Gotcha

Very recently marked 29 years since I was brought to the United States from my country of origin. Thankfully, my adoptive parents never attempted to celebrate my "gotcha day," a day and overall concept often dedicated to rescued pets and that many adoptees (rightfully) loathe, instead choosing to sweep the detachment of me from my own home, language, and culture under the rug. As an adult, I've felt the weight of this day increase with age even though my parents never brought it up. Nevertheless, they (and others) never failed to jump at other opportunities to make me feel like I am supposed t

Lost in the forest

I recently visited Yosemite for the first time. One of my best friends lives in California, and while I am grateful to him for many reasons, him taking me to national parks is definitely one of them. There is a lot of beauty in this country that I have never witnessed, and only in the past few years have I been able to catch up a bit. For this I like to blame my parents for never taking me to a national park as a kid as well as my geographic and financial circumstances. Since meeting in person a few years ago, my friend and I have managed to visit three national parks together. Only a few days

Responses Won't Always Be Perfect

Spotify recently announced an AI chatbot, called " Talk to Spotify ", that does what you'd expect. Users can ask questions in natural language and it answers.

At the bottom of the article there is a disclaimer saying, "...the responses won't always be perfect". Now, I'm not picking on Spotify specifically here. Most, if not all, the companies launching AI chatbots tack on the same disclaimer. Snap's My AI and Microsoft Copilot's disclaimers I feel like par

Programming from the Ground Up as Primer to Programming

Recently I read the book titled Programming from the Ground up and I think this book can be considered as one of the options for anyone wants to learn programming for the first time. Keep in mind that this is not the only book you can use to learn about programming, there other books you can use too. What I found interesting about this book is that this book give a nice explanation about a basic concept, such as what is buffer and how computer view memory, which is not always the case in other introductory programming book.

[$] Managing the kernel CVE flood

We recently looked at how the kernel community is dealing with the firehose of vulnerability reports, but said little about how users of the kernel are responding. At the 2026 Linux Plumbers Conference , Amazon employees Dylan Johnson and Justinien Bouron discussed the problem from the point of view of engineers trying to keep AWS running and secure in the face of a storm of CVE disclosures. The kernel community's longstanding advice is to run current kernels, and that turns out to work — sort of.

A Question

The Question I recently restarted working on this CS theory blog. One reason that I took a bit to get it going again is really stupid. Really silly. And perhaps I should not talk about it. It does not make me look smart. But here it goes anyway. My email system stopped working recently. I […]
