Since it's almost Midsummer...

A giant, red, goat-headed demon sits on a stone throne in a subterranean chamber.
"So, it is decided: on midsummer's eve, my words shall spew forth across the land like black fire!"

"We prefer to call it 'publication day'" says his publicist.

"..And we were hoping you might do some social media to to promote the book?"

Things turmn dark, the demon's goat eyes glow
"I cannot fathom the accursed opiate screens that so enthral your kind."

"Yeah, some of our other authors feel that way, but that's why we have Toby: he's an absolute whiz!" she replies, introducing a small man. 

"I'll set you up on twitter and you'll be corrupting Souls in no time!" says Toby.

A caption reads: "An hour later"

The demon now has his head in his hands and moans:
"I can endure this Foul parade of doltish barbarity No longer! Please deactivate My account, wizard Toby"

I definitely have a Stockholm syndrome kind of relationship with this language 🙃

I’ve spent the last… well the last long while creating an homage to the 1984 Macintosh! It’s 3D printed, has a laser-cut cork foot, Easter eggs like the hidden signatures from the original and more!

It’s an amazing little ~$100 machine!

Find out more on YouTube!

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

A hand drawn programming comic with the title 'oh shit! I tried to run a diff but nothing happened!'. Doesn't have a proper caption yet.

Spherical harmonics are widely used in graphics. Ever wondered how to compute their derivatives? My HPG 2025 poster shows that it is basically free.
It also comes with a code generator for C, C++, Python, GLSL and HLSL to compute SH with derivatives.

Apple love to preach "the UI gets out of the way of your content" with each new redesign, but how true is that in practice? Let's compare the total height of the Safari UI with a toolbar, favourites bar and tab bar visible, across the three latest Mac OS design languages – Yosemite, Big Sur and now Tahoe. I've added a red line for emphasis.

It sure looks to me like the UI is eating more into my content with each redesign.

Collage of three screenshots, showing a comparison of the upper left corner of Safari between Mac OS 10.10–10.15, 11–15 and 26. With each redesign, the Safari UI gets taller.

I've been relying on the command line more and more recently to do some quick changes on my system, convert videos, and do some server admin, and I realized I had never really made a quick tutorial on the basics of the command line, so here we go:

Every time I hit play on a WWDC video I think my GPU's starting to bug out

Building a Debugger is now officially released!

It guides you through writing a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.

Even if you don't care about writing a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

Cautionary tale about checking your thumbnails before uploading.

YouTube screen for Apple's Liquid Glass promo reel. Unfortunately the play button is smack dab right over the "GL", so all you see is "Liquid ass".

¡Es martes y por lo tanto es ! ¡El día favorito de nadie!

 Un taco con una camiseta de tirantes con un número (el 37) grapado delante en un papel, resoplando y sudando mientras corre. Lleva unas zapatillas deportivas con los cordones medio sueltos, solo que en realidad están flotando porque no tiene pies.

Debajo pone: Tacorriendo.
