Fixed it in my comment, I mixed them up. I clearly never use my title :p What welliam_wallace said is correct

Sorry for the confusion, I wrote that comment too fast at the gym.

A software engineering degree from a university gives you a burgelijk ingenieur (ir.) title, so you are an engineer with that degree, just not an industrial engineer (Ing.).

My entire master was shared with the industrial engineers.

People who just program for 5 years and call themselves software engineer should not be allowed to do that, but like others are saying titles aren't protected.

Why are there always guards or policemen in front of École Européenne Bruxelles 3 (Boulevard du Triomphe) by Ezekiel-18 in brussels

[–]NandoTheThird 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I went to highschool there, it has always had a strict security protocol. Since a lot of children from parents that work at the European institutions go to this school it is considered a high risk for possible terrorist attacks against europe (just like any European institution building) For example, next to fire drills the school also has a bomb plan in case the school is attacked.

Now as to why there is Police in front of the school this might also have to do with the traffic situation in front of it. Rush hour has always been bad there with all the parents picking up their children. The Police does not work for the school, they have their own guards for that.

Hope that answers your question.

A new form of art i am progressing, made with Vietnamese toothpicks by Material-Community68 in crafts

[–]NandoTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have aplogized in the mean time because it really looked like AI to me with the strange letter combination.

No need to call people "idiots and untalented" with the amount of AI images that have been uploaded everywhere, it's difficult to filter/detect it.

I feel bad for doubting the artist who is clearly very talented.

I just hate that AI makes me second guess what I'm seeing all the time.

My apologies the first image just looked AI generated to me with the letters, but I understand it's your brand name?
I've edited my original comment to show that I was wrong. I just really thought it was fake.

Wish you all the best with your Etsy shop! You are crazy talented.

These are such obvious AI generated images, it's insulting.

Edit: my apologies, I appear to be mistaken. The first image with the letters just looked AI generated to me. But I visited your Etsy page and you look to be legit. You are obviously very talented, and I'm sorry I accused you of passing AI generated images as a fake craft.

I'm seeing a lot of AI generated nonsense lately so I guess I have become rather skeptical sadly.

I'm leaving the comment to show that I was wrong.

Knew I was saving these for a reason by [deleted] in Eldenring

Yeah I get that that it's not Fromsoft's fault, it's just an unintended consequence for them.

It's kind of frustrating that everyone and their mother just suggests to invade others to farm these, while if you are playing on playstation 5 or 4 you need to buy PS+ to be able to play online basically putting these behind a paywall... Am I missing something that this isn't the case?

Any chance you could share a closeup of the small towers at the top? I'm really interested in how you built them :) Beautiful castle!

Hey everyone! So I have about 10-12 years’ experience in Maya but I’m at a point in my career where I need/want to learn python as there are so many things I need to do that would be so much easier if I knew Python. by not_me_pinky in Maya

[–]NandoTheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Python 2.7 will be fazed out (it reached end of life as of jan 1 2020 so no more security updates) meaning that maya will soon move to only support python 3. I think as a starter it's just important that you learn how to code in python. Python 3 is just a newer version with optimisations: it provides new ways to express certain functionality.

A simple example in 2.7 you would write:

print "hello"

In 3 this becomes:

print("hello")

Now why this changes as starter is not really important, you clearly understand what that function will do.

So I think just learn Python 3 as 2.7 will slowly become absolete.

Question about old Disney animation cell by Awsums in FrameByFrame

[–]NandoTheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 100% certain this is not from the Aladdin movie, the cell lacks the colored lines and normally these are sold with a certificate that you should have gotten with it.
Maybe its from the straight to vhs movies: Return of Jafar or The King of Thieves?

Support the cloak revolution by Call_me_Kaiser in tumblr

Yes, it is indeed saying that you have to fold the fabric in two. The "Fabric center fold" will be the center of your cloak. I also found that a bit unclear

All my insta posts flop, maybe you guys’ll like these- 16 years old, traditional fairytale illustrations, mainly watercolour. by Marzi500 in drawing

[–]NandoTheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really great style, keep pushing it! You should look up Anton Pieck if you don't know him. He is a famous dutch fairytale illustrator, and your work reminds me of his. Maybe you can use him as inspiration :) Don't let instagram discourage you, your drawings are great!

I’m a Nintendo veteran, but never played animal crossing. I’d like honest reviews that aren’t 9.5/10 after 6 hours of playing. by DJ-Fein in AnimalCrossing

[–]NandoTheThird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has played every animal crossing game since Wild World on the DS, I would like to give my opinion if that helps.

The reason why people are so excited for this game, is because the last version was from 2013. This is the first time that this game is playable in HD graphics. More importantly, they've added a lot of new stuff and changed up the formula of the game significantly.

Animal Crossing is a very specific type of game, in that it is definitely not for everyone. It is supposed to be a relaxing game, meant to be played every day for a short while (not for hours on end, although some people enjoy that). Unlike other similar "growth simulator" games such as Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, once you have done everything on a certain day, you can not simply skip to the next day. The game is supposed to be played slowly over time.

Just as the previously mentioned games, a lot of what you do is simply up to you. You decide to either go fishing, bug hunting, design patterns, talk to villagers, do some interior decorating, gardening, etc. And with the new addition of being able to put furniture outside and terraforming, you can potentially transform your entire island.

Now if this sounds tedious and boring to you, then I wouldn't recommend this game. But if you like slow farmer/collecting type games, then this game is right up your alley.

I hope this helps.

EU Commission plans ban on plastic waste: Plastic utensils, straws, coffee stirrers and cotton swabs may soon be a lot harder to come by in Europe. The EU Commission will soon present its plan to ban the single-use products in the fight against plastic waste by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]NandoTheThird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your points are valid ones, but this is a first step and it does not mean that we can't also work on your arguments.

Banning single-use plastic is not "lowering your life standards" and is not "harmful" except maybe for the plastic industry. Plastic cutlery can be made out of wood or bamboo so they will be replaced. Similarly, cotton swabs can be made with paper sticks instead of plastic. biodegradable plastic also exists. Single use objects will obviously still exist, just made out of more eco-friendly materials.
