I've been using Firefox for almost a year now (on Phone and Desktop) and the only reason I switch to Chrome is to translate websites. I live in Netherlands and don't speak Dutch so…

I used to hate printers too but that changed when I started using HP Instant Ink. The printer needs to be connected to wifi all the time but on the flip side, the printer orders in…

Wow, I had exactly this idea when I moved to the Netherlands! My friends and distant family members would call at weird times without checking if it's early morning or night here.

The bikes are not very expensive, you can buy them second hand for about 100-150 EUR. And what do you have to maintain in a simple bike? Just adjust air pressure every couple of mo…

This looks cool, I've also built something similar for my needs. The difference is, it's a web based app – so I/my wife can add expense on-the-go. Uses Google Sheets as a database.…

Similar things are discussed in this year's World Happiness Report – http://worldhappiness.report/ed/2019/the-sad-state-of-happin... . Specially figure 5.4 makes it pretty clear: m…

I also had a similar issue, but then it became like a habit – every night I would check my accounts and add day's expenses (it's difficult if you have a lot of cash transactions). …

Not a freelancer, but I wanted to track my everyday finances since long. I tried lot of different tools but in the end ended up using simple Google sheet with some formulas. The on…

I was also having the same dilemma, although not a freelancer. I wanted to track my finances and tried lot of different tools but in the end decided to use plain excel. But then ad…

If you are using Excel, I made a frontend wrapper on top of it to add expenses/incomes easily. For analysis you can use whatever methods you are already using. Check it out: https:…

I also love listening to Nujabes, but there aren't many different tracks on YouTube. Do you have any other resources?

I'm an Indian living in Amsterdam just because of these immigration rules. My spouse is an Architect and she won't be able to work in the US due to H4 rules and in Canada because t…

I was using Vimwiki for this stuff for long, but this idea seems promising for a daily journal. I mostly divide my tasks by day so I don't want timestamp to be added everytime I ad…

I moved to Amsterdam 5 months back from Bangalore and couldn't agree more on the last paragraph. Everything here seems so laid back which was one of the reasons why we moved to EU …

Especially as a web developer, I gave Firefox a second chance and tried to use it's FirefoxDeveloperEdition - but debugging JavaScript was so painful. It somehow felt so slow compa…

I don't know how but somehow power cut hasn't been a thing in my hometown - Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Maybe privatization has helped. Torrent Power has completed its acquisition of the A…

Thanks for the tip! Are you in Amsterdam? Would love to catch up in the first week, if you are around.

Nah. That's one of the major reasons. Others being - working with a diverse culture, working on a big scale such as theirs, and building things based on data rather than opinions.

Yeah, questions were pretty much same you found on the internet. About the tech stack, they do let us know a little but mostly it depends on the team you land on.

Well, I am joining Booking.com as frontend engineer this November and this makes me a bit worried. The only reason I chose to join Booking was Amsterdam (I wanted to live/work outs…

Interested! Do you guys support Visa sponsorships and relocation if required?
