Unexpected benefit of AI agent use in our codebase: People have started adding a file like agent-readme.md, explaining what the project does, its design and special considerations. Always wished for a humans-readme.md with that content, but hey, I take what I get.

I rarely use Windows these days, but I'm always amazed at how broken Windows Update still is. Today's (un)installment: Windows 11 24H2 - "we could not install it, but you may retry later". Like, tell me what is wrong instead so I might fix it.

www.bbc.com/news/article... I don't claim to speak for most Germans, but the agency's classifaction of "extreme-right" basically means "Nazis" for me. The parliament now needs to find a way to deal with this (up to and including a ban). Interesting times.

If you’re in the field of computing, I highly recommend spending time watching THE MOTHER OF ALL DEMOS. Key things to notice: • Nothing that enables the demo existed. Not even interrupt paths on the CPU. • To this day, the things demonstrated there don’t exist as products or computing concepts.

It's impossible to ensure democracy prevails with laws alone. For obvious historical reasons, Germans have thought long and hard about instruments to deal with a state of emergency (t.co/I7djOs1mvX). But it still needs to be lived, or it's worth nothing. #SouthKorea
