New blog post: earlier this year, I presented at @bobkonf.de, arguing that “SwiftUI is functional”, I positioned SwiftUI’s approach in the context of the OOish MVC and the FPish MVU architectures. Here are the abstract and the video of the talk: justtesting.org/a/3mtpblfgfj...

Lambda World, there we go! Two days of fun fun functional programming 🤖 and the sun of Andalucía ☀️

Inspiring days at the Europa Power Conference! My message: Europe lacks power because national parties prevent it from acting. We need European parties thinking beyond borders and offering a shared vision against nationalism. European parties, like @volteuropa.org Join us! 🇪🇺

🧑‍💼🏢 Single sign-on Phare is getting enterprise ready, you can now let your members log in with the identity provider of your organization through OpenID Connect.

What would SQL be without recursive common table expressions (CTE)? Correct: nothing but glorified relational algebra. Recursive CTEs (and myself 😉) are on stage during the upcoming codetalks.com 2026 conference in Hamburg. Contains lots of funky SQL examples (all runnable in @duckdb.org).

Die #Energiewende 2000 in Deutschland gestartet - weltweit ein Erfolg: Erneuerbare verdrängen Kohle, Öl und Gas, Atom stagniert seit 20 Jahren

I asked Astra to unredact a name/email that had been poorly redacted (one row of pixels on the top of one copy, one row showing on the bottom of another.) I put it into Codex and asked it to find the font, and brute-force the letters until it found a match. I didn’t expect much. It took 10 minutes.

I used to like Audi. Not anymore.

(Reeee-) Launch!!! 🎉

EU Member States are serious about protecting the International Criminal Court and a world governed by international law. In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work.

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

Als je €60 betaalt voor een videogame, zou je die moeten mogen houden   Mijn Gameboy van 30 jaar geleden werkt nog steeds, maar moderne games kunnen op elk moment uit de handel worden gehaald. Ik vind dat niet eerlijk en daar wil ik verandering in brengen

Dutch intelligence obtained a Russian hack of Kushner's phone and then hacked it themselves to find:

Is this good or bad? 🤔

Yessss 🥳

If you're a maintainer of open-sourced Swift packages, this is an important change to be aware of! swiftpackageindex.com/blog/swift-6...

A handful of lines of Metal shading language can produce remarkable visual effects in SwiftUI ✨ Inferno is an open-source library of ready-to-use shaders that makes GPU-accelerated graphics accessible to every developer. www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/262...

With TamaGo you can create a bare metal POSIX kernel capable of running musl libc compiled C applications. This kernel consists of 10k LOC of pure Go code and 2k of Go Assembly. It boots 15x times faster than Linux and is shown here running busybox and redis.

Everyone over on X very excited that they saved the Internet from PHP vulnerabilities, and I’m thinking: if PHP is this important in 2026, we deserve whatever we get.

The ICC must be free to pursue its mission, independently, and without pressure or intimidation. Europe stands firmly behind President Tomoko Akane, the Court's judges and officials, and their vital work for a world governed by rules.

“The compromised eMudhra keys were defective at a level that’s challenging the imagination of many of the engineers studying the incident. ... ‘That is extremely in the ‘this should not be possible’ category,’ Valdorda said.”

If you make HTTPS requests or have other TLS clients and care about MITM attacks, you need to update today. If you run Go: go get go@1.27.3 If you run Homebrew: brew update brew install ca-certificates If you run Linux, maybe stay off the internet for now.
