I discovered it the hard way when I immigrated to the Netherlands in late 2018. For a senior role it doesn’t make a financial sense to move to EU. Especially so if you have kids as international school will punch a huge hole in the pocket.

We couldn’t save absolutely anything from what we earned. If not for RSU it would have been a financial disaster for me. Due to lack of growth opportunities I moved back last year and the quality of life (financially) has jumped up again.

Also, I found the tech scene to be not as vibrant in EU. Most of them are government run digital transformations or outsourcing work. I also discovered that IT is way down the pecking order which is reflected in salaries. And being a hiring manager when I interviewed candidates I saw that they didn’t have as much exposure to large scale software development. I later realized that the best of the lot just immigrated across the Atlantic to earn multiple times than what they would in Europe.

To answer your last question, attrition in FAANG companies are around 8%. In startups it varies wildly. I would discount the last 8-10 months of data because the job market has absolutely exploded with offers thanks to insane funding of startups as well as more US companies moving jobs to India due to WFH.

Software professionals across all experience levels have never had it so good in India.

Back in the 80s you couldn't go out to anywhere (bars, pubs, restaurants, music clubs, pool houses, etc) without coming back with every piece of clothing stinking to smoke. The percentage of people smoking in public was so high that there was no way to avoid this, other than stay home.

Today (and for the last ~20 years or so) I haven't smelled cigarette smoke in ages and haven't seen anyone anywhere smoking. Public smoking has completely disappeared (California here). I see cigarettes are still for sale in convenience stores so someone must be buying them, but I guess they all smoke at home only now. So the anti-smoking campaign has worked exceedingly well.
It's funny, I'd say that the reason these devs don't need to understand the lower layers is because the layering abstraction was built well enough. That's a good thing!

It’s not unheard of for those to differ.
I'd say it's pretty unfair to take clean build time to consider doing something useful. 98% of my rust builds are incremental builds which take 10-15 seconds for a project I have been working on for 9 months full time and I think my dependency tree has easily 1000 dependencies.

There’s a difference between an explanation and an excuse, and between counterexamples and “hand waving.” I’m sure it makes you feel superior to dismiss opinions and comments with vague references to logical fallacies or indefensible arguments, but just hauling out big words doesn’t make you right, or even make any sense.

I can’t fix everything wrong with software development. I’ve been doing it for 40 years and we just keep making the same mistakes. My small contribution is fixing broken code one customer at a time, at least leaving the campsite cleaner than I found it. I don’t lose a lot of sleep over our collective failure to write perfect software.
The biggest problem for me is dealing with UIs that are not designed to deal with IMEs. Like websites with autocomplete forms that fight with the IME.
But science has no way to observe consciousness even in those entities with central nervous systems, not even humans. The inference of consciousness is entirely based on observed behaviours being similar. I'm not asserting that plants have consciousness. But I am suggesting that we ought not to completely dismiss the idea.
I totally love this part:

When “Agile” ideas are applied poorly, they often lead to more interference with developers, less time to do the work, higher pressure, and demands to “go faster”. This is bad for the developers, and, ultimately, bad for the enterprise as well, because doing “Agile” poorly will result, more often than not, in far more defects and much slower progress than could be attained. Often, good developers leave such organizations, resulting in a less effective enterprise than prior to installing “Agile”.

I can totally relate with this experience in a previous company I've worked with. They effectively starting the transition to Agile, but the execution was so poor and the general culture was so immature with a lot of chain of command and top-down that it ended up being a total toxic nightmare. I end up blaming Agile for this at first, but now i'm realizing that was not the tool.

That's an alternative only if you don't need a car regularly. You still have to book a vehicle (availability can vary), get to the collection lot, get back home if you need to pick up someone for the trip, take the trip, deliver the passengers, clean up and fuel/charge the vehicle, deliver it back to the parking lot and get back home.
That is true and one of the few successful examples. I wonder if the cold war played a role here, there was an honest ambition not to let Germany fall to the communits.
Is Aurora Serverless Worth It?
I wish it was as successful in Europe. People here smoke so much and almost anywhere. it’s banned indoors though, but smoking in a playground or while holding your baby in the other arm is perfectly fine and socially acceptable.
> About 30% of adults still smoke where I live

Where is that? In some places it's dropped precipitously since measures have been taken. The UK, USA, New Zealand and Australia have adult smoking figures of 13-14%. Continental Europe seems to have much higher rates, with the exception of Sweden, and the rest of the world still seems to have it pretty bad.

No because the method of achieving that goal is to push the worst CO2 generating processes out to less privileged countries and then blaming them for it. It's just carbon credits with more xenophobia.
So then a lifetime dictator should have a very green awesome success record? Well, I don't know of any data to support that assumption.

Also, most politicians are indeed concerned about their heritage in the history books, so they have motivations to do something beyond their office time.

But what should they do? There is not really a broad concensus on how to transform the whole worlds industry into CO2 free. Because that is not really easy.
I believe it is doable and I actually see much more change into that direction, than I thought possible a few years ago.
But when a vast amount of the population of the earth still struggles to survive - how can they save on CO2. They need to eat now.
Technically it's incredibly complicated, unreliable and crazy it even works at all. The upside is that mobile phones have the same problem space, and Japanese was ready from get go to deal with autocomplete on crammed touchscreens.

From a user point of view, you get used to it and it's not so bad after a while. The irritating parts (e.g. having to get back to the middle of your sentence to fix a typo otherwise the surrounding characters are also messed up) are offset by the ease to input emoji, pictograms, or basically any unicode char. you remember the name is a godsend ♡

Conversely, I had a friend named Γωγώ, a Greek name trasliterated as "Gogo" in the Latin alphabet. When she went to stay in France she wrote her name as Roro to help French speakers produce the correct sound (gamma, "γ", is pronounced much like the French "r").

And to avoid being called "go-go" of course.

I'm not sure I've ever met anyone in real life who says "hwen", "hwere", etc., although you can hear it in some Johnny Cash songs. I'm not sure exactly where in America you can hear it - is it a southern thing? You'll never hear anyone say "hwen" in the UK.
So... IDK.

Intellectually, I agree with this. Applied to the personal sphere, a company, family or whatever... being pro something else is probably the way to go. As a macro-political goal... perhaps not.

For a big, hairy example, look at revolutions, or politics generally. Take the American, French or other republican revolution. They were anti-King. Democratic republics were an afterthought, something to fill the void. The Communist Manifesto is notably light on communism. Half of it is anti capitalism. The other half is anti other versions of socialism. Most independence movements of the last century+ were nationalist by default, the actual motivating sentiment was anti imperialism. The hole in the ozone layer was reverse by being anti-cfl, not pro-replacements. Meanwhile, solution-focused movements like the overfishing haven't been very effective.

It's not a pleasant thought, but I think people are just easier to rally against something than for something.
I've heard it's pronounced "Win", but don't take my word for it.
Well 2 reasons I think: one is money. The more educated - the more likely to go for career and not for children. The 2. overly living in the head.

It is more extreme in Berlin, but I think in general the spread between new rent and old rent is very high.

I.e. in Munich, the average rent per square meter is about 10€, while the average for new offers is almost 17€.

This is a problem because nobody is moving out of their places, so people get stuck in the wrong flat. Old people won't leave their too big places after their kids left, young people with kids live in places that are to small.

(No shade thrown at the old people, I'd also not want to leave the place I lived in for so long. But on a bigger scale, it's an issue.)

I care because 1. I don’t want to get cancer or damage my health as a result of smokers‘ poor life choices, 2. smokers diseases costs everyone a ton of money (universal healthcare or not, the premiums have to at least cover the costs), 3. there are many children who get to breath their parents second hand smoke who will develop health problems later or even a nicotine addiction as a result of their parents‘ poor life choices.

It’s not just a matter of life and let live. One smoker on a terrasse or park ruins it for the 20 others who don’t smoke but get to breathe in the stench and the carcinogens.
Anywhere. Yes, there are "whois guard" services, but that's actually email relays (like aliases). You must provide your identity information (name, surname, other passport/id data, address, etc.) to buy a domain name.

Any "privacy-oriented" registrar just hides that information from whois records, but you still share it to registrar, so in case of government requests or data leak your PII will be exposed.

There is no anonymity in internet, only pseudoanonymity.

That's basically what I meant by "ergonomics" -- do you think we're still quite far from researchers being able to develop their own "tactics" to automate the sort of reasoning that would normally be "left as an exercise" to the reader of a research publication?
A little further off-topic. I knew (well) a mathematician who most of the department thought a bit odd, and he was. If you asked him "how are you?", he would take longer than is usual to respond. I fairly quickly realised it was because he considered that nicety as an actual question and gave a considered response.
End-Stage Recurrent Glioblastoma Treated with Oncomagnetic Device
I get what you mean and agree with the broad point, but I really, truly do both want to learn more about foreign languages and also feel it is both polite and good culture to try to pronounce the names of long-term colleagues as well as I can. I love foreign languages, I love Korean consonants, I love German Vowels, I love the French Schwa.

I wouldn't want to put that on anyone to explain when obviously I can just get more foreign language tapes, but I do actually legitimately prefer to get it right if I can, and the process of learning to say it right is super fun... but I've spent my whole life having to spell and pronounce my name for everyone so it just doesn't seem like a big deal.

But yeah, I can see it getting annoying. I definitely wouldn't insist on it over a casual "<foo> is fine" but I do want to learn to do better at things if I can!
Exactly. Free, well-supported, useful, widely-deployed, used by lots of developers.

The EU has a massive trade surplus, they actually manufacture quite a bit internally including many CO2 heavy industries, they are also importing vast amounts of fossil fuels. Germany was running a larger total trade surplus than China up to 2018, exporting manufacturing isn’t part of the plan.
> and was a realistic hope

It never was. If we want to talk about the powerful being held to account by the international community, realise that at some point that means canvassing the idea of invading China/India/the United States/Europe when they get out of line. That isn't an option. That would potentially reduce big chunks of the world to sand and anything less can't constrain the powerful. WWII alone levelled an entire continent, and that was with primitive weaponry compared to what is available now.

Trade sanctions aren't effective at changing behaviour and it isn't obvious if they would do more good or more harm if deployed against a superpower. Note that most superpowers' economic problems were due to internal not external policy.
“The function x^2” isn’t a silent conversion between objects of different types. It’s really exactly one thing: the function x->x^2. It's just shorthand.

Also note that intuitionistic type theory is only one kind of type theory. There’s nothing about assuming the existence of real numbers that implies you are not using type theory. Intuitionistic type theory is useful because computer programs must construct their values… the Curry-Howard correspondence is between the types system in a computer program and statements in intuitionistic logic.
We talk already about reducing our footprint but it's not going down yet.

How long will it even take for us to do less talking and more reducing? 5 years? 10?

Will we discover that the big co2 emitter (USA, china) might even get further behind and my country is on track (Germany)?

Will the normal and valid economical growth of countries like china eat all co2 winnings for x decades until it reaches a peak?

Or will we see catastrophic events which will erode our society peace by peace?

In Germany the flood destroyed bridges and parts of a Autobahn. Deutsche Bahn Said that's the worst infrastructure impairment they ever head.

Will we be able to keep our existing infrastructure?

All the trees we are loosing to fires and drought how critical are they?

Do we already have calculated in all of this? I read last year that they now incorporate the Siberian Methan and co2 emissions from the "permafrost".

How fragile is our supply chain? Remember the toilet paper shortage.

Those questions are stressing me out sometimes and I do plan do become more robust through getting out of the city as there is not much you can do when sitting in your flat without tools and stuff.
On the contrary it is a terrible awful thing, and a fantastic indicator of a poorly designed law.

Laws should not impose morality.
When the Latin alphabet was first used in Old English, Latin w had already come to be pronounced v. The was no need for it in English at that stage, because v was just considered a variant of f.

But English made good use of w, and there were two ways of writing the w sound: either as two u's (because that way you can indicate the consonantalness of it, even before consonants as in writan) or using the old rune wynn. The uu approach spread to the continent and Old High German (which still used the English sound) adopted it. Old High German also didn't have a v sound at that time, and v was considered a variant of f - which it still is in modern German (e.g. Vater = father, pronounced fah-ta). Meanwhile, uu fell out of use in England, and the runic wynn dominated. But the English spelling system was gradually replaced following the Norman invasion, which led w to dominate over wynn. And v was now considered its own sound, so the letter began to be used for a v sound. So even though English seems to be a bit of a exception, with w=/w/, it's a practice that came from England and came back to England and was a medieval norm.

But the w sound changed to v in German too. They didn't have such a radical interruption to their orthographic tradition as the English did, so the idea that V=F remained, and the letter w just come to be used for the new v sound. It spread from there.

So it's not really w instead of v to distinguish /v/ from /u/. It's more w instead of v to distinguish /w/ from v=/f/.

The crazy thing about that is it wasn't until several centuries after all that transpired that v and u became separate letters. So the Germans were using u for the sound of Buch and the sound of Uater (=Vater), and a different letter w for the sound of Wasser, when W and U=Buch were very similar and U=Buch and U=Vater were very different.
As someone who has never played a pass, I have a question. Every article I see about rust says it's all very simple. this is something that can change from person to person yes, but is it like that for you? I wonder what people who play with rust think about it. (this is just a question please don't take it as an offensive comment)

Anecdata #1: a long-established barber shop paying a fifth of the rent that the very similar empty unit next door was advertised for.

Anecdata #2: just too many ‘businesses’ which offered little of interest and which never seemed to have any customers; some shops even only opened for a fraction of the year (eg those selling Fasnacht regalia).
Yeah, that's why you can hear 'polish/slavic accent' because it's hard for us to say it differently
Italian is somewhat simple to pronounce (probably it is not, but I like believing that).

- The cardinal rule is that EVERY SINGLE LETTER MUST BE READ. We don't write unnecessary stuff, we don't eat letters like in French.

- The only exception is the letter h, which we use sparingly by itself as a Latin leftover, and is ALWAYS silent. Like "ho" and "o" sound the same.

- there are only 7 vowels (English has around 16? 17?), and no "weird" consonants.

- E and O have two allophones, but everyone in Italy has a different accent so it's quite irrelevant how you pronounce them as long as it's a "boring" E and O, like in the English "eh". The O sound is especially difficult for English speakers, because O is almost always pronounced like "ou" /oʊ/. Just try to drop the /ʊ/ part. Italian vowels are boring and plain. They don't sound fancy or complicated. They are barebones and flat.

- In general, 1 letter = 1 sound. This is quite a hard rule, and it's rarely broken.

- There's a few gotchas to this, like [gn] and [gl] which sound like the Spanish [ñ] and [ll] respectively¹.

- [gh] is always a hard g, like in English "get". [gi] and [ge] are _always_ soft Gs, like the one in the English word "justice". The same applies to [c]: [ch] is hard (read it as k), [ci]/[ce] are like in "cherry".

- [l] is never dark, while in English it often is. L in Italian always sounds the same, /l/, as in "litter".

- Syllables are not as stressed as in English. English has this tendency to "squish" one part of a word together and then slow down at the end. Italian usually has a quite "constant" tempo, with a bigger emphasis on the "accent", which is a stress put on a specific syllable.

The biggest hurdle IMHO for English speakers are geminated sounds (i.e. double letters), which do not exist _at all_ AFAIK in English, and that are often fundamental to distinguish words in Italian. It's something conceptually similar to what Japanese go through when they learn English and discover that so many words require a distinction between /r/ and /l/, like right and light.

For instance, "pollo" means chicken, while "polo" is pole. An English speaker will usually pronounce them the same.

It's also important to remember that English went through the Great Vowel Shift, so it's whole alphabet is now way more messed up compared to basically every other language that uses the Latin alphabet. Also, the Latin alphabet was designed around the phonology of Latin, so it's very good at representing Italian phonetically, while quite bad to represent Germanic languages (way too many vowels). Given that you know German, you can use the German reading of vowel letters with Italian, and it would probably work better than the English one. German also has lots of vowels, but they tend to write them closer to how Romance languages do (so A is /a/, e is /e/, ...)

¹ [gl] sounds /ʎ/ only when followed by i, like in "sceglie". Otherwise, it sounds like /gl/ like in English "glue"
