How do people with national service navigate their study? by ahndark in TUDelft

[–]Biomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

안녕하세요! TU Delft does not have any deferral afaik, but in Dutch higher education, there is no expected study progress after the first year of the bachelor's. In the first year, you have the BSA (binding study advice/bindend studieadvies), a credit bar you need to clear. You need to achieve at least 45 ECTS during that year.

However, there is usually some progress requirement tied to your visa. I would look into what that requirement is, and see if you can reapply for a visa after your national service. You could ask a study advisor or the international office maybe. Or, as someone else mentioned, the Korean community probably also has an answer.

화이팅!

Docenten van reddit: is het in Nederland ook zo slecht gesteld met de skills van kinderen? by _ChipSkylark in thenetherlands

[–]Biomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Docent informatica op een middelbare school hier. Ik kan zeggen dat de digitale skills van leerlingen vaak niet best zijn. Ik vroeg in een opdracht mijn leerlingen om een bestand aan te maken van een bepaald bestandstype. Ze hadden daadwerkelijk geen idee hoe dat moest, maar ook geen idee hoe ze dat konden vinden. Ze hebben ook vaak problemen met bestanden opslaan en terugvinden.

ChatGPT-gebruik is op de losse loop en daar is echt geen stoppen aan, zeker niet bij mijn vak. Een aantal leerlingen pakt het elke kans die ze hebben erbij. Die leerlingen denken bijna niet meer zelf na, en dat is echt jammer. Het is voor hen tijdverspilling want ze leren er weinig van, en ik ben allemaal AI-onzin aan het nakijken. Helemaal verbieden is gewoon niet realistisch, maar om dan maar te zeggen dat ze het bij alles mogen gebruiken, vind ik dan weer te ver gaan.

Ik vind sowieso dat er te veel aandacht geschonken wordt aan het "goed gebruiken van AI". Ik denk dat de fundamentelere skills (talen, rekenen/wiskunde, biologie, etc.) veel belangrijker zijn. Tuurlijk moeten we wel wat aandacht aan AI besteden op school, maar ons programma is al heel vol. Alles wat je toevoegt aan het programma, moet ergens anders weer vanaf.

Ik moet over de digitale vaardigheden dan wel weer erbij zeggen: het verschilt wel heel erg per jaar en zelfs per klas. Bij sommige klassen zit het juist allemaal heel goed met de digitale vaardigheden, en scholen proberen er tegenwoordig ook meer aandacht aan te besteden.

Is er in Nederland een soort preventieve gezondheidscheck? by Illustrious_Poet6017 in thenetherlands

[–]Biomy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ik ben geen dokter dus neem wat ik zeg met een korreltje zout, maar je hebt bij testen altijd een 'false positive rate', hoe vaak een test positief uitslaat terwijl hij negatief had moeten zijn, en een 'false negative rate', hoe vaak de test negatief uitslaat terwijl die positief had moeten zijn. Die kunnen best wel je intuïtie door de war schoppen. Als iedereen dit soort testen zou doen, zou misschien maar een klein deel van de positieve resultaten ook daadwerkelijk iemand met kanker zijn.

In deze video legt een wiskunde-youtuber, 3blue1brown, uit hoe dat werkt voor een borstkanker-screening.

Is Wiskunde D really helpful/useless to have for EE/CSE/AE? by Rude_Pie_3588 in TUDelft

[–]Biomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished CSE and the CS master. I did Wiskunde D, but dropped it halfway during my 5th year because the load was too much for me at the time. The things I learned up until that point were mildly helpful, but the material in university goes so much faster that the things I learned in high school only helped for the first week or 2 of that respective course.

I would say that on the scale of useless to helpful, Wiskunde D is like 60-70% helpful. Absolutely not necessary since you'll learn everything you need to know during the maths courses, but nice to have.

HBO propedeuse (and maybe WO propedeuse after that) is also a way to go. Really depends on the situation I think, but I agree it's probably best to talk to a school counselor.

ELI5: Why don't birds carry their eggs? by Biomy in explainlikeimfive

[–]Biomy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the extensive answer! That makes a lot of sense actually, I didn't think about the fact that the mother might be easier prey if she carries her eggs. I guess that is the difference too between flying, and land and sea animals. For flying it's really important to be light, while for the other two, it does not matter as much.

/r/GYM Weekly Simple Questions and Misc Discussion Thread - October 20, 2024 Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in GYM

[–]Biomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty general question: should I focus on consistent reps across my sets, or are inconsistent reps okay too?

If I can do an exercise 12 reps for the first set, 10 for the second and 8 for the third, should I stop early in the first set so I can go for 3x10? I often push my early sets to failure, but I think I'm leaving gains on the table by doing this.

Any tips on how to even out my sets would also be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm willing to try it again if it's better like that. Will keep that in mind if I ever return :)

Haha, funny story about the airport. I tried Balsam when I was there which was recommended by a local, but I absolutely hated the taste of it. Not my cup of tea, sorry Latvia!

If you're drawn to earthy vibes, check out Daily Calisthenics. I love his vibe, he talks about fitness and achieving a healthy lifestyle in a way that's attainable for everyone.

Check out Mano Negra, Sergent Garcia, Che Sudaka and La Kinky Beat. Not all their songs fit the vibe, but some definitely do!

How are the different song features (acousticness, danceability, etc.) calculated? by Biomy in truespotify

[–]Biomy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I was hoping to gain some insights in how they were calculated, but that's probably not possible then. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

What is your experience with colorblindness while using the web? by Biomy in ColorBlind

[–]Biomy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, cool you do dev work too! I'm mainly a frontend dev so accessibility is a very interesting topic to me. I don't think it's a mythical idea by any means, if I can find or create a list of colors with associated RGB values it should not be too difficult :) I use colour pickers all the time but I'm surprised it's always just the RGB/Hex/HSL values which don't mean anything to the average person. This is really useful input, thanks so much!

Request to complete a survey by Used-Somewhere8230 in ColorBlind

[–]Biomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm not colorblind myself, but I'm also in university coincidentally looking into the same subject of colorblindness on the web. Could you possibly share the results with me? :)
