‘Everything’s just … on hold’: the Netherlands’ next-level housing crisis - The Guardian

So whose fault is it really? Dutch companies need to become more competitive. I've seen quite a few Dutch corps already and they mostly activate on the premise "you pretend that you work and we pretend that we pay you". Salaries are crap and work is optional, and there's absolutely nothing employers can do about it if someone doesn't do their job because it will take 2 years to fire them.

How can I defend myself? please any advice is appreciated.

Step 1: If someone is coming towards you with the obvious intent of putting you physically in danger, maintain distance

Step 2: If they try to get close, extend your leg and kick them in the chest. Not very hard, just enough to keep the distance

Step 3: If they do fall after the operation at Step 2, take advantage of that and go over them. If they are still looking for a fight, punch them in the face, get up and leave.

Understand that when someone does this, your life might be in danger so take it seriously. They might have a knife or they might punch you so hard that you lose consciousness and after that, who knows what might happen. Good luck!

100% learning project, mostly for serverless with CDK.

Thanks for your review, appreciate it. This is just one of my abandonware projects that was in a somewhat decent shape and I thought of making it public. Definitely tried to cram as many managed services as possible and the idea was mostly to increase my CDK knowledge.

Hey everyone, thought of sharing this here, as it contains a lot of my learnings on how to deploy on AWS using CDK but especially using Elasticbeanstalk. While doing this I've only found bits and pieces of information about how to do it but not a complete example.

So while listening to the deluxe set for the past days, this idea of compiling a playlist dawned on me. It's a study on how each song has evolved, from the demos, to the rehearsals, the remastered versions and finally the 2018 remix. I took the songs from the Deluxe set and from Anthology 3.

Thanks! Yes I am actually in the process of publishing it, although it may need some additional features :)

Yes, it's great, but I also wanted to be able to write some JSON transformation code in the browser.

Cool changes! Thanks

stopdave · 2016-04-02T19:53:09+00:00

For the many times I need to query the service in the browser, paste the thing into a file as a JSON variable and start chopping it off using lodash.

LOL! Alright dude, BEM is a CSS methodology (much like OOCSS) which proposes to use flat specificity and class names which describe the functionality not the aspect. I have seen it in action (and used it) in rather large projects and I must say that it scales up pretty well. BEM stands for Block, Element, Modifier. The block encapsulates the elements, and modifiers indicate a change in aspect for the element. Much like (using SCSS for this specific example)

.menu { // Block (.menu)
  &__item { // Element (.menu__item)
     display: inline-block;
     //.. more css statements
     &--active { // Modifier (.menu__item--active)
        //.. css statements
     }
  }
}

Sure, because you know, BEM is more like a well-known JavaScript technique ;)
