The file extension for the JPEG image format is .jpeg. Not .jpg. I was once called .jpg because of limitations of DOS and Windows 3.1. That was thirty years ago.

Me: lunch making optimized and shortened by 20 seconds Also me: Let's stay in bed 40 minutes longer

There are no people who believe in a flat earth. It's a conspiracy thought of by people to feel smarter.

Okay. So Trump is imposing tariffs so that Americans will buy more domestic products, which means much more production is needed, which requires much more (cheap) labor, or more precisely: more immigrants. But he is actually sending immigrants away? How does this makes sense?

With DebugBear you can test global network speed (ttfb) for your website. Time can be up to 2000ms for further locations. Times 3 to get the load time of an average SPA website. Use a CDN and the ttfb is around 300ms all over the world, a must for international websites. www.debugbear.com/test/ttfb

I just read that investment company Softbank had 5% shares in Nvidia and they sold it 5 years ago. Someone is pulling their hair out now. 😂

Elon Musk | American History X I cut the clip. You decide.

When you're in a deep debugging session using Claude…

We have mice again for the first time in years. And apparently they like kiwis 😄

Amsterdam in the year 2100. (made with Midjourney)

Last week my espresso machine stopped grinding. I found out a screw was slipping. Roughened the screw and now we have freshly ground coffee again. And €700 saved 🎉

Amsterdam is often called the Venice of the North. I thought: why don't smart entrepreneurs tour with gondolas? But then it turned out that it had already been tried 😄

What is the best moment to tear down your Christmas tree? - Just after Christmas? - Just after New Year? - Somewhere in January? - Before Easter?

Very cool: a 3D cat in CSS. No JavaScript.

Haha, het idee voor Erik of het klein insectenboek van Godfried Bomans komt van een citaat van Leonardo da Vinci: "Wij zijn allen ballingen, levend binnen de lijsten van een vreemd schilderij. Wie dit weet, leeft groot. De overige zijn insecten."

When I started freelancing, I set my retirement age at 65. Now I'm back in employment and my retirement age is now 68 😭

Dit plan voor studentenstad Berkeley ziet er wel heel Nederlands uit. Behalve het zonnescherm, natuurlijk 🙂

Postzegels verzamelen doen jongeren ook al niet meer! <shakes fist>

Also interesting from Cloudflares Year in Review showing the use of IP4 address blocks. While there is a severe shortage of IP4 addresses, the United States Department of Defense appears to be sitting on a large number of unused addresses. radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-revi...

Cloudflare released their Year in review. Remarkable is that less rich countries like Hungary and Romania have the fastest internet 😲 radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-revi...

Today a glass fell off the counter and I managed to catch it half a meter above the ground. I felt a little bit like a superhero 😁

Uitnodiging voor een presentatie hoe je fishingmail herkent die eruit ziet als een fishingmail 😭

Do you remember hand formatting you code? 😄

🌐 This week I learned a lot about mapping software. Things would be so much easier if the earth was actually flat… #FlatEarth

The sad story of Jest, the JavaScript Testing Framework. While every developer and every tool is moving from CJS to ESM, ESM support in Jest is still experimental. Don't they wonder why developer positivity in the State of JavaScript is declining since 2021? jestjs.io/docs/ecmascr...

One of my earliest memories was when I was six. The teacher asked the class to think about something (I don't remember what) and I took on the pose of Rodin's The Thinker 😄
