This provides a collection of benefits, but it requires reshaping how you think about the software development process. When I'm writing a literate program, I start with the literate document. I write the basic boilerplate… ## [Why Every Self-Represented Litigant Should Read Their Court's Local Rules Before a Hearing](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/why-every-self-represented-litigant) _2026-08-08 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ Many people representing themselves in court spend countless hours researching laws, watching videos, and completing court forms. ## [LLM etiquette](https://paperless.blog/llm-etiquette) _2026-08-04 · Victor Engmark · Paperless_ Or, how to treat other humans as such, in an age of generated text. ## [A Dream Years in the Making… I Got Into Law School.](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/a-dream-years-in-the-making-i-got) _2026-07-29 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ This week, I received one of the most exciting emails of my life. ## [The Six-Month Strategy: Why Some Parents Relocate Before Filing for Custody—and What Every Parent Needs to Understand](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/the-six-month-strategy-why-some-parents) _2026-07-25 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ One of the most common questions in family law is this: ## [The Roadmap to Divorce: What Really Happens After You File (And How to Avoid the Mistakes That Cost People Thousands)](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/the-roadmap-to-divorce-what-really) _2026-07-24 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ One of the biggest misconceptions about divorce is that filing the Petition is the hard part. ## [I Signed Human Emacs](https://gracefulliberty.com/notes/human-emacs/) _2026-07-13 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ I use Emacs daily. It's an essential part of my workflow. I am also deeply opposed to using LLMs to generate code . Because of this, I have put my name down on Human Emacs . If at any point the GNU Project decides that LLM-generated code is acceptable, I am committed to participating in a future of Emacs without them. Thankfully, we're in a better position than our friends using vim.… ## [The Biggest Mistake Self-Represented Litigants Make Before a Family Court Hearing](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/the-biggest-mistake-self-represented) _2026-07-07 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ Most people preparing for family court believe their primary job is to tell the judge everything that has happened. ## [Friction is an Anti-Feature](https://gracefulliberty.com/notes/friction-is-an-antifeature/) _2026-07-07 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ Writing is hard . I want to express my thoughts in a way that is helpful for other people, but also makes me proud. I want to be correct. I want to be informed. I don't want my writing to contain blatant errors caused by poor editing. This pressure adds inherent friction. So I reduce that friction. I write in Markdown, which is comfortable for me. I use a simple static site generator that… ## [Never miss a game (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/DnfBEF3ypmKX) _2026-07-06 · **Sponsored**_ Follow any team; get an hour and one-minute web and email reminders. ## [Cheap fuzz testing](https://paperless.blog/cheap-fuzz-testing) _2026-07-06 · Victor Engmark · Paperless_ Testing is all about return on investment: how do we maintain an acceptable level of trust in the code with the least amount of effort? Fuzz testing verifies that the code does something sensible with a large number of randomly generated inputs. It is usually only used on safety- or security-critical code like cryptography libraries, because it can be a lot of work to both implement and run with… ## [LLM Statement](https://gracefulliberty.com/llms/) _2026-06-30 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ I do not use LLMs or other "Generative AI" for prose or code, nor do I accept it from others as open source contributions.

For most programming languages, you can parse them according to strict grammars that eliminate their ambiguity. These can get ugly, especially for languages like C++ where one symbol can mean many different things depending on its context, but the code is, in theory, able to be parsed. One of the biggest barriers for programming in… ## [Nightly Rust development with devenv](https://paperless.blog/nightly-rust-devenv) _2026-06-12 · Victor Engmark · Paperless_ Creating a Nix shell for Rust development is easy if you’re prepared to either use only stable Rust or use Rustup to manage your Rust toolchain. But the latest version of Bevy was not compatible with stable Rust at the time of writing, and using Rustup would sacrifice one of the biggest advantages of Nix: having reproducibility managed by a single component. I’m pretty happy with what I ended up… ## [Research replication attempt](https://paperless.blog/research-replication-attempt) _2026-06-11 · Victor Engmark · Paperless_ Wherein a random nerd tries and fails to combine “Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models” code and data to reproduce research. ## [Returning to Zig](https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/return-to-zig/) _2026-06-10 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ Zig is rising in popularity. It hasn't yet seized the space occupied by even Rust or Go, much less C, but it has been adopted by a few major projects and countless smaller ones.

Make a Website](https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/linkedin/) _2026-06-05 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ I have never been an active user of LinkedIn.

I was skeptical, but decided it was important enough to have access to any opportunities and connections I would have otherwise be missing. I no longer have access to my account. I recently tried to log in and was met with a friendly greeting. ## [Financial Disclosures in Family Court: What You Must Disclose, What Happens If You Lie, and Why “Hiding Money” Often Backfires](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/financial-disclosures-in-family-court) _2026-06-01 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ One of the biggest shocks people experience in family court is realizing how financially exposed the process can become. ## [Parental Alienation in Family Court: What It Looks Like, Why It Happens, and How Courts View It](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/parental-alienation-in-family-court) _2026-05-28 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ Few topics in family court are more emotionally charged or misunderstood than parental alienation. ## [When There Are No Court Orders: Can a Parent Withhold the Children?](https://thefamilycourtworkbook.substack.com/p/when-there-are-no-court-orders-can) _2026-05-27 · The Family Court Workbook · The Family Court Workbook’s Substack_ One of the biggest misconceptions in family court is this: ## [The Process IS the Dream Life: What Changed When I Stopped Living Only for Milestones](https://inkenandlita.substack.com/p/the-process-is-the-dream-life-what) _2026-05-25 · INKEN & LITA · AT HOME with Inken & Lita_ What happens when you realise the real transformation happens in the process itself: in the routines, the becoming, the small daily choices and the woman you turn into along the way. ## [Testing desktop notifications with NixOS](https://paperless.blog/desktop-notification-tests) _2026-05-21 · Victor Engmark · Paperless_ Desktop notifications are a nice way to be informed immediately about important changes on your system. In a terminal or interactive shell script this is easy enough: trap 'notify-send "💥"' ERR. But in a non-interactive or restricted context, such as a systemd service, we need more setup for desktop notifications to work. And with more setup comes more chances to mess up, so it would be good to… ## [Scheme is a Hoot](https://gracefulliberty.com/notes/scheme-is-a-hoot/) _2026-05-21 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ Lately I've been spending time learning Scheme and using it to implement the concepts I'm learning in my physics classes as time permits. One of the most exciting things I've been doing with this is getting my Scheme to compile to the Web thanks to Hoot. One of the biggest challenges has been the fact that Hoot is unstable. It's currently at version 0.9.0.

But it seems like a solid language and one that will only increase in prevalence in the coming years. ## [Teaching Kids Forth](https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/teaching-kids-forth/) _2026-04-14 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ Forth is uncommonly used to teach programming to kids. Scripting languages like Python and visual environments like Scratch are far more popular options.

I'm passionate about giving people just a bit… ## [Learning Special Relativity](https://gracefulliberty.com/notes/relativity-excitement/) _2026-04-13 · Anna Liberty · Anna Liberty_ The number of ah-ha! moments I've had when learning about special relativity is incredible (at the cost of the constant pain of "how on earth is this possible"). I knew how to do Lorentz transformations before and even wrote some code to represent them, but now I'm finally building an intuition for special relativity instead of primarily relying on the equations.
