If you have a house you’ll most of the time are required by the bank (because mortgage) to have what’s called an “opstalverzekering” which is what insures damages to the house. These have a component that insures against flood damage but t

Have you ever used the Octopus Deploy command line tool? It says on every command “oh you can use -f json” except that almost none of its commands actually implement it and you get the human readable output which you then have to sed/a

Definitely a useful tool. Decoding protobuf (and message formats in general) can be such a pain and fun at the same time. I’ve written ProtobufDecoder which takes a different approach: analyze the structure of the actual messages to help y

So perhaps not “production” in the terms you’re thinking of but I’ve built https://roadcaptain.nl with AvaloniaUI and I’ve been pretty happy with both the results as well as the developer experience. One of my requirements was a

Two of my friends rode motorcycles and did this on purpose because “it’s more annoying so people see me coming” and I’ve never been able to convince them it’s dangerous because you’re basically blinding people… Edit: also in the Netherlands

I’m using this approach for an add-on I wrote for Zwift. Even in such a scenario the functional (state machine style) approach works really well and allows me to deal with all sorts of random inputs or glitches

For me it was serious black-outs and lots of migraines. The ones where you start seeing scintillating scotoma [0]. On top of that both anger and anxiety attacks, you know all the fun stuff. Of course this is different for almost anyone but

I have the same problem, need to really push to actually think properly. Not only for work but just in general. I’ve taken a break off work for ~7 months but it seems that wasn’t enough to get back to the level I was used to before. While t

RoadCaptain: https://roadcaptain.nl/ It’s an add-on to Zwift that lets you create your own custom routes and not be limited to the fixed ones offered by Zwift. I’ve been working on this for a little over a year and I’ve had

I think the most crazy thing to enter Dakar was the DAF Turbo Twin. https://www.carhutt.com/daf-95-turbotwin-x1/ 2400bhp in a truck… See this video of it overtaking one of the rally cars to get an idea how truly crazy

This is generally how you’d make this kind of encryption/decryption work for apps that don’t have documented/open interfaces. In fact, it’s what I’ve done to reverse engineer the encryption for Zwift for example (and a ton of othe
