Three Ways to Get Paid

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 06:12:06 +0000

jasonzweig.com

There are three ways to make a living:

Lie to people who want to be lied to, and you’ll get rich.

Tell the truth to those who want the truth, and you’ll make a living.

Tell the truth to those who want to be lied to, and you’ll go broke.

Teaching Kids Forth

I instructed them to perform many operations until they were familiar with what they were doing. They were acting as Forth interpreters. The computer is just doing this work automatically. This gave them a more intimate understanding of what their system was doing.

Only then did their machines do the work for them.

Fresh Eyes on a Cucumbered Team

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 19:01:56 +0000

mikezornek.com

But more often, the most useful thing I do in the first week or two on a project has nothing to do with technical chops. It’s that I haven’t been pickled yet. I get to ask “why do we do it this way?” about things that everyone else on the team has long since stopped seeing as a question at all. And because I’m new, that question doesn’t carry any history or political weight – I’m not implying anyone made a bad call, I’m just genuinely asking.

That question, asked plainly and without an agenda, is sometimes the most valuable thing a consultant can offer.

Absolutely. I love doing this. Again, not implying any bad calls, just bringing fresh eyes.

KAHBAHBLOOOM: The Art and Storytelling of Ed Emberley

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 03:26:21 +0000

The exhibition draws on the Massachusetts-based artist’s personal archive of original hand-drawn sketches, woodblock prints, final proofs, and first edition books to survey his career and examine his influence on generations of readers and nascent artists.

Ed Emberley was a huge influence on me as a kid; I still have the books. I worked and worked to be able to draw some of the things by memory, and to this day his technique influences the way I think about breaking things down into simpler, smaller parts.

My history with Forth & stack machines

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:13:55 +0000

yosefk.com

He also showed how he scaled the values to simplify the calculation. It is pretty obvious that he has sped up the inner loop a hundred times by simplifying the calculation. He adds that his calculation is not only faster but more accurate than the standard SPICE equation. … He said, “I originally chose mV for internal units. But using 6400 mV = 4096 units replaces a divide with a shift and requires only 2 multiplies per transistor. … Even the multiplies are optimized to only step through as many bits of precision as needed.

This is Forth. Seriously. Forth is not the language. Forth the language captures nothing, it’s a moving target. Chuck Moore constantly tweaks the language and largely dismisses the ANS standard as rooted in the past and bloated. Forth is the approach to engineering aiming to produce as small, simple and optimal system as possible, by shaving off as many requirements of every imaginable kind as you can.

xc - Simple, Convenient, Docs-based task runner

Sat, 16 May 2026 20:20:23 +0000

xcfile.dev

xc is a task runner similar to Make or npm run, that aims to be more discoverable and approachable.

The problem xc is intended to solve is scripts maintained separately from their documentation. Often a Makefile or a package.json will contain some useful scripts for developing on a project, then the README.md will surface and describe these scripts. In such a case, since the documentation is separate, it may not be updated when scripts are changed or added. xc aims to solve this by defining the scripts inline with the documentation.

The Joys of the Craft

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:26:03 +0000

ochagavia.nl

The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by the exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures….

Yet the program construct, unlike the poet’s words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. It prints results, draws pictures, produces sounds, moves arms. The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.

Much of what we now regard as inconsequential personal ephemera — emails, text messages, social media posts — has a chance of outliving us. Thanks to the dubious miracle of online communications technology, most contemporary American lives will be better documented than those of all but a handful of historically significant men and women. From the vantage point of the surviving private memorandums of our own existences, with their random exigencies and throwaway meretriciousness, many of us will resemble Mr. Epstein to a degree that we should all find dismaying.
