2022-10-03 – Alternative revolutions
via jes's blog
You can use the profile of an object that has rotational symmetry,
but revolve it around a different axis, to produce a different object that
has the same profile. It feels like there's a puzzle idea in there somewhere, but
I can't work out the best …
2022-10-03 – Does Rust belong in the Linux kernel?
via Drew DeVault's blog
I am known to be a bit of a polemic when it comes to Rust. I will be forthright

another Rust Hot Take from my…
2022-10-02 – Notes from kernel hacking in Hare, part 2: multi-threading
via Drew DeVault's blog
I have long promised that Hare would not have multi-threading, and it seems that

It can be then eaten by dipping bread in olive oil and in the Zaatar or as part of another recipe.

2022-09-29 – Tell Me A Story
via
I’ve never been much of a podcast person. I’m not sure what it is about them, but they’ve just never been a thing for me. I do read a lot of stuff on the Internet, but lately even that has been harder to do just because I’m busy with other things. Today J…

2022-09-21 – Things I Recommend You Buy and Use, Sam Edition

Sam Bowman began a trend in the blogosphere of recommending products, which was followed up by Rob Wiblin, Alexey Guzey and several others. While this concept might sound tacky, I have found these posts to be surprisingly useful. This is for a few reasons…
2022-09-21 – Grostoli
via Based Cooking
Very popular fritter in Italian colonies throughout South Brazil. Not to be mistaken with Venetian Crostoli or Chiacchiere, even though those are still made. My grandmother’s recipe is more like Castagnole with Crostoli shape, with some post-Italian adapt…
