Unsure how long ago this was, but I recently registered with KvK and didn't have to show up at all, just pay 80-ish euros.
I live in a dense European city and all I ever do is order groceries online. I can order larger amounts in one go, so, batch order once every two weeks or so. Instead of having to fight with a machine to give back my…
As someone who is a chronic procrastinator, and has diagnosed ADHD, I relate to this. While yes, scrapping tasks and limiting concurrent in-progress todo's helps with peace of mind and feelings of guilt, I am…
I mean, same story in Belgium, The Netherlands, and (I'm gonna assume) every other EU government. Specifically for The Netherlands, https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/demystifying-european-digi... is a good read, from…
While I don't disagree with the general statement, I do want to add the nuance that this isn't true for small amounts of cash money. Recently, the government even recommended people to keep more cash on hand in case of…
Goes even further than purely French speaking, we do the exact same thing in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium!
I really enjoyed it when ConcernedApe added a journal to stardew valley: per villager it keeps track of which gifts they enjoyed. Practically it's not all that different than looking that information up on a wiki, but…
Tangentially related: I've been struggling with the decision to go for the technical track or the management track in my current org. I'm lucky to work in a company that has a technical ladder (though one can certainly…
Belgium and The Netherlands have it too, though it's optional. Most mortgages have a 30 year runtime with a 10 year fixed rate. The longer your fixed rate, the higher the rate becomes. For the Netherlands: While it…
Yeah, I'm not going back either. Worked remotely for a few years. Got impacted by lay-offs and joined a hybrid company. Would still have been able to work 4 days from home, and 1 from the office. Went to the office 4…
Spain does it, Portugal does it. Sweden does it.
1. AI/ML stuff. I'm very much of the "let's get stuff shipped" persuasion, but also like to understand the basics. So, no deep math here, but, incremental building blocks, focussing on how to deploy and maintain…
And to give an anecdotal counterpoint: I live in (relatively speaking because small country) the middle of nowhere in the Netherlands, I have 8+ charging stations (each with at least 2 chargers) in my small town and a…
Another recommendation for Dungeon Alchemist, simply because it saves me time. I love drawing intricate maps, but I just don't have the time for it any more (though DA definitely allows you to still do that, just not…
Totally agreed. I just decided for my own sanity that some things just aren't worth arguing about. Obviously I have opinions on my tools, but I'm not going to force my preferences on others, or spend energy endlessly…
This won't be valid for everyone, but I'm getting more and more convinced that most (a lot of?) people don't "work" work 40 hours anyway. I'm not even mentally capable of doing 40 intense hours of focussed work. Not…
It might not be very interesting, but it sure is exciting.
Started working remotely during the pandemic and enjoy it so much that I don't want to go back. Bought a house in a more remote place due to remote work and opportunities to be closer to family. This puts a natural…
Same here. It's also nice that I happen to live in a country that gives a tax break on your (monetary, not stock) income, so that makes the choice for money even easier. Reinvest it in an index fund, and forget about…
