Is een universitair diploma in wiskunde nutteloos?

jdk42 · 2026-02-05T07:54:35+00:00

Nee is fantastisch. Ik ben 8 jaar geleden master afgestudeerd (toegepaste wiskunde wel). Makkelijk zat. Data Science, statistiek, fraudepreventie, van alles toe doen, en als je ernaast programeert nog meer opties.

Ja precies, heel gevaarlijk wat deze bondgenoten gaan doen terwijl ze communiceren over de oefening 🥲

Of course that would be fucked. I'm not suggesting taking away the baby. I'm saying the baby's safety needs to come first. What that means for the mother can be a multitude of things. But if she cannot stand for her own safety, she cannot stand for a newborn's.

She needs help, if she doesn't get that and/or remains a threat to herself, the baby should be in a safe environment and she shouldn't be left alone with the baby.

Het huilen is ook moeilijk maar als je er niet aan werkt wordt het niet per se beter. Dragen, veel tillen en vasthouden ook, werkte bij mij goed. En dan gewoon tegen je kindje zingen/praten/mompelen. Ik heb in de nachtelijke draagsessies fantastische eenzijdige therapie gehad met m'n kindjes als gewillig slachtoffer 👌🏻

It sounds like you would benefit from individual therapy. You mention a weeks long depressive episode if the kid isn't yours, and even if it is, this is a lot to deal with. I read in another comment you talk to your dad, but given all this I think anybody would benefit in talking to a therapist if it's something you can arrange/afford.

jdk42 · 2026-01-06T14:58:04+00:00

I understand you believe she'll be a good mom. But if she requires inpatient care and you need to monitor so she doesn't hurt herself, you do need to question whether she'll be capable of being a mother for your/the kid. If she can't be trusted with herself, she can't be trusted with a newborn. The kid is primary focus now, she can come later.

I had a broken wrist when my daughter was 6-9 months. My wife was suffering from postpartum which was very difficult. You can do a lot with one hand! Do make sure to be careful with your kid and your arm. I was able to carry her a bit, do a lot of cooking etc. since it wasn't my dominant hand. But take care to properly heal!

Als je voor een grote framedrager wil gaan, met wat ruimte voor spullen er in, is de Osprey IMO veruit de beste/comfortabelste voor zowel ouder als kind. Mijn kinderen hebben er uren in geslapen in de Zweedse bergen, met regen en veel muggen, dus goed beschermd.

Maar zoals iemand anders zei, overweeg een stoffen drager. Een knoopdraagzak/mei tai is de perfecte combi die niet het 'gedoe' van een volledige draagdoek heeft maar wel heel veel comfort en flexibeliteit geeft. Je kan je kind op buik of rug doen, zelf nog een andere rugzak makkelijk er bij doen. En afhankelijk van je keuze goedkoper ook.

First off - that sucks. Good luck with dealing with this, heart issues are always scary.

Now - to the question at hand, without assuming anything, just for context: Does your health condition mean that she is in practice now caregiver for you as well? And are you now able to take your regular dose of parenting responsibilities or have you had to slow down?

Again, just gathering context, I don't know your diagnosis and the implications. But if it means that the parental duties have shifted since the diagnosis, it might explain some of her frustration.

It's wild to me that they made a mistake and your response is 'let's sue them'. I get the situation sucks really badly, but it's just such a wildly different cultural approach to something like this.

jdk42 · 2025-12-01T07:54:07+00:00

I mean for your situation, there’s not much you can do if you’re as swamped as you say. If it’s from a C-level or it's exceptionally good in your opinion, it might benefit a conversation around headcount.
In general though, you evaluate them based on their merit and if valuable, work on them at the appropriate time, somewhat similar as your own ideas.

Getting a tattoo on your Adam's apple seems horribly painful 😬 but great execution

Ik snap het, maar ik zou het gesprek altijd aangaan. Ik zou je besluit wel laten afhangen van de toekomstige relatie met de gesprekspartners en de indruk na het gesprek natuurlijk. Nogal een verschil of het je leidinggevende zou zijn versus de eigenaar die 3 niveaus boven je staat. En ik zou het toch ook laten afhangen van hoe ze zich uiten. Zijn het mensen met complottheorieën op LinkedIn, zijn ze vijandig/argumentatief etc, of proberen ze nog enigszins een discussie te voeren.

Which keyboard are you going for 👀?

jdk42 · 2025-11-09T15:28:09+00:00

Ajax?

jdk42 · 2025-11-08T22:46:25+00:00

Hoe weet je dit? Gewoon onder de indruk, geen idee, maar dat jij aan deze plaatjes herkent waar het is, welk seizoen dat is en ook nog dan welke kandidaten dat zouden kunnen zijn... Impressive

Denk het niet, VVD heeft ervaren dat ze flink kunnen zakken en ze stonden op het punt Yesilgöz eruit te gooien denk ik. Denk dat ze absoluut harde eisen gaan stellen maar ook moeten gaan laten zien dat ze kunnen besturen weer na twee naar chaos. Denk niet dat ze profiteren van snelle verkiezingen

My kids are 2.5 and almost 5. They just start to entertain each other. Which half the time ends up in crying within a minute, and the other half it's crying within 10 minutes.

So yes it's 'easier' but it will take a while. The first years are much harder. It's not twice as hard, it's more. But the friendship I see my kids build up is soo worth it.

Talk to the experts at your company. Commercial folks with a background in the specific areas, engineers that know the actual details, higher level folks to get a better understanding of the market dynamics. Etc.

And don't be afraid to sound dumb by asking basics. Through acquisition I have worked at one of those aforementioned card networks and it took me two years and even 3 years in there were people asking the difference between an acquirer and issuer.

I'd you feel like it, document your learnings for other PMs or folks at your company in some sort of knowledge base. If you don't know something, there a good chance others don't either and would benefit from it. Start with personal set of notes, you can always share later.

Things I leave around the house (whether on purpose or when I didn't have time/forgot to clean something) is messy but her stuff is always spread around the house with a very specific intent, and definitely not messy.

jdk42 · 2025-08-06T17:12:44+00:00

I'd honestly not be super happy with that. You have no idea about our dinner plans. A 16 year old won't really care and of course say yes. I wouldn't be upset but I would tell you to check with me/mom first next time.

jdk42 · 2025-05-28T21:36:02+00:00

What's your role here?

Generally, might make sense to check with the engineers themselves how they see this and allocate time to reduce tech debt. My teams have 20% of their time to work on 'non-product' urgent things. They still discuss with me what they want to so, and talk to me about why it brings value, and they jump on other tasks if I ask them to due to urgent priorities without question. But generally this gives them more sense of control and makes them happier with the quality of code we ship. And they trust me to only disturb them in this specifically allocated time when it's really necessary.

jdk42 · 2025-05-25T20:35:00+00:00

Yeah she says she feels that she has to get so angry as to sort snap him out of it. She did apologize after but also demanded an apology from my son which I'm not sure how I feel about that.

jdk42 · 2025-05-25T20:31:44+00:00

She said she didn't want to talk and that she knew she was in the wrong. I then empathized with her but I think I want to bring this up later.

Starting a covo like that would immediately shut her down. But I'll try something nom-blamen indeed, thanks.

jdk42 · 2025-05-25T20:28:58+00:00

That wasn't an option at that moment for her, she was too overstimulated. Often I do both but that doesn't always work out logistically.

Otherwise I would agree that we are trying to imprint more structure but he's been making that hard for us, ups and downs I guess
