The dominant programming languages support nothing but linear text to express domain-specific geometric ideas. What is needed are hybrid languages that allow developers to create visual syntactic constructs so that they can express their ideas with a mix of textual and visual syntax tailored to an application domain. This mix must put the two kinds of syntax on equal footing and, just as ...
(ZENIT News / Otawwa, 06.22.2026).- Ten years after Canada legalized what it calls Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), the country finds itself at the center of one of the most consequential ethical debates of the modern era. What began in 2016 as a tightly regulated response to end-of-life suffering has evolved into one of the world’s largest assisted-death systems, prompting both praise ...

Currently, I’m in the midst of writing a big post about the roots of web forums, but I hit on an aside weird enough that I decided to stop writing that and work on a separate post. Because I think it actually explains a lot about the way people use the internet. Essentially, here’s the deal. Around 1995 or so, a high schooler named Matt Wright decided to launch a website that shared some ...
SSH port forwarding explained in a visual way, including local and remote port forwarding, and dynamic port forwarding using the -L, -R, and -D flags. SSH tunneling allows accessing private services from a local machine, exposing local services to the public, and creating SOCKS proxies for flexible network access.
