    Wero is a European wide payment system. In the Netherlands it replaces iDeal, which has been the (almost) universal payment method for webshops in the Netherlands. In not all Europ…

    Many people have complained about the quality of TCC code. It sometimes feel the code id one big unittest including all nasty C edge cases. I found this out when developing an even…

    In the Netherlands we do not bike for sport but for daily commutes and shopping. Most people on non e-bikes go at about 15km/h.

    I think that if you as 60+ person cannot bike without support your brain is probably also not fit enough anymore for the speed you are going to ride at. So, I advice older people n…

    This is one of the most frustrating things as being a software engineer: working on solutions that you feel that are not going to work. In some cases, I was the one saying that a p…

    Question: I once heard somebody talk about a micro-controller (with a minimal instruction set) where every register could be the program counter. It did not have jump or call instr…

    I find this a bit disappointing. Why not publish it with the preprint. Now we have no way to establish the quality of the two solutions or whether it is even possible to improve on…

    Really strange the the C JSON parser has to use malloc where the RUST version does not. As if it is not possible to write a JSON parser in C that does use malloc. I presume that th…

    How to correct errors? I found some museum with the name that matches a city (but not exactly) to be placed in that city while it is in a city at the other side of the country. I g…
