Insanity

Yeah and -7 this is probably something worth spending a bit more money on. I am at -8.5 and starting at -8 the government actually pays back more money and covered the complete cost of my glasses and …

Comparison: http://i.imgur.com/33y9izG.png It would seem like it has but not for all domains yet (google.be showed me the old font, .com the new one)…

Not sure how the experience is like as a CERN intern, but you can surely do internships there as a student: https://jobs.web.cern.ch/join-us/students -- If someone happens to hav…

This is one of those cases where I am slightly appalled by the violations of privacy, yet do kind of understand why they'd want to do this. But as other's have pointed out, these are not res…

Oh I was unaware of that, but the way I set when working is far from ergonomically good I fear. My diet was never just switching my drinks luckily! :-)

I would have had a similar list (decreasing order of confidence as well). Kant, Voltaire, Descartes, Heidegger, Kierkegaard. I don't think this is something people should necessarily know. Ask th…

I don't think I can agree with this list at all. Whatsapp on number one is kind of odd to me, I'd think Signal would take first place or at least a higher place than whatsapp. :-)

Anecdotal evidence here. Throughout my life I have been on diets various time, never because of extreme obesity but like a lot of people in IT, I do not get enough movement and over time gain weight. …

From the article: "Those ICRs in effect serve as a full list of every website that people have visited, rather than collecting which specific pages are visited or what's done on them." …

I think it is interesting that when interviewing someone they do not just focus on his job but also on the person himself. The developeronfire podcast is one that comes to mind that has this, which I …

Did not expect this comment but it made me smile :D +1 to that!

Just got married yesterday and went for the traditional thing. I am happy to read there is an alternative for diamond though, and if we have a gem put it, as is tradition for the birth of a child (fo…

You do not just have one choice to go with if you want to switch away from mac. If you do not like mac nor windows, maybe give Linux a shot? If you care about the mac UI you can make Linux look like i…

I am using the extension now as I am currently learning Spanish. The previous languages that I have learned I have learned through a formal education (English, French and German) but this is the first…

It was not very clear to me what the slider meant. Good thing that I read this comment section I guess. The slider 'on' means that the translation happens on all websites, whereas off it onl…

I did and I am happy that I have, I prefer the linux machines, though to be honest it does not matter all that much. The terminal is great (on both system) and most of what I do I can do from within m…

It depends a lot on yourself. Math is really like a sport, I was doing it each and every day as part of a Physics/Mathematics major. Whereas in the same class that I was in, many people passed ca…

At the start of the article they do state that you might need javascript. The point was to show off things you can do without javascript, not say that you never need it.

Wouldn't want to be working in that division right now. I'm assuming they'll try to sprint asap to a follow-up or a replacement. The longer they wait, the more they lose to other vendor…

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying that to me :-)

I love typing and keyboards. I own quite a few of them (use them for some time and then give them a place in my office). The most expensive I have gone is 260 euros. The stretch to 330 usd (which will…

"that kind of privacy". So which 'kind' of privacy does it try to improve on? I've been thinking of switching to a different application for messaging and Signal came by a fe…

Being Belgian, I did the same! But the project does look useful :-) The OP is Belgian as well and he has a Trivia section where he does explain what it means in Dutch to the Dutch/Belgians

Thank you for this, it was an interesting read. I did not know of him until some days ago, close to his death but I am going to check out some of his presentations. May he RIP.

Watching those GIFs actually has something soothing/relaxing about it. It is actually quite a beautiful technique. For those who've missed it, his twitter account (which has more gifs): htt…

Maybe they are slowly trying to make their way into the weapons industry :D
