Re: Microsoft Teams komt naar Linux!

reinier_post — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 13:05:15 -0000

Teams is web-based, en Microsoft ondersteunt het gebruik op Linux met Chrome. Die Linux-client is dus niet zo hard nodig. Ik gebruik ook op Windows Teams liever in een browser.

In case you're wondering (and I know you are): the target audience for our wiki is not dummies, but TU/e employees and students.

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik sinds het verschijnen van dit artikel nog maar twee keer van deze parkeerplaats gebruik heb gemaakt. De wandeling van mijn werkplek naar de parkeerplaats kost een kwartier, en de fietstocht naar mijn huis ook. Het omrijden vanaf de parkeerplaats kost nog eens vijf minuten. Het gebruiken van de parkeerplaats kost me dus tijd. Maar het is een aardige wandeling als de zon schijnt.

Re: Changing Priority on Linux Processes

The point is that priority and niceness are different (related) values, so it's just wrong to call a niceness value a priority.

Johanna, you're being offensive and not funny at all. I cringe at what you're writing here. You're always welcome to visit my office so I can explain what's wrong with you.

Het is mij niet duidelijk geworden waarom de busdienst in zijn huidige vorm is opgezet. Deze bus nemen kost voor de meeste trajecten gemiddeld meer tijd dan het oplevert. Waarom zou je het dan doen?

Of course all countries have wealthy and poorer regions, some far more than others; what would a comparison by city look like?

Re: What Programming Languages Are Used Most on Weekends?

So SharePoint is the one thing people only use when they have to. It's not all bad ... I like the relational database features. So I think we can blame corporate culture ('nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft and forcing it on employees') rather than the product in this case.

I used this page yesterday, so thank you. The use case you're describing here can be handled just as easily with rsync or tar, but the one I had can't: I had a specific list of files I needed to copy and I needed to change ownership to a different user. Easy with cpio:

cat ~/list-of-files | ssh source "cd $PWD && cpio -o" | sudo -u owner cpio -id

Re: Ask Alain | Waarom staat er een orgel in het Auditorium?

reinier_post — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 10:01:59 -0000

De belangrijkste reden dat het orgel zo weinig bespeeld wordt, heb ik gehoord, is dat de akoestiek van het Auditorium zo beroerd is. Er zijn plannen gemaakt om die te verbeteren, maar er is geen geld voor.

Dit lijkt me dus een mooi voorbeeld van het verschijnsel dat geld uitgeven aan dingen gemakkelijker is dan geld uitgeven aan dingen goed krijgen.

Ik geloof er helemaal niks van dat dat vroeger wel kon. Sterker nog: ik denk dat het vroeger nog veel gevaarlijk was dan nu om voor omstanders zichtbaar een heleboel geld in handen te krijgen en dan een wandeling van 20 minuten te maken.

Triest blijft het.

Re: Get Weather Conditions On Linux From Commandline

reinier_post — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 05:30:45 -0000

Interesting; I might use this. One remark: install everything that isn't in a system package in /usr/local or /opt, never in /usr/bin; that way you avoid conflicts with your package management (iwhich may have a weatherman, too).

With the right simplifications, it may be doable.

How hard would it be to do string similarity analysis on the code base to weed out contributed code? Basically: don't count lines of code, but the amount of difference between code and any other code. That would be a fun project and I think it's doable.

Re: Most European Languages Face Digital Extinction

reinier_post — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 07:38:22 -0000

A fascinating subject!

I'm not sure whether the project members would agree with your summary. In the volume on Dutch (http://www.meta-net.eu/whit..., on page 5, the opposite statement is made: while originally, English was the lingua franca of the Internet, nowadays, the native language of most Internet users is a language other than English, and that is the language they predominantly use in Internet communications. What is lacking, they argue, is not the use of languages other than English, but software support for them at levels comparable to what is available for English.

No doubt, computers and the Internet have promoted the use of English at the expense of other languages, but that doesn't mean it will drive them to extinction. I believe the use of languages is influenced far more by cultural and political developments than by technological ones. And let's not forget that throughout history, for anyone acting in multiple, sufficiently different communities, multilinguality has always been the norm. Your use of English is not going to make your use of German and French go away; the same holds for me; and this does not make us exceptions, this is the norm, this is what inevitably happens when people use language. Unilinguality is really an abstraction, a very useful one, but still an abstraction, and a pretty leaky one when you look at it closely.

It may be useful to mention that many towns up to the size of Rochester abolished their trolley systems around that time, even when traffic remained just as busy; there was a general decline of public transport systems (except in larger cities) because people would rely on private cars more and more.
