Je mehr ich über die Situation im Nahen Osten gelernt habe, desto unsicherer bin ich geworden, was die richtige Vorgehensweise ist. Jede einfach wirkende Antwort zerbricht.

For Ace Maths I searched for unicode icons to mark progression: show that you’re getting better. Since I found a lot of different options (from simple sparklines to a huge list of animals), I’m collecting them in this article.

Small Tips & Tricks for Python development. I’ve been programming a lot with Python until 2017 but took a long break. Now I’m more and more stepping in again because I’m using it at work. In this article I gather useful snippets I find along the way.

I read a lot about new technologies. Technologies for health, the energy transition, the future of mobility, or mobile phones. And for many engineers, legal or societal issues are "non-problems." I used to see it that way myself. But when I look at the world, it is actually the opposite: Every technical challenge we currently face can be solved if we, as a society, decide to take it on together. The real problems, however, are not technical. They lie in deciding what matters most to us. Which challenges we want to solve.

Denk daran, dass ich auch nur ein Mensch bin, der im Netz schreibt, was er denkt, und versucht, durch Erfahrungen und Lesen Gelerntes weiterzugeben, von dem er hofft, dass es stimmt und anderen hilft, aber bei vielem nicht sicher sein kann.

I’m deeply annoyed by the sorry state of decision making in programming. It’s OK to rely on intuition in a creative field like software development, but given how critical software is for todays society it is horrible that we don’t even know fundamentals like whether types improve quality enough to warrant their cost or whether parentheses are less readable than Pascal — beyond anecdotal evidence, the effect of funding, and feelings influenced by what you already know.

If Baldur’s Gate 3 stops working because Wine updated to version 10, you can try to hack something together or find a flatpak someone else maintains for you and keep playing. Or you can learn about Guix inferior packages and gain a tool for truly eternal package definition. There are tons of reasons why you may want that, but “my game stopped working!” is as good as any other :-).

To follow along, install Guile and try the examples as you read.

This 90 minutes talk describes how peer-to-peer networks managed to interactively search 4 million computers with the bandwidth of 2004, which goals they failed to reach, and what information the networks expose as part of their operation.

Started playing #Bayonetta 3 today. It’s even more awesome than I had expected ☺ – crazy how they manage to make pretty complex, super-powerful gameplay easy to grasp and use with minimal guardrails.

Fun trailer ☺ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWSA4p8jprQ
