@pietercolpaert Enkel open data van je eigen station dus. Maar da’s goed genoeg voor mij.

Bonus: betere weersvoorspellingen dan die van KMI of eender welke weer app.

(In Gent-centrum is het vaak een paar graden warmer.)

@pietercolpaert Tempest Weatherflow. Zeker met https://shop.tempest.earth/products/power-booster-accessory want in de winter niet genoeg zon hier.

Lokaal API via UDP broadcast. Goed gedocumenteerd: https://weatherflow.github.io/Tempest/api/udp/v143/

Draait hier al jaren, geïntegreerd met HomeKit. Werkt uitstekend.

Drupal CMS 2.0 performance testing prior to launch wins!

We tested early, found issues (CSS duplication, caching problems), and the community responded quickly. Most fixes already merged!

This is open source at its best. Proactive testing + fast collaboration = better software for everyone.

Long ago, I was an angry young man who railed against all the injustices of the world, but time has passed, I have matured and learned so much more about things, and now I am an angrier old man.

I had a bug in my new ML-DSA implementation that caused Verify to reject all signatures. I gave up debugging it (for the day) after half an hour. On a whim, I threw Claude Code at it. Surprisingly (to me!) it one-shotted it in five minutes.

A small case study of extremely useful AI tasks which are not generating a bunch of code that then requires review.

@stroobl @ChampersBE @TomDB Exact. Gas verbranden in elektriciteitscentrales om WP op elektriciteit te laten verwarmen is letterlijk efficiënter dan met gas verwarmen.
Dus ik … vind deze statements eigenlijk zo bizar dat ze bijna grappig zijn 😅

More of this please, shared e-bikes with child seats.

Lime deploys 500 e-bikes with child seats in Paris. 2/3 of parents willing to give up their cars for such a solution.
