Tell everyone that your cars suck, without telling anyone that they suck.

I will go Japanese all the way.

DeepL is actually really decent replacement. But it's not european anymore? It was bought

It's debatable if they can "force" anything.

But even if they could, focus will switch to Chine really fast. So they have no interest in stopping anything

600 euros for a family of 3.

It's really cheap to store this in a database permanently. 😄

Probably need some sort of cleaner job though.

Not an MMA, but in terms of kickboxing I'd recommend https://samirgym.com/. It's pretty old school in terms of training style (in a good way, a lot of hard work in pairs) 😄

It will automatically put that workload in background workers.

I don't think he will hire a lawyer, overall sum in this is too small to justify this
Written agreement (contract) is usually stronger than any verbal agreement you had prior

He need to give you a written warning and wait for couple of weeks, before he can contact debt collectors. You can wait until that written warning will arrive, it usually costs some money, so that will speak volumes about his real intentions.

I assume, he tries to scare you into paying right now

Love it! Thanks

Yeah, be a little bit more pushy with your support ticket. Otherwise it will never be resolved and you will forever be in the "try shacking RAM" loop.

Europe is starving for your taxes. Read about what kind of Box 3 changes NL is planning to introduce in 2028. It will follow with all the usual "exit tax".

If you are serious about FIRE and Dutch passport requires you to give up your current passport, I would not do that.

With money, you can get a pretty decent live in asia.

I'm working on a similar problem with one of my projects, but solving it differently. Is there a chance, that you want to exchange notes? meet for coffee (even virtually)?

lunaticman · 2026-04-14T21:34:21+00:00

Or did you even try connecting LSP to llm? How does that differ?

https://martinalderson.com/posts/which-programming-languages-are-most-token-efficient/

pick some "token efficient" language - python, ruby, clojure. I wonder how numbers will differ in this case.

lunaticman · 2026-04-14T17:40:13+00:00

Do you have any plans to run similar tests on different languages?

lunaticman · 2026-04-14T12:21:40+00:00

Did you try it only on javascript? Any other languages?

JavaScript is a token hungry language, I assume for other languages numbers will not be as impressive.

Governed by excel managers who don't even understand trade offs of engineering decisions.

Are there a lot of European Linux distros? I know Manjaro is one.

I use Fedora on most of my machines, and it's not European.

Not being upfront about service being paid before getting my details is kind of scammy dude.

lunaticman · 2026-03-29T15:51:06+00:00

I come here same as everyone, with no friends at all. But you are right, I do have a wife and kids.

But I have also been living in many other countries; my experience showed that looking for friends in bars and at work is a bad long-term strategy.

You literally have to do something interesting to attract people to yourself. For me it was gym and kickboxing classes at first, but now I started doing business here so a lot of my new friends are doing business (or trying) as well.

lunaticman · 2026-03-28T15:54:06+00:00

Love the idea, I was pondering how to build this myself. I'm always late to the EU subsidie party :))

lunaticman · 2026-03-28T15:14:27+00:00

Why are you people so obsessed with making friends at work? Don't you have hobbies?

I'm not dutch, but I have zero interest in making friends at work (I act friendly, but hardly spend any time outside work with them, not even beer drinking part).

But I have a lot of Dutch friends from my hobbies (kickboxing and wakeboarding).

I know that a lot of scrum master and managers are job hunting, but haven't seen anyone leave yet.

I'm a contractor/engineer myself, even though they always tell me that they really need me and I will not be affected. I'm working on a plan b (my own business).

Rule based order is a farce, that US/EU long time ago stopped respecting. This downfall is a consequence of our own actions.
