Barbican
Three years ago, while searching for Vitsoe setups, I stumbled upon Barbican. I delved deeper and discovered a building complex that that was beyond my imaginations. Young Fatih would definitely find it ugly; current me finds it beautiful.Fatih Arslan
A brief history of the numeric keypad
The title is a lie. This isn't brief at all.
Picture the keypad of a telephone and calculator side by side. Can you see the subtle difference between the two without resorting to your smartphone? Don’t worry if you can’t recall the design. Most of us are so used to accepting the common interfaces that we tend to overlook the calculator’s inverted key seque

Este finde me pillé en la #FeriaInternacionalDelDisco, por 12 pavos, el "The Up Escalator" de #GrahamParkerAndTheRumour (el original se lo llevó mi hermano cuando nos repartimos los vinilos), y estoy redescubriendo lo buen disco que era y lo mucho que me gustaba.
Disco de la semana.

✨ So excited to share these #unedited shots from my @yellowbellyphoto session yesterday✨
I’m still deciding which headshots I’ll choose to be edited and for my Spotlight, but I loved these so wanted to share as them - as these ones didn’t make the cut (and even these are wonderful, that’s how good they all are!)
With thanks to my amazing photographer Rosie 💙

Mit etwas Phantasie kann man in den weißen Blümchen einen Schwan, ein Pferd oder einen Drachen erkennen. Heute bin ich mal für den Schwan 😌
Das Bild zeigt eine prächtige Ansammlung von Bäumen und Sträuchern, die in voller Blüte stehen. Im Vordergrund sind Sträucher mit dichter Blüte zu sehen, die weiße und rosafarbene Blüten tragen. Die weißen Blüten sind dicht an den Zweigen angeordnet und scheinen fast wie Schnee zu glänzen, während die rosafarbenen Blüten einen lebhaften Kontrast bilden. Im Hintergrund erhebt sich ein großer Baum mit dichtem grünen Laub, dessen Blätter im Sonnenlicht glänzen. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, was die Farben der Blüten noch hervorhebt. Die gesamte Szene strahlt eine fröhliche und lebendige Atmosphäre aus, die typisch für eine sonnige Sommertagsszene ist.

I tried letting "Claude Code" solve a coding problem for me.
It was iterating, trying edits, running the tests, revising the code. But then when it couldn't get the tests pass to after a couple of iterations, it updated the test suite to just skip those tests, declaring that they were unreliable and not useful. 😂
The tests were passing before Claude got involved. Our jobs are safe for now.

in reply to koellefornia • • •Das Video zeigt einen jungen Kind, der auf einem Fahrrad eine ruhige Straße in einer städtischen Umgebung fährt. Das Kind trägt einen blauen Helm, ein weißes T-Shirt und braune Hosen. Die Straße ist asphaltiert und hat eine weiße Pfeilspur, die den Weg für Radfahrer markiert. Die Umgebung ist belebt mit Bäumen, die Blätter haben, und modernen Gebäuden auf beiden Seiten der Straße. Einige Menschen stehen am Straßenrand und beobachten das Kind. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist.
Im Laufe des Videos erscheinen verschiedene Hashtags wie "#StreetsforKids", "#StrassenfürAlle" und "#KidicalMass" auf dem Bildschirm, was auf eine Kampagne oder Initiative hinweist, die sich für die Sicherheit und Freizeitaktivitäten von Kindern auf Straßen einsetzt. Der Kind fährt entschlossen und konzentriert entlang der Straße, und die Szene vermittelt ein Gefühl von Freiheit und Sicherheit.
Die Kamera fokussiert sich auf den Kind von hinten, was die Perspektive des Kindes und die Fahrt auf der Straße betont. Die Umgebung bleibt konstant, mit Bäumen, Gebäuden und einigen Passanten, die das Kind beobachten. Der Text auf dem Bildschirm bleibt während des gesamten Videos erhalten, was die Bedeutung der Kampagne unterstreicht.
Das Video endet mit dem Kind, das weiter entlang der Straße fährt, während die Hashtags auf dem Bildschirm bleiben. Die Szene vermittelt ein Gefühl von Sicherheit und Freiheit, und die Kampagne "#StreetsforKids" wird deutlich hervorgehoben.
