Could be Autumn Rhythm, Letter C
If you are wondering why the list is shorter this week (and is so late) is because last week I said I was going to play Stardew Valley, and I complied. Oh, I also played a bit with creating fun models with Alloy, maybe I’ll explain something soon.
The Day Feynman Worked Out Black-Hole Radiation on My Blackboard
The way Richard Feynman found interesting stuff and just had a go (have you read Surely you’re joking, Mr Feynman?) is astonishing.
How to Set Up VSCode for Remote Pair Programming
I’ve been researching better ways to help my coworkers while I’m remote. This VS Code setup looks interesting, although I’ll need to get an emacs/vim plugin if I am to use it.
SIGBOVIK
If you run OCR on paint splashes, you get mostly valid Perl code.
Multi-Scale Truchet Patterns
I always enjoy a good generative art finding, and Truchet tiles have always claimed a spot in my heart (I loved Cameron Browne’s Che game, even if it’s a bit thin after a while)
How Mental Models Unlock Your Thinking
I follow Shane’s podcast (and newsletter) regularly, so I’ve been looking forward the release of his audiobook. Now, it’s here, and I got it already.
Newsletter?
These weekly posts are also available as a newsletter. These days (since RSS went into limbo) most of my regular information comes from several newsletters I’m subscribed to, instead of me going directly to a blog. If this is also your case, subscribe by clicking here.
