Insanity

I am not sure what to make of the whole universe-is-a-simulation argument. The problem is that, this is as far as I know, not an hypothesis we could ever hope to prove. Not any more than we can proof…

As for me, I can't log in to my Skype account at all

This is really cool of github. I'm impressed with this and can imagine this makes them look more attractive for future employees!

> C has it too, especially on devices with > 32kb memory. Can I assume you mean, devices with < 32kb memory? Or is there another language you would use on devices with such as small amount o…

Same story here, as computer science students we got a hefty dose of mathematics, and was in some respects close to what students of physics and mathematics got. For example, when compsci students get…

One of my close friends studied in the UK. University of bedfordshire, which was also a computer science degree. Compared to me (Belgian university), he indeed barely got any mathematics, but I alway…

I think that if you have just passed your undergrad degree, these questions are indeed not _that_ hard, because the stuff is still quite fresh in your mind. If you have left university for some time, …

Dutch as well "verkoudheid" (koud) is cold

I fear you are right in this. In my experience, the people who did it out of passion or interest where unfortunately the minority.

As for your second point, I don't fully agree with that one. I think that credentials and requirements are indeed wanted by many students, but not by all of them. If you already have a degree fro…

And I might add, the book is worth reading!

Struck me as odd as well!

Thank you for pointing that out, that of course had to be _younger_ than him :-)

It probably is. But, given a reason as "not being a good cultural fit" does not have to describe that it is about age I presume. I guess that you can always make up some kind of excuse othe…

Live, studied, and currently work in Leuven :-)

I am wondering why it seems like you were downvoted? You expressed your opinion and to me, you made a fair point.

I'm from a similar country (Belgium) but have seen both sides of it, both where age is an advantage as well as a negative factor. At a startup I worked at, we were considering hiring a developer …

Oh yeah, that makes a lot more sense doesn't it! ^^

I can't say if this is a serious answer or not.. But either way it does hold something potentially valuable. Show a numpad and have a "connect the numbers" passphrase, just like you dra…

I would have enjoyed the article a tad more without the sleeping mask ad being pushed in.

Interesting coincidence. Just today I was thinking about when AI would be able to generate music for in Clubs (which are mixes of other songs / sound-effects). I wonder how this will turn out. I …

Hehe, I have heard that before, but I have actually not seen any gameplay of that :-)

There are many good things mentioned here already, and I would like to add one that might not seem that obvious at first. Teaching. I once read a book (about C#) that had the following line in it: &qu…

I agree with this pretty much, though a good posture is often not really present with using a computer either. Still better than the hunched posture, but you should pay attention to the ergonomics the…

Yup :D

It is something I sometimes want to do, but find hard to justify. First of all, when I played, it was competitively and I found it hard to get fun out of just playing casually. In fact, I have quite a…

Oh thanks for pointing that out, I missed that :-)

Since I stopped gaming, I stopped following the high-end market. However, it is nice to see that AMD is trying to get in there again, some competition is good for the market in general. If AMD can del…
