** How to install Uxn on macOS **
Uxn is an esoteric stack-machine with 32 bit instructions. It exists someplace at the intersection of a GameBoy, 6502 ASM, an Apple II, Forth, RetroForth, the z80, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and“what if Nausicaä from Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind used a computer?” It is tiny, unlike most anything else around these days, and, once you wrap your head around it, pretty fun.

Peter Saint-Andre: Opinions Weak and Strong
Continuing a thread that I started to explore earlier this year, I’d like to take a closer look at the intensity of opinions. Here as almost everywhere, there is a continuum: we all have opinions we hold strongly and opinions we hold weakly. Not only do the specific contents of these buckets change over time, but in general the intensity of one’s opinions can change over time, too. We’re all familiar with the sophomoric young adult who has strong opinions about everything (yes, I resemb … ⌘ Read more

Obscenities are symptoms of weak minds.
Over the past few years, I made the decision to totally cut obscenities out from my speech. You might actually be able to find recordings of me cursing four or five years ago, but as of now, I really stand by my decision.
Obscenities are the linguistic equivalent of an trashy emaciated person entirely decked in tattoos, smoking cigarettes and wearing a shirt with nudity on it. They’ll defend what they do on the idea that it’s someone “their right,” or “e … ⌘ Read more

Every Web Browser Absolutely Sucks.
The title explains it all, you don’t even have to read.
There are no good, even passable web browsers. None. Not a single one even comes close.
The weird thing is this: making a good browser should be easy! Among the existing web browsers, you could assemble all the parts necessary for a passable (if not perfect) browser. No one has ever bothered to do this, instead, people assembled 90% good stuff and 10% junk.

Peter Saint-Andre: Meditations on Bach #6: Further Instrumental Considerations
Although the first five of Bach’s suites for unaccompanied cello lie quite naturally on the bass (when tuned in fifths, that is!), the sixth suite in D major (BWV 1012) is a slightly different story because it was originally written for an instrument with five strings, not four. The exact identity of this instrument remains a mystery - some think it was written for a viola de spalla, others for a violoncello piccolo. Whatever the truth of the matter, p … ⌘ Read more
Bringing back old-school web pins and buttons
Back in the not-quite-as-bad-old-days (at least as far back as the 90’s), every good website had a small “ad” gif that fans of the site could use as a colorful link. These are called “buttons” or sometimes “pins.”
You can see sites that collect these internet artifacts (both the good ones and boring ones) here and here.
