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!

> Faster and more reliable: no more VirtualBox!

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.

Brussels itself resembles the EU in this respect.

> - 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.

> Maybe they're just another empire, and not so evil.

They are just another empire. Enter the new world! This is the smartphone and cloud era!

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.

This sums it all up!

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.

Can somebody explain what this means? I'm still confused. Firmware lockdown, does it mean I can't install dd-wrt or something? Any other consequenses?

Thanks for this explanation. Does Android have anything like this?

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.
