The context is as following: We've hired an autistic developer. He was very open about it during his interviews and his technical knowledge seemed on par. He has been working for n…

I've gotta admit: hats off for this clever hack.

What else would be more important to maximize than happiness? Means of getting happiness are a different discussion, and what happiness is might differ from person to person. But w…

Redis has proven to be a very flexible to use and very easily to deploy piece of software. Muchos gracias.

Why not use Varnish? POST messages of 500 bytes could easily be rewritten / proxy'd to GET requests. That might not be 100% restfull but seems like a lot less work. On our producti…

Over here in the Netherlands, that is not true. The SP (Socialist Party) is on the left end of the political spectrum and is pretty anti EU.

I'm not opposing this idea, but I'm not sure it would have helped in the VW case. There were some people (engineers? Managers?) who were cheating and they knew that what they were …

Totally agree about the Mona Lisa, but I just needed an iconic piece of art that everybody knows ;)

You might want to see elephants in the wild, or the Mona Lisa or just go surfing or whatever. I really don't understand this mindset. Don't get me wrong: I like working. But the bo…

There are a lot of people outside of the US, and most of them aren't using either Bing nor Yahoo. Over here in europe, google is still king and I think that in Asia it's Baidu. I d…

How long can you go on claiming that a war is not "conventional"? The Vietnam war started 60 years ago. The US military still struggles with the same guerilla tactics as in 1955.

A 99 euro vacuum food saver will get you a long way in sending drugs worldwide. Combine that with some clever packaging and the chances of it getting caught at customs are pretty s…

That's not surprising. The Netherlands have a long history of producing quality XTC / MDMA and are one of the biggest XTC exporting countries worldwide. Furthermore, given the rela…

Why not? As a tourist in Holland, there is absolutely no reason to drive a car. If you go to Amsterdam, there are a lot of interesting cities within 45 minutes by train. Even Groni…

It works pretty well though. Giving 1 meter of clearance is just not possible in the very tight old city centers of the Netherlands, which also have a lot of biking traffic.

Do you have any experience working in a business that does a lot of international trade? My experience is that they convert to local currency ASAP.

As someone who is working for one of the travelling agencies who had people on board (and I'm 99% sure one of my previous employers also had customers on that aircraft), could we p…

As a Dutchie and a coffee addict, could you post the link?

And I'm missing fact #1: WTF is elementaryOS and why should I care?
