Als jemand der weder E-Auto noch Strom vom Dach hat, erlaube ich mir das mit folgenden Worten zu kommentieren:

"Habens euch jetzt vollkommen ins Hirn geschissen?"
Wer Strom am Dach selbst erzeugt und ins Netz einspeist, soll künftig Netzgebühr zahlen
Das neue Gesetz für den Strommarkt nimmt langsam Gestalt an, dabei werden die Netzkosten neu verteilt. Besitzer von Photovoltaik-Anlagen sollen mehr zahlen, auch das Betanken eines E-Autos kann teurer...

Oh. I haven't recognized the port on top yet. Great addition.
After a week with the Switch 2, I think the biggest upgrade is having a charging port at the top and bottom

He did it again! Congratulations Klemens.
The Art of Fauna just *WON* an Apple Design Award in the Inclusivity category. 🤯

But it is also a finalist for Social Impact. 💚
Two nominations, one win. I still can't believe this. What a year 🥹

And that’s how he came to realise that there are higher instances in this world, like DHL. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’m feeling the vibe.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

I can only share the sentiment. My fanboyism died a while ago, and I am moving on by viewing them as just another platform.

Our kids dodged any virus for the whole winter season, and I was proud, but pride comes before the fall.

This was a hard one. But we, as developers for Apple platforms and as humans, have a responsibility to respond.

I’m really not sure how to start this one. Normally, I write about technical topics. But, that’s not what this is. This is different. So I’m just going to say it.

Today, I built my first web page with the static site generator Hugo and was amazed by its flexibility. For example, adding a custom shortcode to draw inline Mermaid graphs from markdown took me 10 minutes.

Here's a glossary for Swift concurrency.

I've been asked about this a few times, and I finally sat down to do it.

It would be nice if there was a single place to go to look up all the terms, keywords, and annotations related to Swift concurrency. So here it is. By no means do you need to understand everything her...

Buying ice skates the moment our lakes freeze is excellent timing 🤦‍♂️. The store is empty, folks are lining up, and there is only one expensive model left. Luckily, they are my size. There is no way around it; the kids need entertainment. ⛸️

The winter downtime reading hattrick is done by rereading a book every software engineer should know: Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout. It's a concise journey with practical advice on reducing software complexity. I ended up with more notes than the publisher allowed 🙃.
