Staged rollout of version 18 of the official Tomorrowland app for Android has started.

There are no major changes, but quite a lot of "small" fixes to make the app run smoother.

Sets of Tomorrowland Brasil will be available in the app: live during the festival and afterwards on-demand.

I could really relate to the passion of writing software. The assessment of AI as unethical theft of everyone's work was just cherry on top.

Ik zie het niet zitten om mijn uitgaande facturen in Yuki te beginnen maken (omwille van Peppol). Misschien kan ik mijn bestaande custom code uitbreiden om mijn facturen op het Peppol netwerk te krijgen?

Heeft er iemand ervaring met de Peppol API's van recommand.eu of e-invoice.be?

Toen de Versuz in Hasselt eerder dit jaar de deuren sloot was ook het lot van het radiostation bezegeld. Ik heb zonet de "Versuz Radio" Android app offline gehaald.

Mensen die op zoek zijn naar een dagelijkse portie beats, verwijs ik graag door naar de Tomorrowland app: www.norio.be/apps/com.tom...

I really wish LinkedIn added a text field to the "Open to work" section of your profile.

That way I could make it very clear that I'm not available for full-time projects. At best I'm available 40%.

That would save a lot of recruiters a lot of time...

It's a tool to export/convert the strings in a Google Sheet into resource files for Android apps.

For every day a programmer doesn't have a meeting, they gain 1X, up to a maximum of 10x. But if they attend a meeting, they lose all their Xs (and half of their gold).

When the Play Store turns a full blown AAB into an APK optimized for a specific device, and that causes a crash at runtime because something is missing (e.g. libsqliteJni.so) you've basically stuck: issuetracker.google.com/issues/34163...

"The Turtle and the Hare" only it's "The Programmer and the Vibe Coder".

The vibe coder is way ahead and decides to take a nap while the AI does its thing. While sleeping, the AI deletes the prod database.

De rol van #universiteiten is niet om de overheid en regering ter wille te zijn, zelfs niet om afgestudeerden vooruitzichten op een goede job te geven, maar wel om mensen een intellectuele vorming te geven en op die manier te voorzien in een intellectuele infrastructuur voor de samenleving.

It's a library for building presentations in #kotlin and Compose! I've built a couple presentations using it, and I'm really excited about the potential!

My TicWatch Pro 3 did not make it till its 5th birthday. Battery won't charge beyond 30% and immediately drains when you turns on the device. Replacing the battery is too hard/cumbersome.

I have decided to get a Pixel Watch 3 instead. Not cheap but it looks/feels great and runs smooth.
