I like how GraphQL essentially popularized the advantages of a CQRS (without Event Sourcing!) approach for your public API by explicitly giving you different DTOs for queries and mutations. It's a pretty neat way of enforcing this whil

It's not that hard. Instead of generating 70 end-to-end encrypted recordings of your meeting, you just generate 70 end-to-end encrypted packets with a shared symmetric key inside that allow you to decrypt the meeting encrypted with tha

Fun fact: ship scheduling in Rotterdam is a similar exercise in politics. I think the NextLogic centralized barge scheduling initiative started back in 2012 or so ( https://www.nextlogic.nl/en/ ) and is only running in p

Yeah, so this is mostly unenforceable. Dutch law prescribes that a non-compete can never block you from practicing your profession as a whole, so at most it can block you from working in a very specific, limited sector of the market (e.g. d

Imagine how bonkers this is if you consider that an app store is essentially a discovery mechanism much like a search engine is for the web. Google could say: 'If you want your website to be listed on our search engine you need to let

Fair point, you’re entirely right in that in other countries wearing a helmet can be much more important and indeed much more of that burden is placed on the individual. I looked into head injury statistics, but it seems like this isn’t pub

I understand your situation, but please also understand that per cycled kilometer, the Netherlands is a lot safer than any other country. There exists no country with as big of a modal share with bicycles, and our accident rates involving b

There is ~250 cycling related traffic deaths per year in the Netherlands. Some 60 of those are e-bike related. Normalized per capita that is well above the EU average, but you shouldn't forget that we cycle a lot in the Netherlands, wh

'Beyond a reasonable doubt' works because the system should generate doubts as well. There might be two theories that are equally likely, but if you only have facts to support theory one without even having thought of the other th

I would be very impressed if that was more accurate than turnaround time, but interesting approach, hadn’t thought of that. But I’m guessing that adjusting for bunkering is tricky since they might fuel up more in ports where fuel is cheaper

At my previous employer we had two people working on data analytics for container barge traffic within the Rhine delta in the Netherlands and Germany. They were able to overlay their predictions with the partial barge plannings that we actu

Looks very interesting, I've been playing with similar ideas, but everytime I come back to the thought of 'But somebody must have built this already'. I'm really curious to try a prototype of this, so I signed up to the

Good, that is already half the battle. Not jumping to the conclusion that the others must be incompetent can be more difficult than it sounds, and judging by your comment it looks like you have that down. Were you able to ask the devs direc

So at my previous employer we still had an old frontend running an atrociously old version of EmberJS. I run the build but it suddenly fails. We were on a three weekly release schedule, so I figure it must have happened somewhere in the pas

The biggest difference is that the class based components are an older iteration of the API into React, one that lies closer with how React internally works (or worked), but one that is not necessarily useful for writing correctly working c

Except that in tunnel boring the circumference is not that relevant, it's the surface area of the cross section of your tunnel. In the first instance that's 113.1 square feet, in the second it's 452.4. Every time the radius d

The history behind inland shipping is quite interesting. When the first container barges started to appear in the 70s, the minimum distance to make it viable against trucking was predicted to be 200km+. Nowadays, distances are short as 50km

Yeah, there is: speed. I work on software for inland cargo shipping, and the major factor there is speed and inflexibility of destinations. Trains, at least for cargo, are easily faster by a factor of two, if not faster. Going from the port
