dave @daveliepmann.com · 27/09/2026Volt is AfD for the PMC in that their main selling point is not wearing the damage of having actually governed. They appeal to people like me because they can just say things without needing to deal with political viability or implementation tradeoffs. 111
dave @daveliepmann.com · 27/09/2026Don’t know, I assume that’s the minimum. I think I saw an estimate that this was only ~half off the list price, which confuses me. Maybe they’re all out in Marzahn. 000
dave @daveliepmann.com · 27/09/2026Genau, some think tank just released a study saying it pencils out if we pay ~€62k per apartment. 100
dave @daveliepmann.com · 27/09/2026Enteignen is predicated on compensating owners for the taking — it’s part of what makes the whole scheme so unrealistic 100
dave @daveliepmann.com · 27/09/2026What is up with Berlin Marathon pacers this year? The 3:30 guy just came up behind the 3:45 guy, and I saw five 3:00 pacers spread out across twenty minutes at least. 000

Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves. 10381022800

dave @daveliepmann.com · 24/09/2026It’s only a wretched henka when rikishi you don’t like do it. When Onosato does it (on day 8 or so?) it’s a hit and shift, high level agility, Yokozuna sumo 001
dave @daveliepmann.com · 24/09/2026"aus finanziellen und ökologischen Gründen" is a new low. wtf are we doing. this is like when we threw out covid vaccines in spring/summer '21 because we flubbed the scheduling to get them in the "right" arms 030

dave @daveliepmann.com · 22/09/2026Thinking separately about inputs (effort, coaching) versus other variables like single/multi-sport and adult-style S&C versus play-like S&C (and leaving aside the rec leagues) will lead to greatest understanding here Inputs dominate…but multi-sport and play are superior while rec is less effective 100
dave @daveliepmann.com · 22/09/2026Yeah the evidence I’ve seen is pretty clear that early sport specialization and narrow S&C make for adolescent champions and early adult injured burnouts. Long-term athlete development is fairly well understood and hypercompetitiveness early on is not part of an ideal strategy. 040
dave @daveliepmann.com · 21/09/2026I feel like we still don't have the full story. What did the Left want or do that she felt her better option was to play second fiddle and not run the city? 100
dave @daveliepmann.com · 20/09/2026It’s good for bro-y bros to match their parenting gear to their chosen subculture, because more parenting is the gateway drug 020
dave @daveliepmann.com · 20/09/2026I could be wrong but this might be the first time Meck-Pom and Sachsen-Anhalt have been described as “key states” 0130
dave @daveliepmann.com · 20/09/2026This dovetails with other industry-specific fuckups that deserve broader recognition, like the UK Post Office scandal or Challenger. IMO these failure modes come with the complexity of modern society and we have not yet adapted to the need to explain them to the next generation. 040

dave @daveliepmann.com · 20/09/2026It repeatedly surprises me how few programming literacy materials our industry+culture have produced for kids. It’s like we don’t want to pass on our tradition. 011

dave @daveliepmann.com · 18/09/2026I don't have data but I suspect a big chunk of Turkiye's housing boom is the urban middle class sprawling out vacation homes in rural/coastal areas (Based on my narrow view of the Karaburun peninsula) 100

dave @daveliepmann.com · 12/09/2026I wonder how much is proving they're not beholden to RN rather than RN being a drag. I get the sense many devs (perhaps me included) are hostile to RN based on the perceived inelegance of a shim. 100
