My name is Bruno Arine. I’m a data scientist based in Brazil, and I’m crazy about software engineering, philosophy, and personal knowledge management. This website contains some of the pieces I have written on these topics.

Facts about me

• I worked for 12 years in the nuclear industry.
• I try to take photography seriously.
• I’m a licensed ham radio operator. I love to sweep through short-wave radio bands in search of bizarre transmissions.

About this site

Brains should be public domain. Our ideas derive from other people’s ideas, which derive from yet others’ ideas, and so on. Every useful idea is a remix. The creative process doesn’t begin with a blank slate, so neither the corpus of human knowledge nor none of its building blocks should be kept private. For this reason I publish not only my blog posts, but also my personal notes online.

Moreover, this website tries to follow the smolweb principles: semantic HTML tags over endless CSS classes, text over image, no external imports, and absolutely no Javascript.
