They said it would never happen. Hundreds of Beavers hits $1,000,000 in worldwide Box Office. Long live indie cinema! $150,000 budget and a dream. And thank you to the fans who got us here.

I am walking across NL on pieterpad.nl May 27-Jun 15, 2025. Inspired by Rainer Grimm's ALS journey www.modernescpp.com/index.php/ca... , I'm pledging 1 euro for each km logged (~500) to ALS research. I invite you to join me virtually with your own daily walking and ALS pledge! More updates to come!

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Today I revisited C-code I wrote 21 years ago. Not horrible code, but way too long functions, too deep nesting of loops and conditions, and short cryptic names for things. And a few odd idiosyncracies like !0 for "true". I guess this is proof that I have improved since then. Good!

I was a great fan of musical humorist Victor Borge. He played here, many years ago, and I didn't go to the concert. A year or so after, he passed away. Now I try to go to events when I can. This random YT find from Duo Baldo, reminded me of this lost chance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOEu...

What on earth did I just watch? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h4P... The link is a teaser. You have to pay to watch the full film. It's well worth it. A crazy 1930s cartoon mashup, but with actors in silly costumes and very lo-fi effects.

I know large language models can't do math, but one might have thought a large language model could do language. Here's Google explaining that the past tense of the verb lever is "leveraged".

I was asked to have a look at GitLab Duo. If you've used it, what are your experiences, good and bad? Please, only first hand experience, not hearsay.

You need to read this thread so you can use the meme to quickly explain to someone else why you're reacting strongly to something very small. Because you should.
