This work was inspired by https://github.com/alexkimxyz/nsfw_data_scrapper and for downloading images suggested to use scripts from the scraper.

You will find different txt files each of them contains list of URLs, here some stats for this set:

- 159 different categories

- in total 1 589 331 URLs

- after downloading and cleaning it's possible to have ~500GB or in other words ~1 300 000 of NSFW images

Google's phone screen feature has been nice for this. Press a button to screen incoming calls you don't recognize, so far 100% hang up by the end of the message.

I concluded a some time ago that soda drinks weren't adding a lot of value for me at all. And I heard some people claim that the artificial sugars actually are not that great for you. 1) they teach your body that sweet stuff has no nutrition, which then becomes a problem when you actually eat sweet stuff 2) sweeteners like aspartame build up in your liver and fat deposits, which may or may not have long term impact. 3) artificial sweeteners can cause issues with your gut bacteria/cause some irritation. All of that may or may not be true and I never really experienced any of that.

I used to just order a cola light/zero/diet in restaurants but it was more of a habit than something I actually particularly enjoyed. These days I usually go for water, tea, or coffee. Small change, probably a lot healthier, and I actually enjoy drinking it.
Keep interviewing at new companies, switch companies regularly and demand 15-20% more each time.
Aren't tables a bit like key-value stores where the key is an object ID and the value is the column values? My understanding is very vague, but i think that came out of PostgreSQL's heritage as an "object-relational" database, even if it's vestigial today.

AIUI, the NWU faq explains that even after a loaned copy is marked as "returned", the page images are present on the borrower's computer (at least in the browser cache). So there's not a 1:1 owned to loaned ratio: each "loan" effectively creates a new digital copy, which the borrower might retain indefinitely.
Not OP, but while I do like the privacy stuff like being able to request your data and get it deleted, what I don't like is the forced default opt-out and inability to deny a user a service if they don't share some data.

I like all the free ad based services I get to use online and prefer to see relevant ads not just because they are more interesting, but because I also want the websites to make more money to fund their services even more. I fear clauses like that would put the nail in the coffin for websites going to paywalls or it would possibly cause something like article 11 which to me seems like a clear last ditch attempt by your news agencies to make some money now that GDPR has/will_when_the_lawsuits_drop effectively kill targeted advertising businesses revenue.

I'm curious, have news agencies changed much since GDPR dropped, have any fines been dealt?
It is perfectly reasonable to argue that actually, practical arguments are the only ones that are relevant. It is not inherently apparent which crimes deserves how much incarceration without analyzing each one case by case.

Indeed - you only have to watch infants grow up to see them moving through the continuum, and something analogous probably happened in the evolution of our various hominin ancestors.

In the former case, and probably the latter, there is a definite acceleration when they begin to appreciate the power of language.
Three paths:

1. Start applying for new roles at new firms and asking for more.

2. Ask your manager what you need to do at work to move up to the next level of compensation and responsibility (if they don't have a good answer for this it's a warning sign).

3. Start your own side business (either consulting or selling a product).

Join a remote company that doesn't pay solely based on location. eg. Zapier, Buffer, or Canny. ;)

Check out Buffer's transparent salary calculator. https://buffer.com/salary/software-engineer/low. For an entry level software engineer in a low cost of living area (which France is probably not), you'd be making double what you're making now.

I think with the massive shift that's happening with remote work, market rate salaries will roughly converge no matter where you work.

How to Get Close to a Black Hole
If Salary is your only concern, your best option would be to move to the US. The process for getting a H1-B Visa is honestly quite difficult, but assuming you can get a company to sponsor you and you win the visa-lottery, you will probably see your salary double/triple (from about 30k to 70-100).

Alternatively, if you want/have to stay in Europe, start applying to other companies. Your current employer is not going to raise your salary unless you pressure them into doing so, and the only way of doing that is to have another job offer. Sadly, Job-hopping literally pays

Where Glaciers Melt Away, Switzerland Sees Opportunity
> In the talk, he gives several demonstrations a key aspect of why unix pipelines are so practically useful: you build them interactively.

The standard Unix interface might have been interactive in the ’70s, back when hardware and peripherals were horribly non-interactive. But I don’t know why so many so-called millenial programmers (people my age) get excited about the alleged interactivity of the Unix that most people are familiar with. It doesn’t even have the cutting edge ’90s interactivity of Plan 9, what with mouse(!) selection of arbitrary text that can be piped to commands and so on. And every time someone comes up with a Unix-hosted tool that uses some kind of fold-up menu that informs you about what key combination you can type next (you know, like what all GUI programs have with Alt+x and the file|edit|view|… toolbar), people hail it as some kind of UX innovation.

I think you need to also look at it from the DBAs stand point. If they did whatever the developers want and the system goes down or more likely other parts become slow, it is the DBA who gets the call.

In a large company like SW, the developer requesting some change for their app may have no idea how else the db is being used. What if their requested changes took down the db and prevented reservations from working?

My examples are extreme, but I have seen similar things in my years as both a developer and a DBA at times.

U.S. Revives Secret Program to Sabotage Iranian Missiles and Rockets
If your salary is about 2500 € per month, is it without or with the company taxes ("brut" or "net") ?

If I talk in the companies that I know in France, 2500€/months (with -"brut"- or without company taxes -"net"-) seems low to me. Maybe you can just find another job, the market is really open for developers ;)
Indeed, this is why I also mentioned the second point. Sometimes, it's a matter of feeling trapped and getting out of it - which is not far off for someone being well paid but living well within their means. The goal can give someone a strong drive. At other times, it's a matter of finding what really is bothering someone deep within their soul. Something entirely unrelated could manifest outwardly as boredom. So, in those cases, seeking to find this, then facing it could help one find a way to accept things or perhaps find a new drive towards an entirely different goal.
If staying in Europe is a requirement, NL or UK usually pays much better than France (given that you're already an inmigrant and some companies may pay you less than a native unfortunately). Otherwise and as many others have suggested, US is the answer.

"10% per year raises should be the norm"

do you mean even while staying with one employer, or by jumping to a new employer?
Then you can move to Paris to have a better salary but you will also pay more for your life... You could move seriously, there are a lot of companies in Paris that are looking for developers so they will pay more than what you earn now.

Yes, both Amazon and EBay are bad examples.

They are old-school because they are lazy about it, not because something is already optimized.

Whenever I hear about how great a Amazon is as a company, I just do a single search and am dumbfounded.

Example:

If you type the name of a product - even when it is in their catalogue - it may not come up.

Search for 'mousr' on Amazon and you only see PC mouses.

The only way you can get to the mousr product is by typing the company name.

It's ridiculous.

Tip of the iceberg.
> The relational model is not well suited to uncertain data, as a row in a table is generally interpreted as a true proposition

True, but the proposition does not necessarily indicate a certain fact about the world. It might be e.g. measurement or observation or opinion or guess or whatever. The proposition is just that the measurement, guess or opinion is this.
If staying in Europe is a requirement, obviously UK isn't a valid choice.

Need to know if his quoted income is pre or post-tax. France is a social country and you pay a lot of taxes for the social services, so his €2500 may be after tax and his gross is close to double that.
I wouldn't think about moving to UK right now, since the rules may change any day.

MEPs can only vote for/against legislation and if you've seen the videos posted on Youtube by an MEP two or three months back, it's a pretty rushed and not what I'd call rigorous process.

We did not vote in the EU commisioners who are the only ones who can initiate legislation, nor can we vote to get rid of them.

Where are you in France? There is basically two kind of salary in France: Paris vs everywhere else.
In Paris area, 2k/month for a junior fresh from school is not a lot. 2,5k is more common. After 2 years, you should be able to reach 3k/month. I am in this case and I currently earn 3,2k/month (.NET house fullstack job).

My main advice is to know that the market wants you. You are in very sweet spot. Always ask more and be ready to bluff an alternative if needed.

My second advice is to always be "à l'écoute du marché". Be ready to switch if something really nice show up. You can go to an interview even if you think you are not going to change. Take the 'propal'.

My last advice is to be willing to switch. I read somewhere that most developer got a better raise by getting a new job. In my own experience, it is true.

Finally if you find a really sweet job, maybe you should keep it. Even if you could earn more somewhere else. Big bucks is useful to pay your debts, but at 3k you should be able to have a peaceful life in France. Enjoy your stay.

Edit: We are talking about "net" salary here without bonus or shenanigans.

Edit2: Yes we hire (like everybody). (C#, F#, Typescript, React, SQL)
Basically, stop doing development work and start doing Project Management, Product Management, Business Analysis, etc.
But look into contract work. In particular in Scandinavia, London, Switzerland ...

(Though if you only have two years of experience then that might be too little to get this type of employment.)
Good shout. I’m actually modified one irrelevant detail in my portrait to prevent that (I always do: it helps identify leaks-- a paranoid habit that I got from working with unreliable people).

But then again, I’d be shocked if those had any consequences: she was probably gone under a month, both quotes were based on staggering observations as we were sitting there. The place acted like recess at a middle-school.
Usually changing jobs helps. But don’t forget one thing: ask regularly for more money at your current job. A lot of people don’t do that. Let your bosses know you are not happy. Regularly.
Try to join a large company that earns a lot of money (Pharma, Oil, Banking ...) : the salaries are good and there are a lot of side perks like extra leave days, bonuses, additional bonus based on the company performance ...
The UK may be leaving the EU, but it's still in Europe.

But I agree, it's not a good choice right now. Let the situation settle down there first.

I would still guess it has little to do with the diet soda itself and everything about the persons habits, which led them to drink diet soda twice or more per day. It seems unlikely artificial sweetener can have this impact. If it can, that is definitely interesting and the mechanism should be discovered.
I found the crew's control of the dimming function far too aggressive on Air India. Even on a midday flight at 1330, the windows were dimmed all throughout till we landed at around 2200. It didn't help that I couldn't sleep throughout, so it was painful to be in a cabin with next to zero natural light.
Without understanding the cost of living in France I'd suggest moving to Berlin. There are lots of good companies here with great culture and various growth opportunities. You might be better off salarywise as well - but apartment rental is not cheap. It's hard to tell your next best move without having more insight into your level of seniority, experience etc.
Well, money isn't everything.

Despite all the bad things the US has to say about socialism it made France a really nice spot for "workers". Working conditions/hours, job safety, amount of vacation days, education, health, parental leave, retirement, overall quality of life, &c.

If you want to create a multi billion $ company, get absurd amount of investors money and don't like taxes you probably should look somewhere else.
Move to London
NL is in my experience not great for employee developers. Somehow companies tend to believe managers should make more money than programmers.

For freelancers it's pretty good, though. Biggest boost to my income ever.
Move to London, there's tons of places hiring for people with React experience and it shouldn't be hard to find somewhere paying £50k + if you've gone some years experience.
One interactive feature I like about Bash though (or shell or whatever) is C-x C-e to edit the current line in a text editor (FC). Great when I know how to transform some text in the editor easily but not on the command line.

With all the above and below said, if you're just starting out your career it's much more important to be at the right place than it is to earn a lot. Of course you shouldn't accept being underpaid but moving to a sh.tty company at which you're not growing just for a few more euros is suicide.

the hero we need but don't deserve
How should one go about finding freelancing opportunities in NL?
It absolutely is. By appealing to nicety, you can screw people over subtly enough that it doesn't register to observers as offense, and then act offended yourself when you get pushback.

You can also add in some fundamental attribution error, as in "I am just looking out for everyone. You are being difficult. They are engaging in bad faith."
In the US, you do it by moving to a new company. Every significant double-digit percentage increase I've ever received was by changing jobs.
2500 after the tax ? That's not bad after 2 years. I've only heard horror stories in France when it comes to salary negotiation. Basically the regular devs (=not very specialized field) have no bargaining power and there is this silent seniority (sometimes plain cronyism) in which only a few people CAN become harder to replace (working on core things) and get slowly promoted - no matter what they do. The rest are being deliberately kept out of important/complicate/sensitive work. My observation is that there are basically 2 ways to get a raise in France (again, if you are not very specialized) :

1) jump from job to job every 2 years max asking for more and hoping there is no recession

2) stay in the same company forever and/or become friends with the important guys.

Both are risky. In my limited experience the French companies put significantly less value on experience and/or skill compared to US.
I can't speak for Seattle but airport capacity seems the secondary issue. The primary being that US is just flabbergastingly inefficient.

A layover in the US almost always translates to me missing my connecting flight when I go in or out of this country.
No matter what airport I go through.
I stopped reading the essay at paragraph four when the boilerplate Marxist horse-hockey kicked in. Does that count as being distracted?
I made the move from france to Berlin.

Salaries are about the same as in Paris, taxes are higher though, but the cost of living in Berlin is much lower.

It's probably easier for a english speaker to blend in Berlin than Paris too.
The intensity and frequency of frustration are quite likely to subside if you are able to accept these:

- humans do not always act in their long term best interests

- humans do not always act in a rational manner

- often the former is indistinguishable from the cases where you are not aware of someone's incentives

- true change requires that people really accept it internally (and not just mere commitment to act differently)
I don't disagree with your overall point, but if you care about accuracy, you shouldn't also conflate an engineering goal with an estimation. I couldn't find the original estimation, but considering the unknowns we're talking about and the sunk costs, surely a 4-8x safety margin (1-2 years estimation) is not unreasonable. So we're at most talking about a 15-fold wrong estimation, not 50.
