Je leest het toch echt goed. Realityster Kim Kardashian komt voorbij deze aflevering. Zij moet namelijk beursbedrijf Nike gaan redden, maar die reddingspoging wordt vertraagd. Fed-baas Jerome Powell moet op zijn beurt de rente verlagen (van Trump), maar doet dat niet. Maar er is niet alleen slecht nieuws voor de Amerikaanse president, maar ook voor jou als belegger. Wat dat is, dat hoor je deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook meer over het dramatische jaar voor Randstad. Dat is na vandaag een stukje erger geworden en dat heeft te maken met een concurrent. Die verpest het voor Randstad..Shell verpest op zijn beurt dan weer de overnamefantasie van BP. Shell lijkt niet geïnteresseerd in de concurrent. Maar sluit overnames dan weer niet uit. Verder hebben we het over Microsoft. Dat geeft zo veel geld uit aan kunstmatige intelligentie, dat andere onderdelen nu getroffen worden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sinds 2014 was Holland Fintech dé vaste waarde in het Nederlandse fintech-ecosysteem. Bekend van talloze meetups en evenementen, maar afgelopen zomer werd het ineens stil rondom deze netwerkclub voor innovatieve bedrijven in de financiële waardeketen. Wat is er gebeurd? De Nieuwe Knikkers spreken met Douwe Lycklama, bestuurder van het eerste uur, en Erik van der Mars, de relatief nieuwe kracht binnen het team. Zij vertellen openhartig over de uitdagende periode die Holland Fintech doormaakte. Maar ze brengen ook goed nieuws: de vereniging is terug met een nieuwe naam – Holland Fintech Association – een gloednieuwe website en meer ambitieuze plannen dan ooit. Met trots presenteren Douwe en Erik "Holland Fintech 2.0". De behoefte aan een sterk netwerk om kennis te delen en nieuwe samenwerkingen aan te gaan is er namelijk nog altijd, en de vernieuwde vereniging speelt hierin een centrale rol. Holland Fintech Association is relevanter dan ooit en klaar om opnieuw het Nederlandse fintech-landschap te verbinden.  Meer over de Holland Fintech Association en de aankomende events lees je hier!   ----------------------------- Deze aflevering is mede-mogelijk gemaakt door Endava, software engineering for a digital age.

We hebben alweer een gast in de show. De gast van vandaag kan niet zo hard fietsen als Bart Lemmen, maar het scheelt niet veel. Het eerste kwartiertje is professor in de geologie Douwe van Hinsbergen te gast. Je kent hem wel van de filmpjes die hij onder andere voor de NOS maakt en gaan over de geologie van de etappe. Daarnaast kan Douwe kei- en keihard fietsen (40 gemiddeld, koekoek) maar in de tijd waar hij een carrière voor prof had kunnen maken, zat hij in de kroeg...Als we afscheid van Douwe hebben genomen, vertelt Herman over zijn valpartij vandaag in de omgeving van Berg en Dal. Op een oud karrenspoor ging hij 'op z'n appel', zoals hij het zelf omschrijft.Shownotes:De Twitter-pagina van GeoSportsDe zeer uitgebreide website van GeoSportsHet Strava-account van Douwe - Pogi - van HinsbergenNuttige links:Volg ons WhatsApp-kanaalVolg ons op InstagramVolg Martijn en Herman op StravaSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tweewielers.

Geologen zijn van groot belang om ons te beschermen tegen de natuurproblemen die ons te wachten staan op aarde. Dat stelt Douwe van Hinsbergen, hoogleraar mondiale tektoniek en paleogeografie aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Tijdens De Nacht van NTR Wetenschap vertelt hij over zijn onderzoek naar bewegingen van aardplaten, het ontstaan van bergen en vulkanen en de video's die hij maakt over de geologie langs de route van de Tour de France. Van Hinsbergen hoopt zijn fascinatie voor de omgeving over te brengen op het publiek en hen te informeren over onze afhankelijkheid van de aarde waarop we leven.

I first met Douwe and his wife Naomi on my first trip to Stoneleigh.  He was one of the judges that year and understandably quite busy. So while we made plans to do the interview then, it didn't work out. Last year, however, Douwe was back, but this time as part of the Dutch team and he had a little bit more time, so he made it happen. You'll hear us briefly allude to it in the conversation, but there is a great story that exemplifies how tough and determined Douwe is as a competitor.  Through Danny Bennett's military-like leadership as the chief steward, he might have even been in the military now that I think of it, the volunteers worked diligently to get the competition arena set up early on the afternoon before so the teams could practice. Team Holland was one of the first to arrive and take advantage of this. Douwe was building a shoe with a striker and something went wrong with the rhythm, causing his hammer to recoil off the sledgehammer and hit him right in the face below the eye. I just happened to be watching as it occurred. Everyone stopped and held their breath. Douwe's striker looked horrified. Douwe touched his face and asked, Is there blood? His partner shook his head and said no. And Douwe said, "Okay, good. Let's go" and carried on. Needless to say, if I ever end up in a bar fight, I hope this man is on my side.  During our conversation, we touched on several topics, including how he and his wife Naomi run two separate shoeing businesses, where they specialize in different areas and use different shoeing techniques. We talk about their bad run of luck after the previous year's Stoneleigh with a house fire, and we talk about his unique side hustle that brought him to North America long before he started competing on this side of the pond.  Anyway, it's always a pleasure to run into this man and I'm glad we were able to do this. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Hij wordt ook wel de geheugenprofessor genoemd, met zijn onophoudelijke fascinatie voor herinneringen en hoe die ons maken tot wie we zijn. In zijn nieuwste boek, De man die zijn hoofd verloor, laat psycholoog Douwe Draaisma aan de hand van literaire verhalen zien wat wanen en illusies zijn. Pieter van der Wielen praat met Draaisma over hoe je in een waan je verstand juist wél gebruikt, waarom we nauwelijks tijdsbesef hebben in eentonige periodes als lockdowns en hoe we ons geheugen zijn, terwijl onze herinneringen vaak helemaal niet kloppen.Presentatie: Pieter van der Wielen Redactie: Anouk van Kampen & Mira Zeehandelaar Mixage: Audiochef Muziek: Rufus van Baardwijk Foto: Kees van de VeenHeeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Lotje IJzermans gaat met Douwe Draaisma in gesprek.

Douwe Maan's journey sounds too fantastic to be true, yet the tale that Meltano's founder shares with Jason and Patrick today is very, very real. Whether it's about doing software development by 11, joining Gitlab while juggling college responsibilities, or building his own company during today's challenging times, he has quite the story to tell. In today's episode, he speaks on Twitter, his perspective on remote work, and why data operations are a critical part of developer stacks in today's world.00:01:00 Introductions00:03:44 Hustling online at 1100:08:08 From iOS to web-based development00:10:20 How Douwe balanced school and work00:12:05 Sid Sijbrandij00:19:13 Why Twitter was integral in Douwe's journey00:21:01 What Meltano offers for data teams00:22:01 Remote work00:30:59 Gitlab's data team and what they do00:44:40 What tools do data engineers use00:47:40 Singer00:50:26 Game designer travails00:58:59 Where data operations come in01:05:12 Getting started with Meltano01:12:00 Meltano as a company01:22:09 FarewellsResources mentioned in this episode:Douwe Maan: Website: https://douwe.me/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/douwem GitLab: https://github.com/DouweM Meltano: Website: https://meltano.com/ Careers: https://boards.greenhouse.io/meltano Singer:Website: https://www.singer.io/ Mergify:Website: https://mergify.com/ If you've enjoyed this episode, you can listen to more on Programming Throwdown's website: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/Reach out to us via email: programmingthrowdown@gmail.comYou can also follow Programming Throwdown on Facebook | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Player.FM Join the discussion on our DiscordHelp support Programming Throwdown through our Patreon ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Door een nieuwe methode kunnen we het zeeniveau tot 540 miljoen jaar geleden vaststellen. Wat blijkt? Deze oude oceaanbodem heeft belangrijke lessen voor de wereld van nu.  Hoe hoog of laag de oceaanbodem is wordt bepaald door de platentektoniek (of aardplaten) en door het klimaat. Deze twee kennisbronnen zijn nu voor het eerst samengevoegd waardoor onderzoekers miljoenen jaren terug in de tijd kunnen kijken. Douwe van der Meer, geoloog aan de Universiteit van Utrecht, ontwikkelde deze methode samen met andere onderzoekers uit Engeland en Amerika. Hij legt uit hoe ze dit hebben gedaan én hoe kennis van het zeeniveau van miljoenen jaren geleden kan bijdragen aan meer bewustwording over de huidige klimaatcrisis.

In this extra special episode of the TWIML AI Podcast, a friend of the show John Bohannon leads a jam-packed conversation with Hugging Face's recently appointed head of research Douwe Kiela. In our conversation with Douwe, we explore his role at the company, how his perception of Hugging Face has changed since joining, and what research entails at the company. We discuss the emergence of the transformer model and the emergence of BERT-ology, the recent shift to solving more multimodal problems, the importance of this subfield as one of the “Grand Directions'' of Hugging Face's research agenda, and the importance of BLOOM, the open-access Multilingual Language Model that was the output of the BigScience project. Finally, we get into how Douwe's background in philosophy shapes his view of current projects, as well as his projections for the future of NLP and multimodal ML.

Hoe is het nu met ... ? opgenomen 8 juni 2022 Klaas Droog - De Mar Bas Braaksma - Openr Jan-Douwe Gaastra - Facilitee

Douwe Maan started programming when he was 9 years old, and grew up with his Dad pushing Linux on him over Windows. He was raised in the Netherlands, outside of Amsterdam. How he recharges outside of technology is traveling to new places. Prior to his current venture, he joined, as employee number 10, for Gitlab. The company is the largest all remote company, which allowed for him to be a digital nomad, which roundabout, led him to meet his wife, get married, and live in Mexico City.Since 2018, there was a team inside of Gitlab working on a project to bring the same principles and methodologies from software development, into designing and maintaining data architecture. By that time, Douwe was craving the early stage startup feel. Through some changes in Gitlab, he was tasked to lead the team of reviving the project, which eventually led to it becoming its own thing.This is the creation story of Meltano.SponsorsImmediateOrbitPostmarkStytchVerb DataWebapp.ioLinksWebsite: https://meltano.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douwem/https://douwe.me/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

About Douwe Mann:Born and raised in the Netherlands, Douwe Maan was introduced to computers early by his father, and picked up programming at the age of nine. While studying at Utrecht University, Douwe co-founded a SaaS startup that grew to $150k in ARR, which led to him joining GitLab in 2015 as employee number 10 after landing the parents of its CEO as customers. After graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Douwe spent six months traveling the world, visiting and working with 49 colleagues in 14 countries on 5 continents. In early 2020, Douwe took over as the General Manager of GitLab's internal Meltano project, which quickly gained traction and spun out of GitLab in early 2021 to become an independent startup under Douwe's leadership. Douwe currently lives in Mexico City with his wife, who he met while traveling the world, and their two cats.About Meltano:Meltano is an open source data operations platform that supports data integration connectors for over 300 sources and destinations. Originally an internal project within GitLab, Meltano spun out in early 2020 to become an independent startup with $4.2 million in seed funding from investors, led by Alphabet's GV. Today, Meltano has thousands of active monthly projects and is looking to bring the benefits of open source data integration and DataOps to a wider audience.
