ivolimmen··on They don't make 'em like that any more: Borland Turbo Pascal 7
I used Borland OWL under Windows at school. I moved to Java later on and felt the sting on the last line...
ivolimmen··on The Valley Bubble Breaks
I am a Linux user myself but I don't think Linux will be a mainstream os anytime soon even though I hear that a lot.
ivolimmen··on The Valley Bubble Breaks
I think that 'AI will fix that' is the equivalent of 'This year will be the year of Linux on the desktop'
ivolimmen··on Guerrilla bike lanes: San Francisco makes illicit infrastructure permanent (2016)
It's nice to see that other countries are opening up to bikers. This is a very applaudable action of the local government. I hope and wish for everyone in the world to have the same bike infrastructure like we (the Dutch) do.
ivolimmen··on Kitty 0.50
When running a script in the terminal but it fails and it's a huge output and the script was a hack and it only outputs to standard out than a 'ctrl + shift + g' opens the last output of a command in less so I can analyze it's content.
ivolimmen··on Kitty 0.50
I use multiple terminals. I like Ghostty and Kitty. I the past I tried multiple others like Guake, Allacritty, xterm, Gnome Terminal, ITerm (when I was forced to use a Mac), Windows Terminal (I am now forced to work on Windows). And of all terminals I still prefer Kitty. There is one feature Kitty has that no other has (or not yet) and that is the 'open last execution log' (ctrl + shift + g). It's a lifesaver.
ivolimmen··on Toit v2.0.0
So (obvious question) how hard was it working using one hand as your brother was forcing your other one?
ivolimmen··on Toit v2.0.0
I can tell you that he does not have a Dutch accent. And the guy that played a Dutch guy was talking German. Source: I'm Dutch and also understand German.
ivolimmen··on XPS 16 Creator Edition Laptop
I live in Europa and I ordered it for work. Took slightly more than a week.
ivolimmen··on XPS 16 Creator Edition Laptop
I bought the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14" with Ryzen 9900HX and 96GB running Linux and it's even better than my previous Dell XPS 15. Smaller, lighter and faster. And it only costs something like €2K.
ivolimmen··on I Did This Without Your Knowledge
The story is nice; not super unique. The scene that Seth and Eliza see an old teacher of Seth is nice. The AI gives some people purpose and takes it away for some (Tabby).
ivolimmen··on There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability
Can't find it; we get a lot. I have to correct myself it wasn't root access but machine access. But still a very weird requirement.
ivolimmen··on There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability
I have the feeling that for some time now the CVE scores are insane. A while back we have a security issue with a dependency in Java that had a score of 9 I believe. It had a requirement that the attacker had root access.
ivolimmen··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
On my last vacation I came across a similar message on reddit[0] and it totally spooked me. I have been telling my wife I want to move as my area (at some point) will be flooded. I live in the Netherlands and when the icecaps have melted (WHEN not IF) I live in the wrong part.

ivolimmen··on Recreational Programming
I am style 4 and 5. I run 2 websites I use daily myself. And yes I can cook. And no I do not use LLM's
ivolimmen··on I switched to Brave
I had the same issue and switched to Waterfox. I am very happy about it.
ivolimmen··on What happened to the Snowden archive
Apart from his news: if Snowden want to get out of exile and return to the US; the current administration can be bought. The next president will probably still wants to jail him (or worse)
ivolimmen··on What happened to the Snowden archive
Thanks that works
ivolimmen··on What happened to the Snowden archive
My browser (FireFox) shows a warning before opening the site. Followed by a blocked message by my DNS provider because the site is malicious. I'll need to do some network changes if I want to see this.
ivolimmen··on Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger
I always have warm nuts on a plane...
ivolimmen··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
He is an American so 'first world' is kind of debatable now with Trump. /s
ivolimmen··on Learn Programming with OCaml
Keep using your brain or you will forget stuff. Doing puzzles is great, programming in new languages is also great.
ivolimmen··on The Real Luxuries In Life
I lived a short time in my 20s with friends a few blocks from my parents. When I returned to live with my parents for a short period the entire dynamic changed. You leave the house so you don't go to your room, you visit. I started talking more and listening to music with them. I really appreciated my parents more. I hope my relationship with my children will be the same.
ivolimmen··on Netherlands pulls gold out of the US
I am dutch and read the news this week but I found it weird that a part of it went to England. I was expecting a European country.
ivolimmen··on Git hosting that never leaves Europe
I am happy you did as I was looking for a European alternative
ivolimmen··on Git hosting that never leaves Europe
Well as soon as your pricing is available and full onboarding is done, I will be pushing for it at work. We just left bitbucket and I have everything stored locally until we find an alternative and I just found it.
ivolimmen··on Haiku R1/beta6 has been released
I keep a personal list of links to defend my non-AI stance. It is weird I even need to. If I am a carpenter and I was ordered to use a robot and tell it what to do there would be lawsuits and what not but as a software developer I am the idiot that does not want to modernize.
ivolimmen··on The Twelve-Factor App (2025)
I still point to this document as the base of DevOps. Most people I work with in IT never read it. If you want to do proper DevOps these are a requirement not optional. Last time I pointed someone to this site was last week.

ivolimmen··on The state of AI in 2026: On the road to ROI
All my software development friends know how to use databases. I am interested in what kind of developers you know that don't...
