If it's a purely learning project for myself I would usually pick a new language which I would like to learn.

If it's not, you owe it to your client to have an open discussion about which backend (and frontend) language to select. If you are working with a contract, remember that you are only selling your services as a software engineer and that the client will eventually own the code (unless there is some other agreement).
Could you elaborate on how you got those numbers? You lost me at $56 but I don't understand your percentages either so perhaps I'm missing something here.

For companies with existing technology stacks try to reuse existing knowledge (JNode, Java, .Net, ...).

For companies "starting from scratch": analyse possibilities and make a strategic decision about your technology then try to stay with it and build up the knowledge along the way...

In 1996 I made a decision to use Java everywhere where it is possible and I sticked to that decision up until today, so I prefer Java...

It depends on the requirements of the project, but generally speaking I'll write in whatever I feel I'll be most productive with (previously that was PHP, these days it's Node). This is because the code I write doesn't need to scale up - I write pretty niche things that will never have more than a few tens of thousands of users. The language choice won't ever lead to a performance problem because it'll never get so busy that the implementation is the bottleneck. If there's a problem it's most likely to be down to my code/logic.

If I had to write a scalable system where the code would make a difference for whatever reason, then I'd do a lot more research in to that specific area.
What does the plan-administration-fee look like at Vanguard? Minimizing this number seems to be Guideline's primary value proposition.
That's true. I guess I was being a little naive here. I can see that many flavored yogurts have around 5% added sugar.

But I understood from the article that even plain yogurt has added sugar, and I've noticed in some countries I've traveled to that plain yogurt is very sweet.

But even at 5% added sugar, I think it is unfair to compare it to ice cream.
Thank you for being sane.

Russians are decent people, it seems. Is the 2nd-uncle terminology widespread in Russia too?
Actually isn't time's arrow pointing in the direction of information being increased? Entropy as defined in Claude Shannon's information-theoretic sense is actually correlated with information. More entropy means more information. And indeed, intuitively, we have more information as time goes on (about the past) and not the other way around. If you assume that information does not travel backwards in time - then you once again get that information increases in the direction of time. The article stated it wrong.

I choose languages based on what is best suited for the project. That is determined by the architecture of the project (is it a SPA or a more Ye Olde Fashioned web site? Is it just an API? Does it need web sockets? etc.)

The architecture is dependent on the requirements. Who will maintain this once I'm done writing it counts as a requirement. If I'm making it for someone else and I won't be maintaining it, and they don't have someone on hand to maintain it, I might not want to write it in Clojure or Node because it might be harder for them to find someone who can work on it affordably than if I write it in PHP or Ruby.

Sometimes multiple languages will be equally suited to the same type of project, in that case I go with personal preference. But that's very rare. Usually there's some good objective criteria like those listed above which will help you nail it down.
The article does a pretty good job of explaining how they reached that figure. Massive financial manoeuvres involved in aircraft leasing industry. On a global level Ireland is the place for aircraft leasing.

GDP and GNP are similar for most countries but Ireland is a small open and agile economy with a huge presence of foreign multinationals. Profits of these companies are often declared in Ireland but repatriated back to their host countries. Hence the disparity between the two figures.

Ireland also entered a harsh recession from 2008 to 2014 so an element here is also simply making up for lost ground.

This comes at a time when Ireland is bracing itself for Brexit. Ireland is massive trading partner of the UK. Ireland buys a similar amount from the UK as France for example.

The strategy seems twofold - get the EU to empathise with Ireland so that the UK doesn't have to got though a hard exit and introduce a hard border. While also trying to rob all the companies looking to relocate to an EU location from London.

For me whats interesting so much value being added to the Irish economy with relatively little actually coming from construction. Something Ireland was little too dependant on.
That would definitely make cycle accuracy easier between all the system parts.

The hard part is for someone to actually develop the emulation for all the custom chips in the system. In particular, the two graphics chips are very complex and the documentation is very hard to understand. The same goes for the sound chip. The others are all standard enough to be reasonably straightforward (if not actually easy).
I skimmed through your link, but don't see any numbers on what Vanguard's plan-administration-fee. They did mention the low average expense ratio on their funds, but that's different from the plan-administration-fees which Guideline seems to be optimizing for.

Skimmed milk has 4,7 grams of sugar per 100 gram of milk, so that is the baseline.

That does sound like a lot, but I think it is unfair to start classifying milk together with soda.
> It's obviously not accurate to begin with: Romanians aren't all going to the best European schools and they do not have access to such.

Your "obviously" is certainly not obvious. I live in Denmark, and my experience is exactly the opposite: there are MANY Eastern European students in the top Danish universities. Ironically, a degree in Denmark (0 cost) is cheaper than a degree in Eastern Europe: and yes, education in Denmark -and other European countries- is for free for EU citizens. Damn, my own girlfriend is from Lithuania and got her Master from Aalborg University.

I will try to give you an example with data: the best university in Scandinavia for Engineering is DTU (http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/faculty-r...). In 2014, it admitted 1403 MsC students; of those, 538 (38%) were "international" (http://www.dtu.dk/english/About/FACTS-AND-FIGURES/Education). DTU doesn't offer data about the particular region of origin of the international students, but I do suspect that most of them are Europeans, particularly Eastern Europeans. It's like this for Aalborg University (3rd best in Eng. in Scandinavia): 79% of its international students are Europeans, with 40% of the total being from Eastern Europe (http://www.en.aau.dk/about-aau/figures-facts/students/intern...). Going back to my personal anecdote: when my girlfriend finished her Master degree in Denmark, we went to celebrate with her colleagues: a Pole and two Latvians. No, Eastern Europeans studying in good universities in Scandinavia are not uncommon, by any means.

> Let's see the results: half of Europe is so impoverished, the median incomes in those nations wouldn't come close to reaching the poverty level in the US in terms of standard of living. The poverty levels in countries like Moldova, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary etc. are nearly third world they're so bad.

If you are going to define "Europe" as the continent, I shall be able to define "America" as the continent too. How is the poverty level in Paraguay? Criminality in Ciudad Juárez? Life expectancy in Bolivia? Violence in Caracas?

I thought we were being serious and comparing US with EU; it's already a very favourable comparison for you.

> What results has the supposed free amazing education produced? None that can't be easily bested or matched by the worst economic zones in the US.

The results are multiple. I think I can group many of them under one word: social peace. Spain's homicide rate is 0.7; Italy's is 0.8. US is 3.3. The most peaceful state in the US, New Hampshire, is still more dangerous than Spain or Italy: 0.9. The highest homicide rate in the whole EU is for Lithuania, with 5.5. In the States it would be slightly worse than average in between Michigan and Alaska, very far from the 10.3 of Louisiana.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_homicid...

IMO, the States is an amazing place if you are a highly-skilled professional or an entrepreneur. If you are poor, not so much: no free healthcare, much higher crime, very high imprisonment rate.

Is there a way to get radio on your iPhone? Could you "jailbreak" it? I'm in the UK (EE is the carrier) and missed the Wimbledon final due to being on a train, it would have been great to have radio...
If you're starting a one man project, just take the one you're being the most productive in. If the project is a team effort, then it comes down to the team preferences or team members' willingness to change. From my experience, team adopting a completely new language isn't the big deal per se, more difficult is team dynamics, requirements/people changes, hiring new team members especially if your area can't provide many people with desired skillset. Take a look around what's the trend locally, for the vast majority of projects it's more important to deliver a quality project on time, than to code in a, now matter how, exotic (and other super attributes) language.
I'm not sure comparing radio with roads is correct.

For roads, maybe somewhere it's the same, but there are also funding ways that work differently. If you use the road (have a vehicle) you (probably, depends on where you are) pay the tax, either directly or included with the fuel price. If you don't drive a vehicle but use the roads indirectly (because the services you use, use that roads) you pay indirectly - trough your funding of those services and their respective use of vehicles. E.g. you buy stuff in a grocery store, the store pays to a transportation company, the transportation company pays taxes for their trucks - everyone's paying for what they actually use. So, it still feels fundamentally different from the broadcast taxes to me.
And it may grow even more when some/many US subsidiaries in UK will move to Ireland after Brexit (english speaking country in EU is attracting many US companies)...

But first-cousin marriages generation after generation are not a great idea, as happened in various royal houses of Europe in order to make sure both parents were of noble blood. In fact, it has been estimated that the last Hapsburg ruler of Spain, Charles II, ended up with more homozygous alleles than someone who was the offspring of siblings would. And he had numerous physical and mental problems that were probably the result of it.

I believe that they use many small motors instead of a big one because quadcopter like planes are controlled by changing blade speed and that bigger blades have much more inertia which limits the speed at which the rotation can bee accelerated. Helicopters spin their blades at a constant speed and vary the angle of attack of the blades to obtain the same control which means it is less affected by inertia.

>> "so that the UK doesn't have to got though a hard exit and introduce a hard border"

I don't see anyway around the hard border. If border EU countries are required to protect their border as I've been lead to believe then Ireland now has to do that unless UK excepts freedom of movement.

Just use C++. C++11 is a nice, modern language. Lots of OO and functional constructs. It compiles and runs just about anywhere. Lots of people know enough to get stuff done with it. You don't have to worry about a VM and performance issues, and with RAII and smart pointers you don't have to worry overmuch about memory management.

Seems like they're describing what I think of as a project manager, albeit one blessed with enough technical skill to provide well-informed leadership of a project, including working with the senior developer.
It really depends on your performance characteristics as you mentioned, you can certainly make a database fast as hell but most of the time I would recommend SQL for when you need ACID characteristics(Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability), not performance per-se because while SQL can be insanely fast, if you do not understand the abstraction it can get slow real fast.

If you find yourself storing large tables of information that is vaguely relational and you value the consistency of your data over raw performance I would generally recommend SQL engines.
Taking some risk has benefits in innovation if you can afford it, but the project shouldn't have two major unkowns that can wildly affect its result.

I'd much rather stick to the very well-supported open source technologies like Python, NodeJS and Ruby than limiting my choice of platform right off the bat.
Thats a very good advice for a lot of valid reasons and I follow the same mantra.
Such a rate of childhood death would be high even for sibling parents. So perhaps there was something else going on.
tooling available and libraries / frameworks are as important as language imho, often the domain of the application drives the choice of these. From these the language is determined.

Other factors are familiarity and what tech the people who have to support it are familiar with. Language is in some ways a less important choice and is seldom a matter of choosing the 'best' one.

if you're talking about a side project though, knock yourself out. Personally I'd recommend looking at Typescript (web), C# (windows), Swift (apple) or Delphi (cross platform).
Haha yes. I think at a certain scale you get rumors. I was never aware people thought it was a breach btw! Pretty crazy.
I also maintain a three pronged approach like this, where I keep one dynamically typed scripting language, one compile-to-native speedy one and one general purpose on a VM style language like Java.

Currently my picks are:

Rust -> to native + speedy
Ruby -> nice relaxed scripting language
Scala -> on a VM general purpose language

Though the difference is more blurred from original intent these days - it used to look like:

C
Perl (5)
Java / C#

which is considerably more pronounced.

The only addition I can make to this is I'd pick based on how I'm going to deploy too - Java is fairly difficult to deploy to desktops compared to Golang for example (for reasons like ensuring the correct JVM version is installed etc). Ruby is even higher on the difficulty to deploy scale, to the point where I probably wouldn't ship it to a customer non-dockerized (but if hosted internally, that's fine).
Rumour has it the UK will likely go for EEA membership after invoking article 50. This isn't foregone conclusion but a possibility and some would say likely outcome.

UK will have to accept EU migration and contribute to EU purse but doesn't have a seat at the table making the whole referendum a fruitless pursuit that cost the UK political clout.

Conversely the Germans may see Brexit as a threat to the EU (particularly if the UK does well outside the EU) and may veto the UK joining the EEA. The UK performing poorly outside the EU would act as a disincentive to other members who may be weighing up leaving.

Another alternative to the hard border between N.Ireland and Ireland is a hard border between N.Ireland and the rest of the UK. Though some saying having to use a passport to travel within your own country defeats the purpose of the country.

"Go with what you know." It even rhymes.

I'm all for learning stuff, and if I'm working on a project that has no particular deadline (or a deadline that's far enough out that I can deal with frustrations of learning), by all means use new and shiny. But if I have a real goal and a deadline, I'm going to use something I already know in and out so I can spend my time making, not learning. If I get something to production and find that it's performance is horrendous, I can always come back and optimize (or rewrite) later, but it's better to get something out and see if it even works than to be fighting a new syntax or picking middleware.
> If border EU countries are required to protect their border as I've been lead to believe

I think that's what parent means. That the EU not force Ireland to protect the border, that they make an exception with UK.

>Ireland has to do that unless UK accepts freedom of movement
No? Ireland can do whatever the EU wants, independently of whether UK accepts or does not accept freedom of movement.

Norway (not-EU) borders Sweden and Finland (EU) and have an open border agreement. But of course it also has freedom of movement for EUians.

Northern Ireland should just pull out of the UK already and the whole island can return to being Ireland, and solve the problem with land borders.

The two biggest issues will likely be language and immigration laws, and these might greatly affect where you move to. My move was through marriage, so my experience differs (language classes were provided free, for example, and other benefits).

First things first, check the immigration laws to see if they allow what you are wanting - a remote job while moving there willingly. If not, you might have to look for work.

In Norway, most folks need to speak Norwegian well to work. English helps me, but it just isn't enough on its own, despite what people (including many Norwegians) seem to think. However, many in the tech field have English workplaces, and if I remember correctly, there are job seeking permits available (if not, you do get 3 months of staying visa free in most of the EU and Schengen area, and it is probably similar in other countries.

You may or may not be able to apply to immigrate inside your target country. You might have to travel in the US to their embassy, and have a long wait time. You might need proof of income and savings and other such things, and you will likely need to apply for (and pay) immigration for each family member seperately. You also might be required to pay for language courses at least for yourself, but your children will likely be simply taught at school. Your wife, coming along as family, may or may not be able to work without additional immigration work (which can likely be changed later on). If she doesn't hold a degree, she might need to be willing to accept things like cleaning work.

Your degree might need verified by an authority in the country, and that can take some time as well, but this may or may not be an issue.

Good Luck.
