What is currently the best browser if you don't want to include AI nonsense? Looking at vivaldi.com right now
Vivaldi Browser | Powerful, Personal and Private web browser
It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivaldi browser for desktop, mobile, and your car!

A new game, called: guess the movie

Recently I got lots of spam full-stack developers from Vietnam, Hong Kong and other locations in my mail. All willing to help my company.

Swedish PM: 'We will not be blackmailed' by Trump's Greenland tariff

The only correct reaction imo.

Nowadays I'm actively looking for non-American products (Thank you Donald T.) Was first thinking about a Synology NAS, but will buy a QNAP instead.

De problemen op het Nederlandse spoor laten weer duidelijk zien dat de bonentellers bij de NS aan de macht zijn ipv techneuten.

Breaking news: Trump threatens to bomb Copenhagen after hearing that he wasn't awarded the Nobel peace prize.

39 % tariff for Switzerland is for sure going to convince them to move their watch making business to Detroit.

I guess I have to switch to another browser or use some plugin. I don't want to see that stupid AI generated nonsense at the top of my search results.

Version 1.2 of py-predicate will probably allow property based testing, but also run-time instrumentation of a function against a specification: github.com/mrijk/py-pre...

Working on #Clojure spec like functionality for py-predicate: github.com/mrijk/py-pre... . This will allow users to test functions based on predicates for their parameters.

So your #python function has a type signature with a float. Now let's test that and call it with math.inf and see what happens.

py-predicate can now dynamically generate lambda functions with a variable nr of parameters. Bit of magic involved with types.FunctionType but no 'eval' needed. github.com/mrijk/py-pre...

#TypeScript is nice for developers who previously developed clunky corporate #Java applications and accidentally moved to frontend development. Imho frontends shouldn't care about business logic and types.

So many ideas for new functionality of my composable #python predicate library. Working towards the next release of py-predicate. github.com/mrijk/py-pre...

Watched Terminator 1 yesterday. Noticed that a robot coming back from 2029 is still running an 8 bit 6502 microprocessor instruction set. So probably we have nothing to fear from AI in the near future.

Looking for a small reading light for in a bedroom, preferably European. Any thoughts?

More European wine for us! #trump #tariffs

I think by now we need to start realising that Trump is going to actively help Putin with information to fight Ukrain.

We had a hot shrimp curry with rice, paired with a nice Dutch (!) white wine (Auxerrois, hoeve Nekum)
