Magnum Opus

My Great Work I wrote my first code at the age of 10 on a Commodore 64 in BASIC. Ever since I have dreamed about all the possibilities and I longed to create something unique and wonderful. I dreamed about writing my own operating system, my own programming language, my own game… For almost 40 […]

I no longer fear AI

But you still should! I’ve been having revelations lately. It’s the time of the year for it for me…We *should* be afraid of AI. Very afraid. I think it is at Turing test level.I am still beating it, but for how much longer? People, wake up. DO NOT DO THIS This thing is brilliant and […]

Is Microsoft Copilot a coward?

After working with Copilot for a while now, my biggest issue with the system is it’s forget fullness, which will cause it to re-generate entire existing modules (in a new location of course, with all new names) simply because it ‘forgot’ that entire module already existed… Yes, Codepilot will vomit new code all over your […]

Coxels

Introducing: **Coxels**! Now why are you laughing like that? It must be completely obvious from the name that I am talking about ‘Code Voxels‘ Voxels? Ah yes… Ok, lets start at the beginning… You know pixels, right? Pfew, ok we have some foundation. So just like a pixel is a small enclosed region of screen […]

Your friend’s answer might come from a misunderstanding of how data is represented versus how it’s visualized. 📦 What is a Serialized Bitstream? A serialized bitstream is a […]

It’s integers! All the way down!!

For a very long time I have doubted quantum mechanics. Now I am sure. They must be wrong. All numbers are integers. Full stop. The real numbers… are imaginary. You are just looking at them from the wrong perspective. The oldest rule in the book Circa 2250 years ago, Archimedes posted a formula for PI, […]

I see a great future for emojis as icons on the web. In this post I will try to explain what I see, why I think that vision will be what the future holds, and how you can take advantage of that idea today. A short history of icons on the web Before we can […]

Programmers’ copyrights never expire

Our copyrights never expire! Because our copyright notices are programs that ensure that they never will: 🤣 Funny joke right? Except it’s not a joke. At least I don’t see alpine.js laughing. This fragment is in the example code shown on their website and it doesn’t look like they think it’s a joke. And I […]

Why I don’t trust the Dutch press – 2

I wrote previously about why I don’t trust the Dutch press, de Gelderlander, CNN and Reuters. I got some feedback on my last article about the Dutch press, that I did not exactly pick the best newspapers. That feedback is right. Metro is a free newspaper mostly read in public transport (hence the name) and […]
