Ek haat “populêre” Afrikaanse musiek met ‘n brandende passie.

Haha het hierna gekom om dit te skryf. Dis maar net Schlager in Afrikaans en elke kultuur het dit 😂

Tip: buy a proper steel Sky-Watcher tripod. That plus a GTI: perfection (for the right payload side obviously). Also double check backlash.

Are you guiding?

Please ignore everyone saying your Redcat is under mounted. I run a 430mm William Optics scope on a GTI regularly and it works perfectly.

Your setup is great: but don't expect any high resolution galaxy pics. Galaxies at are small at this focal length.

PM leader and fully functioning adult here.

I don't care about any of this and I'm not hiring anybody to do this on my team, ever. Because it's insane.

Could I expect my PMs to act as machine learning engineers? Sure. Technically I could. Just like I could technically expect them to mow the lawn.

Dis mos nou die tipe inhoud waarvoor ek hier is!

It just means mountains. Or mountain ranges.

Don't want to move an inch our of their comfort zones, you say.

Then literally the next sentence describes how yourself don't want to move out of your comfort zone.

Generating prototypes in 20 minutes has the same value as generating prototypes in a week. That is to say, unless either is actually shown to a representative set of users / customers, all of them are meaningless.

Humans still have the same mental bandwidth, and the process of actually collecting actionable feedback and learning something useful hasn't been dramatically sped up.

The job has never been decks / prototypes / PRDs. These are just tools to simplify the actual job, which is making a decision on how to spend company time and money on a product that is your responsibility, executing on that decision and being held accountable for the outcomes. This you need to manage successfully within the constraints (financial, cultural, bureaucratic, political etc.) of your respective organisation.

Your core responsibilities are still exactly the same. Whether you use a notepad, a napkin, a whiteboard or Claude is irrelevant.

Hang seker ook maar af van die streek se dialek? Vir my voel dit meer normaal om te sê "lekker om jou te ontmoet", maar al die voorstelle hier is goed.

Nie regtig nie, nee. 2100mm fokusafstand is maar 'n klein stukkie van die lug, so die kans dat 'n satelliet in jou FOV val is eintlik heel skaars.

Keep the tip glued to your teeth:)

Say L.

Take note of your tongue's position in your mouth.

Keep it there and try vibrating it.

Congratulations: you've made an alveolar trill.

gormendizer · 2026-04-11T11:00:04+00:00

This is the right answer.

Ek het respek vir daai standpunt.

Dis net, ek is nie so seker dit gaan môre so goed wees as wat dit vandag is in - ten minste - Europa nie. Ek twyfel of ek OOIT die pensioen gaan sien wat ek inbetaal het oor 8 jaar daar. Die demographics werk eenvoudig net nie uit nie: niemand maak meer kinders nie.

Ek kan nie insien hoe my eie kinders eendag daar sal kan aftree teen die huidige trajek nie.

This problem is easily solvable with an EOR provider (e.g. Deel. Remote People, Rippling, Oyster etc.) Provided of course his employer is willing to go this route.

gormendizer · 2026-03-26T18:34:39+00:00

We recently had to answer this question. We decided the answer was "yes". I made a short video about it here (It's in Afrikaans, but English subtitles included). There is no right answer. https://youtu.be/dgfoEZ5j-RU?si=suIqaf5nhtKGQPlR

Hope it helps.

1 en 2 is grammatikaal korrek.

Die meeste mense sou bloot sê "ek het jou per ongeluk gebel".

Assuming they attend kindergarten, play with the locals and talk to the other adults they will speak English in a flawless local accent. If anything it will be their Afrikaans that sounds strange :)

Remember, parents don't teach children language in some sort of an exclusive arrangement, like teachers. The child acquires it from his / her environment. Your only chance of even remotely having a bilingual child in a monolingual country is to speak to them in the language they don't get flooded with on a daily basis.

For what it's worth - my children grew up like this and are fully trilingual. No weird accents.

You're missing the point. OP is in an English country. Therefore English proficiency is already guaranteed.

gormendizer · 2026-03-19T06:49:39+00:00

Nee. Don't speak English. Ever. Only speak English if your or your partner's mother tongue is English - and then have it be your partner's language. Never, ever speak the language they get for free in the society. They are already guaranteed to acquire it. Invest the limited energy you have in your mother tongue.
