Insanity

Thank you for the recommendation, I will surely check that one out! And you got a nice score, congratz! A more expensive keyboard does not make you type better in my opinion, but it does improve the c…

This test is a bit..silly to me. I am an enthusiast of mechanical keyboards, own a few, and have enjoyed typing for as long as I can remember. On top of that, I can type quite fast - depending on whic…

If only you could have a small device in your pocket that can take pictures! :-)

Well true, you have a choice in everything. But given the constraint that I want to see the movie on release, my choices are more limited.

This is one of the reasons why I do love the system here in Belgium. I studied at a university which is at the moment number 40 in the world university rankings ( https://www.timeshighereduc…

No not quite. The thing is that they have a normal mix of 2D and 3D showings but not on the release day. So the issue is of wanting to see it the first day. So they have the normal division of prices …

Actually yes. As a commenter above me hinted at, you would if it was the only option you had. I had to see ep 7 in 3d because there was no 2d showing on release day.. But I'd rather pay a bit mor…

It looks interesting but I have not played it yet. Congratulations though on finishing your sideproject! :-)

I was really amused by the logos / names in the word clouds. Nice project!

Important distinction, +1 for linking to the wikipedia articles!

Well about the ones you have said in specific, AI/VR, I do not think they will be a requirement for the majority of jobs in the software industry for quite some time. I believe that even though t…

I'm really curious as to the outcome around this. The idea that a new planet in our solar system is discovered in our lifetime is exciting to me for some reason. I can't even really explain …

We have a similar situation here in Belgium in terms of blocking the pirating websites. I can not just access tpb as I get a warning that the site is "illegal" and I should not use it. The t…

This is really interesting to read! Also quite surprised by some of the statistics, I had no clue Flickr still saw this much activity.

So my guess for 720p was quite a good one then! That's quite annoying though for people who actually care about watching netflix in high quality. Can't imagine why this is done.

The video quality was not that bad to be honest in the browser. (Ubuntu, Chrome) but I could not run it on Chromium without enabling other plugins which I did not want to do. I was running it on a low…

Looks interesting, but in the comments here I found out that it is similar to other software that already exists. I'm happy with my 90s like setup. Films and series in a folder, VLC to play them.…

Good point! There is of course a difference between just studying for an exam and retaining the information long enough to pass the test, and actually retaining the information for a longer period an…

I can confirm that it works on Chromium with this test file: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/feature-deta... …

That might depend on the person doing the interview, and perhaps how you put it on your CV. If you list some hobbies on your CV, and you put something akin to "Maintaining youtube channel" o…

We had a course dedicated to design patterns in the third semester, a second course on them in the fourth semester, and in semester 6 you could optionally take another course on them. On top of that, …

> Mid-level engineers who recently discovered software design patterns tend to fall into this category. A mid-level engineer who only just discovered Design Patterns. So, a first or second year uni…

Looked around the blog and there are some interesting posts to be found there. What I did not immediatly find was "Why Google?" Why not Microsoft, Facebook, or another big company?

All laptops at home are running ubuntu, and so is my desktop. For me it was seemingly the opposite to the experience of many people here. I had no issues whatsoever with the laptops, everything worked…

Was fun to watch for like a minute

The location is just 20 minutes away from where I live now so it would almost be silly not to go. :-)

The tracking of users, mostly related around privacy concerns.

No, I'm on Ubuntu.

You can always consider using Chromium if you want "the best of both worlds". You'd protect your students' privacy, which for them can be a valuable lesson. Furthermore you can int…

I'm running Chromium instead of Chrome. I like to think of it as Chrome without the bad parts, even though google has influence in the Chromium project. The main reason I would not switch to Fire…
