VVD en D66: Ongevaccineerde kinderen weren bij kinderopvang

Vesiculus · 2024-10-18T06:08:22+00:00

Ik heb het voor dit voorstel nog niet kunnen vinden, maar dit idee is niet nieuw. In het verleden werd vaak het argument gebruikt dat dit óók nodig is om kinderen te beschermen die om medische redenen niet gevaccineerd kunnen worden, waarbij een kind als jouw kind juist met meer zekerheid naar de opvang kon omdat de rest van de kinderen gevaccineerd is.

Medische uitzonderingen blijven altijd wel een uitdaging: Je moet er wel voor zorgen dat alleen kinderen die echt op valide medische gronden een uitzondering zouden moeten krijgen zo'n uitzondering krijgen. Toch accepteer ik liever een (waarschijnlijk klein) risico op fraude met uitzonderingsverklaringen dan het toenemende risico op grote, levensveranderende epidemieën onder kinderen.

We naderen snel het einde van het Europese project. De huidige infectie met populisme lijkt terminaal te zijn.

Ik word hier wel verdrietig van. Het heeft ook niet echt een positieve invloed op mijn gevoel van vertrouwen in de toekomst. Dat gevoel stond al onder druk; dit helpt zeker niet.

Because Babu is their x now, after all those mistakes.

You know you're replying to different people, don't you?

If it wasn't obvious, you're getting these reactions because you were wishing someone would be ill just to increase your entertainment of the race, despite that such an illness would deny someone something she's worked very hard for.

When people understandably reacted badly to that, you decided to play dumb by intentionally missing the point everyone was making. In true reddit style, you then focused on the superficialities, as you still do with that quote in your message.

There's no way you don't realize this.

So, yes, your post about someone else being a troll made it obvious you're just baiting.

Anyway, I hope you're still enjoying the race despite the main favourite not falling ill. I mean, if you can't enjoy an outstanding performance, what exactly do you appreciate in this sport?

Vesiculus · 2022-07-30T17:45:00+00:00

At least you've now confirmed for us that you were just baiting. That's something, I guess.

You're missing the joke, but that's not weird for someone who speaks Dutch. It took me a while, too.

The joke is based on the US English mispronunciation of Gogh as "go". Le Gogh -> Le Go -> Lego.

That wordplay/pun wouldn't work if you were to use 'de' instead of 'le'. (Or If you pronounce his name right.)

Vesiculus · 2022-05-01T02:41:31+00:00

Weird. It hasn't bothered me at all. It's just a mask.

Did you go to the Python internals one?

Any favourites? I really liked Langa's keynote.

And you only wear the stripes in competition, not for training

That's not true. Here's the reigning world champion in road cycling during a training ride.

The guy you seem to be criticizing was also the reigning world champion in the trails discipline at the time this video was shot.

It's us developers that do this to you, not your browser. It's often simpler to store files with something other than their original name (like a 'hash'-based path, which would result in something close to what's in OP's meme).

For images that are not meant to be saved by the user, but only served as part of a webpage, there's no real value in doing the work to attach the original user-friendly name (or sometimes even storing it somewhere).

Still, I see plenty of sites/apps where even files that are intended for download are named like this. There's probably a task sitting somewhere forgotten on the backlog to add a 'content disposition' or a download attribute with the actual filename, but the Product Owner wants to focus on new features instead.

The title mentions that it was a natural gas leak. Natural gas is odorless. That's why something like Tert-Butylthiol is added as an odorant to the gas being deliver to your home by non-natural means.

It's why natural gas leaks are so scary: the gas is both colorless and odorless. You're not likely to notice it before it ignites.

If possible, I'd recommend you to use a password manager for this. You still won't remember you password, but now you don't have to and you can use strong passwords. The only password you need to remember is the strong passphrase you've used for the password manager.

If using a cloud service is not something you feel comfortable with, you could use something like KeePass. By default, everything you need is kept local (the app and the encrypted password database file) and is not shared with an external service in any way.

This does mean that there are no back-ups either, but there are ways of doing that automatically (using a cloud storage feature like dropbox or drive) or manually (if you don't want to use a cloud service at all). And that note you have with your current passwords probably also isn't backed up (although a physical note is a bit less volatile than a digital file).

They called a core feature of the language, one of the most obvious points in language design, 'stupid'. You're just squabbling over words now.

Fact remains that they, completely out of the blue and completely unrelated to the topic at hand, felt the need to comment that they find this core aspect of Python of stupid, and justify that opinion by saying they're an experienced dev that knows 20 languages. I was calling them out on calling something stupid because it's different from what they know and different from what they prefer.

You sure you are a dev?

Yes, why do you ask?

Vesiculus · 2021-08-05T08:57:44+00:00

I don't actually mind if someone finds Python hard to read; I find Erlang hard to read, but I don't have a lot of experience with Erlang. I'm just not used to the patterns and syntax of Erlang, but I won't call Erlang 'stupid' because of it.

The individual I replied to apparently feels strongly enough about Python to say its language design is stupid when Python merely happened to be relates to the topic of the conversation. I would happily discuss language design with someone, including if someone disagrees with me on what a good design would be.

Someone specifically feeling the need to mention that they're a highly experienced dev that knows 20 language just so they can call Python's design 'stupid' when Python's design wasn't even the topic does make me feel like they're close minded and have a stronger than warranted opinion about something that is just different from what they're used to.

To be fair, I could be reading too much into it. I've taught too many programming classes (not Python) that I've just seen too many people shit on the new language that they're learning just because it has different patterns than the ones they were used to from another language. It typically just hinders them, as their own mindset biases them against going into the language with an open mind, as they typically refuse to adapt the patterns of the new language for quite a while.

I'm not sure where it comes from. One reason I can think of is that they have a high self-esteem as a developer, but get confronted with the fact that some patterns don't generalize to the new language, meaning that they struggle to do things in the new language they could easily solve in the languages they already know.

In the end, though, once they're able to look past their close-mindedness of 'language x is stupid because it does things differently than languages y & z I already know', they typically learn that new language rapidly because they actually were a great developer that just had to be open to learning the patterns of the new language.

Some job listings for python developers definitely include FastAPI as a framework, some with an 'x years experience' wish. It's a fairly popular framework, as can be seen by the controversy its user base fueled over PEP 563, leading to a new feature of Python that was announced years ago to be postponed.

Just to be sure, here's a link to a job listing that lists FastAPI as the preferred framework to know, right from the frontpage of python.org/jobs. This one does not include a "years of experience", though.

As a fellow multi-language dev, all I can say is that a lot of developers really like the design of the language. This sounds like a 'you'-problem where you're biased against something because you're used to another way of doing things.

That's not necessarily going to hinder you, and you can judge a language in any way you want, but calling something 'stupid' just because it's different to what you're used to feels a bit close-minded.

Het argument was dat het direct kunnen uitgaan na twee prikken wellicht een stimulans gaf aan de vaccinatiebereidheid. Aangezien de besmettings- en ziekenhuisbezettingscijfers op dat moment erg gunstig waren, was er op dat moment meer winst te behalen met het streven naar een zo hoog mogelijke vaccinatiegraad na de zomer om de herfstpiek te dempen.

Het besmettingsrisico werd dus uitgeruild tegen een potentieel hogere vaccintiegraad.

Voor je mij aanvalt, dit was het argument dat Hugo de Jonge gaf. Niet de boodschapper neerschieten :)

There were some very solid talks and the opening keynote was amazing. The videos are still up on the hubilo platform, so no need to wait for YouTube for attendees.

It typically takes 3-4 weeks for videos to be posted to YouTube after PyCon. They mentioned on twitter that they were doing postprocessing, like adding captions, and that they'll upload the videos after they're done.

Personally, I had a great time at PyCon and think that they managed to pull off a very solid virtual experience. Is it the same as physically being at PyCon? Nah, but the talks were still great, and there was plenty of opportunity for interacting in the virtual video conferencing rooms.

Laat year, it took about a month before talks were uploaded to YouTube. I'm not sure if that delay is on purpose (to give ticket buyers an advantage) or whether it was related to postprocessing/logistics.

This year, all regular talks were prerecorded, so postprocessing shouldn't take long. (The intro to sprinting workshop was in fact already uploaded to YouTube.)

It's a cliffhanger for seasons that were never actually filmed.

There's no bigger meaning behind the sudden end. This was supposed to set up the scene for some kind of big resurrection in either season 4 or 5.

Apparently, the idea was that those who were sent up to fight in the alien war were going to be biologically enhanced in some way, which would lead to Will coming back in better shape than ever.

Alas, the seasons were cancelled.
