India (Bangalore) is a great and cheap place to live. You will have to learn some Hindi to get everyday things done but many people there know English (almost all people who work at offices). You can start a company there.
Project looks great, have yet to try it out but it's more or less exactly what I have had an itch to build for the last couple of weeks after having an unsatsifactory experience trying to automate lighthouse across a bunch of sites.

What's next on your roadmap? Where/how can enthusiastic devs best contribute?
Stability of what? Internet? There are riots in the streets if the internet goes down. And I'm only half joking.

Regarding food, I'm from Bucharest and the food variety and quality is not amazing compared to a major Western metropolis. But food is cheap and if you ask some locals plus you do some research you should be ok. Cluj is smaller so I don't imagine it being better than Bucharest regarding food.

How thick is "3D" here, and why is that? What makes a bit of vertical distance harder than several mm of horizontal distance?
From the perspective of Bloomberg, is that a reasonable concern? Their business is to sell information that allows people to decide if they should buy or sell, not to promote fair and factually accurate coverage. I think this is something to keep in mind when you read all news. There are many great and devoted journalists and they work hard. But there are also many great and devoted computer programmers. Just look at what we do in order to meet the demands of our businesses. It would be nice to hold journalism to a higher standard, but I don't think it is realistic.
I find it interesting that this is financed by the EU.

My first reaction to this was a lot of skepticism - the article makes a lot of bold claims without backing any of them up. I was ready to write this off as another sleazy mud-throwing operation when I found the official EU site [0] describing the team and their goals - including "Effective communication and promotion of EU policies towards the Eastern Neighbourhood". The biased writing and this "promotion of policies" really make me think this is no better than the "fake news" everyone complains about.

This. I write crawler software (adapters mostly) for the same client, and I could never figure out anneasy way for my client to specify the xpath/case paths in a meaningful way and extract the data.

Every crawler task requires different paging methods, different xpath patterns, etc that it makes things more complicated to generalize it.
What I'm seeing is "authority fatigue". Nobody really trusts their authority's views any more.

And I think that's a good thing, personally. Not sure that I'd agree that Youtube is the best source of it, but yeah - its high time the Western world learned to think for itself, anyway. Maybe this is progress?
IIRC from my Embedded Linux course, ARM has a small amount of SRAM embedded in the chip that is available during boot and is later disabled in favor of the bigger DRAM chips once the controller is initialized.

Uboot is responsible for this in some chips.
Delhi is overpopulated and is one of the most populated cities in the world. It's also not a safe city to begin with. And you would not be making anywhere close to what you make in SFO. There are good Universities when compared to other Indian universities but I don't think nobody calls Delhi an Intellectual city. Has nothing to justify moving from SFO unless you are a lot into Indian politics probably.
You'd need to clarify that further.

Plus if anyone moves to Romania, I think they're expecting it to be a developing country.
"Kremlin Propaganda", no. But TFA is indeed playing into the anti-Russia climate with sub-par journalism.

I was suspicious of it being real (not because "activists" wont do any kind of shit these days, but because she would have easily got beaten up if it was real).

It took like a few searches to find that the video is indeed fake, and it was made as a viral video to boost the career of Anna Dovgalyuk, a ho-hum model/minor celebrity that does such BS.

She has done such viral videos in the past, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwdmPnJDvp0

Note how the BS TFA doesn't provide this info (it just mentions some magazine who found one of the actors in the video), and jumps to the "Kremlin propaganda" with tons of handwaving and no evidence at all, as opposed to one of the tons of BS YouTube stuff produced every day to be viral.

Also the name of the site "EU VS DISINFO" points to a website created to cater to the paranoid crowd, if not itself the work of some state agent or another [1].

No, it's not. The real risk is in coastal areas, as the article emphasizes. The headline is based on the quote "[The] United States along with Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam are home to 50 million people who will be exposed to the effects of increased coastal flooding by 2040, if 2.7 degrees of warming occur."

I'm unsure if I'm reading too much into your comment as it was not particularly informative, but you seem to be implying that the problem with climate change is the warming itself, which will be most pronounced around the areas most exposed to the sun's energy -- the equatorial regions. But this isn't the issue. Humans, plants, and animals of all sorts could be fine with temperatures much higher than they are now if that's all that changed. The real risk of climate change is the ancillary effects like the rising of tides. This effect will be most pronounced in coastal areas with dense population hubs - which are the exact areas they mention. And this is already happening.

For instance the most recent storms we've had including in Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana and so on were likely at least somewhat exasperated by climate change. And indeed there are people that are going to decide enough is enough and decide to move inland. These are now part of the people counted in these numbers. Something people often forget is that climate change is not something that will happen, but something that is happening.

> - Serious environmental policies, which would be admirable if it weren't for the Autobahn and all the coal that Germany burns. Have fun drying your sheets and towels on clotheslines in the middle of winter and don't expect AC during the summer.

I'm not sure whether you're trying to imply causality between environmental policies and the prevalence of clothes dryers and AC, but you can certainly get those things (although they might need to fulfill some energy-efficiency criteria).

You won't find them in most apartments, but that's because Germans usually don't think they're necessary. Clotheslines continue to work in winter and the number of really hot days is too low for an AC to be worth it.
Is Pune accepting to women? As a female software engineer it is important I feel included in the community. Seeing as Pune is a top suggestion in this thread I assume so. Thoughts?
In the rest of Spain sure, but in Barcelona, in the tech & design communities, everyone speaks English. I just got back from a three day design festival in Madrid and all of the studios present from Barcelona spoke English perfectly.
>Have fun drying your sheets and towels on clotheslines in the middle of winter and don't expect AC during the summer.

would you mind explaining this? Most people have driers and public buildings usually have AC. Homes don't have AC but that's because it doesn't (or didn't used to) get too hot
I use postits for this.

I used to use TODOs, but then if I wasn't looking at the code I forgot about it, and a lot of the stuff didn't have a spot it needed to go. It was just stuff I thought about while I was doing something else.

Daily (or twice daily) I reorder and prioritize. Every week or two there's a postit cleanup party where old postits get trashed or logged. A lot of the stuff that I trash isn't bad....it's just not in scope for the stuff I'm currently doing.

ADD: One of the beauties of postits on my monitors is that when my mind wanders -- as it tends to do -- I'm naturally looking at other stuff I should be thinking about. So when I postit stuff and put it somewhere in my field of vision, I'm telling my subconscious to start working on what I want to do with this stuff.
Expensive by UK standards, but cheap vs Bay Area: Cambridge UK.

I've not been anywhere else that has the density of interesting people doing interesting stuff. London is not far if you need to break the bubble (and Stansted Airport even closer).

Downsides: salaries are generally lower than SV (esp for technical work), Brexit uncertainty, weather is fairly average, limited outdoor sport options (other than running, road cycling, rowing)

Vienna, Austria. Great quality of life, very intellectual environment. You'll probably find it easy to move here and get a job, too ..
That ain't true at all, there are tons of options in Europe where you can hide, well anything. UK has their own Channel islands, for various purposes you have Luxembourg, Malta, Switzerland, Monaco and so on. You only need to be resident on paper, never physically set a foot there. Every politician, tax attorney/advisor or tax collector knows this, if they claim they don't they are lying to your face (or are utterly incompetent).

Why do you think normal flat in Monaco costs up to 20+ million eur? It is a nice place, but not THAT nice (In MCO case you need only postbox which can be rented cheaply as many professional athletes do... unless you are French citizen, then you are screwed but can go elsewhere)
No, "move the markets" means that the reporters have convinced readers their article contains new and salient information. That's not quite the same thing. For example, this gives Bloomberg reporters a direct financial incentive to portray their information as more solid and well-founded than it actually is and downplay any hint that it's not in fact new.
>"Portugal is very welcoming to US citizens, you won't have any "visa issues" the way you will in many of the [superficially] "cheaper" Asian countries."

Can you elaborate on this? Wouldn't a U.S citizen still be limited to only 90 days in the Shengen zone every 180 days? Or is there some type of freelance visa?
Do I have anything to worry about in Pune as a female engineer? I read about Pune on the net and it sounds nice, just want to make sure the community (tech and other) are as accepting as SFO. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!
"It’s small compared to these tier 1 cities in Western Europe"

Only London and Paris are much bigger.

Mtl is about 4 million people, it's almost the same size as Madrid or Berlin or Barca. A little smaller than Amsterdam but really bigger than most else.

But it's tier 2 size in North America, but a strong tier 2.

It's really weird how people in NA don't know about Montreal. It kills most places for culture.
We're talking about some of the highest paid people in the world here, with excellent job prospects should things go south. That's before we even get started on stock options and how many early employees of these startups become millionaires.

> A lot of cities in the Netherlands are easy to reach by public transport.
Easy to reach and very close to each other.

In particular, the Schiphol airport also has a major train station; it's very close to Amsterdam and Haarlem, but suitable for most of western Netherlands.
My self confidence arises from sufficient preparation. I maintain a checklist of daily essential activites that align with my long-term goals. I accomplish these early in the morning before leaving for work. They take two to three hours to complete. After completing these I feel accomplished and confident. Even if the rest of the day is unproductive due to meetings at work, at least I have the inner satisfaction of knowing that I still made progress in the things that matter the most to me.
That's a small part of the divisive propaganda. In our industry - software - the divisive money comes from U.S. corporations looking to sell ads and get cheap labor from all over the planet.

And in some cases destroying open source is a welcome side effect.
It's probably easier than moving to the US, it's a points system, much easier if you have a job and a technical degree, but not trivial either. We have quite a lot of immigration.

Who wants to live in Stockholm anyway? Malmö is much better connected to Europe. You can basically drive to Germany, You can fly anywhere from Copenhagen which is 20 minutes train ride away from Malmö. Copenhagen airport has a lot more flights than Stockholm.

That said, you get advantage of being right next to Copenhagen. It is a big market of jobs there. Salaries are high because it is a big, crowded city with high living expenses. So you could live in Malmö for cheap and commute to Copenhagen for work.

All that said, as a 26 year old, I managed to take a gap year in Malmö now, after working/saving for 4 years, while managing to keep paying my mortgage, owning a car etc.

I was very unconfident growing up. I had big ears and was the shortest kid in class until my later teen years. I used humour as a defence mechanism (class clown) but this doesn't work in adult life. When I got into the world of work I threw myself into learning and becoming the best at everything I did and soon became a subject matter expert in computer viruses - this was back in the early 1990's when AntiVirus software was born. Being the expert meant that when I was in a room with potential customers I had something they wanted - experience of this new threat and knowledge of how to deal with it. Put yourself in the position where you have something really valuable to offer and then learn to accept people asking you for help. This will really boost your morale and confidence. Re-invent yourself this way whenever you feel your knowledge or skills becoming commonplace and your will never look back.

Stats would be nice, I agree.

I have searched but haven't found anything concrete ... the best data available is: https://www.ef.edu.pt/epi/regions/europe/portugal

in lieu of stats, I'll give you the logic [facts] instead:
English as a Second Language (lessons) begins in the 5th grade in Portugal. It's compulsory for all people and generally high quality.

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Portugal

Students cannot graduate from High school without proficiency in English. So the system is setup to ensure that the next generation [the one you will be interacting with in most situations] is fluent in English.

I know from first-hand experience of going to a "government" school and being taught by a fantastic teacher who studied at Cambridge, UK. The English lessons are predominantly "mechanical" i.e. grammar/vocabulary and sentence structure.
But the fact that all television is sub-titled, not dubbed, means that all popular CSI/Fox shows are in English so the general population learn English "in use" much more effectively than in Spain, Germany or France.

All "Top Tier" STEM Universities are taught in English in order to help attract foreign students and help graduates get jobs abroad. This is a "double-edged sward" that has resulted in considerable "brain drain" to other countries. But we are seeing many Portuguese educated people who have worked abroad returning to start their own companies now which is really promising!

In Spain, many people speak English, however - and this is not meant to cause a "flame war" - since all television/media is "translated" [dubbed] people don't practice listening to English nearly as much, so the level of spoken english in the general population [outside of tech] is lower. There's a reason for the "Manuel from Barcelona" Fawlty Towers sketch/stereotype: https://youtu.be/s6EaoPMANQM

I love Spain and Barça [especially] is lovely! I worked there [as a waiter!] for 3 summers as a teenager. Loved it! But again, from first-hand experience, the level of English was much lower than in Portugal. This worked out well for me, because it forced me to learn Spanish. ;-)

> My Scala started off much prettier than my Groovy code usually is, but by the time I finished it was an abomination

> Sometimes I think I should just use Kotlin, but then I would miss the ability to drop seamlessly into dynamic mode

Have you considered Clojure for this use case? That might alleviate your problems with using Kotlin and Scala, without having to resort to a single-target language like Apache Groovy. After all, unlike what Clojure, Kotlin, and Scala all offer now, we're never going to see an edition of Groovy that targets Javascript, Android, or native CPU.
I'm Romanian so I might be biased.

I think Romania is awesome in terms of food. There are plenty of options (in the big cities, Cluj being one) in restaurants as well as in supermarkets. I always urge for Romanian food after traveling abroad. Home cooking is still big in Romania and you'll find a lot of restaurants offering "home cooked" like dishes.

In terms of stability I wouldn't worry, at least not for the next 3-5 years. Romania is a member of EU and NATO and I know it gets a lot of bad press (which is deserved and actually there is a lot of political turbulence lately) but for a foreigner I think it doesn't really matter (Poland and Hungary are still great regardless of the current political struggles).

The country is more than its government. If you’ve been to Istanbul, you would know that it’s a wonderful place. Should we shun the country and its people because they have been burdened with a bad ruler? We should look in a mirror first before passing such harsh judgment.

I know some trans people (both f2m and m2f) and they really don't have any issues, so yes, it's liveable. You probably won't find large LGBTQ communities like in major US cities though.

Of course if you ask a local if they know someone who got beat up for their identity (be it nationality, language, race or gender), they will usually respond affirmatively... as would quite a lot people in the West. Just don't mess with drunk idiots and you should be fine. Also, based on my observations, there's way less harassment towards women here than in the Bay Area, for some reason.
