In the Netherlands they use driving axle load systems usually in the right most lanes on the highway that feature trucks. There is also a service that automatically calculates the tire pressure and sends a message to the company if the tires are deflated when driving over these weigh points.

My Kriega R30 backpack has that, its not that great for walking in my opinion but i can wear it all day on the motorcycle (that's what its made for), off the bike i usually have my pants and jacket and helmet hooked on the top of it so its very overweight.

I had great succes with TIKA and just OCR when finding to much many high unicode vs normal characters.

At my last job we hosted both Maven and NPM repo in Sonatype Nexus. I think artifactory could do this too i think.

So you mean an temping agency? Those usually work with 0 hour contracts while people are on call and rented out.

On a side note most of these systems use YAML and as a dyslexic i really have a hard time spotting indenting issues and issues where i should have been using lists. Getting an ide with support for it doesn't make it better.

Isn't it the other way around? The 76 Oryx is a rebaged Clevo BTO laptop?

I heard it happens sometimes with intermediates for contractors too. A contractor friend gave the following advice.

Take a copy of your resume with you, the real one and go to your first meeting alone. Get them to talk about their stuff before handling your cv, act interested ask follow up questions and push on it. Then when it comes to your CV act surprised when they talk about stuff you didn't do. Tell them you have your cv as given to the intermediary and compare notes. Tell them you are disappointed with wasting their time but that the job looked really interesting. Most times the company is happy to find out their intermediary is shit and sometimes offers to take you on on trail basis.

Time to abolish copyright then :)

Don't give too much notice. My contract had rachet in that ratchets up more months the longer you are at job. Instead of the 1 month notice that is normal in the Netherlands I had to give two. I was already burning out / unmotivated and that was reason to leave. Having to work on dead end projects instead of what you were working on for last 2 months was terrible.

Is shittier than you think. We have certificates that are shittier shares that have harsh rules. Like you can only buy or sell in one month a year, unless you get fired the company has to buy them back for the last going rate.

It was nice when people could buy in for cents. A lot of long timers have quite a nice chunk of change that they can't get rid of because there are no people wanting to buy at close to 50 bucks a certificate. You are also required to have certain amount of shares if you want to get into management. And the CEO owns most of it anyway.

We did a lot with jstd and used doors succesfully https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/rational-doors

So no privacy is a feature now :|

Not to shit on your nice story :) but much what we know is either wrong or incomplete about archery.

Lars Anderson made a nice series of videos on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk

I had the bug with the disk encryption screen on my xp13 as well. Removing the splash screen and just having a terminal helped it boot normaly. Something along the lines of this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/854388/ubuntu-16-04-cannot-e...

Niet gelukt om de link toe te voegen zo te zien :).

The computerphile episode on this makes it quite clear as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GazC3A4OQTE

There might be a few reasons.

The population is aging. People less opportunity to work for wage that can support the price especially if its anything like the Netherlands, paying to much to go from a place you don't want to be to a place you don't want to be either sucks. Even with traffic jams public transport can't compete unless you like torture.

Might just be the people who were key riders just aged or fell out of income bracket that can use it.

I ride a motorcycle year round instead of using 2 different public transport vehicles and walking that makes my journey 55 minutes instead 20 at a good time of day.

Costs me nearly nothing in fuel, no parking cost while the public transport is up to 10 euros a day.

Cool, I have been playing with Elixir over the last few weeks! It seems really interesting but I know elixir might not be the right application for it but I was wondering if anyone would have a good strategy for making a CLI application handling (non blocking) user keyboard input, not using the IEX.

Does it still have coil whine? If so are you going to work in a quiet room a lot? I have an xps13 and ended up getting noise canceling headphones because its annoying.

Did you try and drag it into fictiv to see what they would qoute you for making it :)?

This seems all nice to have but what I really miss is the software engineering side integration into the whole development side. You should have the software engineering people who make J-STD-016 or similar traced requirement, design, test and deployment documentation all the way into the code. Heck sometimes generating code & tests from documentation is really valuable in a large system.

Now we get around this by making Jira tickets and hanging jira tickets in change requests and change requests have documentation changes but really i would like to pull up any piece of code and read all the requirements and the design decisions that are made on it.

Is something we miss (30 man year sized project, with 3 full time engineers, both software engineering and coding) and is more of an imitate problem once the software becomes to complex to hold into an engineers head (i try ;)).

For your information its still the number one communication platform for inland shipping in the Netherlands :) Since the coverage of terrestrial tv requires the first three public channels to be accessible for free any one can get this information using DVB-T receiver and read it. The coverage is quite a bit better than 4G as well.

Plus we have a smartphone app and website to view it on too :). http://nos.nl/teletekst#721 -> Notice to skipper information.

i am sure you could have a dell reseller order it for you at some mark up.

While i would really like Linked in dead I would rather like to replace it with something more useful.

I think another good alternative would be to introduce money as a way to connect people. To connect people just pay them to accept you but only allow the flow of money one way. If you know the person you you really wouldn't mind the inconvenience of paying some lunch money and getting it back IRL or via a different service later. Physical connections could be made for free when people are in same location and make phones mate with each other or something. For recruiting this could work as well. If i am really that interested to a recruiter he wouldn't mind paying the equivalent the time it takes to look at it seriously for me to look at his offer. And if his offer was good and a real job hey i might pay him back. If it was just a grab for my CV then tough luck you lost your investment. The website hoster / owner would take his cut from all these transactions.

Additionally it would be nice if you could grant selective information rights to individuals, say you could share your CV with someone while not sharing it with the world. And you could set this up per user. Essentially storing an PKI encrypted copy of a CV / profile for another user that you could revoke.

A great addition to this is Dan Bell's dead mall series.

See what happened to most of these places years later :)

The University of Twente SDR is pretty neat too: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

Usually the fuel usage is very low per hour if parked. The advantage of having the engine running are heating or airconditioning and sometimes the fancy media system that might go into low power / radio only mode when the engine is off.

Interesting to see that the Randstad area i live in ( Zoetermeer) is one of the biggest hotspots. We have a lot of greenhouse farming around here where they take the CO2 from the petrochemical plants in Rotterdam harbour, pipe them in the greenhouses and run lights during the night to make the plants and flowers grow as fast as possible.

When my English friend came over he was amazed at how light it was out here, i had to tell him i hadn't seen stars at night ever when i was out at night around this area.
