What is Dave wearing today? Dave is wearing a black T-shirt, khaki shorts, white socks, and gray baseball cap. The T-shirt is covered with dog fur. He assumes there is dog fur on the other articles of clothing, but is harder to detect because it more closely matches the fabric colors. How does...

Alas, A Murder in Marylebone barely mentions Marylebone and is too obviously written by an American, although it began promisingly. Minerva Harper, a widow with two children, has returned to London after some 15 years in Greece. Her husband, Oliver, was a diplomat but left the British Embassy...

One of the most fascinating sequences in Atari’s arcade manufacturing process in the early 80s, was the application of the fabulous artwork that adorned all of its cabinets from the golden age of arcade gaming. So this week, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how this cabinet...

Today, let’s discuss AMR sensors. These sensors are still relatively new to many embedded builders because you mostly find them in motors, steering systems, actuators and industrial encoders. I thought it is worth covering for newer folks. AMR means Anisotropic Magneto-Resistance. A thin...

The issue with limited vocabulary we have to label our emotions and feelings. We have two words, at most, to describe majority of things that we feel throughout our day: happy and un-happy/sad. The hard black and white categorization. Everything is reduced to either the hedonistic pursuit of...

The other day I observed a silly little thing and thought "I'll need to remember this for Sunday's call" only to be reminded a split second later that there are no more Sunday calls. It was an odd moment because, for the better part of four years, Sunday night was dedicated to calling my mum....

Some of our recent (and some upcoming) projects are oriented to systems with serial consoles, but it's been getting pretty old dragging around old CRT terminals or tying up Mac laptops with a serial port. I'd like something that's self-contained, a little more portable and a bit less heavy. I'm...

I was just talking about The Mephisto Waltz with a co-worker the other day, --it's an eerie, early satano 70's, Quinn Martin Production starring Alan Alda, Jacqueline Bisset, and Barbara Perkins. As many of you know, demonic films were pretty hot during this time period thanks to 60's classics...

Fun! Felt like dev's first serious attempt at a shmup; enemies a bit unbalanced but enjoyable overall. 2nd stage boss is much tankier than the rest. Took me a few tries to get the clear. Solid execution of the horizontal and backward shooting. Excited to play more of Terarin's games. Even if it...

This post introduces Shadow Theory: a mental model for AI prompting that treats prompts as perspectives shaping what the model sees. It explains why better results often come from changing the angle of analysis rather than simply adding more instructions or context.

You don’t need a framework, a SaaS dashboard, or a dependency to test an AI agent. You need a way to run it, a way to grade it, and a loop around both. Here we build an eval harness in a single Bun file, start to finish, every line explained. By the end you’ll have one evals.ts file that spins up...

It’s not the kind of thing that flatters anyone’s self-image or fits well into anyone’s politics, so - I think that most people haven’t appreciated just how much damage will result from the kind-of-AI-that-worked-first being a thing that’s going to come for the intellectuals and artists before the...

There was a girl in the language room with hair the color of a small fire. That is how I remember her first. Not the date. Not the weather. Not what I was wearing, or where I sat, or which page of the book we were supposed to open. Memory, I have learned, is careless with facts and loyal to light....

As a publisher, Midas were famous mainly for two things: localising occasionally interesting Japanese budget games, and also publishing mostly-terrible original budget games. Skate Attack isn't one of the former, so my hopes for it weren't high. But I tried it anyway, being the fair-minded person...

Some friendships give us a sense of home we never quite found with family. This is more common than we admit, and it carries both love and a quiet grief. Here is how we can hold both truths gently.

I set up Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared), to stop worrying about open SSH ports on my server. No public IP exposed, no ports forwarded, no DDNS to maintain. Instead of opening a port and hoping for the best, I let Cloudflare handle the connection entirely. My server initiates an outbound tunnel to...

by James Wallace Harris, 6/13/26 Would anyone still be reading John Galsworthy if British television didn’t keep producing new versions of The Forsyte Saga? Galsworthy did win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932, the year before he died, but that recognition seldom guarantees an enduring...
