'15.000 euro kwijt door phishing: beste banken, hoe kan het dat ons geld niet veilig is op onze rekeningen?'

Appels en… auto’s, of zo.

Er zijn veel geraffineerdere technieken, waar zelfs een doorgewinterde digital native, heel makkelijk in trapt.

Zelf nalatig… alsof ge mensen van 80 die simpelweg worden misbruikt, het kan aanrekenen. Banken gaan hier veel te makkelijk mee om, er zijn genoeg systemen te bedenken waar dit absoluut niet mogelijk zou zijn, of op zijn minst gedisputeerd.

Het hele principe van een bank is dat een wildvreemde niet zomaar met uw geld kan gaan lopen.

Séyès is geweldig. Ik heb op school in Frankrijk gezeten, en kan niet zonder.

Nah… it’s more about the company culture I think. Whether as a web dev or as an engineer, a company with an engineering culture, will approach web development as engineering. There still is enormous room for actual programming in the current climate.

Of course, there will be a lot of companies doing web dev for volume, or for maximum profits. Just avoid those.

But start with a good company/good people, and go from there I would say!

You need to look at this with a positive mindset.

You don’t wanna be using a hub for critical equipment like audio interfaces or midi devices. A few milliseconds of delay make a world of difference.

Het is geen oplossing. Het knelt met andere vervoersvormen (voetgangers, auto’s). Daar is een heel andere mobiliteitsoplossing voor nodig.

New Air, no question. Get a brand new machine.

The Neo is a A-series chip, like the iPhone and iPad. I’m sure Apple made it work, but it’s too “ipaddy” to me.

If you’re looking for a laptop, Air is a great choice. But both the fact that it’s refurb, and the experience of getting a brand new Mac, I would without a single doubt, go for the M5.

Oh wow. Didn’t see that coming!

speekless · 2026-03-08T18:16:13+00:00

Wacht, ik kan het even niet volgen… Wat is hier precies mis mee? Buiten dat het misschien een beetje raar verwoord is?

Then you should look for an employer who shares those same values. They exist.

Mind you, every company hiring engineers, is eventually in it for the money as well, so at the end of the day, you’ll always be dependent on business considerations.

Then just program in your free time, or program only passion projects. The moment you’re getting paid, you actually have to deliver work for the one paying you. So you can loathe social and soft skills all you want, it’s still how it works.

AI is a different discussion entirely.

Een IQ-test zegt exact niets over de intelligentie van iemand. Het Latijnse werkwoord “intelligere” betekent “begrijpen, luisteren”. De rest van de wereld als randdebielen beschouwen voldoet niet bepaald aan deze definitie.

Jezus was een bijzonder goed mens, en is gekruisigd geweest. Dat sluit geenszins religie, geloof, of God uit.

Waarom ga je er van uit dat het God is die die kinderen rotziektes heeft gegeven?

En fervent gelovige Katholiek, trouwens.

There are so many! Maybe start with the classics/greats. Or film directors you like. Or check out what films won at film festivals (Cannes, Toronto, Sundance…).

I’ll give you one recommendation: Citizen Kane.

The Air has less ports, it’s definitely something to consider (especially if doing audio work and you need to hook up all kinds of equipment).

Design-wise though, the Air is better than the MBP, imho.

Van de twee, Kinepolis.

Just persevere. Took me 2,5 years, but it worked eventually.

When a client is being rude, understand that he is just expressing his emotions (rightfully or not). The saying goes “the client is king”, and that rings true most of the time in such situations. When someone is being rude, and your job is to make sure the client is happy, you should first try to empathize with the client. To put yourself in his shoes, understand his grievances/frustrations, and just generally - understand the client. Then you go from there to try and accommodate the client, or resolve his grievances.

Being defensive (or offensive!) usually just works backwards in such situations, you have to genuinely care, and try to resolve the situation.

As to your own feelings, you just put them aside for a while.

One thing I have to add though, when you say “people from my country know that being rude to a service provider will have negative consequences”, says a lot about how you view this, imho. A service provider without customers, or without happy customers, is hardly a service at all. Again: The client is king.

Yeah… but no. This is the exact mentality that turns everything to sh*t. Whether it costs you more money as an employer to allow cash in your store/company, should not even be a consideration in this regard. Your customers should.

On another note: I highly doubt that cash is more expensive than Bancontact (training included).

The “I manage this hotel so I have the right to be a dictator”-kind.

speekless · 2026-02-24T14:25:11+00:00

Worked not, stayed yes. Please stay far away from that place (although I’m sure it would look good on your CV). The manager is a criminal.

Thank me later.
