AI Software Development – What Does The Data Say?

Ha, same :) that itch is exactly why I ended up writing a whole book about them. My favourite from that family: Q = ¼mm, from the Japanese kyū (級) cssunits.com/article/abso...
Absolute Units — CSS Units
px, cm, mm, in, pt, pc and Q, all anchored to 1in = 96px. Why absolute units stop being physical the moment they hit a screen, and where each one still earns its place.

🔥 New blog post: Dark mode toggles that expose three states (system, light, dark) seem like the best option. Until you think about user goals, that is. Before rushing to disagree, hear me out. lea.verou.me/blog/2026/da... PS: As a data point, @jakearchibald.com was converted after reading this 😅
Dark mode toggles: two states are enough • Lea Verou
Yes, the underlying model must have three states, but one is always irrelevant to the actual user goal. Users do not seek out solutions to problems they don’t currently have. A lot of the hate towards...

Ich habe zu lange auf Katherina Reiches neue Solar-Regeln geschaut. Bis mir auffiel: Die Wind-Bedingungen werden komplett umgebaut. Das stellt 6000 genehmigte Projekte infrage – ohne die die Energiewende scheitert. Ein THREAD 🧵
Today’s the day that the EHRC code of practice comes into effect, containing Labour’s Bathroom Ban. It is designed to scare service providers into enforcing a ban on trans people using toilets and changing rooms the Labour government knows it cannot enforce itself. #BogOff

Kolumne: Neue #Batteriegroßspeicher aus Salz (sicher) und Rost (mit guten Chancen) stellen bisherige Kosten- und Zeitkalkulationen auf den Kopf. Kobalt und Nickel werden teils überflüssig, die Preise sind im freien Fall. Und was tut die Bundesregierung? Aussitzen, auf Gas setzen.
Antifeminismus eskaliert weiter: 640 dokumentierte Vorfälle in 2025 – mehr Gewalt, mehr Angriffe, mehr Einschüchterung. Was der Jahresbericht der Meldestelle Antifeminismus zeigt, ist ein organisierter Angriff auf Gleichstellung, queere Rechte und demokratische Zivilgesellschaft.

The conversion therapy “ban” is a framework to specify exactly how legal conversion can take place. It must have no exceptions. No ifs. No buts.
Paul Brand@paulbrand.bsky.social · last mo.NEW: The Archbishop of Canterbury states in this letter that she believes the government’s draft bill banning conversion therapy will still allow for “non-abusive” practices which attempt to change someone’s sexuality. This is the loophole campaigners like Jayne worried about.
Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

Die geplante Abschaffung des Informationsfreiheitsgesetz zeigt exemplarisch, dass die SPD-Spitze den autoritären Staatsumbau mitträgt. Und was ist mit den letzten echten Sozialdemokraten im Bundestag? Mein Kommentar @taz.de: taz.de/IFG-Reform-a...

Schwarz-Rot will das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz de facto abschaffen. Es ist der schwerste Angriff auf staatliche Transparenz in der Geschichte der BRD.

Human Rights is a radical concept precisely because universal fundamental rights for all is politically controversial. They protect the minority from the majority. If they’re politically popular they lose their purpose. Mary Ann Stephenson is undoubtedly part of the project seeking to destroy them.

In 2021 I did a 100km walk for Cancer Research and you all raised £20k. I will never ever forget that. I did it again in 2022, just for 'fun', and tomorrow I'm doing it again (although this time in my 40s). I'll post updates to this thread, so mute it if you don't care.
