You might consider digging deeper into other professions where programming experience/systems knowledge would be essential.

You might also dig deeper into discovering what you like and don't like about the programming profession:
Do you prefer going to meetings? Do you like solving new problems constantly? What drives your satisfaction? What do you not like about programming? What do you like about programming?

What one person considers to be a lucky profession may not be the same view shared by another :)

I think many people do who don't realize it. There's a balance, certainly, and having a cause that you care about helps a great deal.

Pressure from a job that just feels like a grind can leave you feeling stressed and unessential (why do we need yet another widget?!?).

Pressure in supporting people you care about (family, friends), a country, a cause (ending hunger, eliminating a disease, etc.), and so on can leave you feeling stress, certainly, but also a sense of having a purpose.

Thank you. Spot on.

I've found that most seniors have gained their place because they made sure nobody could become better than them. How seniors usually do this is by restricting training, keeping knowledge of things they designed to themselves, and so on.

Heck, where I'am working now, a senior has designed this billing system, and literally nobody knows how to use it and it always breaks, but he will not tell anybody how to fix it, despite me and dozens others shouting at him.

One word that ensures higher salaries...

Signal contains usage telemetry, unverifiable proprietary components, automatic software updates without user consent, and forces you to send messages over Google servers, allowing them to collect metadata about your social network graph. It doesn't matter if the transport layer has flawless encryption if the app itself is doing things wrong.

Moxie Marlinespike's cease and desist[0] orders against open source projects trying to fix these issues has me thoroughly convinced that Signal is a honeypot. Using XMPP with OTR encryption would be a much safer choice if you're discussing something sensitive, in my opinion.

In all the cases I know of, at least if early enough, this sort of loss really messes up a surviving child.

Actually, "Halb vier" (half four) can mean both in Germany, depending on which village you are in. It becomes even more confusing if you use something like "Viertel vier", which, depending on your village, can mean 15:15, 15:45 or 16:15.

This is why the less rural people over here use exact time.

> At this point Tesla is barely a blip on the radar in comparison considering volume

They're far more than a blip. They are easily outselling their Japanese and German competition in their segment. Luxury cars.

> Daimler took it seriously enough to invest in Tesla, and to use Tesla as a supplier in their own B-class EV sold in the US.

They did. However, they still do not have an EV sedan or SUV in the market.

> The BMW i series feature some pretty innovative thinking with respect to construction, materials, and design.

It does. However, they still do not have an EV sedan or SUV in the market.

> The payoff is that the BMW i3 is the most efficient EPA-certified vehicle, more efficient than any of Tesla's models

Because it's tiny. It's like a clown car.

The simple fact is that the Germans know if they put out an EV sedan or SUV, they will cannibalize their own market share and their investments in combustion engine manufacturing, which are massive, will be lost. They are trying to slowly transition to EV. Tesla is using that to their advantage and eroding their market share.

I'm one of the persons waiting for a stable tokio so badly. I have many use cases for this in my Rust projects that are either currently doing async io so-so or doing stuff like firing http requests in sync using the tools available. The situation in hyper land is not very cool at the moment, master being async but requiring you to write the callbacks, stable using too old openssl and the tokio branch not compiling.

With tokio I could unify my code base and make the code simpler and easier to follow.

So lets use the definition of freedom that most philosophers use when discussing liberty and not define freedom as: 'A liberty for everyone to do what he likes, to live as he pleases, and not to be tied by any laws.'

Personally I prefer John Loke definition: 'Freedom of people under government is to be under no restraint apart from standing rules to live by that are common to everyone in the society ... and not be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, and arbitrary wills of others'.

Rules, which are common to everyone, and the CC license share-and-share-alike encapsulate in the name.
Good point. If I have to make an analogy it seems like putting a person not physically suited for the military into a strict military 10-day brutal survival bootcamp. They need to be more careful with this indeed.
>so I would like to hear what's necessary to charge something like 100-150 euro/hour -

Embedded, especially small footprint (32kb ram and that kind of thing) is an easy one.

Enterprise senior dev pays more than that as well if you are good. I ran gigs in Munchen for 150/hr and German friends of mine still do.

However 60k is that salary and is that gross or net? Think you are comparing apples and oranges; in the Netherlands, and Germany does not seem very different in that respect, if you get 60k salary, the company is actually paying more than 120k for you. So if you convert that to freelancing, you should be charging at least that 120k (which is less than 70/hr).
I don't agree. From Cologne you can stay on the Autobahn/Schnellstraße pretty much until you reach the Grohmann front-door. I think that's a much better kind of commute for reading/sleeping than going through urban traffic.

Any examples for that?

Well, I am. Now let met enjoy my statistical insignificance !
Not really. In the german automotive industry there are no real exceptional salaries for engineers, it's pretty much regulated through IG Metall and everybody is earning the same in a +-15% range. That means these companies typically don't offer engineers awesome salaries in order to retain them, doesn't matter how good they are at their stuff. The only exception is (non-technical) management.

Psychopathy is a spectrum disorder characterised by an inability to feel one or more emotions.

Back home in India I used to work for one of the big IT services company in a support/maintenance project. Due to the bureaucracy, lack of innovation and the general self-righteous attitude at the company I used to think that all software development jobs are like that. I wanted to get out of the entire industry once my two year bonded term was over.

Once I left and ended up joining a small startup, I then realized that all programming jobs aren't like that and working on even enterprise software can be fun. Never looked back.
Magic word is "connected services" if you want to earn big bucks in automotive working on ML/Big Data. It's a real life experience, basically in the past year all big German car manufacturers are hiring like crazy in these fields.

Tesla uses the standard Type2 plug in Europe. You can also charge any Type2 equipped car with the Tesla home charger (EU model). Most Tesla owners I know have the CHAdeMO adapter as well, so can pretty much charge from every fast charger available.
I wish it didn't have to be that way. I like reading what the NYT publishes, just like how I enjoy Salon/WSJ/Forbes/WashPost/etc.. I just wish it wasn't "all or nothing". Why do I need to subscribe for $15-20/month so I can read the one article I really wanted to read from HN? I don't have time to sit there and enjoy that subscription, just isn't the kind of time I have, so could I just have like a lite version somehow that lets me pay for what I want?

Your initial point and example are completely unrelated. There are many examples where Google services suck without their online servers, Maps is one of the few that can actually work really well in offline mode.

Google Maps has the whole download area features[0]. If you have an area downloaded, you can see the entire area rendered at (any/most?) zoom levels, see street names, and even get directions.

As for information density, it seems to be a choice of the Google Maps team to show less data at various zoom levels. That has little to do with talking to their online services and more about how the maps team wants to present data to their users.

My father never really retired, he just took longer breaks between shorter jobs. In between he toured national parks.

Obviously for financial/economic system reasons this isn't open to people anymore, think of the cost of medical insurance or cost of real estate, it was much easier to be independently wealthy in the 80s/90s (for a small enough value of wealthy of course). But something similar could probably still be arranged today, somehow.

Another thing to think about is not all programming jobs are excruciatingly boring. Boring jobs should pay a substantial premium to be staffed such that you can afford mental health vacations each weekend of arbitrary expense, to recover.

Also in my starving student days I worked some physical labor jobs that were as excruciatingly boring as your description implies for programming. You feel physically better and more energized if you move more, but you'll be just as mentally bored.

Once you have reached that point, you can do pretty much anything you want. Yes, I understand you have to do bad things to get to that point. That's why I agreed with the comment about if you still have moral objections to the game, then that's cool. I personally would prefer they allow you those options from the start, but I can understand why they do not for gameplay purposes.

HRC only very recently came to support same sex marriage, after it was a sure-fire winning issue. In the past she has called for a wall between the US and Mexico, she uses race baiting language to make white voters feel that she'll be tough on crime, and her remarks justifying neoconservative foreign policy are very disrespectful of the citizens (typically brown-skinned) of the nations the US attacks.

HRC is strongly supported by the banking and finance industry, as well as by essentially all large, establishment industry groups. This is the definition of conservatism, preserving the status quo.

HRC also focuses very much on American exceptionalism and makes a moralistic argument for US foreign policy. She's presided over the largest arms deal in the history of the world, selling US arms to Saudi Arabia.

She wishes for the US to be the world hegemon and to use drone strikes (terrorism) to intimidate and subjugate the (often) brown-skinned people who might try to prevent that.

As we've seen via Wikileaks, HRC has used her and WJC's considerable political influence to amass a fortune exceeding a quarter of a billion dollars. She's advocated most of the economic policies that the super-rich want most. Some of these are, frankly, good policies, but many are handouts and loopholes that help preserve the status quo at the expense of those on the bottom and in the middle.

I would never vote for Donald Trump, but I would also never vote for HRC for many of the same reasons that prevent me from voting for someone like Trump or George W. Bush, etc.

As we've seen with Wikileaks, HRC despises the Sanders voters and strategized not just to sabotage Sanders' candidacy by installing her own cronies in the DNC, but also by pretending to care about their issues while telling banks the opposite. Not only is HRC a political pragmatist, she's on record actively trying to stop the only moderately successful leftist political movement in the US (Sanders) and joking about it to bankers!

Voting for HRC because she's a woman evokes a tribal instinct that is on the same level as voting for someone because they are white. We all want a world of equal rights and we all want to respect powerful, even flawed, leaders whether they are male or female. But HRC goes way too far with the sabotage of Sanders' campaign and the warmongering. Thus I believe voting for HRC (or Trump) is an unconscionable act.
