Falling Down - movie analyzed

I love this movie. Have to watch it again

Postgres for everything

It is capable, I must admit.

Vintage kid

If he would not have been homeschooled this passion would have probably been bullied out of him. I wonder what he'll strive for.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
2B Model that amazes

The video that made me try and be fascinated by Gemma 4 e2b.

Klaus Kinski madness

How hard would he be cancelled today?

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Blender's compositor

Since a while it's realtime and really useful.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Heap vs stack

Dangling pointer explained.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Has the left taken too many left turns?

A comedic reflection.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Forbidden books

I have a new shopping list. :)

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Was there a civilisation before us?

And how would we find that out? It shows what all vanishes over time and puts our time on earth in perspective.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Hate and violence

Watching this it feels we turn a blind eye to the right-wing extremism that grows under the sugar-coated new german patriotism.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
AI in Blender process

Andrew Price shows how AI can actually help 3D artists and he has some great examples where currently time ist just wasted away for ideation and dialog.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Hackers at work

Penetration testing is not just about computer systems. The biggest flaw are unaware employees.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Methanol engine

The time gets closer when this becomes relevant and we just ignored it.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
The tricks of a DEMO

In the 90s on the Amiga.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Defining "Cult"

The moment you try to define it, you start looking around wondering whether you're already in one.

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
School 100 years ago

Female teachers couldn't marry? Children beaten with a cane? A dunce cap for misbehavior?

Youtube Preview/Vorschau
Insane reflexes against the right

In street interviews like these, the interviewer usually has the upper hand — they're prepared. The interviewee is often fed lines, hit with wild statistics, and expected to respond on the spot. This guy was genuinely impressive: he knew the right-wing playbook and countered every move in real time. Respect.
