I lost $209,640 of my own money trying to start a business
I lost $209,640 of my own money trying to start a business. Writing about failure sucks. But here’s the real story: Context: Me and my wife started a marketplace for last-minute tours and activities. Think of it as Hotel Tonight x OpenTable x ClassPass. The idea was to bring live connectivity to an industry where […]
Typed Lisp, a primer (2019)
Checking the type of inputs is tedious and so I guessed it could be done using macros and advice. Looking at Typed Racket for inspiration, the following fictitious syntax would add advice to f that checks the optional arguments xᵢ have type σᵢ and the mandatory positional arguments have type τᵢ according to position, and […]
How to smooth and spread A* paths for an RTS
It’s been a few weeks since the last devlog. However I’ve spent a fair bit of time working on pathfinding and path following – and improving Construct along the way! This is a complex part of the project and will take multiple blog posts, so here I’m going to focus on just pathfinding. It gets […]

Alternatively, would you like an introduction to machine learning without relying on “magical” frameworks that seem to […]

They call these ‘LUVs’, which they officially launched at the end of last year, and so I caught up with founder Håkan Lutz to discuss what makes them so luvly. We covered their community-centred approach, why they are the IKEA […]
Japanese explained to programmers
Being born in France, I was immersed in Japanese culture from a very young age. Whether it was some imported Yu-Gi-Oh card found in a local store that taught me my first kanji (ideogram) at 11 (水), to a constant stream of Anime culture and video games. I’ve always been fascinated by the language, learning […]
I want to lose every debate
2023-01-31 My favorite moments in life are when someone shows me a new perspective — a way of thinking I had never considered. It’s illuminating. Ideally it’s something I opposed, but they help me understand why it works for them. The sex worker explains why she loves her job. The Singaporean in the three-piece-suit explains […]
