Five years ago, the West risked a
full-blown diplomatic crisis with NATO ally Turkey
when 10 ambassadors called for the release of a man they saw as a political prisoner,
prompting an angry President Tayyip Erdogan to order their expulsion.
After two frantic days in 2021,

Making a Game in Janet, Part 3: The problem with macros
So we’re supposed to be writing a game, right? But in order to make progress, we have to fix a bug. And in order to fix the bug, we have to write a test.

I didn’t know very much about macros going into all of this – and I still don’t. But when I started writing Judge I knew, like, only the ab…

“The closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by ‌Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance.”

'Volgens de onderzoekers zijn tussen oktober 2021 en maart 2026 in Nederland minimaal 41 wolven gestroopt. Daarnaast zijn er sinds 2015 nog eens 38 wolven – bijna 15% van de geregistreerde populatie – onverklaarbaar van de radar verdwenen. De Veluwe vormt, samen met de noordelijke provincies, een van de belangrijkste hotspots van deze illegale jacht.'

'Berlijn, 1931. De stad heeft te lijden onder de economische crisis en onzekerheid. Terwijl de 32-jarige Germanist Jakob Fabian overdag zijn werk als reclame-copywriter doet, verkent hij samen met zijn medestudent Labude 's nachts de onderwereldkroegen, bordelen en kunstenaarsstudio's. - Dominik Graf's Film (2021) is gebaseerd op de originele versie van de beroemde roman van Erich Kästner.'
