Microexperimentos. Dejarse guiar por la curiosidad
Le Cunff defiende todo lo contrario al consenso popular, que dice que para conseguir el éxito es necesario centrarse en un objetivo grandioso y dirigirse hacia él sin distracciones. Ese camino lineal, dice, favorece la presión social, el burnout, la competición y sorpresas como la que se encontró ella: un destino que la hacía infeliz. Por eso es mejor ir fijándonos en aquello que nos ilumina la mirada y probarlo realizando pruebas controladas y poco arriesgadas.
Para conseguirlo, propone realizar pactos con nosotros mismos bajo el siguiente esquema: “Haré x durante y tiempo”, donde x es algo que nos provoque interés e y una temporada corta, de hasta tres meses. Es decir, menos “a ver si voy al gimnasio” y más “iré a clases de baile dos veces a la semana durante el mes de septiembre”. Y cuando ese tiempo termine, como pequeños científicos, evaluaremos la situación.
Una meta demasiado clara nos impide ver las posibilidades que se van desplegando ante nosotros. Y, ya que vamos a tratarnos como sujetos de prueba, tiene más sentido ir construyendo el camino poco a poco, disfrutándolo, que empecinarse en alcanzar una promesa final que quizá ni siquiera exista.
Understanding find with atime, ctime, and mtime
- atime — access time = last time file opened
- mtime — modified time = last time file contents was modified
- ctime — changed time = last time file inode was modified
Numeric arguments can be specified as:
+n for greater than n,
-n for less than n,
n for exactly n.
Note that « less than » means « strictly less than », so -mtime -14 means « last modified at the current time of day, 13 days ago or less » and -mtime +14 means « last modified at the current time of day, 15 days ago or more ».
How to find files that were most recently created on file system?
find . -ctime -1 -print
Responsibility assignment matrix
A responsibility assignment matrix, also known as a RACI matrix (/ˈreɪsi/) or linear responsibility chart, is a project management technique that describes the responsibilities of various stakeholders in completing tasks or deliverables. The matrix assigns one of four responsibilities to each stakeholder in executing a deliverable: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.
Under the RACI framework:
Responsible stakeholders are involved in the planning, execution, and completion of the task;
Accountable stakeholders are held to be individually and ultimately responsible for the success or failure of the task;
Consulted stakeholders are sought for their opinions on a task;
Informed stakeholders are updated as the project progresses.
How to Terminate Stuck or Unwanted User Sessions in Linux
To terminate the user session of the remotely logged-in user “linuxiac,” we will use the pkill command in Linux with the option “-KILL,” which means that the Linux process must be terminated immediately (not gracefully). Use the “-t” flag to specify the name of the TTY.
pkill -KILL -t pts/1
The second approach we will show you uses terminating a user session by process ID. To do this, we execute the w command again to get a list of logged-in users along with their associated TTY/PTS.
Then, once we’ve identified the TTY/PTS session, use the ps command with “-ft” parameters to find its PID:
ps -ft [TTY/PTS]
Code language: CSS (css)
Finally, use the kill command with “-9” (unconditionally terminate a process) switch passing the process ID. For example:
kill -9 4374
How to Run Apache as different User with mpm-itk
Run Apache as different User is quite useful in WordPress development and WordPress hosting.
Apache runs as www-data in Debian/Ubuntu.
However, this is not convenient in a WordPress installation:
On the production server
- Many WordPress files must be owned by the SSH/SFTP user in order to apply changes
- Most WordPress must be owned by the Web Server user, so WordPress updates can be applied
The Apache 2 ITK MPM
apache2-mpm-itk (just mpm-itk for short) is an MPM (Multi-Processing Module) for the Apache web server. mpm-itk allows you to run each of your vhost under a separate uid and gid—in short, the scripts and configuration files for one vhost no longer have to be readable for all the other vhosts.
Quirks and warnings
Since mpm-itk has to be able to setuid(), it runs as root (although restricted with POSIX capabilities and seccomp v2 where possible) until the request is parsed and the vhost determined. This means that any code execution hole before the request is parsed will be a potential root security hole. (The most likely place is probably in mod_ssl.) This is not likely to change in the near future, as socket passing, the most likely alternative solution, is very hard to get to work properly in a number of common use cases (e.g. SSL).
The lack of socket passing also leads to another minor quirk: If you connect to httpd, make a request and then make a request on the same connection that gets handled by a different uid, mpm-itk simply shuts down the connection. This is perfectly legal according to RFC 2616 section 8.1.4, and all major clients seem to handle it well; the web server simply simulates a timeout, and the client just opens a new connection and retries the request. However, there is a small performance hit, and thus you should avoid including content from multiple uids in the same page.
Note that mpm-itk is nowhere as tested as, say, prefork. That being said, it’s being run in production at several sites in the world, both hobbyist and commercial, some as large as ~10 million hits a day.
Can You Use an AMD CPU With an NVIDIA GPU?
Are NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards Compatible with AMD CPUs?
The simple answer is: yes! AMD CPUs are designed to work with any graphics cards, and any modern NVIDIA GeForce GPU will work fine with an AMD CPU. GPU and CPU brands are characteristically inter-compatible.
Where some PC components become incompatible with each other is when the sockets and connectors don’t match up. This is extremely common with CPUs and motherboards, as certain processors only work with sockets and chipsets designed for that CPU.
Modern graphics cards use the PCI Express expansion bus standard, and as long as your motherboard has the right slot for your graphics card you’re good to go. PCIe is a universal standard and therefore you’ll find motherboards for both AMD and Intel CPUs with the right connector for your graphics card.
How to Create a Windows 10/11 Bootable USB on Linux
Unfortunately, WoeUSB is not available in the software-rich Debian repositories. Thus, it cannot be installed via the APT package manager. However, following the steps below, you can quickly install it on your Debian system.
First, install the following dependencies:
sudo apt install dosfstools findutils grep gawk grub-common grub-pc-bin ntfs-3g p7zip-full parted util-linux wget wimtools
Then, run the following command to download and place the software in your system’s correct location.
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB/releases/download/v5.2.4/woeusb-5.2.4.bash" -o /usr/bin/woeusb
Finally, set the correct permissions:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/woeusb
…our command would look like this:
sudo woeusb --device Win11_23H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso /dev/sda

LeafletJS & React Leaflet
Since React takes a focused approach to developing a component-based user interface, the react-leaflet was created with the same logic. Class hierarchy is as follows:
Turn an Entire DIV into a Clickable Link
Here we assign an absolute position to the inner <a> tag such that it occupies the entire DIV and we also set the z-index property to 10 to position the link above all the other elements in the DIV. This is the easiest approach and the semantic structure is maintained.
div.box {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: #eee;
color: #000;
padding: 20px;
}
div.box:hover {
cursor: hand;
cursor: pointer;
opacity: .9;
}
a.divLink {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-decoration: none;
/* Makes sure the link doesn't get underlined */
z-index: 10;
/* raises anchor tag above everything else in div */
background-color: white;
/*workaround to make clickable in IE */
opacity: 0;
/*workaround to make clickable in IE */
filter: alpha(opacity=0);

OpenAI forced to preserve ChatGPT chats
OpenAI has protested a court order that forces it to retain its users’ conversations. The creator of the ChatGPT AI model objected to the order, which is part of a copyright infringement case against it by The New York Times and other publishers.
The news organizations argued that ChatGPT was presenting their content in its responses to the point where users were reading this material instead of accessing their paid content directly.
The publishers said that deleted ChatGPT conversations might show users obtaining this proprietary published content via the service.
“OpenAI is NOW DIRECTED to preserve and segregate all output log data that would otherwise be deleted on a going forward basis until further order of the Court (in essence, the output log data that OpenAI has been destroying), whether such data might be deleted at a user’s request or because of ‘numerous privacy laws and regulations’ that might require OpenAI to do so.”

The Automattic Creed
will never stop learning. I won’t just work on things that are assigned to me. I know there’s no such thing as a status quo. I will build our business sustainably through passionate and loyal customers. I will never pass up an opportunity to help out a colleague, and I’ll remember the days before I knew everything. I am more motivated by impact than money, and I know that Open Source is one of the most powerful ideas of our generation. I will communicate as much as possible, because it’s the oxygen of a distributed company. I am in a marathon, not a sprint, and no matter how far away the goal is, the only way to get there is by putting one foot in front of another every day. Given time, there is no problem that’s insurmountable.
The Five Layers of Sharing Thoughts and Ideas
1. Layer one is your internal thoughts.
2. Layer two is triggered as soon as you put something into a medium, like writing it down. It’s everything that leaves your head, but is just reserved for you.
3. Layer three is you and someone else. This is everything you share with one other person, which is an incredibly sacred act.
4. Layer four is sharing within a finite group. N+1. It’s a space of collaboration and brainstorming with families, tribes, and teams.
5. Finally, we have the fifth layer. This is the public layer.
Automattic Twenty
In 2005, being a remote-first company was anathema to investors and business leaders* at the time…
I can’t predict everything that will change over the coming decades, especially with AI making the next few years particularly hard to predict. Still, I do know a few things that won’t change: everything flows from our people, open source is still the most powerful idea of our generation, growth is the best feedback loop, and no matter how far away the goal is, the only way to get there is by putting one foot in front of another every day. People will always want fast, bug-free software; instant, omniscient customer service when they need it; and experiences so intuitive that they usually don’t. And once they’ve had a taste of freedom, it’s hard to return to their previous state. (For more, see our creed.)

The Right Not to Use the Internet
This pioneering collection addresses the prospective fundamental/human right not to use the Internet and the challenges that the non- use of the Internet poses for democracy.
As the Internet has increasingly ceased to be a mere option and rather turned into a de facto obligation for anyone who exercises their rights or fulfils duties, these developments bring about profound ramifications for the very existence and the functioning of democracy, and therefore merit a critical reflection. With contributors from academia and legal practice from all over Europe, this edited volume offers timely critical analysis of the right not to use of the Internet, at times supplemented with policy advice and postulates for law reform.
This book is of key interest to scholars and students of – predominantly – law, political science and philosophy as well as to policymakers, judges and nongovernmental organisations at national, supranational and international levels.

Vibe coding
Vibe coding (or vibecoding) is an approach to producing software by using artificial intelligence (AI), where a person describes a problem in a few natural language sentences as a prompt to a large language model (LLM) tuned for coding. The LLM generates software based on the description, shifting the programmer’s role from manual coding to guiding, testing, and refining the AI-generated source code.

Internet for the people
Why is the internet so broken, and what could ever possibly fix it?
In Internet for the People, leading tech writer Ben Tarnoff offers an answer. The internet is broken, he argues, because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Google annihilates your privacy and Facebook amplifies right-wing propaganda because it is profitable to do so. But the internet wasn’t always like this—it had to be remade for the purposes of profit maximization, through a years-long process of privatization that turned a small research network into a powerhouse of global capitalism. Tarnoff tells the story of the privatization that made the modern internet, and which set in motion the crises that consume it today.
The solution to those crises is straightforward: deprivatize the internet. Deprivatization aims at creating an internet where people, and not profit, rule. It calls for shrinking the space of the market and diminishing the power of the profit motive. It calls for abolishing the walled gardens of Google, Facebook, and the other giants that dominate our digital lives and developing publicly and cooperatively owned alternatives that encode real democratic control. To build a better internet, we need to change how it is owned and organized. Not with an eye towards making markets work better, but towards making them less dominant. Not in order to create a more competitive or more rule-bound version of privatization, but to overturn it. Otherwise, a small number of executives and investors will continue to make choices on everyone’s behalf, and these choices will remain tightly bound by the demands of the market. It’s time to demand an internet by, and for, the people now.

How to Fine-Tune Llama-3.2 on your own data: A detailed guide
Let’s start by briefly describing what fine-tuning is. It is all about adjusting a model to fit your specific needs by tweaking its weights. Imagine you’re dealing with legal documents where words like ‘consideration’ take on a whole new meaning compared to everyday speech or what the model has been trained on. Fine-tuning steps in to make sure the model gets these specialized terms right. It’s not just about words either — you can also set up the model to follow specific rules, like keeping answers short and to the point, or understanding your business needs to a deeper level. So, if you’re planning to deploy it in production, this process transforms a general-purpose model into something custom-built for your data.
The lightweight models, specifically the 1B and 3B ({N}B = N billion parameters, for positive integer N), are among the most interesting for a variety of reasons. They are relatively easy to run locally, unlike the larger versions of LLMs and Meta claims they can be smoothly deployed on hardware found in mobile devices. This opens the door to many applications, as language processing can be done locally, without data leaving the device. As a result, these models are not reliant on a stable internet connection and offer a more private handling of sensitive information. With these advantages, we can expect to see more tools like personal assistants running on our smartphones.

Windows 7 tardaba 30 segundos más en cargar si el fondo de pantalla era sólido en vez de una imagen
Ahora que Windows 7 (2009-2015) duerme el sueño de los justos (o debería) se ha desvelado un curioso bug que habrá hecho perder millones de horas a gente de todo el mundo hasta que se corrigió: el proceso de arranque era 30 segundos más lento si se elegía un color de fondo sólido en vez de una imagen.
Según cuentan, el fallo estaba en que para construir la imagen del escritorio (barra da tareas, iconos, etcétera) se esperaba al OK de la imagen cargada, lo cual era en realidad muy rápido… Pero alguien olvidó incluir ese OK si no se elegía ninguna imagen, de modo que el proceso se quedaba esperando y esperando hasta los 30 segundos límites que tenía estipulados como máximo.
DUM DUM
Javier Marquina, guionista fertil y parra fecunda del tebeo independiente. Jaime Infante, sombras y luces para dibujar, masas de negro y composiciones cuidadísimas. Toman como base el “Mear Sangre” de Dum Dum Pacheco –autobiografía que el boxeador comenzó a escribir en la cárcel a los 19 años cuando llevaba ya tres preso en Carabanchel– y algunos otros documentos y testimonios del boxeador, para construir este DUM DUM. Si el relato original de Pacheco ya es de una violencia bestial descarnada, ponerle imágenes a todo esto lo aterriza como la barbaridad escalofriante que es. Pacheco es criado a hostias, curtido por ese mismo sistema pedagógico, delincuencia y talego. Hostias abundantes para poder salir más o menos indemne de su paso por la cárcel. Y el carácter siempre presente, que no ayuda. La legión, el boxeo y la vida cotidiana, donde, totalmente interiorizada, tampoco puede faltar la violencia.
Infante y Marquina, emulando en cierta medida el estilo caótico de Mear Sangre –donde los recuerdos acuden como borbotones a la cabeza de Pacheco– arman una historia en la que la voluntad, el destino y el carácter son los guionistas en la sombra de la vida de Dum Dum, pionero de la delincuencia juvenil, uno de los presos más jóvenes que ostentó el récord de periodo en celda de castigo (un año aislado) y campeón de España de los pesos wélter en seis ocasiones.
Spain map with D3
Since we will manage files and dependencies we choose Flask for a quick example. Any other framework could be used, it only consist on importing correctly all libraries.
The libraries used are the following:
Jquery: Common library used almost for anything. (Desc)
Jquery UI: Visual extension for Jquery (Desc, in this case used to create the time slider. We also add another extension (Ui slider pips) to this slider to customize even more.
D3: D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG, and CSS. In this case we use to create a map of Spain. More examples of D3 here.
D3 composite: Extension of D3 that allow to create proyections of maps. For example, in the case of Spain since the canary islands are far away from the peninsula, only using D3 we have a really off center map. This library also provides Spain provinces limits . Important: This library only works with the current set of Jquery and D3 version, if you want to use other versions, check the docs page.
