I'd also add that the maintainers were nothing short of excellent, and took care of two tickets I opened before.
There is absolutely no evidence for any of this global "neoliberal" conspiracy theory.

The Western states have been embracing social democracy, predicated on forced income redistribution - the very opposite of "neoliberalism" - at an unprecedented rate:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

These ideological narratives that claim that political parties which advocate for more government power, are the underdog, going up against powerful forces who prefer free markets, looks like nothing more than propaganda to entrench and expand the power of the state and its functionaries.
As a Belgian those salaries look like rainbows and unicorns to me, I would love to earn it do not get me wrong but as a good earner in Belgium I earn like 35% of that or so, nowhere near getting close.

How realistic is it really to get such remote jobs for that salary. My skill set, attitude, passion, professionalism and devotion certainly isn't the issue. From what I remember from some job hunts in the past the issue seemed to be mostly that I needed the following conditions:

- Live in US and have permission to work there, OR have a US passport;

- And on top of that be in or around the same time zone as the company's location;

So how feasible is it really to live in Europe and still earn such salaries remotely? I do not mind do the work or hours, sign me up for it, but so far it mostly looks like dreams to me. At the moment my best best to earn that kind of money in the future is to become an indie consultant while also making some software of my own on the side, I haven't found any realistic way so far to earn such money in a stable full-time permanent employee job.

Anyone who can point to some real data on such opportunities rather than just the usual statement that they earn "easily" 200k+ in the bay area and around. I can only dream of it, and while money certainly isn't my main motivator, it would be nice if I could actually have a home and land of my own at some point...

Ask HN: Firefox connection problems after enabling DoH?
The latest version of Firefox (96.0 and 95.02) seems to have a problem where as soon as you enable DOH (DNS over HTTPS) the browser is unable to establish any connections. Disabling this feature once enabled doesn't resolve the issue, closing the browser leaves processes hanging in the background consuming resources. Several of my friends have reported (Windows/Linux) seeing the same issue but we haven't been able to find a solution.
You are right, although there is a risk that internal recruitment teams become a bottleneck. Particularly when the requirement for new hires is more elastic than recruitment capacity. Something has to be given a lower priority.
Your first point seems to match up with my anecdotal experience.

As for your second point -- how management chose to get rid of the non-compliant workers is much more to do with limiting liability and expenditures. If someone quits, its harder for them to claim unemployment (but not impossible, see constructive dismissal) so many businesses would try to find a way to have you quit rather than fire you.

True... However, in academia where I work, there are not many options right now. Despite sinking nearly 20 years into this and enjoying my work, I'm having second thoughts due to the toxicity of my colleagues.

Nice username, btw. I enjoy the prints of Mt. Fuji. Also had an opportunity to be on Mt. Fuji, partly inspired by his paintings.
> I still bind mount directories though. Docker volumes seem really convenient but a few years back I dealt with helping out a coworker with some data loss (pre-volumes) in a container's filesystem so I have some trust issues with how they implement storage.

This mirrors my experience and despite how Docker seems to suggest that non-abstracted storage is a liability and we should use volumes instead in many cases, i disagree: https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/ In my eyes, the current implementation for volumes is for data that i don't really care much about, but would still consider extracting/moving later and have it be persistent, like when trying out new software.

Personally, bind mounts also make it extremely easy to operate with whole installs of software - for example, should i want to upgrade something like Nextcloud (and have enough space), i can just stop the containers, make a copy at /docker/nextcloud_stack/data/nextcloud_mysql_old and run a new container version against /docker/nextcloud_stack/data/nextcloud_mysql and see if it all works.

If the update has corrupted everything, i can just delete the broken folder, rename my backup and proceed with restoring the older version. If i want to mess around with the broken version, i can do it with 0 worries about what else could break. It's amazing, way better than relying on the POSIX approach to a file system, where your software, its configuration and its persistent data is all over the place.

I once had to manage a Tomcat install which had the webapps, config, logs directories in their idiomatic locations rather than one folder, which was pretty horrible from a management perspective. I had to constantly jump around and wasn't entirely sure how it all fits together (probably lots of symlinks).

It's curious that some/many Kubernetes distros lock down the local storage driver, though - there's a preset data directory, where all of your mounted data ends up, which feels like a step backwards from a customization perspective. I had to change the data directory for the entire Kubernetes install to be able to store my data in a painfully obvious /app or /data mount point. Then again, their ability to limit the sizes of these persistent volumes is pretty cool.
Just a stab in the dark, but I was having HMR issues as well and it turned out to be an obscure transitive dependency conflict - details and solutions here on the outside chance it's the same thing affecting your project https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/6685
Anecdotally, ~every American person who I know in Tokyo considered walking more than 5 minutes a chore when they first arrived, and then most eventually learned that gasp you can actually walk for longer than that and it is perfectly fine.

It's honestly quite amusing just how disconnected the average American's conception of city travel is from how things work in Tokyo and other walkable / public transport-focused cities. Europeans have it easier; I was already used to using public transport to get around even long-ish distances on a daily basis in Spain, and Tokyo is basically public transport paradise. Want to go from point A to point B? Here's 5 different routes - you get to pick bus, train, metro, or a combination. Some are faster, some are nicer, some you might just personally like better, and they all arrive on time. Every 5 minutes or so.

I still resort to taxis in Tokyo sometimes, but only when I'm in a rush (= already late to something), and even then that rarely saves more than 10 minutes, and if traffic is bad, can end up worse; it's only faster when there isn't already a fully direct train route wherever you're going. I consider it a tax on bad scheduling on my part; I'd much rather take public transport and not be in a rush.
Yeah, I use this feature constantly. I have e.g. wp to search wikipedia, im to search imdb, di to search dictionary.com.

For anyone else on Firefox, there's no need to go through a search engine or install anything. Just follow the instructions in that link. It'll change your life.
It's actually the opposite. While the company I work for doesn't do remote, the absolutely rock-solid stability and superb work-life balance alone attract people who support families and people with mortgages. The average age is also a lot higher, since we have zero qualm interviewing people with 25+ years of unfashionable industry experience. Their family—husband, wife, kids, pet cat—can basically always depend on them being there outside of standard work hours. We don't even allow work to be on people's personal devices, including cell phones, so no off-hours Slack or email buzzes.

Most of my colleagues have children or grand-children, and have been working here for at least 10 years.

Many, many middle aged people with families actually say they prefer the office because it's impossible to get any work done at home with 4 kids. That may be a consequence of their home or their family, but it's what I hear very frequently. In any case, we have a WFH policy, so we are very flexible and accommodating to family needs.

Statistically, fresh college grads vying for excellent resume decor aren't attracted to stability, 401k's, etc. So we see proportionally fewer.

I have been self-hosting my email for few years on Digital Ocean VPS. The biggest downside is that your messages are very often classified as spam by big players such as GMail or Microsoft, despite implementing DKIM, DMARC and SPF etc properly on my side. If it's important for me to get my message through, I have to use my "backup" GMail account, which pretty much defeants the point of self-hosting your email.
Yes, but sometimes that's all you have to go on. Imagine you are a manger with high quit rates, what do you do? Say I've no idea what's causing this and won't until I see hard evidence, or, think about the article and wonder if any of these factors are affecting you and try to change them. Even if it's wrong it's a good onramp to thinking about your problems.
> I'll never understand the American thirst for money for the sake of it.

I hope I don't come off as abrasive but I don't think you've had enough money if you think this is American or applicable only to a small subset of people.

Greed has driven people forever, in different systems of government, from communism, to fascism and capitalism. Leaders have always had (or had access to) a ton of capital to influence and control different aspects of their lives.

Also making a ton of money can be an instrument for good. There are a lot of wealthy folks that donate a lot of their money because they have an excess.

My current contributions are tiny, comparatively, but as my compensation increases, so do my charitable contributions.
a lot of people are in a situation where they could do the same amount of work, most likely with better people and not have the culture i described above, for 30-50% more cash and more equity (at face value although it’s potential). this has nothing to do with america. you have to be really loving your job to turn down that kind of change. its not about having enough. it’s getting a LOT more for the small price of a few zoom calls
Because Josh could potentially monetize this project and allow both him and his partner to spend the rest of their lives doing nothing but making these fun projects for each other, working to benefit the global community, or whatever else they would want to do having achieved financial independence.

I also don't agree with the idea that any form of monetization is inherently hostile towards players. The game takes up roughly 500px by 800px on a page that is receiving millions of hits a day. You can throw an ad on that page and barely impact the user experience while pulling in 4 or 5 figures per day. There is money to be made there without resorting to adding microtransactions or something actively hostile to users.
Love that neighborhood. Congrats on buying a spot there - it has been my dream to do the same.
Most recently 5 months ago, before that 24 months ago.
I'd say in large corps it's one of the better, and faster way of moving up in org chart.
In Europe it seems to have changed too. Salaries are still of course low compared to the US, but it seems the salaries are stabilising across the continent.

I've been speaking to recruiters recently and a lot more companies are open to fully remote, even across borders. 10 years ago if you wanted the best salary in Europe you would need to go live in London, now there are plenty of companies hiring remotely across Europe and paying salaries close to what you'd get in London.

I interviewed for a similar senior role in London and Berlin companies this week, and was really surprised the German company was paying more. Even working for local companies in Eastern countries you can often get good enough salaries, so that relocating to traditional tech hubs in Western Europe isn't really worth it, once you take into account cost of living adjustments.
> after a short time because of the relatively limited choice of activities compared to a car-centric US cities where intraday travel over longer distances is trivial

Within an hour, you could have been in Utrecht, The Hague, Rotterdam, Haarlem, by public transport.

Let's put it this way: you could be in front of Rembrandt's Night watch at the Rijksmuseum, and within 1h15 minutes, be in front of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring in an entirely different city 60 km south, without breaking a sweat. Two of the greatest pieces of art.

Hell you could be in Brussels within two hours. London or Paris in four hours. You could have your breakfast by a canal in Amsterdam, your lunch in front of the Eiffel tower, and dinner by Big Ben.

But somehow, that's boring because it doesn't involve a car?
Isn’t this the same as claiming that “driving is not the fastest mode when the city is poorly governed”? If a city is not overbuilt and overpopulated to the point where the road infrastructure is overwhelmed, then driving works really well. For the vast majority of cities, there isn’t a conceivable point where you’re dedicating more spaces to roads/lots than destinations. But even if that were the case, I have to ask “so what”. If the people living there have fast access to the things they want to do and like it, and find the benefits to be worth the trade offs, then I don’t see the problem. It feels to me like the complaints are mostly from a very active and vocal urbanist activist crowd rather than residents at large.
And this comes as a surprise to anyone, anywhere?
I believe the current job market has a much simpler explanation: short term risk. Due to the ongoing Covid crisis predicting the short term future of the economy is inherently more difficult now. So people stay with their current job as it is a safe but boring haven.

Since you can only hire people willing to quit, you currently can’t find many software engineers that were rare even before Covid. Developer leaving their job by the masses is probably not a real thing at least from my experience. Maybe in some regions of the US. But a shortage of qualified personnel in general probably is.
This sounds a lot like what games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive do with their cosmetic item skins, where they have rarity for each and also specific packages with themes and whatnot.

Now that's a fun business idea (ethically questionable gambling related aspects aside, guess it's about how one markets that and how honest they are).
spot on. Energy prices are going to rise in Europe for the years ahead so will inflation and then your savings will dwindle... In my country inflation is already around 2.5% years on years.
Obama will be 80 in 20 years. Maybe OP means he will be close to death so he won’t care about climate change affecting his vacation home.
I work for a consultancy and see the other side of this. We do hire graduates and train them up. And put them to work for clients who can't resource their own work. And then we can't retain them as they get senior roles at other companies.

I think a lot of companies are like an ecological niche that is tuned to a particular kind of candidate. That is actually part of the business model.
i'm not sure if i remember this correctly, but i think i read somewhere that the cost breakdown is roughly 10-fold per lot:

* an above ground parking garage is ten times more expensive than surface parking

* subterrain parking is ten times more expensive than an above ground parking garage
I'm having the same issue. All tabs froze and the FF energy demand spiked. I upgraded manually from 95.0.2 to 96.0 but the issue persisted.

Dunno where you live but in Belgium:

- That salary certainly does seem realistic, even though I'm on the higher end and have a base salary above that;

- I also get the same amount of paid holidays, might be even a couple more;

- we have great hospitality insurance, mutuality (general health care) has to be paid by ourselves however, even though that's cheap;

- they do help me save for pension in the form of a contribution, but it certainly isn't enough to retire of, I see it more like a nice base, but will definitely need money on top of that to actually keep living a good live (at least if I want to stay in Belgium);

- they are flexible in timing for sure, that is something I'm grateful for, as long as I get the work done it's cool;

- they do not expect work in the weekends or after office hours (if you do flexible hours it's of course up to you to do the promised hours at some point or another of course);

However, never ever:

- have I get overtime paid, in any of the companies I worked for in Belgium or the UK;

- have I get the chance to be in some kind of union that's standardised within the companies I work for, haven't even heard ever of a union for software developers;

Further more I'm always been told that despite the fact that they earn their 200k salaries they on top of that get also nice bonuses, options on stocks, 4k pension saving and premium health insurance covered. Or is that too much rainbows and unicorns I heard of?
I agree with most of what you said, but I’d consider ads to be just as hostile to users.
> Ruby is strongly typed. So is Smalltalk.

What is strong typed is not well defined. But mostly people use it for langs that use the typesystem to prevent as many runtime errors as possible. Features like sum-types, and explicit nullability are often mentioned in that regard.

Ruby and Smalltalk have neither and do not so much try to avoid runtime errors. They tray to allow runtime inspection, and runtime fixing.
Anecdotally, I get offers to come interview for roles in different countries for Amazon, Facebook etc, like in sure most of us do.

I politely say no every time not giving any reason other than I don't want to relocate for the job, but the reality is I don't want to either work at that company due to the horrible things they are doing or the horrible reputation of the working environment.

I've asked other engineers if they have similar requests and they do and the reject for the same reasons I do.
Most people had no to low symptoms even with Covid original. Far more so now with Omicron.
Yes, that is a common fear about the downside of training freshers, but that just means you need to try harder to cultivate loyalty. Have you considered investing in above-market pay raises, or alternatively, career development plans for these graduates?
A better comparison might be between the Guardian and the Telegraph. The Daily Mail has a certain reputation...

In any case, pretty much all the papers have lambasted Johnson on this. When the Tory press turn on a Tory PM, it's a good sign that their days are numbered...
I'm sure this article is on point, and the comments here seem to confirm it.

But to me it's just wild that working to bring about a net positive impact to the world isn't mentioned anywhere.

And no: that's not even remotely the same as "cool stuff". Making a rocket taxi for the super rich or tunnel for SOVs is not it. We are on the brink of a global environmental collapse, and a lot of the blame is on the "cool stuff" designed by engineers.

Engineers need to seriously start asking: would the world be better or worse off if this company trying to hire me didn't exist at all?

It doesn't have to behave like visible matter to behave in a specified manner. It's defined by interacting with gravity and not electromagnetism.

I understand yours and authors view about money, but for some people 10k per year raise is a really good amount. I was recently on that boat, jumped companies for a close to 10k/year raise because that was 1/3 of what I was making in my previous company. Development jobs aren't at all paid in the same scale in the US vs rest of the world (I'm in Europe).

>Omicron is already less deadly by 10x. Covid has a 0.5% death rate pre-omicron. With vaccinations it brings the death rate down to negligible.

To put another way, if you are right (I haven't seen definitive numbers, other than hopes/preliminary findings that the variant seems to be less deadly), the Omicron variant is about half as deadly as the annual flu (about 0.1% IFR).
In general, there is way less huge open-air parking lot in France compared to the U.S. Even the one found around commercial center tend to be dwarfed compared to what you can find in a smaller U.S city.
