Thanks for the tip. The bike I purchased was a Trek District 1. I love it. When I was looking for what to buy, my other options were the Trek District+ 1/2.

Yeah, The Netherlands is flat, which helps a lot, but I live in Scheveningen, really close to some hills! Still, at least I'm getting plenty of exercise, no matter how lazy I am sometimes :)

That's excellent news.

I've just learned to bike (I've been living in the Netherlands for over 3 years and just months ago started biking), and I deeply regret not getting an e-bike.

I also bought a car last year (EV / Tesla). Coming from a culture where biking isn't that popular, I was in doubt about whether to get an e-bike or a regular bike. I decided to go with the cheaper option (because I also have a car), and thanks to the fact the Netherlands is flat, I can do most day chores now by riding my bike... but... if I had opted to get the e-bike, I'd actually only be using the car when the weather is pretty bad and when I want to travel to someplace really far away.

People underestimate how useful a bike (and, especially, an e-bike) is. With the right infrastructure, at least!

Location: The Netherlands

Remote: Preferred

Willing to relocate: within the Netherlands / I am available to travel regularly

Technologies: Go, PostgreSQL, Linux, open-source software, Kubernetes.

Résumé/CV: https://henvic.dev/resume.pdf

Email: henriquevicente@gmail.com

I am available immediately.

I seek new opportunities to work with Go / open-source. I'm a software engineer with 15+ years of experience, 8+ years of experience with Go, and plenty of experience working on challenging projects on startups. #golang #opensource

I was there in 2017. It's really awesome! https://flickr.com/photos/henriquev/34177641420/

How about just cutting taxes? Damn politicians love to rob Peter to pay Paul so much...

I like road trips. I've done quite a bit both by myself and with friends.

If you read the text and have an urge to travel, please make sure to be safe. It's extremely easy to get out of the beaten path and get in trouble. I've had a couple of close calls in the desert in my early 20s (I'm 34 now), which I deeply regret.

Always have plenty of water (for multiple days if it's dry/too hot/too cold) and capable communication devices (and a smartphone won't cut it in the middle of a desert).

I don't know what to think of this post, but...

IKEA is struggling to build decent quality software, from what I've heard: Too much bureaucracy and top-down structure making everything slow/awkward.

I've applied for a position there twice after hearing from recruiters, and my impression is that they're a bit lost on how to build stuff, and not helping themselves...

wow! The trolling escalated quickly! Are you trying to demonstrate his point?

Uh? What about costs related to payment processing, time lost, and the fact that if you don't have a big stock maybe you even made a new order for new books when they shouldn't?

There are so many reasons why this kind of behavior is toxic... If the intention was to keep the books, but for some reason they decided to return it, that's fine. Even buying thinking you might end up having to return it is still fine, mostly. However, buying with the sole purpose of lending for free, especially from a small business, is awful.

Geez. It seems you've no idea how a business is run.

I've my Tesla since 15/12, and keep my garage remote in the glove box for safety. I'm probably overthinking it, and should keep it in the center console, though. Especially because I live in a condo, and dozens of other people have access to the garage anyways.

Want to study one? Good. Go find it. Let people who have them alone.

I loved the timing restriction. So bad I can end up working on unusual hours sometimes, or I'd consider doing the same.

I use the guest Wi-Fi strategy with the company computer isolated from the rest of my network, thinking mostly about my own privacy.

I can't do much in terms of personal usage of my company issued laptop (MacBook M1 Max Pro), so I never use it for anything personal, and even stuff like +1 a comment on a public GitHub repository for a random opensource project that we might use and that I discover while working I prefer to just reopen the link with my personal computer and do so. I've no personal accounts for anything whatsoever configured on my machine.

I don't think this should be the default for everyone, though. These limitations depends on the industry you're in, and your actual security risks/exposure.

For a moment, I thought the article would be about ORM. oh, is it? :P

1. Thinking avoiding (legally or not) paying taxes) for not agreeing with what the state does makes you someone who identifies as a sovereign citizen makes no sense. There are more than enough sane moral/ethical reasons why someone might want to avoid that... while still living in society and being a productive member of it. We're constantly sold the statism Kool-Aid that paying taxes is sacred and to turn a blind eye to how the money is used, but this is just not right. 2. He isn't even abusing anything. The state is abusing people's wealth, on the other hand.

Good for him. Creating wealth making everyone's life better and avoiding his money is used in murdering people overseas in wars or sending people who committed victimless 'crimes' such as trading marijuana to the prison for life.

It's incredible how long it took for them to provide remote logout. More even incredible, how other web services for more serious stuff (rather than entertainment) still don't provide this feature.

Suing on what base? It doesn't make any sense.

I hope Copilot and similar technologies weakens the copyright establishment.

oh, it's just a small project I created, and that I hope not too many people use as I prefer pure SQL queries... so hopefully this doesn't create a big confusion.

Also, they are for very different stuff.. and it's hard coming up with a small easy name that hasn't been used by anything else nowadays.

I'm not a big fan of query builders, but I'm worried about the number of people using ORMs, and I think if they just used a query builder instead, things would be much better. So I decided to fork Squirrel and make it a little bit more attractive for people using PostgreSQL and pgx to give people looking for an alternative to writing vanilla SQL queries...

That said, you can go a long way writing your own simple pure SQL queries, so prefer that over using a query builder :)

> how do you imagine clothes will last longer?

From my own experience + the fact that it dries at a much lower temperature.

Nope. I waste barely no space with my heat pump dryer. I can have my clothes dried outside quickly. I still can use my balcony for recreation rather than as an extension to the service area. I probably spend €15 a month drying everything I use, no big deal.

Get a heat pump dryer and you'll have the convenience and it'll probably cost only 30% of what it used to cost you.

Bad choice nonetheless. Get a heat pump dryer and you'll save a lot and your clothes will last longer.

It must be a property owner prerogative to decide whether or not hang laundry to dry outside their houses.

That said, I also feel like that's a poor choice considering you can now get a A+++ heat pump dryer that's very economical and works quite fast (slightly more time than with a convention dryer, but your clothes will last much longer) anytime (as long as it's not stuck in a icy cold basement) regardless the weather.

Another mistake some people make is using an all-in-one washer/dryer: they are the worst option ever. Terrible at everything by design.

How the hell do you end up with 1644 vulnerable packages anyways?

* rhetorical question, JS...

It was actually one of the main drivers for me to start using Go instead of JavaScript for server-side applications and CLIs about 8 years ago.

Apple gives you the option to adopt or not. EU thugs, not.

> The EU is mandating technological stagnation. They will always be behind the market.

Well said!

I've played with trying to create an idiomatic wrapper for their Go module precisely because of this reason, but then didn't find time to continue with this.
