Programmer and computational neuroscientist, now HPC support engineer in Okinawa, Japan.

Photography, bouldering, recreational programming and playing the sanshin are things I do.

Sweden, Osaka and Okinawa are places I particularly care about.

Going to on holiday, for the first time in 20 years. Dumb-sounding question: Do you need cash on a daily basis (fares, food etc)?

If not, is credit cards fine, or is there some other payment system that's better - and accessible to non-residents?

I'm looking for a new Mastodon server.

I've been very happy here on . Well managed, good size, supports open source.

But it has an "English-only" rule for public posts. I'm not monolingual, my life is not monolingual, and this rule limits what I want to say far more than I thought it would.

So, I'm looking for a different server to join. Ideally similar to Fosstodon - stable, well managed, decent size, widely federated - but that allows any language. EU or Japan location a bonus.

and question: To get from the KL to KL Sentral you pass through Nu Sentral shopping mall.

Can anyone tell us if that walking route is open in the morning before the mall proper opens?

Mitt inlägg om riskokare väckte känslor helt klart! Jag vill i alla fall tipsa om en bra riskokare. Köp en sån här så är alla dina bekymmer ur världen! En Zojirushi NP-HLH10

Vi har en liknande Toshiba som funkar bra. Innan den hade vi en Sharp som, igen, gjorde allt den ska utan problem.

En riskokare är guld om du äter ris någorlunda ofta.

När jag är själv sätter jag ofta riset på timer på morgonen så har jag färskt kokat ris till middagen på kvällen.

@VileLasagna Has a blog post on the relative speed of different #GPU compute frameworks on the same hardware and driver.

Tl;dr: on an #Nvidia card, with Nvidia drivers, #CUDA is the slowest, by far. Fastest is our old stalwart #OpenCL - almost twice as fast when used only for compute. #Vulcan is good, and the least affected by using the card for your desktop at the same time. Read it - it's good.

#HPC #gpgpu #compute

I don't think really cares if they lose advertisers or if they have to pull out of EU. They don't care about being a global platform, and money is just a possible side benefit.

What they do want is to control the political discourse in their home country.

The same is likely happening with ; expect similar changes to other platforms. Same about stopping non-US platforms ( ).

The long-term goal is to deplatform anyone not on the political far right. And it's working.

We're going to Lumpur in later this summer.

Any tips for places to go for ? Good local roasters, third-wave coffee places, perhaps a place to buy a machine?

We updated a certificate for an internal tool. It's a web app, deployed as a . To update the certificate we have to rebuild the container from scratch.

We also have a nice internal tool for changing user settings such as cluster access rights. It runs fine. But it's an playbook run through a CI/CD pipeline that builds, runs, then destroys two containers for every user change.

"This container could have been a shell script" feels more true every day.

time: Keyboards!

I finished reading Shift Happens, and thought I'd rant in favor of spending a bit on your (yes, your!) keyboard, in the name of comfort and ergonomics.

Tl;dr: if you're spending real money on a desk chair or a good monitor, perhaps it's time to give your keyboard some love as well.

Also, the HHKB is objectively the best keyboard you can buy today, and I will not admit any argument to the contrary.

Interesting thought after watching the latest Philosophy Tube:

Are free software purists living with a phantasm?

You know, the types that yell at people who get paid to work on open source.. because they're getting paid to produce something that's given away for free.

(I don't know the answer to this)

The same people that tell you you can make money by selling services around the software, then get angry at Canonical for doing exactly that.

Not a large group but an embarrassingly loud one.

is on sale on ! Of course I bought it.

On one hand I'm happy I finally got around to getting the game. On the other, I was looking at it only yesterday thinking I should just get it already. Now it feels I cheated @grumpygamer out of some well earned income...

Enda jag inte är överens med honom är att det är värt att see henne live. Vi såg konserten i Tokyo och det var absolut värt det.

En live föreställning som är välgjord och ärligt menat är alltid värd att se, nästan oavsett innehållet. En inspelning är inte samma sak.

Is there by any chance a piece of software I could put on a that lets me:

  • Connect a keyboard and use as an electric piano;

  • Do simple sequencing and playback - not a full but just let me record and edit a piano sequence; then add another voice, or let me play live over that sequence.

  • As a bonus, possibly let me record a live track, but that's not really needed.

Basically a tool to help me better learn and practice a live .

I'm having a "I'm over 50; I know what I like; and I eat what I want." lunch today.

, the instance I'm on, is now invite only. The reason is to slow its growth and avoid becoming a huge server.

This is good! The point of the is to have lots of different instances, after all, not a couple of giant ones.

And yes, huge instance == huge problems. Problems with moderation, with funding, and with culture. Stay a reasonable size and it's still all manageable for a small team.

Posting in English since Swedish is forbidden on :

When Commodore VIC 20 was released, there were two books in Swedish on programming it in Basic and in assembler.

Does anyone have bibliographic information on those? Or links to the books?

They made me who I am far more than any later experiences and I would love to track them down.

Om någon kommer ihåg dom grå A4 böckerna om att programmera VIC20 kan ge mig titel, författare eller så.

Finished our bookings for today. First time we attend since the pandemic. Also looking forward to , my favourite conference city so far.

Not looking forward to the price level and the tipping culture though. It was bad before and is apparently way out of control now. At least there's always convenience stores and McDonald's.

Wrote my first new post in almost a year!

It's basically a lament that the web is broken, and a resolution to start blogging again, and to stop taking it so seriously.
