good article, I can (unfortunately) relate. another aspect of the trap is when you have set backs (stress, life events) or get tired (long days, less sleep, emotional events) typically the first recourse is to stop the hardest parts: physical fitness, e.g., you take a car instead of bike/walk, skip sports, alcohol instead of water. it's sometimes a vicious circle, you're tired due to overweight, thus eat more to get energy, making you more overweight.

Has anyone used the Nordic power kit? Or any other recommendations for measuring power consumption?

Why the `sudo ufw allow outgoing`? Wouldn't it be worth to deny all to prevent extrusion and only open ports for services that need to communicate externally?

That was incredibly insightful! Thank you sharing this!

Radical candor by Kim Scott. Was an eye opener for me.

How do you eat an elephant? Piece by piece. it sounds stupid, but start at the beginning, and pace yourself. Chapter by chapter, you'll get through it.

I'm really poor at math, so I've learned to work slowly and check if I really understand something before I go to the next chapter. Most maths is based on previous work / understanding. So, when I rush or try to skip pieces, I misunderstand the next part, making my rushing completely useless.

Not entirely true. You need to be able to cover expenses like taxes and legal fees by yourself, which accounts for 8 and a bit percent.

We’ve had no problem hiring people without degrees in the Netherlands (from outside EU/EER). But you need a high-skilled job, with requirements to your salary (which with CS you’ll most likely meet), and you need to sign a contract before you can get the visa. Most Companies will take care of the visa for you. I don’t know the exact name of the visa, I can look it up for you if you like.

Correct. And the EPA tends to be most accurate. I've never hit NEDC numbers in any EV.

Fastned | Java, Go, and/or Front-End | ON-SITE | Amsterdam | VISA

We're building Europe's leading charging network for EVs. With new offices opened in Cologne and London, we're outpacing the growth of our current SAAS offering and starting to develop our own systems.

This Greenfield project allows you to help create the core of Fastned, from apps, to CRM, to the connection to the chargers on-site.

We don't have a set stack, and are looking for developers that are willing to make a change at Fastned and help create a sustainable world. You have the freedom to decide on framework, language, and platform with the team.

Fastned | Software Engineer (front-end and full stack) | Amsterdam, NL | ONSITE | Full-time | VISA

Fastned is fueling the electricity transition by building Europe's largest fast charging network for electric vehicles. We're looking for software engineers to form our very first software team, whom will build the core of Fastned.

We're looking for team members with all kinds of experience (fresh college graduates to experienced seniors, front-end & full stack) to form this software team. Fastned is a fast growing comapny of 25 persons right now. We opened our German office last week in Cologne, and are hoping to open an office in London early 2018.

You'll be working to replace the current SAAS offering we use now, which combines everything from CRM, to billing & invoicing, to the connection with our charging stations in the field.

The tech stack is open on the table, those decisions will be made by this software team. There's a blank state and an opportunity to really make a change at Fastned and the way Europe will be charging their FEVs. It's going to be great!

And the majority of cars have batteries as part of the chassis. Swapping it is nearly impossible.
