I'm going to migrate to my own instance at enoent.org shortly. Shouldn't have any side effect, but just in case I lose followers, that's where you can find me.

Sean Carroll's new book "Quanta and Fields" is absolutely fantastic. It's written exactly for people like me who are ok with looking at math formulas but not very interested in doing calculations. I read it in two days and learned a lot. #physics

"Nooitstalgie", a word by Mathijs Bouman to describe the populist desire for a past that never really existed. Kinda works in English (neverstalgia) and German (Niestalgie), too

Normally I platonically approve Eurovision nonsense without actually watching it or listening to it, but I'll make an exception because the Croatian entry is essentially my life story, has a great riff, and includes cats. Not to be missed

For a period, posting to StackOverflow was part of my job. Like, I had a performance target tied to that. We were using our private accounts but posting during working hours. Who owns these answers now? Can I delete them?

(The whole thing was stupid, but everything is)
