I have a Samsung Q800A soundbar. It ships with built-in support for the Apple Airplay protocol, but I’m not really an Apple kind of guy so that’s never been particularly helpful for me.

There will never be a leap second again. At least not for UTC.
At the CGPM, they decided the last leap second we'll ever see for UTC, or Coordinated Universal Time, happened back at the end of 2016.
Of course they made that decision while I was out on vacation, so I'm just getting this video up…
I did not care for this one bit. I found it cloying, infantilising, and far too circuitous. It starts off as a bit of an overwritten melodrama, where every phrase is a delicious flower waiting to bloom, but ends up being a over-sugared mess with a rotten heart. Parts are just exhausting to read,…
The name of the game in agentic development is figuring out how to clearly tell agents what you want– and then how to be sure they follow through. Lately I’ve been tinkering with an interesting technique around this that I’d like to share.1 I call it “trust but verify”2.
The basic idea is that…

I never liked racing "sims" like Gran Turismo. So realistic! You can bounce off the guardrails like in a pinball. Grid on the other hand was a fantastic "arcade" racer with a brilliant damage model where mistakes were punished. And the camera work! And music. Boy, that was such a treat!
Nostalgia…

Interactive REPL-driven systems (that most Schemes are) need a way to get detailed information on a given piece of data.
Inspectors, as these are conventionally called.

Doug Greenfield posted his Map of the Week – Map of the 100 Famous Views of Edo saying “The Wikipedia listing has a table listing each print with an image, title and geographic coordinates. Somebody with more time and better programming skills could make a nice interactive map from this table with…

about the young" is a call for self-reflection and change of course,
back to our roots.

These are easily the most comfortable headphones I've worn. I've literally had them clipped around my ears all day without noticing them. The good folks at SoundPEATS have sent me their latest cans to wrap around my lugs. I'm a big fan of these new-style "clip on" headphones. Rather than encasing…
