NeXTClock

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0200

So here is a new project on GitLab called NeXTClock: a small browser-based recreation of a NeXTSTEP-style clock applet from the 1990s. This modern version renders a 64-unit clock face into a square <canvas> using JavaScript and requestAnimationFrame(), with optional scaling from 64 to 500 pixels, because, well, Java Applets aren’t really a thing anymore.

Goodbye, Cursor

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0200

Regular readers of this blog know that I’ve been quite a happy user of Cursor for the past year, but the recent news of its mother company being purchased by SpaceX has made me reconsider my decision, and cancel my current subscription altogether.

Conway in Haskell

At this point it’s becoming increasingly clear that I can ask Cursor to read any of the implementations of my Conway and translate that into any other programming language that I want; this is what I’ve done last year with NASM, Scala, and Bash, and this year with Haskell.

Vibe Coding with Cursor

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0200

I work at a company that is truly invested into AI and LLMs, to the point that we can internally use (following some guidelines) quite a few tools in our day-to-day work: in particular, we have Gemini, Google NotebookLM, and Cursor available to all employees.

Conway in NASM

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0200

And here we go again with vibe coding: this time with Claude, I translated the Turbo Pascal version of Conway into Netwide Assembler or NASM for Linux 64-bit.

Exploring Hugo Tags

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0200

A few months ago I vibe coded with ChatGPT to create, in about 15 minutes, a small Rust application that reads all the tags of a Hugo site, and prints the list thereof.

Conway in Scala

Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0200

Another week, another version of my Polyglot Conway project, this time in Scala, a version bootstrapped with the help of ChatGPT.

Translating the Formula for Primes to Rust With AI

Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 +0200

After creating the C++ version of C. P. Willans’ formula for primes last week, I asked myself what other language is usually pitted as the fastest ever? And the answer, of course, is Rust.

Translating the Formula for Primes to C++ with AI

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0200

Some of you might remember an article I published more or less a year ago, called “Mathematical Curiosities”. In that article I showed an indeed curious formula: the 1964 “Formula for Primes” by C. P. Willans.

Conway in Bash

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0200

I’ve added a new version to my venerable Polyglot Conway project, this time as a good old Bash script, a version bootstrapped with the help of ChatGPT.
