Curious why a blog / release post does not include a date, when did this occur?

Based on your experience, have you considered doing consultancy for companies migrating onto K8 etc? A consultant can easily invoice 1k a day for a week before the company decides it was sufficient.

The biggest concern is phones store location data in EXIF. It's likely cheaper for most websites to just strip everything rather than modifying those records alone.

Also if you throw a TIF(F) into Imagemagick and resize it the original image could be part of the EXIF data as a blob. (been a few years but I remember 400x400px images being 8mb the same as the original input)

I use the cheapest registrar I could find and manage the domains in AWS Route53. I found the workflow there nice.

To me it’s irrelevant which registrar as long as it’s cheap and I can change the name server

Awesome I hope it works out for you!

I signed up, the idea sounds cool. However I wouldn't focus on _only_ outdoor sports. I have my phases where I'm really into being outdoors and then periods where I just want to hangout in a bar.

The site and the description here kind of seems to shame people who enjoy being in a bar, for example:

or hang out with party-hard hostel crowd.

I'd recommend to focus on creating a community where remote workers can get in touch with each other and not too much on the activity they can or cannot do.

I hope around between two major EU cities and hanging out with other remote workers is definitely different. However I wouldn't want to ONLY go do an outdoor activity with people.

It should be possible to generate a Client from the Swagger (OpenAPI) specification. Pick a language you like, generate the client and setup the end-to-end (e2e) tests for the API.

In Go I do this for gRPC using the build-in unit tests of the language.

It'll be painful but once complete you can hammer away at the code with a sledgehammer and know you didn't break endpoints if the tests pass.

It looks interesting, I tried out the Python primer for a bit and decided to pre-order the CS course.

I do have to say (as explained in the comment here) that the chatbot doesn't understand your reply is a bit jarring but I think that'll work out.

The idea of generating a review notebook is pretty cool. Looking forward to try it out in the future more.

I personally think this just has to do with less openness from projects to talk to designers and/or UX designers. Most OSS projects are maintained by a small group that wants to do everything themselves and consider "modern" things as unneeded cruft.

This makes the step for a (UX) designer to propose to help a lot more difficult as rejection is high because besides them giving some input and maybe a few designs they cannot just do a PR where they send over some HTML/CSS that makes it better.

Also a programmer as a hobby can kickstart a project, find a buddy to help maybe on the UI a bit here and there and they call it a day.

Are you asking me or ABeeSea?

Threading to keep the brand/type the same.

I have a Panasonic GX85 / GX80 (depends on the market) which is a model inbetween the GX7 and GX8.

I started out with a GX1, loved it and eventually upgraded to this model. I have a Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4 which is an absolute dream to use. Also got a Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake which is great for travel.

I've considered a FF with a fixed 50mm lens as it's the focal length I use the most but... I'm so happy with the combo that I don't really see a reason to change.

Before I had a Canon 500D with an EF 27-80 f2.8 USM however the weight was actually insane (it was around 1.7kg) especially compared to what I have now. Yeah I could've put a prime lens, but the bulk would not have been worth it. Currently at 505gram for the body + 200gram for the lens.

2k max out of pocket expense to me sounds absolutely ludicrous.

In Germany you can have private health insurance (if you make more then 63k a year you can opt-out of public health insurance) and there the out of pocket is usually around €350. In the Netherlands the out of pocket is also something like €300, which most already consider too high.

The option to get it to zero is of course possible but usually doesn't offset the savings.

However the notion of having to need savings to be sick is... to me extremely foreign and strange.

Equity is not really as thing, most companies you end up working for are not publicly traded and if they are of that size they're generally not offering equity to hire you.

We tend to say: stock doesn't pay the rent.

Work to live, don't live to work.

Your company at the end of the day doesn't care about you, those 5 weeks you could've spend on a trip doing a hike or just chill on the beach. That is what you'll remember later in life. That deadline you crushed, your boss enjoyed but won't be remembered in a few years, and if your "team needed you" comes up, your company overworks you and needs to hire additional staff.

A lot of people confuse welfare with unemployment, I assume you mean that welfare isn't contribution based which is correct.

In some countries, e.g. NL/DE, unemployment however is contribution based and you always pay for it (it's tacked on next to your normal taxed), which when needed is limited to 2 years based on 60% of your last net income. The idea is that you should still be able to afford your current way of living without too many compromises when you got laid off and haven't found a new job yet.

In Germany for example welfare isn't great, it's around €400/mo though the state pays your rent directly.

Denmark and the Netherlands have the highest income tax bracket at 52/53%. Germany is 43%. However they are stacked taxes.

In Germany (where I reside), the first €9744 (2021) is untaxed, then 14% until a certain amount (can't find it atm) and max 43%. However, if you do your tax returns your effective tax rate will drop significantly. I'd wager that most pay around 25% in total income taxes, excluding things like the health insurance and other taxes.

However, we indeed do not worry about saving up money to put our kids through school.

Earning 65k which what most companies in the tech scene now offer to lure them in as a SWE in Germany is a great salary realistically, considering for example an architect with a masters degree will earn around 55k and no real improvement in sight.

Also don't forget to factor in that the concept of being fired for PROPER reason is nearly impossible in most European countries. Even if an employer hits hard times they cannot just lay off an entire department to quickly green out the numbers in the books, there needs to be proper grounds. I currently need to give my employer 3 months notice before I can even leave, same goes for them to me.

If the goal is B2B server-to-server I would recommend to look at gRPC+Protobuf as typing is enforced. Also incrementing your API while keeping the old one around is relatively easy to do.

“Correct” is a strong word. It isn’t defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 so Excel should not try to be smart and add extensions only they support.

Interesting article, I grew up in Amsterdam and have been biking most of my life. As I moved to Berlin I didn't for the first few years as the roads just weren't up for it. At some point I ordered a MTB online, got me back into biking for enjoyment (as opposed to commuting), however quickly noticed a gravel bike would make more sense. I bought a gravel bike from a LBS and sold my MTB, however the service was absolute garbage. Everyone who worked there had no clue and were purely box movers.

I would love to find a local bike shop that cares, but seeing everyone and their dog in Berlin bikes to commute nowadays the LBS have their customers for the choosing. A friend actually dropped off his bike 4 (!!!) weeks ago at a LBS because he had a crash with a car and needed to know what was actually broken, they called today to let him know it was ready for pickup, just to be called that they couldn't order the part they needed to repair it.

Sadly, a lot of shops are like this, so the author of the article is correct in choosing his audience. I know a lot of guys I ride with who refuse to spend 15% markup more to get it local and installed directly but will whine endlessly because they can't do it themselves.

I took it on myself to be able to maintain my entire bike myself, which works well too. Sure it was a pain to figure it out but the gratification is worth it too and now I feel confident that on a longer ride (I prefer multi-day) I can repair the bike on the side of the road without stressing out.

The market also shifted, many tech from MTB transferred to road/gravel like thru-axles and disc-brakes. Parts are dropping in price, but if you have an "older" bike it's more of a pain. I opted to go for an "entry" bike with thru-axle, 105 and disc-brakes. I replaced almost every "cheap" component and sold it used for nearly the same price as the sale component cost.

However if a LBS would be as good as my local car shop I'd be there more often then I'd have to be... he did say he considered getting into repairing bikes as cars are less popular, and I figure if you can service a V12 how hard can a RD be?

I don't have any sources at hand but basically every existing platform in the past used to charge a fee for releasing on their platform. Nintendo certainly did on their consoles, Windows effectively did by charging for the SDK's. Both Microsoft and Sony also charge for publishing to their stores for the respective consoles.

Apple (and Google) both give the SDK away for free and for a low fee you can publish to the platform and in exchange they handle the payment etc. 30% sounds like a lot but if you consider the cost of having to deal with a payment provider and maintaining it etc it's for most companies a no brainer and peanuts.

You can setup an SSH tunnel to your remote machine. Some DB explorers offer this tunneling out of the box (e.g. Sequel Pro for Mac).
