we went to buy RPGs, modules, dice, and a whole pile of miniatures. We rummaged through the shelves in the far back and then greedily carried our treasures home on the bus. But now, decades later, they have a new...

Several years ago, before I cared about rpg blogs, I unsuccessfully tried to run a game of City of Mist. There are many reasons why it didn't work out and they all have little to do with the book or system. The premise stuck with me though. It's just a really good setup: mythic concepts incarnated...
