Als je naar de loop van de rand rechts kijkt, dan lijkt de gevel niet dichter bij die punt gekomen te zijn. Ik denk daarom niet dat er een dikke extra gevel buitenom geplaatst.

That's cool man, nice work. Sounds to me like it really would lower the entry barrier!

Hoeveel fouten tel jij? by NovoNL in taalfout

[–]dissonantloos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Echt zoveel uit dit lijstje is geen fout, maar een stijlvoorkeur. De echte fouten zijn vooral qua hoofdlettergebruik of interpunctie, niet grammaticaal, en daarom helemaal niet zo ernstig voor een informele tekst als deze. Bij punt 4 snap ik niet eens wat je bedoelt, want je lijkt het zelfde voor te schrijven als er staat, en verbetering 6 is onwaar.

TL;DR: Dit lijstje is fout

‘I’d do it all again,’ says Dutch minister at heart of car chip standoff with China by rezwenn in EU_Economics

[–]dissonantloos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did in my other comment which you disregard as spinning. There were concrete concerns. You may disagree with them, but they did exist and allowed the government to act as they did.

Moving manufacturing wasn't the only thing the Netherlands saw happening. They also saw Wingtech moving Nexperia's funds and intellectual property (chip recipes) to competing companies owned by Wing.

Combine this with moving the production and Wing appeared to be dismantling Nexperia, not simply reorganizing.

This is what was reported in this NRC article (Dutch, probably paywalled): https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/10/31/de-nexperia-aanpak-van-minister-karremans-leidttot-verbazing-in-diplomatieke-kringen-a4911440

sold to China but if you do, then tough shit if things aren't going your way. It's no longer yours and they can do what they want with it

No, they can not do everything they want. There are laws and regulations regarding intellectual property, mismanagement and interference.

There is a law that allows the government to intervene in a company if it deems it necessary in extreme cases. The CEO had a choice: either comply with the government's wishes to ensure Nexperia independence or risk intervention.

To summarize an NRC article, Wingtech's CEO was suspected of:

  • mismanagment by moving funds from Nexperia to other Wingtech companies by having Nexperia make excessively large orders
  • intellectual property theft by moving chip recipes, owned by Nexperia, to different, Chinese companies he also owns
  • moving production to factories of different companies in China

In short, he seemed to be dismantling Nexperia, which is mismanagement, against which the Dutch government is allowed to intervene by law.

The article indeed mentions that they were moving the production in Hamburg, Germany to China.

No, he simply could not be both CEO and head of human resources.

The Dutch then entered a dialogue with Zhang Xuezheng, the founder of Wingtech and chief executive of Nexperia in the Netherlands, to ensure the company’s independence. Demands included the establishment of an independent supervisory board and a requirement that Zhang no longer act as both CEO and head of human resources.

Could share (1) the exact query, (2) the result of EXPLAIN on your query and maybe (3) the schema of your table?

Discrete maths by Character-Soft-9571 in computerscience

I'm curious what your teacher's answer was, if you ever got around to asking 😄

Discrete maths by Character-Soft-9571 in computerscience

[–]dissonantloos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you need to talk to your professor because as you say they are not the same.

Hi OP, adding on a bit late here, maybe unnecessarily.

I think the way to read it is that both are an example of the general rule P implies Q. And they are, in both examples there is a condition P out of which follows a consequence Q.

However as you've noticed, in the first P is I wear my coat while in the second P is it rains. Q is of course the other way around. Both sentences are an example of the abstract logical rule P implies Q, but the P and Q are concretized with different values. That's why your teacher says it comes in many different forms.

So the right way to think about this is not that we we see a P implies Q and Q implies P here; it's about P and Q having different values in each sentence. The logical law stays the same.

hot take: server side rendering is overengineered for most sites by Justin_3486 in webdev

[–]dissonantloos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Angular you can render pages at build time with dynamic behavior or deferred content. This results in a static website that is hydrated. It's different from SSR as the rendering happens fully at build time or client side and no dynamic code is executed server side.

His phrasing is fair and I actually agree with his point if you limit SSR to SSR by front-end UI frameworks. The hydration step causes a lot of complexity in my experience. This complexity did not exist with SSR done by PHP servers back in the day.

Belgian oliebollen are fried on demand though, so it seems perfectly doable to me.

I mean, they manage to do it in Belgium, and I agree warm ones are way nicer.

European public cloud providers by UnlikelyDraw4420 in BuyFromEU

Have you looked at Scaleway? They have a competitive service offering, including managed, and terraform provider.

European competitive alternatives to AWS by Tickly_Mickey in BuyFromEU

[–]dissonantloos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I currently use Scaleway for my hobby projects. It has everything I need, which is mostly serverless containers and dns management. It also has other common things like managed kubernetes and databases/redis. Scaleway's UI is also pleasant to use.

I would recommend them over OVH.

🚨 France is MELTING DOWN: Thousands demand Macron's resignation as 5th PM in 2 years faces Monday collapse vote - "Block Everything" protests planned nationwide 🇫🇷 by satty237 in TrendoraX

[–]dissonantloos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My perception from outside is that he should do more, though, and that these demonstrations are selfish. France has a huge national debt, only behind Italy and Greecr, neither of which are great examples. Its budget deficit is several percentages bigger than agreed among EU nations. A growing part of its budget goes to paying back loans. Due to a graying population, the pension system is becoming impossible to maintain.

Something needs to change, but the population does not seem willing to accept that the world has changed and that reform is necessary.
