The RAM Shortage Comes for Us All
Memory price inflation comes for us all, and if you’re not affected yet, just wait. I was building a new PC last month using some parts I had bought earlier this year. The 64 Gigabyte T-Create DDR5 memory kit I used cost $209 then. Today? The same kit costs $650! Just in the past week, […]

Multivox: Volumetric Display
This is the code I currently use to drive my volumetric displays. It supports two closely related devices which are configured in the src/driver/gadgets directory: Rotovox is a 400mm Orb featuring two 128×64 panels arranged vertically side by side. Vortex is a 300mm Orb featuring two 128×64 panels arranged horizontally, back to back. Rotovox has […]
Feynman vs. Computer
What’s neat is we can still split up the computation like we did before, if we believe it will make the error smaller and the confidence interval narrower. Let’s use the following integral as an example. [int_0^infty frac{sin{x}}{x} mathrm{d}x] This oscillates up and down quite a bit for small (x), and then decays but still […]
The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X
News on: 2025-12-04 The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X. The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed […]

Transparent Leadership Beats Servant Leadership
tl:dr: Parenting and leadership is similar. Teach a man to fish, etc. I spent a couple of years managing a team, and I entered that role – like many – without knowing anything about how to do it. I tried to figure out how to be a good manager, and doing so I ended up […]
Functional Quadtrees
A Quadtree is a tree data structure, which is useful for giving more focus/detail to certain regions of your data, while saving resources elsewhere. I could only find a couple tutorials/guides and both were imperative, so I figured it’d be fun to do a functional version in Clojure which runs in the browser. A demo […]
I ignore the spotlight as a staff engineer
Lately I’ve been reading Sean Goedecke’s essays on being a Staff+ engineer. His work (particularly Software engineering under the spotlight and It’s Not Your Codebase) is razor-sharp and feels painfully familiar to anyone in Big Tech. On paper, I fit the mold he describes: I’m a Senior Staff engineer at Google. Yet, reading his work […]
NextJS Security Vulnerability
A critical vulnerability has been identified in the React Server Components (RSC) protocol. The issue is rated CVSS 10.0 and can allow remote code execution when processing attacker-controlled requests in unpatched environments. This vulnerability originates in the upstream React implementation (CVE-2025-55182). This advisory (CVE-2025-66478) tracks the downstream impact on Next.js applications using the App Router. […]
