I did get a number of pages during those times. This was in port of rotterdam which is basically always busy, little bit less on holidays but still. There is that sort of special vibe with the other people working though. Same as an overnig

I’ve had plenty of on-call shifts at Christmas and New Year’s Eve and it’s always a special time somehow. High five to all of you at work today!

Typically people separate protobuf messages by a length value of the next message. Perhaps that’s what they did. Also protobuf can contain embedded messages or even just the binary representation of a list of embedded messages.

You’re welcome. If you want to see how it works you can check the code on github and the relevant unit tests

The tags and wire types are encoded in the payload. For each tag you can determine how many bytes are used either because it’s a fixed size data type (float, double), length-delimited (strings, embedded messages) that include the byte size

Hi HN! If you've ever had to communicate with an application that speaks Protobuf but you don't have the message specifications it can be a real pain to understand what is going over the wire. The protoc CLI tool is able to help y

This seems to have some more clues: https://www.liquisearch.com/voyager_program/telemetry Although searching for the formats mostly yields copies of the same text on different websites

You’re not alone, I use the 4K monitor on my laptop exclusively and it works just fine. More space for me just means I keep to much stuff open anyway

I’m over 2m tall (2.08m / 6’10) and I once almost broke the nose of one of my friends with my shoulder trying to give him a hug.. Needless to say I’m a lot more careful now

The lane closure (or rather: repurposing) now provides fast access for emergency vehicles. Given that most of the roads they’ve made these changes on are the direct route to the university hospital it’s a good outcome.

I live in Rotterdam and don’t drive my car in the city anymore, only to go out of the city. We’ve had quite a few changes with reduction in lanes (2 to 1) to allow less traffic in to reduce the air pollution and by doing that bike lanes go

Last year there was a guy in Rotterdam who moved there and decided to get to know the city better… by running through every street! I’ve met the guy once when I was out running myself and pretty much the only thing he used was a small pocke

It super frustrating to have to go on a treasure hunt just to find some options there. To this day, every time I need to uninstall an application I still do: win+R -> control appwiz.cpl -> enter and it brings me to the place I want to

There is indeed the “welstandscommissie”, no clue how to translate that. It’s meant to keep everything looking “nice and neat”. Depends a lot on what city/village it is but basically I think they try to avoid people painting their hou

In the Netherlands we have somewhat similar arrangement in appartement buildings. Even the name is (translated) the same and operates like the described condo HOA from the article. It’s annoying as fuck. We want to put up sun screens as o

True, only reason I mentioned it was that if it was still in warranty I’d have sent it back for repairs instead

Fair enough but nothing on the machine or labels inside it or the manual mention that. However later I found out that the parts are Saeco branded which did not help my search for them

A few weeks ago my Philips coffee machine broke down. It just stopped when I pressed the button for a coffee and went into error mode. It turned out that despite my google-fu there isn’t a published repair manual to be found, Philips does n

I worked at a large online retailer in NL that got told they needed to change their delivery promise because that’s not a promise you can actually keep. So it does happen, but probably not often enough.

My approach has always been to create a separate dll (written in C++) that wraps all the complicated stuff and has only a few calling points exposed which were P/Invoked from the C# side. Haven’t had to do much of this but that defini

Thanks for creating this! I’ve been using it for some (really amateur) game design and found it incredibly helpful.
