Blindsight is when someone is blind and cannot consciously see things, but their brain can still sense and respond to visual information without them realizing it. Even though they are blind in some areas, their brain can still detect and react to things shown in their blind spots, without the person being aware of seeing them. This shows that there are parts of the brain that can process visual information without the person consciously perceiving it....
I loved reading books about how to make your life better. I adored reading productivity books. There’s a dynamic in this kind of non-fiction literature, depicting a shift from being a productive machine to a fulfilled human being, living in a mindfulness state, fulfilling her sense of meaning. The book in question is on the latter side of the spectrum. The author describes the Essentialism principles and how to apply them to your life:...
It’s not been quite long enough since I’ve wrote my first article about blog deployment and I already to change quite a lot. OrangePI 5 is not stable enough At first, the idea of doing a reliable, always accessible website on the small computer under your TV was stupid. I’ve stumbled upon the power management issues with my USB-attached SSD drive. All of a sudden filesystem became read-only and the whole infrastructure went south....
Somewhere on the vast landlines of X (former Twitter), I stumbled upon the recommendation of this book. It had a funny cover and a word of advice from some quite reputable, so I had no other way but to read it. The book’s central theme is practical problem-solving in human-built systems with some possible biases and sometimes irrational behaviors.

I’ve been looking for something easy to swallow yet relatable, so I’ve searched for some softcore sci-fi in a modern setting. Browsing through some top-tens lists, I’ve found the Broadcast written by Liam Brown....
Here’s a Spotify album to accompany your reading: Tamino - Amir. Disclaimer And below is my framework for conducting code reviews within a large product-oriented software company. I do not intend this to be used as a universal guide by anyone, as situations, companies, and software differ. Most likely reviews in mission-critical software and a new young start-up look different. Consider this as another opportunity to look at what happens inside another person’s head....
New purchase Recently I’ve purchased a paper book. I did it only because I was really eager to read that specific book (here it is). The content was good, and I will definitely make a short review afterward, but the process of reading a physical book was quite painful to me. Ooops, here goes the nostalgia I’ve spent quite a lot of time in my childhood and adolescence reading books. There was a library on the ground floor of the house I lived in and it had been an endless source of information and entertainment before the internet came to my life....
