Post-2015 Sweden is quite difficult to immigrate to if you aren't doing it via a skilled employment visa. The requirements, along with the amount of time it takes to get simple things working properly (like a social security number and a bank account) once you do get here are cumbersome. Plus housing is an issue, you will find that it is quite a struggle to get a permanent rental contract in the major cities like Stockholm and Malmö. The language is also quite difficult for us English speakers to learn because everyone loves to practice their English with you so even when you attempt to speak Swedish they recognise you are an English speaker and change languages.

I know that with repetition comes this kind of effeciency, but that's amazing to me, because when I make pizza it still takes me, like 45 seconds to really get it done...
Interesting. I’m asking because we’re working on an email client. Would love to integrate what you did. What’s a good way to discuss that?
I really like Wes Bos' courses, they cover full stack Javascript and some other FE stuff if you're interested in that. https://wesbos.com/courses/ is his list of courses.
> This is why product managers will never be 100% aligned with engineers. Product managers see "is the block there" and engineers see "is the block perfectly set" and "why am I not being appreciated?" and "why do they only care about putting down blocks".

I just want the damn PM to be able to tell me where the block should go instead of fucking around with bullshit vague descriptions like "the block should be in a good place". And after I get instructed to place a block midair somewhere, I'm going to want the PM to show that he actually decided "where" based on some kind of information and not by throwing darts.

It is also totally reasonable to expect that someone is looking at each block as part of the overall goal, and identifying that those blocks which were just placed on the ground next to the pyramid were a total waste of time. It doesn't have to be me - but if nobody is doing it, who says we'll end up with a pyramid at all!?

Would love to see a sonic comparison between Todo list apps on the variety of front end frameworks like React, Vue and Svelte.
I don't doubt you, but I suspect your startup was relatively well-funded and generous with its team. I know people who have earned that kind of money as well, but it's well outside the central part of the curve, even in tech and in London, for someone on salary. For independents with a good track record, sure, it's less unusual.
This is unlikely. What is more likely is that all of Chinas poor neighboring countries are simply not reporting cases.

If you are complaining that you can’t run 25 year old Mac software on an x86 Mac, the only option is for Apple to ship MacOS with a 68K emulator and a PPC emulator. The first version of MacOS that ran natively on x86 came out in 2006.

Yes I realize that PPC Macs came out in 1994. But they required a 68K emulator because even parts of MacOS were 68K.
> If the public system would be so bad as you describe it everyone would use the private ones but very few do.

The elephant in the room with SVN was that merging two branches repeatedly was fraught with errors that just seemed to grow quadratically. It was part of why we were on the verge of assigning dedicated maintainers for each release branch so that people only had to recall how the code works now and on their release.

I think people see rebasing as a way to subtract from N. If you have another way that everyone can be trusted to handle 3+ way merges handily and unconfusingly, then it’s a matter of retraining people.

If not, well...

Does this ever not happen? I am being serious... Have any of you worked at a company for any substantial period of time where some for of this has not become the norm?
Paul Krugman referred to the "kitchen test" at one point. If you go to your kitchen today and compare it to 40 years ago, what has changed? Arguably very little, maybe the only thing that would tell you what year you're in is a screen on your wall.

This seems like a test tailor-made to prove the point you’re trying to make. Why not ask the same question about how much your local VHS rental store has changed?

And as to 1870 -> 1970 vs. 1970 -> 2020, isn’t it obvious? One is a span of time twice as long! The fair comparison is 1920 -> 2020, or 1970 -> 2070. In which case I think the point evaporates pretty quickly.

yes, refactoring is never something that I would plan as a standalone thing - it's just a part of building features or fixing bugs.

If you're going to be working on a part of the codebase that you know is difficult to work with, you need to pad your estimate whether you're planning to refactor it or not - either you use the time to do the refactor, or you use the time to sort out the bugs you introduced by working on scary code without refactoring.

They would have to fuel the flight light, which I doubt would ever happen because what if the atmospheric conditions changed on the way?
Swede here: Yeah, Sweden tends to be romanticized by the american "progressives". As a swedish "rightist", you end up being in an annoying position. There's a lot of stupid stuff that happens here, for sure.

That said, it seems like the really expensive/complicated healthcare needs gets taken care of in a competent way, "for free" (paid for via the taxes).

My then 73 yo mom had a tumor that was growing behind her left eye-ball being removed, two years ago. Zero complaints about that hole produdure, and the 10+ post-prodedure checks.

I spent a few hours googling the doctor that was going to perform this particular surgery on my mom - I was left with the impression that he was on the international fore-front on this particular procudure. He was doing a bunch of international speaking on the the topic. I saw videos of him lecturing hundreds of surgeons on particulars of this kind of procudure. Quite re-insuring.

(And yeah, my mom ended up being okay after the surgery.)
Plenty of Singapore buildings have A/C. Some of the clusters so far include two churches, one Chinese medical store, and Grand Hyatt Singapore.
It's not super-common, but some employers do offer private health insurance. The numbers I saw suggested about 10% were covered by such insurance which isn't a huge number but isn't nothing either.

I think your point is actually just proving something important that I ended my initial post with - that there is almost never a "pure IO" workload, but that compute is actually an extremely important part of any service. Given node's concurrency model it's even more important, as compute can block other operations.

Wait what? I live here too, and many employers do pay for private insurance because it saves heaps of time for the employees. Why do you think the private options sprung up in the first place?

The public system has serious flaws. I was told by the public system to take antibiotics for 6 months straight while waiting for a tonsil removal operation. Got my operation a few days later through my private insurance.

I was merely pointing out it has significant and serious downsides as well (which may be overwhelmed by the upsides).

If we were to apply similar principles to software development, it would have benefits and also downsides, both of which should be considered.

It's pretty serious to accuse a foreign government of intentionally helping in the poisoning/killing of your citizens. Especially in the current atmosphere of growing anti-Chinese paranoia in the US (which predates the Coronavirus outbreak), people shouldn't be throwing around such accusations without solid evidence.

In the article, Ben Westhoff gives a much less conspiratorial explanation of why China was slow to crack down on fentanyl:

> China does not have a fentanyl crisis nearly the scope that the US does, or Canada, also has a really big problem. And so to a lot of people, this is why China hasn't really cracked down on its fentanyl industry, because its own people aren't dying from it. And so the way the Chinese government works is, fentanyl is illegal there, but it's not so much just the laws on the books, it's what resources the government dedicates to cracking down on different problems. And so when it comes to meth, which is a huge problem among Chinese citizens, the government has really focused on trying to stamp it out, take drug dealers down, disrupt operations. But when it comes to fentanyl being made there, that's just not the case.
I strongly disagree. Certainly management would normally be wise to hire good people and then listen to their advice and recommendations in a collaborative fashion, but ultimately it is management's responsibility to make these decisions and their subordinates' responsibility to execute management's plan.

There are several good reasons for this, not least that management is required to understand the bigger picture and how the activities under them fit into it, while in general subordinates are not.

Also, subordinates may have personal motivations that would conflict with the priorities of the business if everyone was free to do their own thing. A very common example is developers who come into a tech firm and want to use all the latest cool technologies because they're fun and look great on a resume, which is often not in the best interests of the business.
This is what virologists are expecting since it's clear containment has already failed.
The worst insurance you can get + max out of pocket is 12,000usd per year.

10 or 20 procedures, still 12k.

For the 10%ers/6 figure earners, this is 10% of the before tax income.

For the 90% making 15-19$/hr, I can't even imagine managing this.
Same in Austria. The healthcare system is free and very good if you have something life threatening but if not, you're looking at 2 month waiting time to see a specialist and there's no way I can be living and working with a health discomfort for that long so I pay up and see a private doctor.

The current situation benefits the lower class with voting rights who have access to good healthcare without paying much taxes and the upper class can afford private anyway but if you're hard working middle class you're kinda screwed since you have to go private and pay if you want quality treatment and diagnosis in a timely manner but you're also forced to pay and subsidize the public system, which you don't use anyway, with your very high taxes.

I feel Europe is slowly migrating to a two tier healthcare system, a private and quality but expensive one for the ones who can afford it and a public underfunded one for everyone else.
The system is gating the specialists way too much. But the actual care once you are there is usually very good.

Private insurance often just gets you past those gates.
It depends on what you want to measure. You want to measure the maximum pure power the OS can possibly give you? Then sure it's not a fair benchmark.

If you want to measure "real world" performance it is a fair benchmark.

> In the entire time I was there I attempted to see a specialist for a condition that I had maybe two or three times, I ended up giving up every single time after I was told the wait time is between 3-4 months.

It's the same thing they say about France (having a great healthcare system). But doctors [1] are going on strikes because of lack of amenities. Makes you wonder...

A private system where you chose your provider will always be better, imo, because the providers will have to compete. I think the US could do much better if they improve the pricing visibility and get the free market to make the prices go down. (I'm not very well versed in this topic, I'm just reading the news)

from you link, the key stand out paragraph for me was...

> Because many doctors are in private practice, they can benefit financially by increasing the volume of patients that they see, as well as by ensuring patient satisfaction, which can incentivize the overprescription of pain medication.
Sounds like the point of your comment is "all this is correct but you people are too incompetent to actually evaluate these signs".

Desktop-to-web deserter here, I’ll try to sum it all up.

- Browsers still have bad and ugly environments. You don’t have all features everywhere, even in recent versions. Things like “class Foo { static x = new this }”-level are missing, not some rare magic (like proper modules). Node.js is a different beast, despite a [vaguely stated] promise to be indistinguishable. Lots of env-neutral code written in node doesn’t work in a browser as is. Think msvc vs gcc/c99.

- CSS is just too low-level, people do like sass, less, etc very much. These have “includes”, functions, variables, flow control, non-css inheritance, bem-related isolation, common shorthands for a syntax. Modular apps cannot live without that.

- DOM is so flipping slow that it requires precise differential updates to it if you don’t want to charge your battery four times a day. It is also much less “cool” than desktop ui data-controls, and it requires a framework, which usually comes from node_modules for reasons above (prebundled versions exist for syntaxless fws). Also, too few people like to write a big single html (again, no “includes” etc) and bind it to the code directly, so there is vue, jsx, pug, etc. The more you abstract it away (dom, not html), the better it is for everyone.

In terms of programming, if you want an analogy, pure browser feels like a single qbasic file on steroids, while bundlers make it feel almost like a visual studio project (put here any decent ide if you don’t like vs).
You should be able to create a vnd that's larger than the host filesystem if you don't fill it.
How do I know who's right? I guess I'm not as smart as the 10xers here on hacker news who seem to always know the "right" side to take.

I don't know what side to take on England vs Ireland, India vs Pakistan, Russia vs Ukraine, and dozens of others around the world (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes )

So I'm not quick to judge. I don't even know if there exists an ethical and moral answer to these questions.
What's been know as .NET for the last 20 years is now called ".NET Framework", this is not unlike how OS X is now called MacOS retroactively. ".NET Core" is an entirely new framework that just happened to be compatible with ".NET Framework" but as time goes on the two have diverged.

The two weren’t initially slated to diverge at all. .Net Framework and .Net Core were suppose to be separate implementations of “.Net Standard”. In fact, you could originally create ASP.Net Core and EF Core apps that ran on top of .Net Framework.

NET Framework" and ".NET Core" are similar to Cocoa and Cocoa Touch in the sense that you can write code that will compile under both AND you can write code for either that will be incompatible with the other. In fact I maintain a half dozen packages that are compatible with both.

Which will not be the case for long since MS has stated that no new features will come to .Net Framework.

Microsoft didn't "abandoned" Windows CE, it stopped development for it 6 years ago as it was largely dead and Microsoft offers many pathways off of Windows CE. The CF actually runs on platforms other than CE intentionally such that any apps written for the CF will just work elsewhere. AND they still support CE and CF to this day, they just don't maintain or develop new versions of them.

Which is also not true. The last version of Visual Studio that supported Compact Framework was VS 2007. It was far from dead in the Enterprise by 2010 or even 2012. Companies were still relying on CF to run on their $1200-$2000 ruggedized field service devices. They had deployed literally thousands of devices in the field. I know, I was developing on VS 2007 until 2011 just to support them.

I mean devices like these that cost $1300 each. I deployed software for a few companies that’s had thousands of Intermech and ruggedized Motorola devices.

I am not a medical or public health professional, but my understanding from various medical podcasts [1] and reporting is, the source of the epidemic is over-prescription of opioids as a cure-all, even for non-physical pain and psychological maladies like anxiety. Similar to over prescription of antibiotics, except that opioids are addictive.

China didn’t cause this, we did, but there are suppliers in China cashing in on it. But so are other suppliers in the US and elsewhere.

This patch modifies UEFI to close a security hole but trashes the boot certificates and thus blocking boot up after update on some PCs. I've been setting update delay to one day on client PCs to give MS a day to pull a bad update. Looks like I need to set that to 4 or 5 days to avoid disasters like this.
