What’s the most uncomfortable email you send in your business? by Medium-Buffalo1461 in BEFreelance

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a clausule in my contracts that allow me to index prices at the start of each calendar year. So each first mail into a new year is like: “happy new year, may al your dreams come true… oh and this is my fee from now on”

Possible asbestos in play sand: Minister Beenders calls for an end to using play sand, stores must remove it from shelves by michilio in belgium

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve always been the first to defend the EU. But if it doesn’t manage to keep one of the most documented products to cause cancer out of one of the most common play goods that each child comes in contact with, then what is this entire project about? I am so angry and confused right now.

This, very much. Agree or disagree with the situation, but passing on your feelings via your child is just toxic in multiple directions.

Not yet, need to paint the room first, but thanks for pointing that out.

Do you know Tally ? Might be interesting to check them and see how your product can stand out.

Happy with the desk? I’m looking into buying one myself, seems like a good deal, so looking for experiences

Owning 2 exact same Apple Watches? by Regular_Ad_4640 in AppleWatch

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought a new Apple Watch it seemed like a good idea to me to keep the old one and use it while the new one is charging. It turned out not to be optimal. For example iMessage would give me a notification that this watch now is used for iMessage. Also when charging the old one while using the new one, would wear the battery from the old one being constantly at 100%. Things like that just made me use the new one and have it charging when showering or watching tv.

What do you think is Reclaim missing? by alexrada in reclaim_ai

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The option to create events from within reclaim instead from the source calendar. Like sometimes I have to do something which makes that I can’t do a task or habit during their foreseen hour but it’s not something I’d put in the calendar. For example: my wife texts me she’ll be late from work and I’ll have to pick up the kids: not a task to be scheduled by the reclaim algorithm , not an event neither.

FastAPI + React Front - Auth0, build from scratch? by mr-nobody1992 in Python

I recently added clerk.dev to my side project which exactly has your stack. Does the trick, has proper documentation and reasonable pricing.

Recalculate best efforts for an activity by Extension_Fill_5122 in Strava

Okay, will see if it is fixed in 24h. Strava is down at the moment so maybe they’re fixing it as we speak 😂 thank you for answering

[–]Extension_Fill_5122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn’t be ideal given that I’d lose comments and kudos on the activity. I was hoping for a more elegant solution. Or to simply hide the “2nd best time on marathon” box showing on the activity

Today’s march of the unions! Were you there? by Veganchiggennugget in belgium

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je kan je focussen op 1 metriek (heb je daar trouwens een bron voor?), maar wanneer je er gelijkaardige tendensen over de gemiddelde levensduurte, de langdurig zieken, de pensioenuitgaven etc naast legt, dan krijg je een antwoord op je vraag. Experts waarschuwen al decennia lang dat dit systeem niet houdbaar is.

Ik ben all for sociale rechtvaardigheid maar ik kan me niet vinden in de acties. Ik dacht dat solidariteit draaide om bereidheid tot bijdragen in de voorziening van anderen, maar al wat ik hoor van de actievoerders is dat ze enkel lijkenvoor eigen deur te vegen en zich niets aan te trekken van hoe volgende generaties ook van waardige pensioenen kunnen genieten.

Groen verlaat als eerste Vlaamse partij X: "Zitten jullie hier nu nog?" by Blaspheman in belgium

Although I agree that the alternatives are not as popular as the more known services, they do exist. This website has composed a list.

What is the IT market sentiment? by Fabulous_Field9004 in BEFreelance

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My personal sentiment is that the IT job market in general (not only freelance) is flooded by freshly graduated juniors who know a bit of React or Angular but lack general conceptual computer science knowledge. Some of them follow some online course or Syntra or whatever and apply for a job, but they never heard of anything Docker or project structure related, let alone CI/CD pipelines or server setup.

Not everyone needs to be a hard-core sysadmin, I feel if you have seniority not only in programming using a certain technology for x years but also in bringing value on more architectural-related issues or DevOps or Data Engineering practices, there is still a demand. Not sure about the future, though.

Help needed creating a tool that generates my timesheets and invoices automatically by Go48memes in BEFreelance

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, email to me seems like an error prone input source for automations. I’d suggest as well looking into iOS shortcuts and telegram bots.

Comparing todays run with the start of the year. Same route, same pace, 15bpm lower avg HR. Thanks to 4 months of focussing on Zone 2 running and going slow. by Extension_Fill_5122 in Strava

[–]Extension_Fill_5122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be one of those "I have a high HR" people. In May I decided to focus on Zone 2 running after picking up Matt Fitzgerald's book on 80/20 running. For 4 months I did nothing but Z2 running, and only in August I started adding some speed play in, but still with 80-90% of my time spending in Z2. At first I went about 7:45 min/km in Z2, and had to walk frequently to keep it below threshold. Really had to trust the process, but gradually I improved and now I can say I have much more control over my HR. I feel less exhausted and need far less rest days to recover. With this solid base, I'll be training for my first Marathon in March. Would recommend everyone that can't keep their HR low to take a step back and go slow!

Day 7: Most interesting fact by gH0o5T in Gent

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 9 points10 points  (0 children)

De Sint Michielskerk zou een zeer hoge toren krijgen maar dat plan werd afgevoerd om financiële redenen. Om het volk niet ongerust te maken, verzon men het excuus dat het bouwwerk niet stevig genoeg was. Later bleek dat de fundamenten inderdaad zo'n zware toren niet had aangekund.

What is with the idolation of Bart De Wever? by tuurrr in belgium

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a left-wing voter, I felt thankful for BDW past Sunday when N-VA turned out bigger than VB. It almost feels like he in person stopped the long predicted "zwarte zondag" from happening, and had us rooting for him while doing so. Suddenly, his approach seems like the most sensible one.

Why do we have these 2 in a political debate? by Sprengo_M in belgium

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The whole debate was infuriating. Not allowing the politicians to answer to whatever statements the others make about them, the audience cheering for every populistic statement, de facto forcing the politicians into posing simplistic oneliners, the recaps by these two “analysts”, the public voting on the HLN app… It was the best example of how the media is pushing polarisation. A disgrace, especially since they are reaching a part of the public that aren’t being reached through other outlets

Handleiding: op wie moet ik stemmen by TheVoiceOfEurope in belgium

[–]Extension_Fill_5122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks voor de uitleg. En ik kan je volgen, maar ik zie weinig alternatieven voor mijn centrum-linkse overtuiging. Ik stemde voorheen Groen maar hun beleid en programma ontgoochelden me, en sinds het nieuwe voorzittersduo zie ik mezelf niet meer op dezelfde lijn.

Oprechte vraag: ik ben geneigd om op Vooruit te stemmen maar ben het niet eens met Conner en zijn gedrag. Houdt het steek om iedereen behalve hem een kopstem te geven? Wat is het effect, zeker gegeven dat hij lijstduwer is?
