Recent rabbit hole: manually crafted logic puzzles beyond sudoku. Awesome website: www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/ (among my favorites are slitherlink, fillomino, nurikabe). Happy holidays!

Nice two weeks of remote work in #Catania are coming to an end. Productive work, enjoyed time with local colleagues, and managed also to put in a weekend in Lipari and a very nice conference on Vulcanology by @borisetneo.bsky.social. But nothing beats having a swim and granita before work ;) 🌊 🌋 🐘

Screenshot of Hacker News were someone shared (6 points 16 days ago) my repo Nim for Pythonistas)

Happened a few days ago and barely made a blip but I guess it is the first time something I did gets shared on HN

For those who celebrate, happy Roubaix weekend! 🚲 🪨 For those who don’t and do not care, you might enjoy watching a video of a joy and tears, here is Colbrelli’s victory from 2021. I watch it at least once a year and cry smiling 😭 🤩 with him! youtu.be/JtScP6nTTNE?... (wait for 1:35)

Great short talk by @felienne.bsky.social Feminism is naturally geared towards understanding "why things are the way they are" and biased against unfairness and inequality. And "making things easy" is powerful and under appreciated www.hytradboi.com/2025/419859c...

Jake and I were chatting a couple months back about how this week would go and he said, basically verbatim, "There will be a little drama and then Steve Klabnik will put out a thoughtful and nuanced blog post a day or two later" ❤️

👉 Key takeway: Social media platforms inevitably face a trade-off.

Reducing toxicity improves user experience and limits harmful content, but it also lowers engagement and ad revenue—creating a misalignment between social good and corporate incentives.

The Short Case for Nvidia Stock All the reasons why Nvidia will have a very hard time living up to the currently lofty expectations of the market.

I read this blogpost 3 times, not interested in the investment aspect, but there's so many valuable insights in here on current development of AI.

Also the writing alone deserves its own separate praise.

--> Tired of decyphering the Perl code you wrote last week?

--> Frustrated with Bourne shell syntax?

--> Spent too much time staring at core dumps lately?

Maybe you should try Python!

Jupyter Kernel Architecture - Blog by Roman Glushko How Jupyter executes, inspects, completes and debug code

I stumbled upon this excellent post on the @projectjupyter.bsky.social kernel architecture, that is probably the nicest narrative writeup out there I've seen on the topic (please let me know of others!). I'm going to make a PR on our docs to link to it:
