In the company I work for the GPL is classified as high risk by legal. MIT and BSD style licenses are preferred because they don't have the viral effect that the GPL has.

The first thing I install on every fresh desktop OS...

Also went looking for an alternative and moved everyting to mailbox.org...

Some people around me are wine enthusiasts. I once put a label from an expensive wine on a cheap bottle of wine. That was a fun little experiment that works with switches as well..…

To me material implication makes much more sense in the context of three-valued logic where you can also have 'null' values. Don't think they will accept that when I have do my exa…

Next to my daytime job as a data engineer I'm doing some basic computer science courses. Currently I'm studying a book on logic. According to the truth table for material implicati…

Really curious what those places are. Because for me it's the other way around. I live in a Dutch city where you can get around easily by walking, biking or public transport. And f…

I can relate. Even though I own a smart phone, I've turned off all notifications and sounds that can distract me except for incoming calls. Never used Facebook. Don't want a car.

Booking.com is the only big website I know that still uses Perl...

I always have great success doing anomaly detection with basic standard deviation in some SQL queries...

Dutch police actually trained eagles to do this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00szWWrTNnE

My guess would be that it's the fate of all publicly listed companies. They tend to focus on short term shareholder value. A lot of family owned companies focus more on the long te…

We use Kafka a lot within the company I work for. I think it's great. The only thing I miss is fast lookups based on some key and/or the ability for subscribers to only receive mes…

Maybe a bit off topic, but is Mixmaster/Mixminion still a viable option? I can still remember playing around with Mixmaster many years ago but mail delivery was not 100% reliable.

I'm no expert but I also lean toward superdeterminism. It's either that or the universe is not deterministic at all. Believing that the universe is only partly deterministic is the…

Unless you could build a classical computer on the Planck scale.

Does Mattermost still have LDAP issues? The company I work for was looking for a Slack alternative but in the end decided to stick with Slack because of this.

In college they taught me that every line of code should do one thing and one thing only. So doing both a test and an assignment on one line would not be prefered over the first ex…

Maybe a bit off topic, but i've always wondered why most physicists dismiss the possibility of superdeterminism to escape Bell's theorem. Are there any physicists here who would li…

Employees definitely deserve a bigger piece of the pie. Their share of company profits has been decreasing for decades.

Did you know bonsai trees live longer then they would have in their natural environment? Does knowledge of this change the equation?

What I would like is a browser plugin/extension that jails every website in it's own cookie space. That way websites(and all trackers on that website) can only read their own cooki…

It seems to be inevitable that the "scummy" ones finish first. Deskop Linux could have been more popular than Windows, GIMP more popular than Photoshop and Signal more popular than…

If you sell your soul to the devil don't be surprised he comes to collect it...
