We need to acknowledge that working effectively with AI programming tools is HARD - they're unintuitive, full of traps and can churn out huge volumes of bad code if you let them

But they can also greatly amplify your existing programming expertise if you know how to wield them

It turns out […]

@b0rk I used to do `git push --set-upstream origin my_branch`, until at some point I learned there was a flag I could set that would just insert the `--set-upstream origin my_branch` in the background when needed, and since then I've only been using `git push` (it's been glorious).

Can't for […]

@bert_hubert ik heb deze shoutout even hoogstpersoonlijk naar Frank gewhatsappt want hij is niet meer zo actief op Mastodon 😜

@jaapburger.eu I think that's only going to get worse on the short term tbh, given that grid constraints are an issue in so many countries, and that all the local TSOs and DSOs are coming up with their own unique mechanisms to deal with that. Which also kind of makes sense because the pressure […]

The 2025 BNEF factbook [1] on zero-emissions commercial vehicles is great, but in its analysis of Dutch zero emissions zones (first pic) it does miss the impact of the *enormous* spike in diesel sales last year (second pic, [2]) of people buying them before […]

@collectifission haha nou als je dan specifiek ook kijkt naar de kernergie-standpunten is het wel duidelijk 💜⚡️

Ember’s Electrotech Revolution deck (100+ slides!) makes for some very inspirational Sunday-morning reading: https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/the-electrotech-revolution/

@andrewdessler.com @[email protected] yes, check out this cool app called Reminders on your phone 😛

Finally, what does BDR propose? Specifically for big data analysis, we can already get quite far by rolling a stack of open-source tools on European hosters.

They have a repo with tooling for building this, with the promise you can set it up in one day (or […]

What alternatives are there? So far: it’s pretty barren out there.

With of course a @bert_hubert quote: “Dear hosters, you are selling wood, not furniture.” (3/4)

Why you should be concerned: even if your data is physically stored in the EU, the US government can view it or restrict your own access to it. This isn’t theoretical, it’s already happening (ICC example). (2/4)

Great talk from Manuel Spierenburg (Big Data Republic) at PyData Amsterdam this morning:

“Should Captain America sti host your data? A call for open, EU-based data platforms.”

Sharing the slides in 4 toots. First, the status quo: 80% of Dutch companies with >250 people are on US clouds

@jaapburger.eu kind of surprising that so many fossil vehicles are still for sale given their 5% market share

@collectifission zo’n 650 als je uitgaat van een capaciteitsfactor van 35% 😉

@pbloem “people currently experience AI" let's not confuse the loud angry minority on Mastodon with the general population ;)

@collectifission @Mndell ah mooi, wist niet dat ze daar bij Ivory al opheldering over hadden gegeven.

En ja screenshots kan je nooit tegengaan inderdaad...
leonoverweel.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
@collectifission @Mndell ja maar zolang clients de huidige manier van “quoten” blijven ondersteunen, is die controle er niet. En daar kan Mastodon verder niet zo veel aan doen.

@Mndell voor Ivory gebruikers als zo'n twee jaar ;)

@collectifission are these various countries also single and hot?
