hi, I did the reverse - go back home to the USA after a decade away. Some thoughts for you to think about:

* Heraclitus applies. You've changed, both by maturing that you'd do anywhere, as well as by being in a different culture. Your home country has changed. In both cases, that's in some ways for the better, in some ways for the worse, but in all cases different than what you expect. Remember to keep an open mind as to why things don't work the way that you're used to, five years is enough for you to change your expectations. You almost have to treat going home as going to a new foreign country.

* Have you a berth lined up already ? Job hunting trans-Atlantic is hard, but so is job hunting while you're unemployed. Not sure which European country is involved, but some it's harder than others to get a mid-level position from outside. Remember your connections from undergrad, etc. have largely forgotten you and will meet you for a coffee to catch up but will not be as supportive of you as if they had worked with you side-by-side over the past years. To the extent that you can get hired by either clients or employers with whom you deal with in the USA, you'll have a much better time than if you try going in cold. If you can't arrange that, invest the next trip home into laying groundwork for your future more serious search by networking, conferences, maybe a continuing ed event to the extent relevant. Remember in Europe the job market has many more frictions than in the USA. Also general business culture and practices are different - I take from your description you've never formally worked in Europe other than maybe at the internship level.

* Your reentry will go better if you take serious thought about why you are doing it. Think of reasons pulling you home rather than pushing you out of here - if you blame being in the USA for why you are unhappy, you'll find the same emotional baggage follows you along with your shipping container.
I’d say that goes double for Amazon who can’t be bothered to check if the thing in their inventory is genuine.

I would argue that FUD does exactly what you claim to not be doing. Raising concerns without substantiation, against an entire class of trading. Rather than just specific instances of bad behaviour.

I would add that the linked article, which is about car washes not ice-cream vans is equally FUD-driven. Weasel words like "linked to", "concerns", "thought to be" are used frequently, but no hard evidence of slavery is presented.

Slavery is a crime in UK. If there have been successful prosecutions and those demonstrate prevalence, rather than sporadic occurrence in an industry, then your blanket aspersions might be justified.

Otherwise, please refrain. Such FUD is likely to needlessly harm the business of law-abiding traders.
I thought about that, but then, if you setup that kind of a system, isn't it your responsibility to worry about how to generate and persist cryptographic state? It's such a niche and advanced use-case by someone who should really know better considering the setup... why should all the other >95% of users pay such a price for it?

Edit: Replaced "host keys" with "cryptographic state".
Disney's stands on gay characters and abortion are considered politics by that group of nuts, is it not? Those stands are manifested in their product, as I just demonstrated. This contradicts your comment in the post I responded to.

In my ethical framework it is more than fine to take advantage of a mistake by one of the largest companies in the world. They'll take advantage of you if given the chance.
> If it's okay to end up with the second one of your examples (without the ":=" operator), why did we need to add the walrus operator at all?

A couple of reasons:

- The walrus eliminates a line of code in the very common scenario where you would prefer not to recalculate (or retype) y().

- The walrus makes it easy to avoid recalculating y() in the less common scenario where you need to avoid doing that.

> I don't find this to be a clear statement at all.

Nonetheless, it is the normal English syntax used to name something and then immediately define the meaning of that name. If you want to map the Python structure to an equivalent English structure, that is the equivalent English structure. ("Thomas Jefferson, the third president, was a man about whom much can be said.") If you want to map the Python code to an English statement of what the code does, use the reading I first suggested, "if y(), do something with it". If you want to dictate Python code to an English speaker, use the reading "if x colon-equals y()".

So let me ask you: is the problem you'd like to solve "I want to understand what this code does", is it "I like thinking about English grammar", or is it "I'm too busy to type my own code; that's what my secretary is for"?
I made the same decision the other day. The redesign is such a pain to use that it's absolutely unbearable.
My first though was the same as the snarky sibling comment, but after reading TFA I realized these are all features I've used in other languages and detest. The walrus operator an complex string formatting are both character-pinching anti-maintainability features.

A previous similar incident became a legendary in-joke over at MetaFilter 18 years ago:

Astounding. I can't take a moral argument seriously from any of you who jumped at the opportunity to take advantage of an honest mistake. I don't want to hear ever again about greedy corporations or crooked politicians. You people just showed that you're willing to turn a blind eye when it is to your benefit. How does that make you any different from those you rail against? –

Lua is pretty close, and pretty close to Python in terms of style and strengths.

Edit: I actually forgot about the split between LuaJIT (which hasn’t changed since Lua 5.1), and the PUC Lua implementation, which has continued to evolve. I was thinking of the LuaJIT version.

Sorry I wasn't around today to respond more timely, but I appreciate all the interest and thoughtful responses. After reading through them, I think I see a misunderstanding. One of the advantages of the pencil width beams is that they do not have to be on all the time. The beam will not turn on and point at you unless it sees your device advertising. As soon as that is interrupted, the beam goes elsewhere to service others within usually a few hundred microseconds. So the beam will not hit you, it is aiming at the antenna on your device, if the energy is not being absorbed into the antenna it goes away. So worse case you get a few 100us of lower level energy than the FR1 band.

Think of it like this, say you are a gNodeB (5G BTS) your job is to shine a laser pointer on a sign that hays hello. As soon as you cant see it because someone got in front of it you look for a different sign to shine it on. You don't want to waste time and energy shining it on something that is not an antenna.

So what happens when the FR2 mmwave is interreupted ? You of course fall back to FR1 which is on all the time. Remember it is the same frequencies as 4G LTE but now using 5G protocols and a new more efficient modulation scheme (5Gnr, for new radio which uses NOMA instead of OFDMA).

So really you need both. It all depends on the amount of spectrum, but typically for most of the large carriers the low band users can expect 1Gbps - 2Gbps speeds and in high bands mmwave 2Gbps - 10Gbps.

So even when it rains or you get blocked, it's still pretty darn cool !

Guido wasn't chased off, he is still in the core group. He just isn't BDFL anymore -- which, from a certain point of view, might be the best of both worlds. As a long-time python user and small-time advocate, I felt the walrus was a really bad decision.

> Can you give an example? This seems to go directly against first amendment rights.

Like I said, many manga/anime/games were modified to remove any casual use of religious symbol when released in US. These days, major products don't contain these beforehand if it's famous enough to expect US release.
Yes, Amazon would be. That doesn't make what the customer did ethical.
I was just disagreeing with "Microservices are almost completely opposed to agile development". You can be agile in both monolith architecture and micro-services. I don't see why microservices can be opposed to agile.
I doubt they will cancel the orders. Amazon lives by customer service. They seem to just write off their mistakes directly from revenue. I learned this when I was scammed for a $5000 and Amazon let the scammer keep, refunded me and closed the issue in one fell swoop.
Most of the ones I have been to do.
That totally sounds like a startup idea.

Maybe have an app or webpage where you push a button and some contracted delivery person brings you an apple.
My guess is they could request the item back, and if they really wanted to, put a negative balance on your account effectively banning you from Amazon without a return. Whether or not they would sue you or win and collect is a different story.

All of this is assuming this was not an intentional PR test by Amazon for Prime day. One would presume that that is possible.

This is a good question to ask, especially about the nightly builds from upstream. There have been NPM exploits targeted at crypto currency developers (e.g. the event-stream breach), so it seems FB would be placing a lot of trust in the Rust developers. This is not to say Rust maintainers are dishonest, but all it takes is one person who's authentication credentials gets comprised.
Me, I am old enough to know Perl, and I've got plenty of one-line skeletons in my own closet. And it more-or-less entered the world already vastly more TMTOWTDI-y than Python is after 3 decades.

FWIW, I tend to think of comparisons to Perl as being a lot like Nazi comparisons, only for programming languages. And I do think there's some wisdom to the Godwin's Law idea that the first person to make a Nazi comparison is understood to have automatically lost the argument.

It's just that, at this point, Perl is both so near-universally reviled, and so well-understood to be way too optimized for code golf, that any comparison involving it is kind of a conversation-killer. As soon as it shows up, your best options are to either quietly ignore the statement in which the comparison was made, or join in escalating things into a flamewar.

Sure. Two of the most egregious examples are the early coverage of the Vietnam war and basically all of the coverage of the U.S. meddling in Latin American politics. There's also its long track record of uncritical coverage of the so-called "war on terror", especially during Obama's tenure. When not busy toeing the military-industrial line, the Times is happy to report that there's still a genuine debate about whether climate change is real [1] and that people who have flatly been accused of rape are simply having "#metoo problems."

Most places hiring policies mean you have to go through the same meat grinder, else you’ll get accusations of favoritism. A network will get you in the interview room quick though. I think this stops applying at some level higher above. Directors aren’t hazed with someone’s pet NP-Hard question, I’d guess

x = [5, 6, 7, 8] # Binds a new `x`.
Baumol’s cost disease might be a true phenomenon, but it makes artificial constraints not he supply of labor all the more insidious. The cost of a doctor or nanny is going up, but Congress + the AMA artificially limit the amount of medical residencies. That’s one small reason why the medical industry is broken. There are also many regulations that serve to increase the average price of a nanny.

Musicians, on the other hand, were subject to intense technological disruption. They offer a fundamentally different product with different methods of distribution. I don’t think they are a good illustration of Baumol’s cost disease.

> In a language with less features, you might have to write slightly more code, but the code you write will be more readable to everyone else.

I disagree with this, which is precisely why I prefer feature rich languages like Java or better yet Kotlin. It doesn't get much more readable than something like:

users.asSequence()
.filter { it.lastName.startsWith("S") }
.sortedBy { it.lastName }
.take(3)

Now try writing that in Go or Python and compare the readability.
Wow, I remember that one!

Forewarned is forearmed. I headed into adulthood watching out for such mirages. For example: Making sure to listen to pop music enough that it does exactly what pop music is supposed to do (worm its way into your subconscious) so I don't wake up one morning unaccountably believing that Kylie Minogue was good but Taylor Swift isn't.

My understanding of Python will probably never be quite as good as my understanding of C, but I can live with that.

Those stands are manifested in their product, as I just demonstrated. This contradicts your comment in the post I responded to.

Not really. Politics manifested as a talk show host, like Ellen Degeneris is fine. People know who Ellen is, and what she thinks. So they can tune in or not, according to their preferences. What I'm referring to is the imposition of politics to customers who don't want it and aren't seeking it out. It's not manifestation of politics, period. Most art has some politics in it. It's a certain disingenuousness and/or high-handedness in doing so.

Thanks for pointing out where I should clarify.
That's what Go has been so far but it might see some changes soon after being "frozen" for ~10 years.
Mocking the religion is not a problem, The problem is casual reference of religion with no political intention.

Like in fictional manga/anime/game where the character with supernatural power has attack power which when invoked, bright Christian cross or Buddism manzi appears or in-fiction religion(Totally not Christianity) use Christian cross as a symbol.

I wonder what is an acceptable "make it work"?

I had an old GM car and looked at it on a lift once and... "hey, what are those?"

shims. It had lots of shims from the factory to make the body straight.

I suspect there are lots of these "fixers" in many products that will work unnoticed, but people might not want to know they exist.

Unfortunately that is mostly the ocean. It takes around 3 hours to get through Denmark between Sweden and Germany. You could probably double that if you wanted to traverse Denmark. Three decades between the Øresund Bridge and the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link is a bit ridiculous to be honest. Maybe the countries can't support more, but I don't think one should expect to do well going that pace.
No, just a SyntaxError.

Generally, library authors won't be able to use it if they want to support many versions; same as with f-strings.
Why does `while x < 10` look ridiculous? It looks exactly like the syntax for regular while loops, just in this case it's after a `do:` block. And the example above yours looks like try/catch syntax, but tbh I like the one you suggested a bit more.
How is it easier to on-board new engineers? You mentioned but did not explain this point.

I can think of more than two ways to do a lot of things in Python. Besides the ":=" doesn't work exactly the same.

Also, I can't bring myself to call it the walrus operator. Sorry, guys. I had a Pascal teacher ages ago who pronounced it "gets" and that has always stuck.
It's worse than that. "Given", hell, they have whole teams of people lobbying and marketing and scheming to create such chances.

> It is perfectly acceptable and even advantageous to design for a high peak:normal load ratio, with thermal throttling.

Thermal throttling is never acceptable. You should be able to peg the CPU at 100% indefinitely without any throttling.
My advice after doing this: charge a lot; you have to pay for the time you're not working. Keep your schedule full: be closing always. Look for passive income; retainer +hourly is a good model. Dress professional when on site (premium brand image). Provide value, don't nickel and dime your customers. It's a hard business model to execute.
