re-implementing linux

reading WHO's mentions of nCoV, they're using the phrase "(disease) transmission amplification event" New way to describe conferences!

you, a normal person: "probably I need to pay 50% in advance and 50% immediately after it's done, right? that's fair" million$ dollar businesses: nice work, lgtm, hopefully we'll remember to pay in 90 days

apparently a recent law limited the local practice of businesses paying suppliers a lot after they deliver a service (+90 days), so I could argue this case also falls under it (not an exact fit, but it's close).

I was so anxious for using an expensive AWS instance for a few days, my bill is apparently a whooping $4.82

I thought "I could pay for luggage on ryanair, but then I'd have my luggage exactly measured. I'm going to pay more for this company that lets everything slide"

brussels airport does luggage drop off by airport (not airline) staff, so it negates my "pay more to have a pretend low-cost flight, without precise luggage measurement" Fortunately I look innocent enough to get away with a 9kg suitcase and 5kg backpack on a 8kg allowance.

the question was, "is not refunding expenses in a timely manner legal?" and the answer is "there are no laws regarding it, so probably based on legal precedents".

it's time for everyone's favourite pastime: "is my workplace violating local laws?"

fosdem kinda sucks. I think I'll stay home next time.

I walked from ulb to avenue louise following people I assumed knew the entrance to a secret underground place where there are trains

I got so lost I got to a familiar place again

Me and getting lost in Brussels, name a more iconic duo

"Reviving minitel" I'm just going to sit outside until @fcambus comes out

Fosdem is too complicated, I'm just sitting outside now (also walking hurts)

@YouriMouton @bentsukun @softocelot

anyone at brussels wanna meet?

As is tradition, I started my stay by walking 1km in the opposite direction to my hotel carrying heavy ass luggage

Hello from Brussels
