There was a comment here claiming that doing your own wiring is illegal in the Netherlands, but it was (rightly) deleted. It is completely legal to do. I do my own wiring too; it's not hard to do this safely in most of Europe.

No. This is a very complicated domain due to the stringent legal requirements (which vary by country of course). Also, going in to healthcare software would trigger anti-trust lawsuits in a number of regions.

Read a bit in bed before sleeping, make this a daily habit; leave all electronic devices outside of your bedroom. No screens in bed; let your mind learn to accept that. Start with books you can focus on now, gradually move on to more comp

Nothing professional; just sketches for personal projects in and around the house. Usually fairly detailed, but mostly useful to get a sense of proportion and to design the basic layout of things like built-in closets. Inkscape's snapp

There is a lot in this release that I'll readily use. Pinned colours and font collections in particular seem useful, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the improved node deletion logic works too. Deleting nodes used to have uni

A fun thing they show in the animations is how you can do basic arithmetic in the size fields. So if you've setup your document in millimetres (I do this for woodworking designs) and you have a shape with width 5mm you can do this:

That's just because the physical shop closed in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings, not because the bicycles were repossessed. If VanMoof does go tits-up, these bicycles will still belong to their owners. It sucks not to be able

Good of someone to step in and provide that. It shouldn't take a third party though.

Interesting view of the Netherlands, but you can't reach most of the ten largest cities in the Netherlands within 30 minutes by train or 90 by bicycle from most of the other cities. Eindhoven, Groningen, Tilburg, Breda, Nijmegen are al

The tiny town (not village) of Stavoren is fortunate enough to actually have a train station (not to mention a ferry link to Enkhuizen). That it still has a train link is a miracle in itself. A lot of those lines were on a razor's edge

This is why for this kind of map the geography is usually left as-is in one of the usual common projections, with a colour scale marking the time-distance, rather than distorting the geography.

She. If you are unsure of a person's gender, just use 'they', but don't assume it's a man. In this case the pronouns are right there on the top of the blog though (as well used in the article).

Also passkeys, and, very crude but effective, using a browser plugin for TOTP or a compatible password manager on your laptop/workstation.

Definitely. It's just so much easier to have a policy of 'no company data on personal devices' and just hand out the devices people need for their work. Easy to explain to auditors too (think ISO 27001). For devs and support

I like this concept. If what you're trying to communicate is so formulaic and devoid of actual significant content that AI text generators will output nearly the same text: reconsider.

Not more than in any other company, with the exception that the company puts its employees needs first (but this is not exclusive to companies like mine).

I work for a business owned in whole by its employees. Its goal is to pay its employees a good salary and generally act in the interest of the employees in addition to providing its core services to its customers. There is no pay out of any

At least with headcrabs you know where you stand. Either it kills you, it gets you killed, it turns you into a zombie, or you miraculously survive. With ticks there is that awful, wait-for-a-red-ring-to-appear-in-the-next-few-weeks phase. O
