Niets is zo kostbaar als populistische 'oplossingen' die vaak de situatie op lange termijn alleen maar erger maken:

Vast 'toeval' dat bezuinigingen op rechts juist die kennis betreffen... 🙈

I'm thoroughly convinced that a lot of the problems we have as a society in general and with the tech industry in particular is toxic positivity—when people just can't get themselves to call out bad things for what they are; it's so often I see needless defending of bad work or outright insults hurled at customers by big corporations, and endless calls for a false civility.

As the first guests began to trickle in, the conversation turned,
as these things do,
to the ethics of gene-editing embryos to create custom babies.
“I would actually argue that the ethical questions probably aren’t as big,
because kids already don’t choose their genes,” said

Why Elon Musk and JD Vance Are Obsessed With You Having More Babies
My strange weekend with the pronatalists.

Just fixed an interesting and subtle shader performance bug.
Here I'm trying to recover a clock from a PAM-3 signal which consists of two consecutive filter blocks: the PAM edge detector (find level crossings and interpolate, accounting for the fact that the threshold changes depending on start/end symbol), and then the CDR PLL proper.
If you're not familiar with NSight Systems especially on complex multithreaded applications, there's a lot going on here even though I…

As you may have heard, the russian-populist party #BSW won no parliament seats in Germany's 2025 federal election, as they had failed to reach the 5% threshold by only a few thousand votes.
However, you might be surprised to hear that, in a somewhat Trump-like manner, the party then proceeded to spread myths and sought a recount. Though, next week, parliament will expectedly reject the re…

Rückschlag fürs BSW – Wahlausschuss plädiert gegen Neuauszählung der Bundestagswahl
Bei der letzten Wahl hat das Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht den Einzug in den Bundestag knapp verpasst. Das BSW legte Beschwerde ein. Nun hat der Wahlprüfungsausschuss getagt und empfiehlt keine Neuauszählung.

Vandaag een klein ritje gemaakt op mijn nieuwe fiets. 4 kilometer, alles, werkelijk alles is anders, maar niet onprettig of zelfs beter. Maar ook mijn beenspieren laten me voelen dat ze écht nieuwe bewegingen moeten leren. Dat had ik niet zo verwacht. Foto's maken terwijl ik fiets kan ik nog niet aan. Deze is na thuiskomst. #regel17

'tear Gas Tuesday' In Downtown Portland
Over the summer of 2020, Portland's police force deployed large amounts of tear gas to suppress local demonstrations against racialised police violence. Focusing on a single representative day—2 June 2020—we simulated the path of the toxic tear gas clouds as they spread widely across the city centre, demonstrating that the concentration levels were in serious excess of recognised safe thresholds.

Gas stoves are filling millions of homes with hidden toxic air #environment

Gas stoves are filling millions of homes with hidden toxic air
Stanford researchers found that gas stoves expose Americans to surprisingly high levels of nitrogen dioxide—often matching or exceeding outdoor pollution. For millions, cooking alone pushes NO2 over long-term safety thresholds. Smaller homes, renters, and rural households face the highest concentrations. Cleaner cooking technologies could substantially reduce the risks.
