Koning wilde niet dat Roger Lallemand minister van Staat werdThierry Debels
In de laatste jaren van het leven van Boudewijn koelt de relatie tussen de vorst en de politici verder af. Aan politicus Roger Lallemand (PS), indiener van de abortuswet, vraagt de vorst of er nog nieuwe ethische wetsvoorstellen in de lade zitten.
Boudewijn vertelt Lallemand dat hij gelijkaardige wetten, bijvoorbeeld op het vlak van euthanasie, evenmin zal ondertekenen.
In 2002 wordt Lallemand minister van Staat. Zeer tegen de zin van koning Albert en Jacques van Ypersele. Die laatste probeert het lang tegen te houden. Tevergeefs. Liberale politici zoals Louis Michel en Guy Verhofstadt zullen zwaar lobbyen voor Lallemand.
Roger Lallemand stond in 1990 met Lucienne Herman-Michielsens aan de wieg van de wet op de depenalisering van abortus. Hij was het ook die het debat over euthanasie op het goede spoor bracht.
Maar koning Albert II wilde niets weten van een beloning voor Roger Lallemand. Hij geloofde volgens een paleismedewerker dat het ‘een bezoedeling zou zijn van de nagedachtenis van zijn overleden broer’.
Maar de regering bleef lobbyen voor de benoeming van Roger Lallemand. En, verrassend, de steun voor de socialist kwam eigenlijk van de liberalen. Vooral Guy Verhofstadt trok aan de kar. Albert bleef dwarsliggen: ‘Je kunt me alles vragen, maar niet dit!’ zei de koning.
En in januari 2002 nog tijdens een gesprek: ‘Ik kan dat niet doen, en ik zal het niet doen.’ Het gesprek sleept uren aan. Uiteindelijk capituleerde de vorst en gaf hij met tegenzin zijn goedkeuring. Misschien is dat laatste wél het verschil met zijn broer Boudewijn. Die capituleerde niet.

Everyone’s talking about in-memory these days, and the term has become synonymous with speed. But pinning data into memory is just the beginning, and it’s about more than speed. In-memory solutions need a tailored architecture, one that can take full advantage RAM processing from every aspect, and this requires an approach that considers memory and CPU from the ground-up.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear from veteran Analyst Robin Bloor as he explains how memory is on the fast track to supersede disk, at least with respect to advanced analytics. He’ll be briefed by Kognitio CTO Roger Gaskell, who pioneered the in-memory analytical platform since its inception in 1989. He will also discuss how this type of solution changes the landscape for the modern data architecture and its impact on advanced analytical capabilities.

Microservices are definitively one of 2016 buzzwords. In this presentation I try to give an understandable definition and my pros/cons about this architectural pattern.

Why Dentists should sink their Teeth into Social MediaGreg Fry
Social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and LinkedIn present a great marketing opportunity for dentists. However in order to successful you must be strategic and have a clear plan.
Technical Debt - The number one reason why technical projects get derailedAccesto
A couple of years ago we had a very successful product - a game hosting management panel. Over the years our client database grew and we introduced support for new games and new features.
That was our first product, and it became quite popular. At one point it was used by the majority of game hosting providers in Poland.
But then, here’s what happened: as our client database quickly grew and we extended the application’s functionality, we consciously started taking shortcuts. Sometimes because of time constraints, other times we just thought it was the smart thing to do.
With time it got harder and harder to fix the bugs and introduce new features. We had been adding fuel to the fire without noticing it. And then, one day, we just realized the product was not profitable anymore due to its technical debt. The expenses of maintaining the product outgrew the profits it had been bringing in.
