Ik ga proberen de politiek een tijd naast me neer te leggen

Na de zwaar teleurstellende uitslag van gisteravond zakt mijn vertrouwen zowel in de NL politiek als in de mede burger

Ik ben klaar met praten en schreeuwen tegen muren die alleen maar naar zichzelf luisteren 👌🏻

Tijd om te focussen op iets dat voor mij wel zin heeft: code!

Zoek het maar lekker uit in Den Haag :nkoWave: im ouuuut

@stux Snap her helemaal, ga zelf min of meer hetzelfde doen. Wel nog lokaal af en toe naar een fractie vergadering.

Job hunting is quite like online dating - you matched, went to a single date together and they ether ghost you or you get into a toxic relationship with each other because you both lied in your bio.

@mayaisloading Maybe you know someone with a nice ex, even better if you can share. And big companies have public reviews about how it's really there.

It took almost 5 years, but it's at 100k downloads now. What is it? A small library to use schema registries with Rust in a Java compatible way.

"The electric bicycle is a game-changer, much more significant than the overhyped, expensive and insufficiently green e-car: global sales of e-bikes are projected to reach 40 million next year, compared to 9 million for electric vehicles. Globally, most trips are less than 10 kilometres, which e-bikes can cover within half an hour."

@simon_brooke At least in the Netherlands, it's often instead of a normal bike, with no additional use of the bike. So it's both bad for the environment, and for getting enough exercise.

    @mollyquell @holly It's pretty insane if you ask me. Only one of the four cabinets finished the four years. While the Prime Minister should be the one keeping them together.

    I also suspect there are a lot of other reasons they let the cabinet fall.

    I just read this fab article (and subscribed !) on Japanese convenience stores and you should too. It's great.

    One of the most wonderful things about visiting Japan is realizing how things that normally suck (especially in the states) can, with a little work be brilliant. Vending machines, toilets, and kombini (convenience stores) being just three of those things.

    @privacat one of the most amazing things was finding out, if you buy a car, you need some place to put it. So no cars on the street.

    If we priced externalities into the cost of fossil fuels, it’s not a profitable business.

    The cleanup costs in California will be triple the industry’s projected profits, and that doesn’t even include cleaning up CO₂ and CH₄ from the atmosphere.

    @Npars01 @tshirtman @davidho They also get money to transition to greener things. Like generating hydrogen from electricity, why? Because they can get away with it. Not because they need to.

    This whole NICU parent thing has filled me with a million takes—many of which are probably wrong—but one that is really blowing my mind is:

    If the climate movement really wants to get serious about a sustainable society, we need a damn good answer on replacements for medical grade plastics. Modern medicine simply cannot exist at this moment without petrochemicals.

    gklijs,
    @gklijs@hachyderm.io avatar

    @mttaggart @Npars01 @justafrog That's fine, but we're still globally at a point we keep using more fossil fuels. So we won't run out of oil to make plastics soon. There will be lots of challenges moving towards near 100% renewables. Currently we still struggle to convince everyone we eventually need to move there.

    [Geek-only:] If someone managed to quietly pwn Dependabot, they could pretty well take over the world in a matter of weeks, amirite? Every time I “review” a Dependabot PR, in the back of my mind there’s a voice saying “I guess I can assume this is all right…”

    @timbray yes, we even auto merge them now, if the build succeeds. Luckily maven is well protected. But still, a bad upgrade could spread fast..

    Interessante info op https://www.vreg.be/nl/wat-zijn-de-nieuwe-nettarieven-en-hoe-worden-ze-berekend:

    " Uw elektrische auto opladen én wassen én bakken in de oven op hetzelfde moment is dus niet zo’n goed idee. "

    Helemaal mee eens! Sterker nog, uw elektrische auto bakken in de oven is eigenlijk NOOIT een goed idee!

    @gklijs@hachyderm.io avatar

    @johanvos We desperately need something like that in the Netherlands. Just watched Pointer about how our infrastructure doesn't suffice. Schools and companies have to wait up to 10 years to get more power. Delaying moving to more sustainable solutions.

    Just got laid off by Shopify. wondering if anyone needs an experienced frontend developer?

    @huijing Maybe, fully remote, what frameworks are you most familiar with?

    What's some Kafka configuration that confused you at first? and how did that confusion affect your config strategy?

    gklijs,
    @gklijs@hachyderm.io avatar

    @Cerchie I had some weird difference with latency comparing different solutions. It turned out the producer's linger.ms setting has a default, of 0, but Kafka Streams set it to 100, by default. It took some time to conclude this was causing the weird difference.

    "NPO vraagt de minister de vergunning in te trekken voor Ongehoord Nederland" :blobcheerwitch:

    Krijg ik toch nog wat ik wil! :blobcathighfive:

    Zoals al vaker gezegd, het is een achterlijk roddel programma waarin ze mensen alleen maar tegen elkaar op zetten.

    @MetGitarenEnZo @stux Ze hebben genoeg abbonees. Maar misschien dat het benodigde aantal omhoog moet. Ik ben het zeker niet met ze eens. Maar alleen al als het een beetje lijkt op het beperken van de vrijheid van dat soort ideeën, kan het juist voor verdere verdeling zorgen.

    @MetGitarenEnZo @stux De regels op YouTube zijn een stuk strenger.

    gklijs,
    @gklijs@hachyderm.io avatar

    @MetGitarenEnZo @stux Wat dan wel? Ik zie het vooral als een probleem, omdat dat weer als voorbeeld gebruikt gaat worden dat ze 'onderdrukt' worden. Of erger nog, dat mensen dingen gaan roepen als dat ze juist gelijk hebben, en het daardoor gestopt worden.

    Wat dan wel een goede oplossing is weet ik niet. We worden aan alle kanten misleid. Zodra je eenmaal een 'verkeerde' richting in bent geslagen, lijkt het lastig terug te komen.

    Misschien maar eens beginnen met onderwijs en zorg..
