There, I’ve said it. In an age where everyone seems to be monetizing their presence, building personal brands, and curating their lives into marketable content, this statement feels almost heretical. But it’s the truth—my truth. And truth, as I’ve come to learn, is rarely profitable in the economy of attention. You see, I have this inconvenient habit of… ## [Digital Ghosts: The Psychology of Living Through Curated Identities | Part I](https://blog.thecodejedi.online/2025/10/digital-ghosts-psychology-of-living.html) _2025-10-31 · EDVALDO SILVA DE ALMEIDA JUNIOR · The Code Jedi_ Two recent cases here in Brazil have revealed just how illusory our digital personas can become—both in terms of pure appearance and professional qualifications. They are stark, real-life examples of the chasm that can form between who we are online and who we are in the world. First, there was the aesthetic influencer Natalia Becker. On Instagram, she was a vision of perfection—flawless skin,… ## [Esquerdogata: The “Leftist Hottie” and the Age of Performative Niches](https://blog.thecodejedi.online/2025/10/esquerdogata-leftist-hottie-and-age-of.html) _2025-10-28 · EDVALDO SILVA DE ALMEIDA JUNIOR · The Code Jedi_ In the polarized world of Brazilian social media, a digital influencer known as "esquerdogata" had amassed over a million followers. Her chosen nickname is a key part of this story. It’s a Portuguese portmanteau: "esquerda" (left) + "gata" (a slang term for an attractive woman). The persona was clear: a beautiful, stylish woman aligned with progressive, left-wing ideals. However, a single… ## [Omaha documentaries](https://notes.jays.net/blog/omaha_docs/) _2025-10-25 · notes.jays.net_ The filmmaker and Q&A at the sold out premier of " My Omaha " Oct 14 2025: --\> "My Omaha" trailer: "My Omaha" made many references to another Omaha documentary: A Time For Burning (1966). And interviewed that filmmaker. "A Time For Burning" is not fucking around. No punches pulled. "My Omaha" is much softer in tone, even while much of the foundational content hasn't changed over those 59 years? If… ## [a god of fallen leaves](https://notes.jays.net/blog/god_of_fallen_leaves/) _2025-10-25 · notes.jays.net_ \[ writing-prompt-s \] Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up. sadoeuphemist Arepo built a temple in his field, a humble thing, some stones stacked up to make a cairn, and two days later a god moved in. “Hope you’re a harvest god,” Arepo said, and set up an altar and burnt two stalks of wheat. “It’d be nice, you know.” He looked down… ## [The Algorithmic Cage: How Personalization Traps Us in Digital Echo Chambers](https://blog.thecodejedi.online/2025/10/the-algorithmic-cage-how.html) _2025-10-23 · EDVALDO SILVA DE ALMEIDA JUNIOR · The Code Jedi_ Aldous Huxley's Brave New World envisioned the perfect dictatorship: one where citizens would "love their servitude," trapped not by barbed wire and brute force, but by unlimited pleasure, free sex, and the perfect drug, Soma. Today, we need not look to dystopian fiction to witness this prophecy fulfilled—we need only open our smartphones. What Huxley foresaw and what B.F. Skinner later… ## [Code of Conduct: The Hidden Moral Frameworks Embedded in Algorithms](https://blog.thecodejedi.online/2025/10/code-of-conduct-hidden-moral-frameworks.html) _2025-10-22 · EDVALDO SILVA DE ALMEIDA JUNIOR · The Code Jedi_ Try this experiment: open Pinterest and search for "beautiful black woman." Then search for "beautiful white woman." What you'll discover is more than just a algorithmic quirk—it's a digital Rorschach test revealing the hidden prejudices embedded in our technology. The first search returns a handful of results, often exoticized or stereotyped, while the second generates endless pages of diverse,… ## [LINQ?](https://daslang.io/blog/linq-that.html) _2025-10-08 · Daslang blog_ LINQ? But Boris, DASLANG already has high-order functions. ## [The Great Digital Divide: How Programming Became the New Latin](https://blog.thecodejedi.online/2025/10/the-great-digital-divide-how.html) _2025-10-02 · EDVALDO SILVA DE ALMEIDA JUNIOR · The Code Jedi_ In the Middle Ages, knowing Latin meant you held the keys to knowledge, power, and societal influence. Today, that key isn't a dead language - it's JavaScript, Python, and C++. And we're recreating the same feudal system, just with better WiFi. Just half a century ago, computer programming existed as an arcane discipline confined largely to university laboratories and research institutions. It was… ## [This Isn't Just a Programming Blog (And Why That Matters)](https://blog.thecodejedi.online/2025/09/this-isnt-just-programming-blog-and-why.html) _2025-09-28 · EDVALDO SILVA DE ALMEIDA JUNIOR · The Code Jedi_ This blog is not about programming, although I intend to talk a lot about it. This blog is about our contemporary society. It just so happens that computer programming is an incredibly important theme in contemporary society.

This takes what we’ve learned about declarative programming and applies it to a concurrent execution model. A challenge of concurrent programming is nondeterminism. A source of many painful, and in some cases fatal , bugs in software. A declarative concurrent model means that any nondeterminism is not visible to the programmer. There are two reasons:… ## [The Chosen](https://francisrub.io/writing/en/the-chosen/) _2025-08-22 · Blog_ A review of the hit TV series. ## [Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming: Chapter 3](https://pid1.dev/posts/ctm-chapter-3/) _2025-08-07 · Blog on pid1_ After a long hiatus, I’m back to doing the CTM bookclub. It’s been quite busy at work, but we (Terrateam) delivered GitLab support, are working on Bitbucket, and we’ve delivered a host of other changes.
