We’re thrilled to announce our new series of blog posts based on our live Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions! At Trifork, we often host renowned software experts as part of our collaborative initiative with GOTO Conferences. During these sessions, GOTO experts are invited to answer questions on topics related to programming and software. These subjects […]
The Power of LMS Integration
A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software (web-based) application that supports a company’s educational efforts—particularly, its training and eLearning initiatives. Organizations can upload relevant content onto the platform, where employees can engage with it and start their learning journey. Using an LMS, learner progress can be tracked, with progress indicators available to show how […]
We’re moving to a new office!
The past year has posed challenging times for everyone, both in a personal and professional sense. With the light at the end of the tunnel getting closer, Trifork has news that makes that light shine even brighter (at least we think so!). It’s out with the old, and in with the new: Trifork Amsterdam is […]
Transforming exams
As the traditional pen and paper exams have slowly been replaced by computers either on location or remotely, the need for tools to combat cheating has become a necessity to ensure the integrity of the exam results. Although one would hope moral values would discourage one from cheating when in an exam setting faced with […]
Linux homedir encryption
ZFS features (excerpt) Snapshots and clones. Useful for e.g. docker and system backups. Copy-on-write (making snapshots initially zero-cost). Raid. Encryption. SSD caching. See more on the ZFS wiki page (features) or this reddit post. Ubuntu has released Focal Fossa (20.04) and as I had just acquired my new laptop, I decided to test it out. Getting a software […]
Functional Friction
“I studied politics” she said. “The study of political systems”. Always interesting to ask people you meet for the first time, what they have done before working in IT. Brilliant lady, impressive, responsible for digital in a lot of countries. We talked about outsourcing, if there is a future for outsourcing, and what that would look like. […]
Innovation across Silos
There I was, walking with my cannister with 5 liters of gasoline alongside the Zuidas in Amsterdam. The warmest day of the last 50 years, dressed in a black suit. Friendly folks in Tesla’s waving and smiling at me. Temperature close to 40 degrees Celsius, 104 F. Absolutely soaking wet, ruining a still perfectly good […]
AI-powered empathy for customer contact
One of those friends you meet more often while travelling than at home. Cool guy, working for MS, hotel near Solna, Stockholm. We were having dinner – fish, 3 carrots- and finished off with some decent wine, rather expensive in Sweden. He told me about his most recent fight with his wife in their last […]
Double proud
Silence before the storm moment. 0800 on our new 3rd floor, all fresh, all new. The room for the masterclass was ready, tables, chairs and as we’re in Amsterdam: lots of coffee. Test the projector, plenty of post-its, all sharpies in place. The start of a masterclass that we do more and more: explaining Artificial […]
Experience Magenta
“Can you help my VP to better understand the importance of people over tech?” Interesting question from one of my old managers. Sure, if I can help, happy to have a coffee. Interesting setting, outskirts of Cologne, Germany. New building, all ornaments pink. Pink like my gin. We started with a coffee, and I asked […]
