6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

New blog post: "Conviviality in computational science"

https://blog.khinsen.net/posts/2026/07/06/conviviality.html

"Conviviality matters for science for multiple reasons. One of them is epistemic: if you want to derive knowledge from your work, you need to know exactly what you are doing, and that includes a detailed understanding of your tools."

@catsalad

I’m guessing that there are a lot of lettuce puns in your replies and that this is just the tip of the iceberg

@Alice I woulda been if it wasn’t five thousand frickin miles!

I thought that I heard a sound — a voice! Was there a voice that spoke? Or did I fancy? I must have dreamed, and have only now awoke. Again? What is it? I cannot see, is there anyone in

OMG... A few hours ago, I heard that the US player that had a red card got his red card lifted by the FIFA... I was very confused about it, and now I'm learning that it happened because... Trump asked the FIFA to do so, and the FIFA complied.

This is Argentina 78 all over again...

@toddsundsted it really seems like someone at Apple has done something weird here in the shipped software. Wondering now where else this might be showing up…

In case you haven't heard yet, the European Court of Justice dismissed Google's appeal last week, which means that even if they tried to get away with it, they'll have to pay the €4.1 billion imposed by the European Commission in 2018. The lawsuit focused on Google abusing its dominance by requiring distributors of Android devices to bundle Google Search and Google Chrome.

This is why we don't stop at building a decent browser, but also go the extra mile and get involved in regulatory work. Having real choices it's crucial for a healthy market.

@Gabayd @eladhen שלושה בני כיתה שלי נשארו בקיבוץ. אחת מהם נשואה למישהו מכיתה צעירה מאיתנו בשנה.

Man! I dodged that bullet! I didn’t have to go to university to become illiterate. 🤣

@khinsen Thanks for sharing this! I wrote an essay called "Towards convivial science" (https://qspace.fqxi.org/competitions/entry/2310). It was for a competition, but wasn't formally published. I've been meaning to come back it in the the context of computation specifically, so really nice to see other takes on this!

Currently learning* Welsh by watching #TDF2026 on S4C.

*Who am I kidding!? No idea what the commentators are saying but it’s the only free place that live Tour de France is available on UK TV this year.

Although I have learned that the Welsh for ‘peloton’ is ‘peloton’ 😆

@yertle The margins are probably already so big on those displays that they can absorb the price increase on a relatively minor part. (Or maybe they’ll get price-bumped in the fall…)

Three years flew by. Big thanks to the team and everyone here who has been building this community with us from day one. 🎂

@suricrasia The only codebases I've ever rewritten from scratch, so far, have been my own. >.>

Three years have flown by and they still haven’t fully embraced the Fediverse like they said they would. 🤬

But, it’s Meta and they’re a shit company. I was naive to expect them to actually embrace the open web.

@infobeautiful Hence my bad hairday...
