Weil es nichts nützt, wenn der Strom übers Jahr berechnet günstiger wird, aber im Winter das Netz kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch steht. Und genau das wird von den entsprechenden Lobbyisten möglichst hoch aufgehängt. Nicht zu vergessen die Tatsache dass Deutschland im Sommer viel Strom importiert, weil das billiger ist als Kraftwerke hochzufahren, aber es lässt sich wunderbar für Propaganda ausschlachten.

I just found by accident that Embarcadero has made most (all?) blog posts from Borland and Codegear available, back to 1995. They are by “Embarcadero Archives” and there are 474 posts in total. The very first one is Extracting A Bitmap From A BLOB Field from 1995-06-01. There is also Allen Bauer’s A “Nullable” Post from 2008-09-18, wrongly attributed to Barry Kelly Another pos

Dimming the charging LED on the Motorola G7 Power (LineageOS)
AI;DR – This blog post was mostly generated by Claude (via Claude Code), as was the script which is described here. If you don’t want to read “AI slop”, stop reading now. One small thing about my Motorola G7 Power (codename ocean) had been bugging me ever since I put LineageOS on it: the little LED that lights up while the phone is charging glows in a harsh, bright whit

TxtCipher code review: RC4 keystream reuse and a versioned AES format
AI;DR – The security review described here was done by Claude Code with the Fable model, and the resulting changes and this blog post were developed with significant help from it. If you don’t want to read “AI slop”, stop reading now. TxtCipher is a small web page that encrypts and decrypts text with a password. I wrote it to exchange text with TxtCrypt, a macOS pr

The Comment Code editor expert in GExperts lets you comment out a selected block of code with a single keyboard shortcut. You can configure which comment style to use per file extension: //, { }, (* *), /* */, or — (SQL). There is a problem with some comment styles though: For all but // Pascal does not support nesting comments of the same style. If you configure
