Editorial 39.2

Dear reader,

Just before the holidays start, a new edition of the I/O Vivat falls on your digital doormat. Due to budgetary constraints, mostly the ever-increasing prices of PostNL, we have had to change the I/O Vivat to a digital-first publication. The Vivat will be published 3/4 times a year in its digital form: both as a .pdf sent to your e-mail box, and as blogposts on this digital platform which we are glad you have found!

In addition to our digital publications, the I/O Vivat will be published in its familiar physical version at least once a year.

This publication contains articles about the cryptography behind cryptocurrency, how AI can help you in becoming a better Pokémon trainer and in generating art and an explanation about the Pareto principle to make you a better investor. Furthermore, we have columns from our Programme Director, the ENIAC board, and the candidate board of Inter-Actief. Look backs on popular activities that were organized by Inter-Actief, such as Pandora and Hephaestus symposium. We once again give our previous chief editor a podium, allowing him to explain his work on making the web more accessible to everyone for the municipality. Last but not least, we visit Ecare, a company that specializes in software development for which develops software for use in hospitals. Happy reading :).

We thank you for reading the I/O Vivat!
