You're also using the coal mine, just not directly. This is like justifying your personal waste based on the fact that a neighborhood of 10,000 people collectively wastes 10,000 times as much, and you also live in that neighborhood.
How much time would be considered enough? I’m not disagreeing, just an honest question. Would it need to be 50% of the company’s life, rather than ~11%? 25%?
Oops yes, I would actually have said 10 stone 10. I just copied the comment text because I was focusing on the 2 meters

Which is why you should treat it as what it is: an amoral, profit-driving entity which will predictably act in it's own self-interest.
Facebook has the messenger app, that is pretty useful. Otherwise I don't use facebook much.
Maybe light mode is better for code review and dark for code writing. Subject to personal preference.
I don't think the epoll/kqueue version ever got an official release :(

The syscall reduction was pretty extreme, even down to keeping a shared-memory copy of time() to share across processes. IIRC that was only a benefit for HP-UX/IRIX or something like that...
Thank you for saying this, before I had a chance to. And to add to it - many companies also make vendor purchase decisions for tools/technologies not on a strategic vendor analysis, but on which ones they see at conferences.

I disagree with the author of this post. Sometimes the purpose is not just to go from Point A to Point B, but to have a little bit of fun and who cares when or where you end up. I think this satisfies that urge.
There's a lot of value in a semi-vacation, particularly in the United States, where it's not common to have more than two weeks of time off a year.
> I don't know that much about Peterson, but from what I understand he would be aligned with believers in progress like Pinker, and therefore not "reactionary".

The belief in "progress" does not disqualify one from being a reactionary (and I don't mean to make any specific comment on Peterson or Pinker since I've only read critiques of certain aspects of their thought, so I don't feel qualified to judge them as wholes).
The clearest benefit of conferences for developers is networking and the "hallway tracks" -- the emergent discussions that arise after talks. The social processes of these are hard to replicate online. The asynchronous nature of online text chat, perhaps the most apt widely-deployed alternative, already lessens the urgency and spontaneity of the discussion. There are people who don't take advantage of the opportunities to insert themselves into emergent conversations, and unless their presence alone is a positive signal for the company, they're largely wasting their company's money.

The clearest benefit of conferences for sponsors is the potential lead between frontline-but-backoffice workers who work on a particular topic to the decision-makers behind them who can influence purchasing. Being present at conferences fosters passing familiarity of developers with the product, which helps conversations that occur between those developers and their bosses later: the emails from the higher-ups that ask "what do you think about Product?", and the off-the-cuff gut assessments that follow. Irrespective of the developer's initial reaction, name recognition of the product sticks around and often makes it to later rounds of evaluation and assessment.
‘All we know is money’: US cities struggle to fight hackers
(If anyone is wondering, yes, I did tell Watts about this years ago but he apparently hasn't gotten around to updating it.)
Just look at the hiring process. Almost no other profession accepts a lengthy hiring process as crazy as it is for software engineering now. And the meanest interviewers are fellow engineers.

Us engineers are often too hard on each other while silently accepting abuse from above.
Anecdotally it seems to me that not only is most business travel wasteful, but the people who do it the most are the most wasteful (e.g. a junior dev won't make a trip unless it's really needed where an exec won't think twice). Thus the people who fly the most use are the most thoughtless about it, and certainly at their level the cost of air travel is an insufficient reason to modify behavior. It seems like a progressive carbon tax would be good: a light load on the poor schmuck who flies with great deliberation once a year, whereas the private-jet C-exec should have to pay such an large amount in carbon tax (more than a linear function of CO2) that it causes them to actually sit up and take notice.

> Is immigration feasible for a random white collar person?

Probably. It requires finding a job, or having a lot of money, though, as you aren't immigrating to Scotland, but to the UK. UK's visa and immigration website [1] is actually very straight forward and easy to navigate for anyone wanting more info.

> What's actually required to gain residency (and is it permanent)?

There are a few paths to permanent residency (not necessarily citizenship). The simplest is via by getting a job that sponsors your visa and staying at it for 5 years, and then applying for right to remain. You will not be a citizen, but you will have the right to stay regardless of your job, and may be eligible for public funds.

The next best option is the Entrepreneur Visas. Option 1: £200k of your own money (can be from friends, family investors, etc) ready to invest in starting a company, or Option 2: £50k of money from registered UK VC fund or a UK government seed grant (not sure how easy this is).

Both options give you a 3 year visa extendable to 6 years 4 months, and at 5 years, you are eligible for the right to remain in the UK.

> Is there a path to citizenship?

There definitely is, but it is complicated, and maybe unnecessary. There is a kid on YouTube [2] who talks more about this.

> And with Brexit looming, will this all change in a few years?

I'm not a soothsayer, but I'd wager most of my weekly allowance (~$70) on yes.

I’m Danish and I realise our benefits and rights are generally a lot better than most places, but I would never work 70 hours a week unless I owned the company. So I think you have the right idea in leaving as soon as you can.
Why would anyone want to get rid of nation states? Merging them would create even larger and slower bureaucracies, breaking them into smaller pieces would not be allowed. The only solution is to let them be and try to build something new.

> Ask them their opinions on the big crimes (murder/rape/arson etc). Will they allow me to keep slaves on my seastead?

Are you complaining that there are not enough crazy people?

No one wants to escape the real laws, because they are proven to be necessary for the society to work, and everyone agrees about them. The "minor regulations" are the laws that make all the difference.

> These are nothing more than rich randians complaining about their tax bracket

When this "rich randians" make the technology for living and working in a floating city cheap, they not only will get what they want but also will make it possible for "brave marxians" to try out their ideas too, and maybe they'll finally will build the society that will show to everyone that high taxes and planned economy are the best things.
