Maybe. But it's also time to compete and current headlines are not working. If the public opinion is that it's far less effective then the other 2, what is happening now, you are putting the politicians in a difficult position tha

The press release is interesting. Not the best way to present their data. Immediate conclusion of many newspapers is "oxford vaccine is less effective then...".

You can get an extensive screening for around 120 here in Amsterdam. Probably more expensive if I go through official doctor and have to pay it with eigen risico (first few 100 euros of healthcare you pay yourself).

I always wondered why we are overly focused on the conditions that created life on earth. Arguably it makes sense to see similar conditions lead to life. But do we really know enough to assume that's only way?

Some of them were indeed clueless. But also a bunch of them were great developers. I remember one who came from Flash and easily adopted the react.js SPA mindset without really understanding HTML/dom. For him almost never was it a prac

Agreed. I've worked with quiete a bunch of frontend developers on react applications (with serverside rendering) who didn't realise that in the end all it does is render HTML pages. And didn't have any or much experience with

To not need many custom helper functions like this I still prefer to throw in jQuery for "small" more serverside oriented projects. It gives a well documented and standardized API.

Spending a lot of time with Tibetan Buddhism it led me to conclude our Western view on human rights is very very special and not natural at all. We should really cherish it. It is probably, and often, tied to the evolution of Christianity a

Thanks, still curious about data management, vendor lock in, what to do when complexity grows etc. Im sure they have all been thought off, will look into it.

That's not the main pitch, that's the standard dynamic cloud/container hosting claim, this is their pitch: "Software is eating the world. Unfortunately, most businesses still can't deliver software successfully, muc

Maybe I should dive more into it, but everytime I read a project that claims to be "serverless" I have a really hard time to understand what it actually does or solves. What is serverless about? Is it the next big thing? Or just t

The idea of bullshit jobs started a few years ago mostly based upon the idea that the people doing themselves felt like they were doing bullshit jobs, and therefore not feeling fullfilled.

Certain type of humans have been exploring since beginning of times, thinking of the vikings, but also the colonial times. But also the early tribes that moved over the whole world. Seems to be a an innate trait for some people, to go out

Yes I think the not feeling attacked part is a responsibility of both parties. And therefore sometimes unavoidable.

by toshk 6y ago
Not in my experience. The devs in teams I've worked with (including me) are most of time all quiete aware of the places where their code en setup is lacking and as long as they don't feel personally attacked are very happy with pe

Maybe we don't have to move certain things, like "design", into the area of technology :). Frontenders at the the time didn't see themselves as engineers.

Some people just get development. I had one close person who was able to learn webdev and become and highly skilled freelance developer in 0.5 to 1.5 year (having played with computers his whole life), I had another friend who after 3 to 4

I've seen few organisations where there was a group of frontenders specialised in html/css. Even integrated in continious development. It's a fine line, but with backbone.js and sass they could manage, but with react and post

At the same time "startups" are also not able to reach any of the tangible results musk is producing. He seems to be able to benefit from the resources of a big company, while at the same time keep the fresh mindset of a relativel

I meant more in the sense that different people could do different jobs. Non-developers/designers were able to do a lot of the frontend stuff. With the "new" complexity of frontend development that's mostly gone. I'

The downside to that is that I've seen a lot of old school frontenders who 5-7 years ago were able to just dus html/css and sass haven't been able to keep up, it just got too complex. In that regard the old situation had bett

Incredible. Also Tesla seems to be extremely focused on r&d. How does Elon Musk push and run his organisations so differently that he seems to be one of the only few, if not only one, capable of running big organisations that are able t

Im surprised with how much certainty you make such a claim. Next to that it's not only the side effect of extinction of one species, but also the unforeseen side effects of the technologies used to accomplish this (extreme) extinction.

Thinking of ways to reduce mosquitos populations are understandable, and many organisations are working on them, but this proposition to completely eradicate them, mainly with certain technologies, is borderline insanity. The problems eradi

PRC's influence is shocking. I remember that some Taiwanese officials attended a conference in Amsterdam called "we make the city" and even local neighbourhood politicians were not allowed to officially meet them, let alone
