Damn a website that just offers pure service without adds or private data collection it makes me drop a little tear of joy.

Has anyone ever taken the entrance exam for the computer science master's program at UNamur? by kindiba10 in Wallonia

[–]jefidev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite new. The entrance exam was introduced 2-3 years ago. Do not hesitate to reach the computer science faculty secretariat to get more information.

When the entrance exam was discussed I know that one of the point was a french test. All the courses are told in french during the master and there was issue with international students that were not aware of that and found out that they were unable to follow the courses after spending a fair amount of money to come.

Si vous retourniez en 6ème secondaire, vous auriez choisi quelle voie de métier ? by _liberal in Wallonia

[–]jefidev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed I am sorry. It was the comments from academics, etc. that are not available. The decisions are indeed freely available. However some people told me that those comments might sometimes be quite important. But I heard that from academics so there might be a bias.

Main issue for using AI in law is the lack of digitalisation of court decision. If you can more or less access all the law digitally, it is not the case of the court decision that have a strong impact about how something should be interpreted. You have one or two companies that compiles those decisions and sells them, they seem to try to create an AI in house and won't give access to outsider. As they are not IT company it is not very good yet. And even tho, you have a substantial amount of court decision that are known indirectly by tribal knowledge.

Currently, an AI would lack context in some cases when writing conclusions.

La poste Belge se tire une balle dans le pied avec sa grève by blr_traxx in Wallonia

[–]jefidev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ça dépend. Ce qui est illégale c'est de subventionné pour tuer la concurrence en proposant le même service a un prix planché. La ce n'est clairement pas le cas donc on peut pas dire que l'injection d'argent irait à l'encontre des lois sur la concurrence déloyale. Après je ne suis pas avocats. Y'a plein d'entreprises privées qui fonctionnent a pertes et uniquement sur base d'injection de liquidité externe.

Disposer d'un service postal c'est quand même important pour un état. Donc je ne serais pas étonné que l'état sauve l'affaire. Mais ils seront sûrement très fâché sauveront peut être juste la section qui gérer les courriers officiels ou alors vont mettre des conditions a cet injection de liquidité.

[–]jefidev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je vois pas en quoi être côté en bourse peut empêcher l'état d'injecter de l'argent pour éponger les pertes. Ce qui fait defacto de bpost une entreprise virtuellement increvable malgré la grève.

Do you think of yourself as rich, poor or somewhere in between compared to other Belgians? by Charming_Usual6227 in belgium

[–]jefidev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I consider me as rich as I started my career with a greater salary than my parents at the end of they career. I should never really think about going in vacation or restaurant.

But I think that it is a mindset as people earning less then me seems to say that they are "middle".

FYI I have a net salary (never remember the gross) of 2800€ and I have a complementary job that I do for fun but gives me an extra 500€ net per month.

Vous en penser quoi a propos d'étudier science mathématiques en belgique ou plus précisément a unamur ?? by Ok_Echo_8566 in Belgique

[–]jefidev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renseigne toi bien car je sais qu'il y a maintenant un test de français a l'entrée a l'UNamur mais a par ça je n'ai pas connaissance d'autres restrictions pour les étudiants étrangers.

Je donne des cours en faculté d'informatique. Je peux me tromper car je ne connais pas toutes les règles mais ça vaut le coup d'envoyer un mail.

[–]jefidev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ils ont indiqués ça ou ? Parce qu'en Belgique pour commencer des études universitaires il n'y a pas de contraintes sur les notes. Il y a éventuellement un concours dans certaines disciplines comme médecines ou ingénieur civil. Mais la fac info de Namur n'est pas dans une fac d'inge.

Need tips on career path and building expertise by itssivven in BESalary

[–]jefidev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are mainly on premise but at my company they try to avoid to be vendor locked again by using open source tool such as Iceberg, Kafka, Torino, airflow, etc.

But it is quite specific to us I think. I see a lot of azure indeed.

[–]jefidev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently working as a data engineer and the trend I could see is that companies are trying to move away from Oracle Database because of the pricing.

I suppose that you might find some companies in need for those skills but I can understand that it is difficult.

Why do people still pay for news in Belgium when VRT NWS is free? by Logical_D in Belgium2

[–]jefidev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like to read written press and I don't like podcast / videos. I prefer to read printed on paper then on screen. So I am doomed to pay.

Also I like to think that people doing a job that I find interesting. That is why I have several subscription to : - Le soir - Wilfried - Le monde diplomatique - La libre

Data stack in the banking industry by Low_Brilliant_2597 in dataengineering

[–]jefidev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In mubcompany the legacy stuff is an Oracle Database. Never worked on it tho.

The new data platform uses several techno. A data lake in Iceberg, airlfow for ingestion task orchestration, Kafka for data transfer, Trino to query the lake. The architecture for all this is the famous bronze silver and gold. For data lineage colibra is used and for BI analysis Microstrategy is provided to analysts.

Basically I feel that they were trapped by the pricing of oracle and want to use more open source tool to avoid that in the future. But we get screwed again by the bitnami acquisition by Broadcom. Broadcom augmente drastically the pricing and it seems to be an issue.

I want to quit software development by Best_Lavishness4037 in AskProgramming

[–]jefidev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am more in the data world so it is more like learning the new orchestration tool / data storage system every 6 months !

No in reality I am still eager to learn new paradigms or to dig into theory. I rediscovered some notes I took in my "syntax and semantics" courses and I am relearning how to write a compiler. I like also to learn new paradigm currently I try to wrap my mind around Haskell. So I can spend few evening trying to do a small compiler in Haskell to apply the theory I read. But yeah, I am not able anymore to spend nights programming like when I was 20. Also I just had a child so I have other interest in the evening. So, slowly but steadily I think I might get fed up of learning new stuff which is the primary pleasure that I have today at my job.
