    It hasn't even been formally approved by the cabinet. Right now it's just a political agreement between the coalition party. A law still has to be drafted that the cabinet can then…

    The slogan "Wer hat uns verraten? – Sozialdemokraten!" has a rather long history. Coined by communist during the 1918 November Revolution, it referenced the social democrats at lea…

    My experience with a large-ish ($5m/year) AWS account was quite different. They were happy to support us with cost optimizations, discounts, and one time credits for certain activi…

    Just used it to automate some reporting today. Claude Code worked pretty well though sometimes I had to point it to Typst docs to understand what I wanted.

    There’s been a lot of progress (Temporal, URL, TextDecoder, Base64 encoding, etc.) but there are still gaps. Math.clamp is a big one (it’s a TC39 proposal). I’d also love to have t…

    Heat pump exists. I’d rather burn gas in the (mostly existing) gas plants than put more gas pipes into the ground.
