My anecdote: 1. Tell students that the remote exam is open book. Everything is allowed EXCEPT for any communication between students. Moreover, there is a Zoom breakout room for discussing specific questions with ME. 2. Exam starts. 3. Stud

I had a complete loss of my sense of smell, which I first noticed when I put my nose into a bottle of softener and smelled nothing. The first scents like parfume came back after two weeks. Real stench was away for months and came back with

That is a common strategy for phone providers too: Keep old customers in old and expensive call rates and compete for new customers with cheaper ones. Providers even store a "sleeper score" in customer data. The higher that score

Arrghh... This week was the first in years where I didn't FOMO. And here comes Nest.js. I desperately need an ad blocker though for shiny new tech thingies.

If you want to take that to the next level, accidently address an email to yourself and then complain that the "response" is all but helpful. I mean... that could happen... hypothetically... to... someone.

From RFC4122: "A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both space and time, with respect to the space of all UUIDs." Hard to achieve if everyone starts from 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

I think of pigenonholing as a cognitive heuristic that spares you to involve your "system two" [1] when dealing with or talking about other people. It is a heuristic insofar as peoples' behaviour is more like a continuous spe

My most romantic memories go back to that fax machine that called me at 3 a.m. every f*** night (without revealing its number). I was almost about to learn its hiss language just to end this.

Considering these questions, have you honestly answered "yes" to the last one?

I fully agree. During my own studies of computer science the common excuse / pretext for not lecturing such useful things was that tools get outdated quickly. Now that I am back again in university (of Applied Sciences) as a lecturer,

Basic queuing theory: If you want to maximize the utilization (~ efficiency) u of a resource (e.g. CPU or cashiers), waiting times for jobs (e.g. processes or customers) that compete for it grow by t / (1-u), where t is the average pro

AFAIR TOGAF is closed source and focuses more on (enterprise) architecture lifecycle management. ISABOK claims to be compatible with TOGAF [0] whatever that means for mere prose. [0] https://itabok.iasaglobal.org/itabok3_0&#
