Really cool, enjoyed playing it for a while. Challenges you to practise your regex golf[1] skills. :)

There seem to be some bugs with the timing mechanisms, probably some JS timeouts aren't properly reset, causing weird game behaviour like running out of time mid-game (the countdown still displaying 10+ seconds). Also correct answers aren't always acknowledged (all icons show the answer to be correct, however it doesn't result in that player winning the game). :)

I read this so often and can't understand it. It's like most people never get friends outside of work. Like they never grew up and are still in the 'I can only get friends at my school/class'-mindset from when they were young.

I am aware of the UK having sub-national parliaments - my point is that the US has more than 50 legislatures and both Australia and Canada have around 10 each. Are these legislatures also going to be stuffed into the list, or will the legislatures be browseable in some form of heirarchy?
Hmm, I also have an extreme lack of patience for other adults (I say adults because I have plenty of patience for my kids). I've been working remotely for 4 years now, I wonder if that is why? I don't think I used to be so impatient with other people. Interesting...

Technically it would negate the status of "legal tender" to the money, not really something that a state or governement can allow, not even in private transactions, but of course the article is largely exaggerating:

Title: ... cash is on the verge of extinction...

Inside:"Electronic payments in the Netherlands’ shops and supermarkets overtook cash payments for the first time in 2015 by a narrow margin: 50% debit cards while 49.5% were paid for in cash the remaining 0.5% were credit card-payments. There’s a movement afoot by a coalition of Dutch banks and retailers that want that ratio to increase to 60% electronic payment versus 40% hard currency by 2018. "
Don't. Marketing and sales isn't about features it's about benefits.

Bylaw are nitpicking. i have personally helped fill my truck with cans Many many times!. you could pile them as high as you like tie it down and go to collect at a recycling facility that pays the most in my local area of the GTA and you will be only getting $60-80. I would say it would take one guy a month to collect. They should stop hiring more Bylaw to pick on people. You fire one bylaw officer you would save there 40-50k a year that would more then make up for the difference it makes. Bylaw in my opinion have a job and I think too many people complain rather then go outside and actually (shocker) talk to there neighbor and say hey this bothers me. It creates a war of someone called bylaw on you and it spreads so you call bylaw on all your neighbors it creates bad blood they hire more bylaw eventually there are so many of these lawn police that when everyone is compliant they need to justify there job.

Take my cans and metal and old electronics . My city charges me far to much to pickup trash. Go look at what you receive for your ever rising taxs it will possibly alarm you when you put a cost to it all.

You won't exactly get fresh faces, but have you thought about working remotely for an American company from Europe?

Man, you have a very vauable asset for a tech career - a US Citizenship. I am very envious of folks who have it. The tech career opportunities outside of US are really not that diverse and are heavily scattered across the world - i.e. maybe the rest of the world combined is as interesting tech-wide as US is - but with lower salary and language/immigration barriers (i.e. try job-hopping, over a span of say 5 years, from Germany to New Zealand to China vs NYC to SF to Seattle).

There is also the possibility that the experiment itself is correct and the laws of physics are correct, but we applied them wrong, leading to a wrong prediction or experiment analysis. Many many calculations take short-cuts or make approximations. Or we apply a theory wrongly.
In all these cases, we learn something new. Hitting the prediction (of the standard model) is boring.

For starters the speaker and deputy speaker of each chamber are listed as being not being in their own parties, which isn't true (although it is in the U.K.), instead they have strange abbreviations for the name of the position.

Secondly, in Australia the Liberal National Party is a partial merger of the Liberal and National parties. MPs in the LNP can be a member of either the Liberals or Nationals. In the House of Representatives data for Australia, the breakdown of LNP MPs between the two parties is incorrect, and leaves one MP as a sole member of the LNP. The errors are similar in the Senate data.

Additionally, two politicians (Bob Katter and Jacqui Lambie) are wrongly shown as being independents, despite being elected as the sole member of a party.

The output of "apt-get moo" changes on special days (4/1, 12/25, 8/16, 11/7, 2/18). So if another program was using "apt-get moo" in its build script, the build would not be reproducible. With the patch, the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable can be set to make "apt-get moo" deterministic.

I don't think anything actually uses "apt-get moo" in its build script.

This kind of patch makes more sense for build tools like "ar" (static library creator). By default, "ar" injects a timestamp into the output file, so the binary is different each build. But, use the "D" flag and "ar" becomes deterministic.
I think Europe is going just as nutty as the states, maybe more. I am betting that the national front wins in France and France drops out; after that the euro collapses and we see a monetary nightmare.

I recently moved for an year's assignment to Amsterdam. Intercompany transfer.

The process has been interesting. The main thing which took time was getting my Birth certificate legalized under The Hague convention a.k.a apostilled. After that it's documentation work which my company lawyer handled. Once I got here it's taken time to get used to the differences but thoroughly enjoy it.

Highly recommend it, if you can. The best route has been this - inter company transfer.
Does the US have a working holiday visa arrangement with Europe? This is how I moved, but I was moving from Australia. Got my Australian citizenship and applied for working holiday visa to Sweden. Visa documentation was emailed to me within a couple of weeks of the application. This allowed me to move with my savings and look for a job on-site. The employer I found then helped me out with the process of applying for my employee visa and residence permit once my working holiday visa was near expiry.

If you're a senior dev you may be able to just bypass the "move first" step and get a job remotely with a relocation package. I had experience in my chosen industry but was still considered fairly junior, so moving to the country and applying from there ended up being more productive than looking for a company that would deal with relocating a junior from the other side of the world.

I gave up after 2-3 games as well. Time kept running out in three seconds. The semantics are also murky, what do I need to match? The regex doesn't assume ^$, but then do I need to match all intermediate characters? Or just some of them? Or what?

Also, the UI is bad, there's a "match" column with a tick and an x, and you get the tick when you match good regexes and the x when you match bad ones. However, why is the column called "match", then? It should have the tick when a regex matches and the x when it doesn't.

Great idea, very frustrating execution.

I moved from the UK to The Netherlands a decade ago. It was a fantastic decision. It's nice here, most people speak English (although I learnt the language) and there's a lot of demand for Developers. There are also crazy tax incentives which result in you paying basically 0 tax for the first 5 years. That covers the costs of learning the language (3k EUR and it takes 2 years).

I don't think you understood the post.

I used to be one of those people in that quote - I found programming too simple/easy, and ended up doing math and physics, subject matters of far more complexity. I only ended up programming because I needed work afrer grad school and after 2 1/2 years of job searching, I got lucky and someone took a chance. To this day I continue to be happy about my line of work - it isn't particularly difficult (frontend web development primarily), but it lets me solve little problems and keep my mind engaged while paying exceedingly well. The perspective shift from being unemployed with dubious prospects makes me not care about how I am relative to the rest (although in my domain, it turns out to compare very favorably).
I think the title should be "Designing as a web Developer".

I stopped eating refined sugar (as far as possible) and I quit Twitter. Both made me feel better and less dependent on external stimulation. Positive side-effect: Increased self-confidence about being in control of things that before seemed to be in control of me.

In regards to sugar, I know limiting my sugar intake will remain a healthy habit forever. In terms of Twitter, I see it more as a temporary experiment. At least for the moment.
> Jeff Bezos apparently wasn't a developer

Before launching Amazon, Bezos worked at "a financial-trading company on the cutting edge of computer technology" [1].

Wikipedia says he has a degree in "electrical engineering and computer science" [2].

It's reasonable to assume that Bezos has at least some development experience.

> The universe is so structured that most programmers find themselves solving problems of exactly that complexity which it is just barely within their competency to solve. In other words they feel as if they’re solving quite difficult problems a lot of the time. Hence they feel very smart.

I don't know about other's here, but this is the opposite of my experience. I feel under-employed because I'm constantly solving problems which are way below my competency. (That's not to say that I'm smart; just that the kind of work most people have to work on is insanely easy, and many probably feel 'above it'.)

When I get angry it's almost always because I'm bored out of my skull, and need to take a break to do something creative or intellectually surprising. The original post seems to pin anger on jealousy and not boredom. And at any rate, whether or not you are angry because you are jealous or because you are bored, the solution is to take a break.

> In fact, sometimes they may get the feeling that someone who doesn’t program at all, could readily do it if they were bothered, but since they can get other people to do it for them, consider the whole thing a little trivial.

This is arrogant. There are a lot of people that can avoid programming, but a majority of these people wouldn't find it trivially easy. It's a skill set which actually takes quite a long time to build up, and having good people managing skills isn't likely to help.

All I can really say after reading this, is: generalising other people's psychology, choice of work, and perceptions about their work isn't a good way of understanding them or working with them. The fact that this person decided to make a blog post of it as if it was a clever way of understanding 90% of programmers is just an embarrassing reflection of themselves.

It's totally different country by country. I never been to the US, but I imagine it's much more homogeneous than the EU. For example you can go to Berlin, Barcelona, Milano, Stockholm or Budapest and you can have radically different experiences. It differs radically financially, demographically and attitude wise.

I'd suggest to start with a Euro-trip and visit as many countries as you can and then make a "final" choice where to settle.

I for one am very happy to live in Europe. But Europe is a very diverse continent so it's an extremely broad question. I've lived in a few places within Europe, traveled through others. But there is still so much hidden for me. If I were to move outside I would probably go to Asia.

I would say both. The MERS[0] registry could not be set up because the banks thought it is sort-of-gray legally, and they would be able to work it. Then, it turned out that it is actually against black letter law, so we had the robosigning scandal, which they somehow managed to weather unscathed.

Banks have foreclosed on wrong houses etc, and didn't suffer (enough) for it from either the hand of the law or the hands of customers, so they don't care (enough) to make sure they're doing it properly.

About twenty years ago we probably surpassed Orwell's 1984. Until ten years ago, the secret services of the world's governments would have done just about anything to get this kind of personal data. Five years ago, Facebook & co (twenti in Spain, vkontake in Russia, etc.) started to convince people to hand that info over for free. Today people are saying that somehow improves their lives, or that they have "nothing to hide". What do you think will happen when, in a few decades in the future, your personal, detailed history ends up in the hands of a government that is rattled by debt, ever increasing poverty and unemployment, and political instability, in a world much like in the 1930s? Not that that scenario must happen, but it can, given today's outlook, and history tends to repeat itself...
