In The Netherlands I think it's pretty rare to require Dutch in IT related jobs. I know of one software company that recently initiated a policy of only hiring Dutch speakers and I suspect it will really hurt their hiring going forward

> That feels... excessive. And weird. And kind of unfair. Now you know my paycheck, and the paycheck before that, and how desperate I am. Well, there goes negotiations. I think that's partly the point.

I discovered this game through Ultimus Rex's Youtube channel. I recommend watching him play a couple times before diving in. https://www.youtube.com/@ultimus_rex40

Perhaps the fundamental issue is your ignorance? Don't you know that users require tools that just work and that they should not be required to understand all of this technical nuance?

Companies exist in jurisdictions. Jurisdictions have laws. Companies have to follow those laws.

The Dutch government literally put out an RFP for 'Microsoft Outlook licenses'. Not mail clients, not email services, but a specific company's product. In an RFP.

My main gripe about certbot is that it requires a plugin to essentially send a SIGHUP to apache/nginx/etc. Openbsd acme-client got this right and left that functionality out of itself.

This is an interesting experiment, but I have my doubts about its effectiveness. I hope someone is tracking how well this works and we get some good research out of it. I'm much more interested in any research paper that comes from thi

Check the errata for RFC 7788. .home being listed in it is a mistake. .home has never been designated for this purpose. home.arpa is for HNCP. Use .internal.

I always find it sad when racist Americans can only imagine their own country's decline by comparing it to those countries they persecute.

People are getting downvoted for criticizing booking.com. They're a shit company and everyone who works in tech in The Netherlands knows it.

$2 trillion to develop something that can't even dependably fly and the Pentagon can't even pass an audit. What a joke.

People need to stop using .local or .dev for stuff like this. .dev is an actual TLD in the root zone and .local is for multicast DNS. ICANN has said they will never delegate .internal and it should be used for these kinds of private uses. I

Am I supposed to have sympathy for people who bought a home snooping device now realizing they're going to be snooped on?

90% of the features on my iPhone are not interesting to me. Worse yet, everytime Apple pushes a new feature they enable it by default on the next upgrade. Here's a radical thought. "Every feature in a piece of software that I don&

Maybe the kid of some ASML exec gets to go to Harvard? Who knows. In the last batch of negotiations they never made the deal public. These deals get made by elites and the public never learns the details.

As someone who lives in The Netherlands I basically just don't understand anything about traffic/pedestrian engineering in the USA. I travel to the USA quite frequently and I never quite know what the rules are as a pedestrian. I&

In the 1890's the Dutch transported thousands of Chinese workers to Rotterdam to break a union strike of dock workers. Some things never change.

This article claims that these big companies no longer respect robots.txt. That to me is the big problem. Back when I used to work with the Google Search Appliance it was impossible to ignore robots.txt. Since when have big known companies

The people involved in this have all the reason to blame China or Chinese backed groups for this, but has there been any actual evidence released that confirms this? Attribution is notoriously difficult and the only thing the public has to

It's interesting to me that some people really see fast-delivery as an important feature of e-commerce. In the 20+ years I've been buying stuff online I think maybe less than 5% of the time I have cared about how fast I get someth

Sounds like The Netherlands. Hypocrisy. White supremacy. Living off of the image of a before time. Corrupt yet not willing to admit it. Blaming everything on immigrants. I live in NL and a lot of what you say about Sweden sounds very simila
