Lessons learned from burning things.

Nothing is Something

There’s a post on htmx.org about why htmx wasn’t the right fit for a particular project (which is dope, we need more websites that admit their thing might not be the right thing all the time). The bit on AI being unfamiliar with their tool choice piqued my interest: It’s wo...

I keep a personal collection of beautiful macOS app icons, which might make you ask: “How does he get those icons?” Apps in the App Store For apps in the Mac App Store, I have my ways. I don’t necessarily want to write about them because I’m semi-afraid Apple would frown on ...

Preventief politie in je chat?

Gisteren pleitte de minister van Justitie & Veiligheid voor nieuwe bevoegdheden voor de politie om preventief mee te mogen kijken in besloten chatgroepen: Uit de Volkskrant De minister legitimeert dit met deze motie van de Tweede Kamer, die echter iets anders zegt. En de details maken uit. Historisch gezien doet de politie onderzoek naar concrete misdrijven. Dingen die al gebeurd zijn of heel binnenkort gaan gebeuren.

We don't know why people are voting like that, and the results are terrible

We get tons of articles and reports explaining why people just voted like that. However, even for specific elections, these explanations are wildly inconsistent and can’t all be true.
