I think that one of the other and rather important reason for people giving up on having kids is money, or rather lack of them. I feel the general feeling is that the wealth disparity is only getting bigger and therefore more and more people may not afford having babies. On the other hand poor people will probably not "die out" within a couple decades...
A lot of the Europeans in this thread will jump on things like health care or other social benefits without realizing that high paid workers in the US are well taken care of in this regard.

The truth is the pay is higher in the US and is not particularly close. It's funny trying to see Europeans argue places like London, Zurich, or Amsterdam are "low cost" compared to US cities to try justify the difference
Security feels like one of those fields where you could have a very challenging, interesting fields if you’re very smart/driven, but otherwise sounds miserable. There are a few security domains I’ve been interested in but I don’t have the patience or ability for.
Wine Routes 2.0 is released
Wine Routes app is available to all wine lovers who wish to visit vineyards and wineries, discover wines, design their own wine routes and join a large community dedicated to wine.

Main idea of the app

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each user has access to thousands of wineries and may get information about them (contact details, location, products, events, images etc), share their opinion through a review or a simple Like, plan and save a route of preferred wineries, follow a recommended route, view events organized by wineries or browse their uploaded images.

Goal of the app

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wine tourism concerns all activities related to touristic journeys in wine regions with objectives to discover a wine region and its terroirs, taste different wines and meet wine-growers. The long-term goal of the app is (a) to promote wine tourism not only for the popular wineries but for all of them, giving the opportunity to new winemakers to show their products and (b) strengthen the winelovers' community by establishing a common means of sharing wine opinions, Wine Routes

Why must winelovers get this app?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

All winelovers are able to:

- view thousands of wineries with contact information, availability for visitors, social media pages, products' descriptions and events organized

- consult a large collection of routes suggested by winemakers and users themselves

- plan their own routes and save them for future trips or use GPS to plan a route from their location and follow their route

- share their experience about a winery with other winelovers

- join a community of winelovers by following other users and exchanging opinions

- view registered wine areas on map

Benefits for winemakers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winemakers are a key element of the app's community since through Wine Routes they are able to:

- manage their wineries through the app with full details, contact information, location, history and visiting hours

- post updates about their wines or events and share them with the community

- manage images of their wineries, vineyards and wines

- manage their wines with details and images and share their story with passionate about wine people

- view analytics of their winery's page about views, likes, reviews and website clicks through the app

- refer users from a winery's page to their social media pages and websites

The app was created in React Native with Expo and many new features are on the way. So, have a glass of wine, download the app and, if you like it, please support us kindly with your review. You can find us at Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest or our website.

We also just launched at Product Hunt so feel free to give us an upvote or a review and promote our project.
No, I wouldn’t work for Huawei. From what I know from my Chinese friends, the line between a business like Huawei and CCP is blurry at best. Considering how authoritative, and anti-democratic they are on their own citizens(The great firewall as just one example, and social credit rating of people as the worst example), I wouldn’t want to do anything with/for them. Worst case scenario is for them to think you have their knowledge/IP or for them to claim whatever else you work with to be theirs.

May be I am too paranoid. But, in all the recent places I have worked at, there is a separate entity in China to do business with Chinese users. All companies are too scared to share their IP/code/designs with their own Chinese sub-organisation.

I’d consider it too risky to get myself involved into such a mess. That’s just me.
Anything more than 10min on a daily basis feels arduous to me.

Once you get used to a life where you do not have to drive more than 5min to get everywhere, it would really suck to have go further. Even better than a 5 to 10min drive is being walking distance.
I knew a hard working student who was applying for PhD who had the incentive to change his gender and sexual orientation (lie) to get extra points to get in. I don’t know what he did at the end, but incentivizing people to lie will definitely worsen the pool of PhD students.
Going to the office is a broken way of making friends. There should be better places for this.
any chance we could look at your thesis when it is done? :)
Over time, probably huge. eBay started as a flea market, and so people knew what to expect. Amazon started as a reputable seller and has since turned into a flea market, so people compare against the quality guarantee that used to be there.
One explanation is there is simply more money sloshing around in the US tech sector. Creating a startup and raising a few million dollars in VC is just a lot easier in the US than in NL, so a lot more companies are simply able to pay those salaries.

At the other end of the scale, the largest US companies are simply more efficient than NL companies. Just compare the revenue pr employee for the 10 largest NL companies to the revenue pr employee for the 10 largest US companies and you'll see a stark difference. More revenue pr employee means more money to pay salaries (very simply).
Also older devs might engage less with SO community and platform. Get what they need and move on. Where as younger one might think there is something to gain for being more active there.
While I have not been this deep into the inner workins, I personally have skimmed that rabbit hole when I started a side-project that was essentially grep but for (mainly) MKV files.

Idea was that you could "grep" by specific text in the subtitles and automatically create a clip of every occurrence of the text (by looking at the subtitle timing and padding that in both directions).

The biggest source of my frustration was that I was unable to get the clipping to work exactly as I wanted, where the start or end of the clip would seemingly drift back and forth. That was until I realized it boiled down to how the different seek modes in ffmpeg handled keyframes.

I still haven't gotten the clipping to work exactly as I want but I figured doing two passes might be the way to go: first pass would do a fuzzy match and ensure there is enough extra on both ends of the desired clip and the second pass could re-encode the fuzzy-matched clip to shuffle the keyframes around, allowing more accurate clipping.

>You have no say in someone else's community.

Fantastic. You have no say where the jobs are and you aren't allowed to go where the jobs are. Absolutely perfect.

>Finally, the notion that 'constant building' will make homes more affordable is just not true, the most dense places in the US are among the most expensive.

Developers aren't running a charity. They only fulfill existing demand and if you don't even do that things are going to become even less affordable.
You've been remote during a global pandemic. That is not normal remote working. Nobody has enjoyed it or found it easy. It sounds like it came at a bad time for you too after moving - that must have been difficult.

I find almost all arguments against remote working seem to based on bad experiences in the last year that are potentially conflating remote work with the pandemic. Sure, some people may truly hate remote work. However, I have quite a few friends who despised it and now that we're back to normal (in the UK) have actually decided they don't want to go back to the office. The commute time + cost of commute is just not worth it. It's equivalent to a sudden pay cut to have to commute again and a pretty significant one at that. Getting your regular social life back makes a huge difference to quality of life when remote working. For most places this hasn't happened yet.

As another anecdotal example there were a loud minority crying out for us to get back to the office at my company. They wanted to be allowed in before all the equipment was back they were so desperate. One person is back full time. About 2-5 others come in once a week on the day the company has started buying lunch. I think a lot of people did want to come back but as the office opened up with the rest of society they've found they don't actually need it for a social life. I bet that in 12 months the company moves to buying a hot desk in a co-working space for the 1-5 people who want to come in and I would bet that within 24 months there's a greater than 50% chance nobody is coming in anymore because the social life they wanted through the office is gone.
I see your reasoning pop up as often as the European viewpoint and each time I have the same reflection: what about your loved ones? AFAIK your significant other + children can be covered by your insurance, but what if one of your parents or siblings get in financial straits due to some medical event?
I don’t think anybody is as ignorant about an EU exit as we where before BREXIT. I also don’t believe that anti EU and conservative voters are the same in Poland. Peoples politics are only simple in statistics or the media. In real life things get a lot more difficult and that detracts from the “story” somebody is trying to tell.

Scrolling half the thread to read first comment that looks like someone read the article and understood it instead of just writing opinion on how author is wrong.
Or, would a clear majority choose remote work if presence at the office was completely optional and there was no career favoritism in the benefit of people choosing to come into the office.

I see no harm in applying.

What does the question imply, however? Do you have reservations because they are from China?

Would you ask the same question wrt applying at AWS or Microsoft?
I feel low trust environments like Amazon would actually make working from home a misery.

While I was there (more than half a decade back), my manager had a week where they were working remotely. And the first thing they'd do every morning in that week was call everyone on the team _individually_ to get updates. Not a team standup, but individual calls. And they were honestly "a good manager" by Amazon standards.

There was also very little writing culture back then which is very important to have thoughtful conversations in remote setting.
Well, the beautiful thing is, as a science-supporter (not "believer"!), I don't even recognize the concept of "gender" as distinct from "sex" (noone ever managed to explain it in a non-recursive manner, or consistently define it), so I'm officially agender, I don't even need to lie (while remaining a man (sex)).
Not as much of an issue in Europe, where the waste heat can be used for district heating, where there is plenty of water, and generally lower temperatures.

FWIW, the demo call stack isn't very accessible with a screen reader. In particular, it's not clear how the elision of portions of the name is supposed to work. From my perspective when using a screen reader, each entry in the call stack consists of an unlabeled button, a simple string like "nsGlobalWindowInner::Dump (…) at nsGlobalWindowInner.cpp:3370", followed by another unlabeled button.

To be fair, I know that making a highly interactive UI like this accessible with a screen reader is a lot of work, and you probably haven't yet had a customer who needs it. (And it's unlikely that I will become a customer in the near future.)
This. I don't understand all this plastic hysteria. Plastic is the ultimate material for food preservation. Most people dispose of plastic in the legal way that is provided to them, so how does it end up polluting the environment? If it's the Big Bad Corporate Guy who in the end dumps all that plastic in the oceans, maybe the wrong problem is being solved here?
Don't worry! I gave it as an example of a behaviour we learn as kids which is easily explained because we know about microbes and the process of teeth decay.

However, people have been cleaning teeth for thousands of years. My (naive) belief is that people associated the procedure with good health but weren't able to explain why it works. It was mostly tradition or good habit passed on through generations. Citing Wikipedia[1]:

> The Indian method of using wood for brushing was presented by the Chinese Monk Yijing (635–713 CE) when he described the rules for monks in his book:

> Every day in the morning, a monk must chew a piece of tooth wood to brush his teeth and scrape his tongue, and this must be done in the proper way. Only after one has washed one's hands and mouth may one make salutations. Otherwise both the saluter and the saluted are at fault.

Yeah, this strikes me as bizarre because it goes to show that the money to pay these salaries exists but companies would rather hire contractors than employees.

Fine by me, I went solo 4 years ago and never looked back.

That thing about a mob going out to destroy you for simply stating your opinion really seems like an exaggerated worry for me. It sounds scary, but it doesn't actually happen. You might lose your job for saying that for example women are less capable than men, but that's hardly a mob coming for you with pitchforks.

In normal userland you have lots of RAM, and the whole virtual address space to play with, and you can make any part of it you like either read-only or read-write, so it doesn't matter much if you end up with either (a) a fixed offset between the code section and the rw data section or (b) a big global offset table. As the article points out, those are more awkward in a small-RAM microcontroller environment with no virtual memory.
Thanks for the links.

Merkel, according to your Spiegel reference said:

>Die Begrenzung der Restlaufzeit der deutschen Atomkraftwerke käme einer Vernichtung von volkswirtschaftlichem Vermögen gleich.

Which translates to

>Limiting the remaining service life of German nuclear power plants would be equal to destroying national economic assets.

So her concern was about shutting down existing nuclear power plants earlier than initially planned. She kept true to her word, and reversed that, only to re-reverse herself after Fukushima.

That's however not necessarily a very pro-nuclear stance, more a pro-"let them continue printing money with their existing plants because they have been good friends to the CDU in the past" stance.

What she didn't say however is that she favored investing in more nuclear power generation and nuclear technology in general.
There is no way that you can give advice that is the best in every single situation. There will always be exceptions and tradeoffs.
As someone who 'enjoyed the convenience of delivery' long before the coronavirus pandemic, it's quite weird to realise that wasn't as normal (then) as it seemed. City bubble I suppose. Or not-having-a-car (hardly unusual for London) bubble.

(I don't mean takeaway food - though it's certainly 'normal' among certain demographics.. - just groceries, Amazon, etc.)
One building that always gets mentioned when it comes to Roman concrete (not in this article though, so I felt compelled to add it) is the Pantheon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome), which is only ~100 years younger than the tomb of Caecilia Metella and features the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome (43 m / 142 ft diameter).
Someone I know was fortunate enough to get onto one of the clinical trials for ipilimumab - he had Malignant Melanoma that had spread to a nearby organ.

He's still alive 15 years later, despite the survivability for Melanoma that has spread is dire. That's, of course, a single piece of anecdata, but the power of biologicals in how we treat disease going forward cannot be understated.
> If everybody got the damn vaccine

There are many people like me who have high level of antibodies, don't really need a vaccine this way (AFAIK there already is enough evidence supporting this) and don't want to get vaccinated with the fastest-baked (least tested) vaccine in history despite being passionately pro-vac when it's about other diseases and better-tested vaccines.

I don't want the damn vaccine. I want the damn immunity which I have (and test for every ~3 months) and the damn government to recognize it.

I also doubt there are many unvaccinated people who still have no antibodies. How could they possibly be so successful in avoiding the virus for so long?
Yes because non-Steam games are displayed too.
That seems like a great use case. Fun to think about.

It would have stage "presence" seen in some performance today.
The benefit of public oversight over free trade is accountability via due process. If you manufacture a hot dog and it's contaminated with something, or falsely advertised as kosher or halal, or doesn't meet any of a thousand little constraints in production, maintenance, delivery, and communication about the product, you are held accountable for violating the law.

Sex trade is different because of stigma and culture and prohibition. Stigma and culture have to change through education, activism, and time, but prohibition can be dealt with immediately. Create a robust framework of protections for sex work, protecting the rights of workers, and incorporate the industry into the existing legal system.

Getting rid of trafficking, pimps, and lack of recourse for workers and consumers negates far greater harms than any moral social corruption predicted by pearl clutchers.

The same applies to almost everything which society tries to cope with through prohibition. Black markets spawn second class dealers in vice, money and trade off book to the detriment of everyone except kingpins and corrupt agents of government and law enforcement. The vulnerable and desperate get locked into feedback loops of abuse and exploitation.

Legalizing all drugs and sex work almost completely eliminates the niches that perpetuate black markets. Forcing banks and legal jurisdictions to treat trade in vice equally to any other economic activity gives society the opportunity to treat drug abuse as a health issue. It enables sex workers to receive justice for abuse. It virtually eliminates the primary sources of income for cartels and kingpins. It forces culture to adapt, eventually allowing activists the opportunity to destigmatize responsible activities of adults in private.

We have laws that protect consumers and service providers, that give resource for violence and theft and fraud. It shouldn't matter what substance or sex act or hot dog brand was involved if a citizen is injured.

Adults have no business telling other adults what they can consume, or do in private. The business of government is behavior in public and in maintaining the rights of citizens in private.

We have ample and overwhelming evidence that prohibition always creates more harm than good, across thousands of years of history. It never works and always creates opportunities for abuse and horror. We also know that legalized vice results in more responsible use and less frequent consumption and fewer harms across the board.

It should be a no brainer. We should have responsible drug use education. We should have public sex work education.

Financial institutions crafting pseudo-moral gatekeeping policy from the whims of executives, pr departments, and Twitter outrage is a disgusting offense against society.
Also, it must be kept in mind that CRCs, i.e. the remainders of polynomial division, are not the only simple way to obtain predictable error properties.

A simple alternative is to evaluate the polynomial corresponding to the data at a certain point and use the value as the error detection code. The properties about short bursts are identical.

Polynomial evaluation is advantageous at large hash sizes instead of CRC, because it matters very little at which point you choose to evaluate the polynomial, as long as it is non-null and non-unit.

With CRCs, the choice of the primitive polynomial to be used as divisor is critical and you cannot choose just a random 128-bit sequence and hope that it happens to correspond to a primitive polynomial and also to one with good error detection properties.

For example, if you want guaranteed error-burst detection for a data size where the known 32-bit or 64-bit CRCs are inadequate, you may use the Poly1305 evaluation functions available in most cryptographic libraries for data authentication.

When used in cryptography, the point chosen for the polynomial evaluation must be secret, but for error detection it may be fixed and public and you get error detection properties equivalent with an 128-bit CRC.

An optimized 128-bit CRC might be a little better, but good luck to finding the right 128-bit primitive polynomial.

Miller Columns for GUI file navigation!

OSX has them, and is one of the workflow reasons I prefer OSX.

Windows doesn't have column views, and the 3rd party file explorers options are not to my taste!

I wish Gnome would add them!
