How many things do I own?
Even though starting my job has put me in a situation where I can sometimes afford stuff just like that, and maybe buy the occasional thing without thinking much when I should have before, I still make sure to keep the number of things I own low. ⌘ Read more

Stream a USB webcam to HDMI on a Raspberry Pi
This post exists to collect my notes on displaying a USB webcam on the Raspberry Pi HDMI outputs. This is not the same as streaming the webcam (easy), and this is not for use with the Raspberry Pi camera module. This is specifically for USB UVC webcams. ⌘ Read more

Finally sleeping better 😴
I have a very light sleep. The first brightness in the morning makes me wake up, noise from the neighbors in the evening does not let me fall asleep. No matter how late or early I go to bed, no matter how little I slept in total. ⌘ Read more

PEP 682: Format Specifier for Signed Zero
Though float and Decimal types can represent signed zero, in many
fields of mathematics negative zero is surprising or unwanted – especially
in the context of displaying an (often rounded) numerical result. This PEP
proposes an extension to the string format specification allowing negative
zero to be normalized to positive zero. ⌘ Read more

** Notes on 6502 Assembly **
The NES runs a very slightly modified 6502 processor. What follows are some very introductory, and not at all exhaustive notes on 6502 Assembly, or ASM.

If you find this at all interesting, Easy 6502 is a really great introductory primer on 6502 Assembly that lets you get your hands dirty right from a web browser.

Peter Saint-Andre: The Underlying Theme
In a comment on my recent post about Aristotle on ways of life, my friend Kurt wondered if, according to Aristotle, the best life must have a single purpose (in Greek, a telos). I would say so: at the very beginning of the Eudemian Ethics, he says that it is a sign of great folly to not organize your life around some telos. Yet I think this can be interpreted in several different ways…. ⌘ Read more

oliviersm199/Tweet-Generator

Image

The Tweet Generator uses a Markov chain to generate random tweet based off of past tweets. It uses Python and the Twitter API to obtain the last 200 tweets from a particular user, organizes them into a JSON tree structure and then executes a random walk on that tree structure. This results in sometimes hilarious sometimes nonsense tweets that mimic the Twitter user’s past tweets.

** Chess Rules **
I love when folks say stuff like“there are only a finite number of states a chessboard can occupy, therefore a computer can play chess.”

To the folks who say such things — I wish you to play chess with my 6 year old.

Be not confined by rules! The only things governing chess in this house here are the laws of physics!

…and even then, not all need apply.

For instance, during a recent game the opposing kings left the board in order to go out on an adventure. They returned later with a large, plastic dragon. The dra … ⌘ Read more

Hopefully OneUI 4 will extend the life of my smartphone

How Docker Desktop Networking Works Under the Hood
Modern applications make extensive use of networks. At build time it’s common to apt-get/dnf/yum/apk install a package from a Linux distribution’s package repository. At runtime an application may wish to connect() to an internal postgres or mysql database to persist some state, while also calling listen() and accept() to expose APIs and UIs over TCP […]
