Parser combinators in #Haskell are like the cool kids at school 🎓, effortlessly solving Advent of Code problems while #regexes are stuck in detention 🚫. Who knew regexes were still a thing in 2025? 😂 In Haskell, we leave those relics to flounder in the past while we flex our combinator muscles 💪.

12 is still the number of songs on most albums - a technical limitation from the vinyl era that still defines today. The energy world too is still very much shaped by legacy. 12 is also the number of ACER's recommendations for removing barriers to demand response. Some reflections:

This number was then transferred to the CD age. As we have moved into the streaming age over the last two decades, albums are still mostly released with 12 songs. It shows how legacy technology still shapes today's world. Many mechanisms and rules still perpetuate an energy world where supply follows demand, rather than unleashing the full potential of demand-side flexibility. To stick with the record analogy, we could have fully customisable playlists of songs that dynamically adjust, but instead we are stuck with the choices and musical tastes of whoever is controlling the record player. 12 is also the magic number of recommendations in EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)'s report on barriers to demand response, released today. These are actions that national policymakers and regulators should take. Together, these 'demand-side dozen' will bring energy systems into the new era. They need to ensure that new players can operate in all markets, that distributed energy resources can collectively be used as a powerful replacement for old-era large-scale fossil resources, and that granular price signals from energy markets and the (local) grid can be used to optimise consumer flexibility. These enable a wide range of offerings from energy suppliers and new smart energy players, as my recent European survey shows (link in comments). As my colleague Bram Claeys points out in his post, there should be an important 'bonus track', with regulators and policymakers paying particular attention to low-income and vulnerable consumers. Not flexibility that is forced or doesn't meet households' energy and comfort needs, but ways to build a bridge to flexibility by designing low-risk and upside-only retail offers. The combination of removing barriers, market creativity by existing and welcoming new players, making smart energy the default (but not forced) and a focus on different consumer groups is creating a Europe-wide landscape of flexibility in which everyone can participate and benefit. The report is well worth reading - I also appreciate the highly visual nature of the report, showing the challenges and diversity across Europe. But let's also make sure that we don't play off the grooves here, and instead turn the recommendations into action.

Grateful for meeting lovely Daniela for the ballet photography at Central Park New York during the YAGP finals. I'm highly impressed by her elegance, grace and lines. A lot of fun shooting with such a great dancer.
