I used to think a warm climate is great (Italy, Spain, California, etc). The older I become and the warmer our German climate becomes, the more I wish for Denmark, Norway or Finland's climate.

Climate change is doing this to the current generation. No war needed.

I can write C in any language, but Rust is sometimes making it difficult.

It's that time of year again! Drowning doesn't look like drowning; familiarize yourself with the instinctive drowning response

I have one ticket for Guns'n'Roses in Munich left (we've got nobody watching the dog, and it's too hot to leave him in the car). Anybody knows someone or wants to join me?

Had a gig wrap up a little earlier than expected, I should have availability starting July or so. As always: if you need help with Embedded, Rust, or similar things, shoot me a message! If you're a user of postcard, p-rpc, or are interested in the more experimental new ergot: shoot me a message!

every single time you hear about execs culling employees to replace them with AI, remember that those execs could be replaced even more efficiently by AI and provide far far far greater savings

With AI being so much in the news I can't help but think that I would prefer NI (natural intelligence) to return and be nurtured more. I have the feeling humanity has collectively become dumb.

From the tales of hard learned lessons: PEM SSH keys need a trailing newline. The error you're getting will not tell you that. It will be an odd, unrelated, head-scratcher error.

In our profession we're sitting a lot. Any one of you folks have any good recommendations for a decent chair? Mine is done, and I'm looking for something ergonomic to replace it with. Money is no object.

I wish docs.rs were available as man pages. That'd be awesome!

I'm frequently asked "how much does @compiler-explorer.com cost to run". I've done some digging and posted xania.org/202506/compi... which is a high-level breakdown of the costs (and revenue); and links to a more in depth report if you want all the gory details.

If I would seal a hot beverage in something like a castor, that's insulated and fully sealed shut with a weld or comparable, would this beverage stay hot forever?

I will never understand why the -C in a tar command needs to come AFTER the path to the archive. (Well, at least on my ancient version of tar)

Building a Debugger is now officially released! It guides you through building a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes. Even if you don't care about building a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

Life is just better at 80 kph. Anymore is too much. Any less is too little.

It's that time again, all rust-analyzer suggestions stopped working. I'm back in the 90s of coding, without any editor help. I don't get it, why this is happening all of a sudden. Nothing changed.

Note to self: Don't export RA_LOG=debug. This will crash your Linux box.

For reasonably complex configuration, which format do you prefer? A) TOML B) YAML C) KDL (kdl.dev) D) Something else?
