If you make it easier to build housing in a high demand metro, rents can not just 'freeze' but even 'fall'. And the knock on effects are bigger than even I could have imagined.

If there’s one thing I care about that’s not climate related it’s making APIs you won’t hate, and the first step to guarding yourself from an increasingly sloppy world is getting a style guide automated. My babies Speccy & Spectral died. OpenLint is the answer. apisyouwonthate.com/blog/openlin...

there's assholes here and there's good people here but the common read on how things are isn't accurate. that "let's double dutch guy" is twee and funny and all but when your daily lived reality is the non-comedy version of it all, it gets real old real fast.

funny how so much of the bluntness isn't directed at the mismanagement of infrastructure or the property bubble or the overtourism, but at anyone who sticks out, or god forbid, stands up for themselves

the famous "dutch bluntness" is a smokescreen for people who get off on being rude and hurtful full disclosure here I am fully able and willing to be an asshole right back if the situation demands it, but I don't enjoy it.

The extent of mechanization in clothesmaking is CAD pattern-drafting and occasional machine-cutting of fabric. Sewing (by far the most time-consuming part) is all done by hand on a sewing machine.

This is why I try to take care of my clothes, even if it is mildly embarrassing to say that you sometimes see that I wear some of the same shirts I did a decade ago. Somebody made that, and even though I will never meet them, I have an obligation not to waste the resources and effort in them.

Remember when you could scroll down a web page to the bit with the information you needed, and didn't have to click pause, and it didn't randomly refresh for no reason, and if you accidentally hit back the page still existed?

Qingshan Lake Water Forest in Lin'an District, Hangzhou is a viral attraction sometimes called "Matcha Lake" for the emerald green duckweed (subfamily Lemnoideae). These black swans (Cygnus atratus) & their cygnets are enjoying a nutritious buffet of aquatic plants. Let's learn about duckweed.

Yeah, the principle is extremely simple but "how much voltage" and "how much current" and "will there be any weird induced transients" and "how hot can it get" are all critical

it turns out that there's maybe two first-generation Kangoo ZE vans in Amsterdam, mine is the oldest, and I keep asking if they can do weird shit to it.

"you can't just connect an electrically-excited motor to a PMSM control unit" you actually can, you just feed the rotor coil a fixed power and use self-learning mode, which many PMSM VFDs have these days

figuring out exactly what does what and where it goes will be a challenge, but the possibility of upgrading from 3.7kW charging to 9.9kW charging is well worth it to me

this should also allow me to isolate some of the CANbus commands that control the OBC. the 22kWh Kangoo is weird. smushes together the 400V battery charger (right) with an HV fusebox(?) (left) and an HV junction box(?) (center). I'm just glad it's not part of the PEB, cos damn.

camped in the van twice to date and discovering that it has preconditioning has been a gamechanger. put it on charge, set the timer, it turns the heating on (powered by the charging point, not the battery!) for you in the morning.

Renault Nederland insisting that a 33kWh battery pack cannot be put on a 22kWh Kangoo is going to have me seeking out and crawling under a Kangoo with a leased battery that has had exactly that modification made to it.

the brute-force approach would be to feed ~390VDC @ 30A to the existing HV connectors, which the car is thankfully dumb enough to accept (if the contactors are closed and ignition active) but this would cause inspectors from the RDW to start screaming

Lindsay 🎃 @broadwell.eu · 29/09/2026
ergo, I could replace the 3.7kW single-phase charger with a three-phase 10kW charger and actually have it talk to the car properly.

when my brain and my wrist and my schedule lets me turn a wrench again, I have a very exciting project to take a crack at: the 2011 Kangoo has been around long enough that the CANBUS IDs and messages are well-documented

On average, the Dutch think that 20% of the people here is Muslim (it's 5%). They overestimate our income tax rate by 28%. They think the number of homicides is on the rise (it's falling). And that agriculture takes 19% of our land area (it's 60%). And they have strong opinions on all of the above.
