Go do theatersport or "impro". It may sound scary, but when in a small group without spectators, you start easy, make small steps, and it helps you get out of your shell. One of the mottos is "to fail with pleasure". You will fail here, and they design games where everybody will fail. You will practise rejection here. Plus you can practise social status with status games.
I had stage fright. In several weeks I'll do my second public show, for a small audience. It can really turn your view of yourself around.
You can read books about it, but you have to do it, experience it. It's much less frightening when you do it then you think, because of the small steps. But you need a good teacher here, one that knows what he does and has done it for years. In general, it's really fun!
I'm a Docker n00b, still don't know what it can do exactly. Can Docker replace Virtualbox? I guess only for Linux apps, and suppose it won't provide a GUI, won't run Windows to use Photoshop?!
Neighborhoods like Molenbeek are notorious, similar to banlieus in Paris and Lyon. They lost control over it, don't know what happens there. This is happening in all big cities, but it seems this is much worse here.
Belgium has big problems between the Flemish and French speaking parts, and particularly in Brussels it's politically very complicated. For some city wide measures, they need like 26 police commanders to agree. I don't know the numbers, but it's very complex to get all people in line. And I'm not talking about the people in the street, this is about city councils, police departments etc.
> - How come this happens again without anyone having seen it coming?
Knowing how Belgium handles their minorities in Brussels, it's not a big surprise.
The fact that this happens now is neither a surprise. Salah Abdeslam has been caught, and there were messages that he wanted to cooperate with the Belgium police. Whether it's true or not, if they were planning something, and he knew about it, waiting was not a real option.
I use my own wiki for everything I want to remember, and have used it as a GTD method. But in the end I moved away for GTD stuff. I used Chandler, and really liked it, but then it was abandoned. Then I used Quickfox Notes in Firefox to make a simple plaintext todo list. That works OK til now. Lately I've been using Evernote more and more, and now I mix them all more or less.
I've tried Emacs, tried the Eclipse todo, but neither caught on with me. I hear great things about Emacs and about Vim, and although I use Vim a lot to edit files on the server, I keep having difficulties changing to either of them for development. Maybe it's a matter of time.
I've tried the C1 to run JSPWiki on Tomcat, but it didn't work. I guess too little RAM. I'm sorry to see that there is nothing inbetween a C1 and a C2.
>> The glitch had been reported by drivers of new Volvos who said the engine could cut out without warning, creating a brief absence of steering and braking.
Created by Volvo - who wants to be death proof by 2020...
Great to see that China requested Apple to prove that the US government could not snoop data on their iPhones, while at the same time the US government is scared that China gets encryption keys.
It's not only the recent fight, but the way they implemented it in iPhone 6, with the Secure Enclave. The fact that they created something that is so secure that they cannot hack it themselves blew my mind.
Just one. I'm always very careful with it. The cable was still intact. One of the common problems many people have is with breaking cable, especially at the end of the adapter. I always make sure it has enough space.
If I were Leica and I could sell my camera as accessory in a fashion mall, why not? This tells me more about the people shopping there, than about Leica. It's probably not Leica positioning themselves there, but some smart business people seeing good margins.
> Leica reminds me of Apple, it's all about status and perceived value.
For me Apple stands for high quality products that really work. Just recently I sold a 7 year old Macbook for 250 euro. Back then it was the cheapest aluminium Macbook for about 1200 euro. The aluminium body was as new. I don't know any other laptop that looks like new after seven years of heavy use. Let alone that you can get 20% of the value back.
Take a look at the built quality: the body, keyboard, touchpad, power connector - this is design that works. It works for me at least, and I can't imagine that all these people I see nowadays with their really expensive laptops and iphones, that they still buy if for status.
Take my iPods. The first one, first generation touch, is still working as music player. The second broke after five years of living in my jeans with heat and cold, sweat and rain. I've used my first Mac, a G4 desktop, for 9 years.
All these were relatively expensive products, but totally worth the money.
I guess in this particular case, journalism, the reporter cannot work on any article or subject anymore. Almost all old cases and even related cases are probably covered by the old employer's magazines etc.
If you're a programmer, it means that you cannot work for a certain client, or even in a certain branch, but this case is so much broader.
So you want us to share our results? Then make it easy. Make a step by step guide. Include commands or scripts that we can execute. Show us what to upload where.
Take a common case scenario like with Ubuntu 14.04. Make screenshots of every step or copy every command you use in the terminal. Then you might get response.
