A blind young lady, accompanied by her little sister, approached the pianist requesting to perform Voilà together. She used a Braille computer for the lyrics. "Voilà" is a song by French singer Barbara Pravi, who co-wrote the song with Igit and Lili Poe. #streetmusic #vocals #music

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

How come they keep spelling “open” wrong? Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth

There will never be enough victim-blaming to make up for poor infrastructure and missing leadership. But it sure makes a nice distraction for decision-makers hiding from responsibility, right? Classic ad by our own @tomflood.bsky.social for @visionzerovancouver.ca. #UrbanTruth

Nieuwe Kerkstraat, Amsterdam in 1979 and today.

A typical Dutch urban roundabout, with priority for pedestrians and cyclists on every arm. Simple design choices like this keep people safe and naturally slow down motor traffic.

In the coming weeks I'm giving the tactical DDD training twice. And something struck me while preparing: with agentic AI becoming more capable, Domain-Driven Design isn't becoming less relevant. For complex problems, it's becoming a necessity. ...

An ode to "slowly" handcrafted code www.planetgeek.ch/2026/02/02/a... When I open my social media feeds, it's obvious: the age of writing code with our fingers is ending. LLMs can write code much faster. But was it ever about the speed of code creation? I think not. #LLMs #agents #fsharp

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Strong, expressive types removes the need for many kinds of parameterized tests. Instead the compiler works as the test - if it doesn't conform to the definition, the code won't even compile. Reason #5 F# sucks: Your buggy code won't even compile hamy.xyz/blog/2025-06... #fsharp

“Leaders not Tweeters” is the rebrand America needs.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. - Brian Kernighan

I 2005 regnet de med at Ensjøveien og Gladengveien ville ha 15 000 kjøretøy i døgnet da utbyggingen var ferdig. I dag er trafikken 5-6000 biler i døgnet. Omtrent en tredjedel.

.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotne...

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

Problemet med ukritisk motorveibygging er at det er ulønnsomt langt utenfor byen (fordi der er trafikken for lav). Og ulønnsomt i nærheten av by, fordi der fortrenger den tett bystruktur og andre mer arealeffektive reisemåter. Mer bilmobilitet i nærhet av by er ikke lønnsomt for samfunnet.

So much for Russia’s “peace.” Tonight: 35–40 drones over Poltava toward Kirovohrad/Cherkasy, 5 from Sumy, 5 from Dnipropetrovsk, 2 from Chernihiv toward Kyiv, 15 from Kharkiv toward Poltava—plus 2 strategic bombers airborne from Olenya, likely with cruise missiles.

Det er en vanlig oppfatning at forholdene er stadig mer uholdbare i Røa-krysset. Og det er kaotisk der, men det er langt mindre trafikk nå enn det var for bare 10 år siden. Da var det nærmere 11 000 ÅDT i Vækerøveien. Nå er det drøyt 7000. I Griniveien var det 13 000. Nå er det 8000.
