Going to New Zealand in two weeks... and I'm still not convinced platypuses are real, I'm pretty sure it's just beavers-with-strap-on-beaks.

Roy, it looks like there is a typo in your resume, it says Scumm Master instead of Scrum Master. ... Nope.

Israel has its Iron Dome. America will get a Golden Dome. I propose a similar project for the Netherlands, we can call it… the Thunder Dome.

A shift is happening in our family's € 1000,- investment challenge... I've started to make a comeback, almost back into the green, my partner finally started to drop a little, and kid 1 is in a free fall 😅 📉

Wanted to take a shower but I suddenly have this incredible urge to complain and mumble “everything used to be better”… odd.

Fastest way to check if a year is a leap year? hueffner.de/falk/blog/a-... Best part: "I couldn't immediately find a way to prove it, so I employed the tried-and-true method of getting someone else to do it for me by posting it to the Code Golf StackExchange."

Me too! Right now it doesn't seem to be me haha. But hey, it's a long game, both kid 2 and myself expect a recession and not a bull market (like today).

I’m getting a crash course on the lore of Italian brainrot. And I’m 100% convinced teenagers these days would love Salvador Dali.

At least until I end up with a team where the majority is gen-z. Then I’ll probably need to start recording TikTok PR’s…. 🫤

TIL: The first nearly complete Neanderthal skeleton found in 1908 had severe arthritis, especially in his spine. Paleontologists assumed Neanderthals were dumb hunched-over apelike caveman… Wasn’t until 40+ years later they realized Neanderthals were fully bipedal, walking exactly like we do today.

Meet the Harvard Computers an extraordinary group of women working at the Harvard College Observatory. They enabled measuring our place in the universe by measuring Cepheid stars. They discovered white dwarfs and demonstrated stars are mostly made of hydrogen and helium.

Beach volleyball is a weird sport; you can dive onto soft sand a gazillion times without a scratch, and then suddenly the sand decides: “Yeah, that’s enough, give me all of your skin”.

Perhaps Grok 3 has reached AGI; it’s able to recognize BS better than a majority of US voters. I would have loved to see Elon’s face when they realized Grok was “woke”, and they had to botch this prompt-hack to censor it.

They demonstrate it's possible to construct an open-addressed hash table with improved expected search complexities, both amortized and worst-case, without the need to reorder elements over time. My (crude) Java implementation does show some encouraging results: github.com/royvanrijn/o...

As a kid, my parents were watching TV and on the news they reported that some group started using “guerrilla warfare” In school I was taught about Hannibal with his elephants, but using gorillas? That’s mental. My 10yo brain created scenes straight from the Planet of the Apes 🦍

Trump signs executive orders proclaiming there are only two types of developers, frontend and backend. His comments: Enough with fake “full stack” and wasteful DevSecOps. Developers should know the world is binary, this or that, not both.

Is this a thing? Software where you talk to historical figures and are guided with objectives to learn about physics, math, history... This is the future of schooling... at your own pace, asking curious questions all the time. Learning French? 🇫🇷 Visit the boulangerie and order fresh croissants.
