Provincie legt #qbuzz 1 miljoen euro boete op over het eerste kwartaal.
Die kosten zijn allang ingecalculeerd, en het is het tweede kwartaal minstens net zo onbetrouwbaar. Rammelende bussen, ontbrekende chauffeurs.

A look at the state of #WebAssembly, as it turns 10. It’s getting traction in some areas (though notably game engines aren’t one of them), though a pain point is its low-level model and lack of any standard implementation of structured types or garbage collection making interfacing with dynamic languages, or indeed the web DOM, a pain. As with Java, though, the web may not be where it ends up.
I think the name has caused confusion and held it back.
I know I reflexively ignored and skipped over any mention of #WebAssembly until I realized very recently that it:
1) Is general purpose and not actually a "web" thing.
&
2) Isn't yet another name for #JavaScript.

I’m lazy, but I like hard work, shoulder to the plough
A heavy head feels good in bed, but I don’t sleep nohow
And minutes into hours into staring at the wall
My mind will not surrender into darkness into deeply dream at all

Funny to me still, how factually the seasons change
No pain when that ice cracks--I'm gainin' minutes back

We scored the limestone just like so
To map the stars' ascent
To prove we understood the Moon,
We left circles where she went(...)
But we were here, yes, we were here
And this is how it went
We made beauty, it made sense
And we destroy and we repent because
We were wild and we were wrong
And this is how our judgment's drawn
So sculpt and sketch and sign your own
All we leave are standing stones

Unknown parent • • •I realize that in this, the Century of the Kakistocracy, it is unlikely to pass legislation that helps actual people,but it should be absolutely illegal for business entities to buy single family residential properties. I’m not talking about like trusts, or even estates buying a singular or even adjoining property, but investment companies should not be allowed to make basic necessities like housing, an investment vehicle by owning enough property that they shift market values. We are in such an absurd bubble because vacant properties are being kept off the market specifically so as to raise prices. This leads to property taxes forcing long term owners to sell, with their houses being snapped up and kept off the market, further exacerbating the problem.
Vulture capital should be outlawed.
