A random idea for a fun progress and info-vis project I had.

There are many ways to measure how good a book was. A reasonable indicator for me has always been how quickly I finish it. A good book keeps you absorbed, encourages you to keep reading and explore the world that has been set up in your mind. And wow does the Broken Earth Trilogy ever do that!

Reading “The Starless Sea” is like watching an intricately put-together puzzle unfold and reveal its workings. There are stories within stories, fables, bits, and quotes, all of which initially seem unrelated, but weave in and out of each other, enhancing, revealing, exploring, detailing various facets of the story and its characters.

Past me set up GPG keys at a time where I thought I’d encrypt everything. I think I used them 3 times right after setting them up, and then never again.

A brief (ish) overview of common terminology and syntax used in FP, with the aim of getting you to think in words rather than weird symbols.

I finally got around to configuring my tiny Corne-ish Zen r3 keyboard. This is a discussion of the advantages, challenges, ease-of-use, etc. of using a 42-key split keyboard. It’s definitely portable and very useable, but there are some caveats.
