A bunch of cells, which by pure luck, amount to some sort of intelligence. I am also lucky to call myself a father of two lovely human beings. 

Besides that, I run a company that builds insurance products; with focus on simplicity. Sometimes we fail and sometimes we don’t. Take a look here — https://karlbikes.com.

 I strive to be humble; a good human. Call me an idiot and naïve.

Captain Janeway: "Computer, display Fairhaven character, Michael Sullivan. [...]

Give him a more complicated personality. More outspoken. More confident. Not so reserved. And make him more curious about the world around him.

Now... Increase the character’s height by three centimeters. Remove the facial hair. No, no, I don’t like that. Put them back. About two days’ growth.

Oh, one more thing. Access his interpersonal subroutines, familial characters. Delete the wife."

Craig Mod recaps the Thailand walk and talk we did last week. “Our sweat had sweat. We were a moving swamp. The fabric bits on our backpacks had turned sentient. I wanted to apply bleach atop my sunscreen.” https://craigmod.com/ridgeline/175/

This statement may seem blasphemous in a society obsessed with hustle culture and endless motivation, but let me be honest — I loathe the act of working. I hate it. It doesn’t fulfil my purpose or ignite any passion within me.

Our obsession with hustle culture, this idea that our self-worth is tied to how much we achieve, is suffocating.

I hate work. — Joan Westenberg

The piercing sound of my alarm shatters the stillness of my room at the ungodly hour of 5 AM, and I reluctantly drag myself out of bed. It’s the same daily grind, a routine I’ve been stuck in for years, first as a sound engineer, then as a tech exec, and now as an indie tech writer. I’m caught in th

The `hanging-punctuation` property in CSS

Neue Podcastfolge! Ruth und ich erklären, warum der Urknall schon wieder nicht widerlegt worden ist. Außerdem geht es um Geistergalaxien, Doppelasteroiden und Kernfusionstankstellen auf dem Mond. Hier geht's zur Folge: https://dasuniversum.podigee.io/92-du091-der-urknall-war-kein-fehler
DU091 - Der Urknall war kein Fehler

In Folge 91 schauen wir zuerst auf Doppelasteroiden und die ersten Bilder von Euclid. Danach erzählt Ruth von neuen Erkenntnissen über die “Geistergalaxie”, die voller dunkler Materie ist, bei der es sich aber um “flauschige Materie” handeln könnte. Und in der Hauptgeschichte geht es um die Beobachtungen des James-Webb-Teleskops, die angeblich zeigen, dass der Urknall nicht so stattgefunden haben kann, wie wir dachten. Ist aber nicht so. Neue Untersuchungen zeigen klar: Der Urknall war kein Fehler! Evi erzählt vom Film “Moon”, von Bergbau auf dem Mond und der Kernfusion auf der Erde. Außerdem: Wir zünden Jupiter an, klettern auf den Olymps Mons und haben keine Ahnung von Jugendwörtern.

Passing @adactio's latest around the team this morning, as we're ripping out React from Edge's UI surfaces and replacing it with Web Components; conservatively we're seeing a 2x speedup:
