Some excellent nerdy and niche HTML knowledge about the href attribute value.
Hilariously detailed article about hacking a vacuum cleaner.
PNG got an update with HDR as the most important update (I guess)
Nice docu. Interesting insights about how to run things, and how to do inclusion.
A beautifully illustrated visual essay about AI and art.

A talk I have about my clocks
Mooi artikel over tijd, over The Clock, over de expo in Breda, over verschillende soorten tijd.

When people say it’s hard to leave insta or whatever, this is a good link
Excellent explanation of why box-sizing: content-box can be useful.
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.
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.
