The Channel9 programming languages guys to watch: Eric and Erik

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/05

When watching the episodes of Eric and Erik,

They both worked on the C# team, but have lots of experience designing and developing other languages.

Their views of the languages, teams and companies that make software today is enlightening as basically more and more companies should be software companies but forgot they are.

I’ve been advocating this to both large and small companies since the mid 1990s and by now you see the people getting it are having a blast.

When you look at the language leve, you clearly see how slowly progress is made and how far most languages are behind. I think both the JVM, CLR, LLVM and JavaScript are the foundations to base on but that tooling is still very much in its infancy.

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/05

Reminder to self to check out when [Archive.isFormatSettings global variable of type [WayBackTFormatSettings was deprecated as it was only documented as of Delphi 2010 but available much much earlier.

Ever figured out how costly meetings are?

Netgate SG-3100 is an ARM based pfSense Firewall Appliance

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/04

By now I should have had plenty of time to try out an ARM based pfSense multi-WAN router like the [WayBack]  Netgate SG-3100 is an ARM based pfSense Firewall Appliance.

So this is a reminder for myself to write down more detailed experiences than the summary at [WayBack]Netgate SG-3100 pfSense Security Gateway Appliance.

It is in the Mikrotik price range, but each time I use those I bump into mysterious RouterOS issues that only I seem to have.

Maatvoering metselwerk

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/01

Eén van de onderdelen van een goede werkvoorbereiding is de maatvoering van het metselwerk. Aan de hand van de maatvoering van de het te bouwen object is het van belang het metselwerk hier in maatvoering op af te stemmen. Het afstemmen van de maatvoering van de baksteen en voeg is voor zowel in de lengte als hoogte richting van een gevel essentieel. Voor informatie over maatvoering van de baksteen door jou gekozen, kun je hier contact opnemen.
