No, but check out Rotterdam Centraal, Haarlem and Groningen. Also stunning, IMHO, is Antwerp, Belgium.

Companies will keep doing what they're doing now - they'll just use another verb than "buy" or "purchase". Which would be a small improvement, I guess...

Very sad to see this (and cancelled my subscription). My home-grown web-based orchestrator will now have to rely on just codex and Gemini. One of the reasons that I was wary of turning it into a product. Eventually Google and OpenAI will pr

Sure, but it's pretty trivial to generate a CLI application that talks to that API. That's how I let agents access my database too. Letting them access psql is a recipe for disaster, but a CLI executable that contains the credenti

Often in movies you have the scrappy character that rises to the occasion by making a great speech, winning everybody over. I used to love those scenes. Now, I've realized, in real life they wouldn't have let them finish their fir

The Netherlands has had a similar scheme for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_subsidy_(Netherlands) . 1956-1987.

No, this is incorrect. Investors like buybacks, so when the buyback is announced, share prices may rise, but certainly not by the amount of the buyback. They don't go up when the buyback gets executed, unlike dividends, which decrease

This is not quite correct. If a dividend happens, the market capitalisation drops by the amount of the dividend, the number of shares remains constant, so the share price dips by the amount of the dividend per share. All investors get the d

Yeah, me too, that form factor was perfection. So pretty, so nice to hold!

That's why they should be phased, and not too steeply. If they're phased, e.g. at 30% (for every additional €1 you earn, benefits decrease by €0.30), you have the problem that when you are applicable for several of them (e.g. for

For those that want to stick with thermodynamics, imagine an organism that stores 1% of consumed calories as fat, and uses the other 99%, and that cannot - for whichever reason - turn fat back into calories. Completely in accordance with t

Software development is a bit like chess. 1. e4 is an abstraction available to all projects, 3. Nc3 is available to 20% of projects, while 15. Nxg5 is unique to your own project. Or, abstractions in your project form a dependency tree, and

8kb to specify the order of the clips, but not a single bit is used to describe a single pixel of a single frame.

So bizarre! It really shook my belief in Philips' competence at the time. I mean, take a 100 minute movie, sliced into 1-second clips. 8kB is not even enough to store all possible orders you could put those clips in. I would hate to th
