I tend to this place and this is my public profile and the main place to validate my presence on the interwebs. I enjoy simple things like digital gardening, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, OpenBSD, good typesetting software and a good text editor. I enjoy amateurish programming; once upon a time even professionally.
Nowadays I develop communities by exploring how people can reside and be within residential areas. The questions I ask are: are the necessary well-being requirements met according to traditional property management; and in what ways can we develop social spaces and interactions that accommodates and expands on peoples well-being and everyday living demands; of today and the future.
I aim to understand how social spaces, with a focus on residential areas, can facilitate authentic learning situations and capability development. I define an authentic learning situation as a lived-through experience where the participants playfully explore an activity and their surroundings in social collaboration.
Although great new ideas are articulated by individuals they are nearly always generated by communities.
When coding or when I don't want to use my real name online I go by the handle antics which refers to behavior that is silly, funny, or strange, often in a way that is playful or amusing.
It can also describe actions that are annoying or unreasonable. I try to connect everything here to my digital trail.
I also have an Instagram account because the BJJ community is there. I would like for it to move to the Fediverse.

Notes I collect from all over the place.
One of the clearest domains where this paradox emerges is in immigration policy, where democratic states often find themselves pulled between pressures for economic openness (market-driven demand for labor and rights-based norms) and political or cultural closure (voter concerns about identity, security, or social cohesion).

Illocutionary force is what words do in the very act of saying them – they create commitments, reshape roles, and influence identities. Take ‘I promise’: those two words don’t just express an intention; they create an obligation. Or take ‘You are guilty.’ Uttered by a judge, those words don’t just assign blame – they make you a criminal.
A study comparing elite BJJ athletes with non-elite counterparts "showed substantial effect sizes for strength" and correlates an athlete's competitive level and their physical capabilities. They also made a comparison with Judo athletes:
Elite Judo athletes demonstrated superior performance in vertical and horizontal jumps compared to BJJ athletes, indicating the sport-specific demands for power generation.
Concerning power tests, elite Judo athletes also exhibited impressive performance in the 5 kg medicine ball throw, highlighting the significance of upper limb power in grappling sports, which is crucial for executing high-intensity actions in Jiu-jitsu. Thus, enhancing power becomes indispensable for scoring points and achieving high-performance levels in BJJ.
Mark, the Israeli/English musician who phoned into James OBriens show today really summed up the situation in Israel brilliantly. He puts in a nutshell how deep seated fear and the trauma of centuries of trauma, which is very real in Israel, can persuade socially and liberally minded people to go against their best instincts.

Permacomputing encourages the maximization of hardware lifespan, minimization of energy usage and focuses on the use of already available computational resources. It values maintenance and refactoring of systems to keep them efficient, instead of planned obsolescence, permacomputing practices planned longevity. It is about using computation only when it has a strengthening effect on ecosystems.
Here you can find summaries of, and links to, hundreds of IRSE published papers, articles and videos, and to other non-IRSE technical papers on the subject of train control and communications.
MuckRock uses open-source tools and public records to track the costs and revenues of hosting the two biggest, and competing, submission grappling events in the world. The findings show big discrepancies between net revenue and competitor payouts for both organizers. ADCC profits from ticket sales while CJI's huge prize money can't be met by ticket sales alone.
