Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’ | de Volkskrant
https://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/luister-naar-moslimvrouwen-zegt-schrijver-houria-bouteldja-een-vrouw-met-hoofddoek-zegt-tegen-witte-mensen-ik-behoor-jou-niet-toe~bc577135d/

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

A well informed rant against rutger bregman and his school for moral ambition, a powerwashing school for the elite, for them to feel good, but not to solve the issues they cause irl.

Why and How to Write Minimal and Valid HTML, a Link Guide · Jens Oliver Meiert
https://meiert.com/blog/minimal-and-valid-html/

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

as days pass by — A (limited) defence of footnotes
https://www.kryogenix.org/days/2025/07/03/a-limited-defence-of-footnotes/

Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.

The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?

How to Become a Time Billionaire
https://archive.is/CBhrS

While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

Wonderful, the old Japanese calendar was divided into 72 seasons, each of a few days. I wonder if something like this could be made for my backyard, for instance.

Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1

Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.

Overview ‹ Your Brain on ChatGPT — MIT Media Lab
https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/overview/

Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.
