The top comment is about as anti-American as it can get. Apparently we’re all drug addicts and burning our own houses to the ground.

It’s important to generalize for the sake of the OPs questions, but saying nonsense doesn’t help anyone.
Europe is not a single country and even the EU doesn't cover all of it, so it's kind of hard to generalise.

Many of the things you mentioned are not generally true of Switzerland, for example. And OTOH, in Germany, the far right has stagnated and doesn't seem to make further inroads, large companies do continue to be successful but there are especially a lot of mid-sized companies (what's this obsession with growth at all costs?), etc. (let's not forget that one of the mRNA vaccines was developed here).

Yes, there are problems, sometimes even major ones, but I do think you're stereotyping just as much as GP.
The media narrative is incredibly dishonest. I support both the right for abortions with certain limitations AND Dobbs. They are not contradictory. One thing is the Supreme Court pushing down an extreme view of abortion rights down every state's throat, while another is letting the states and Congress debate and decide the nuances of how we protect both the rights of the mother and the unborn child.
Do family plans still frequently have extra charges for spouses who could get their own plan (via employer or by passing some base income level) but don't? This could cause issues if freelancing.
I still use a 8" Windows tablet from 2015 every day, for the same reasons.
I wish I could upgrade from the mediocre specs, but newer, better x86 tablets in this form factor simply don't exist.
Maybe because you need a mobile desktop, not a tablet?
I don't even know who Clarence Thomas is. It sounds like he is religious to me which as far as I know allows sex for procreation only, not for pleasure. Maybe I am wrong tho. Whoever he is, I can agree with some of his views while disagreeing with others.
I find it interesting to try and create a system for mapping your thoughts in this manner, but the way it's presented here makes it somewhat not approachable.

On the other hand, one of the great pleasures in life is sorting out your ideas on a piece of paper, and I find that that's not a process I would necessarily want to over engineer. The structureless search after the refined form of your own thoughts is a huge advantage at times.

> the Supreme Court should not be responsible for managing dysfunction in other branches of govt.

Hard disagree here. The Supreme Court acting as a vehicle for rights the majority of the population thinks should be enshrined, but can’t due to Senate dysfunction, is what is preventing the USA from sliding into another civil war. The Constitution is an extremely buggy first draft and originalism is a sick joke. Abortion isn’t in the Constition? Of course not, it was written by men in the 1700s. Judicial review isn’t in the Constitution either.
They don't come with user manuals nor do we. No one hands you a rule book. Don't beat yourself up. Strive to do better. Don't be proud. Be open to learning. The single biggest example you can set your kids is to show them that change is possible and we can all do better.
It's easier to run multiple clusters, to do testing, development and more elaborate networking.

I find lectures about American society from Europeans, as the parent comment did, exceedingly ironic and misinformed considering the same issues plague both sides. Even more so as American armed forces and weapons (and our tax dollars and political system) are what protect all of you from annihilation.

The grass is always greener but I prefer it here.
Not that I want to defend Oracle but I've been through the process of installing a new version, starting it up whilst loading the same database files currently being served by an older patch level, and seeing it fail over to the new version without dropping in flight queries. They've always done pretty well in this space in my view.

Of course, you've still got to obtain a patch. I usually see the licensing in the name of some senior manager who doesn't know how to use a keyboard and who is also the only person allowed to download patches.
Your lucky day. The post

Do not go. Here's why:

1) You have no network in the US. You will have to start from scratch.
Remember how you started. Multiply difficulty level by 2. And you're not going to be any younger.

2) Salaries for perm positions being "significantly lower" in the US than in EU.
This nullifies gains from moving to the US. Add cost of moving everything over long range by plane/cargo ship.

3) Healthcare cost. My friend asked me once about cost of dental care in Ireland (where I live now). I replied 'it depends, between 30-60 euro'. He was quoted 13000 dollars for one tooth job. Think about this double hard, you're 50 and you won't get any younger.

4) Friends and your peers will stay in the EU. You won't see any of them for months and years. Factor in plane ticket prices. You won't be coming home to visit family for Christmas.

Just few things from top of my head, but I think they are important.
Needing to account for schedules is a symptom of a bad public transit system. Good systems have buses/trains show up frequently enough that you can just go without waiting more than 10 minutes, until the point you're taking regional trips, and even then about ~30 minutes of maximum wait is normal in Germany.

Also, it sounds like you're talking about long-distance services here. But this thread is about local to regional services where people don't generally carry around baggage.
That might be, but they still wouldn't let Zig code into the main tree without such fanfare.
You have not provided enough context for anyone to give you useful advice. We would need to know your hourly or daily rate and to basically see your resume to have any chance of giving a rate range. There is also the issue of taxes which make comparisons less straightforward.

That said, I think you can generally expect IT pay to be higher in US major cities than almost anywhere in the EU. The US also has the concept of consulting. That runs the range, you could be working for a body shop agency for no more pay than a salary where the agency takes up to 50% of the client’s rate. You could also be an independent consultant where you run your own company and directly market and contract with your clients for 2 or 3 times the pay. The latter takes a personal network and a reputation. If your current clients pay you well, why not just properly structure things and work for them from the US?

Besides pay, there is the issue of cost of living. You could have the option to live in a fairly rural area and commute into Princeton. Cost of living can be fairly low in the US outside major cities or some of the highest in the world within them. It is a big country with much variance.

One last thing: you will find that the US is basically still the barbarian lands in comparison to Europe, history has a long arm. That can be good or bad depending on you, but don’t be shocked when you find out that the country is bordering on anarchy in comparison to Germany, expect it.
That's what I'm talking about, it's just a completely accurate description and you're freaking out saying it said things that it didn't say! Zero things in it are false, but what you're claiming is:

> massive alcohol and narcotic dependency issues

This is a fact and it's not "[you're] all drug addicts and burning your own houses to the ground."

The only way you can get upset is to straw man it really hard.
I wasn't clear then: I don't care in the context of this question. We already don't require you to donate bone marrow to save a specific person.
Gender as separate from sex is not a thing. Those links are supposed medical professionals (there is no evidence a medical professional wrote that feces, actually) who should know better spinning in circles and bending backwards to contort reality to fit "how cultural groups see themselves", apparently referring to the one mass-deluded cultural group that invented the concept of sex-independent gender.

>science

What you call "Science^TM", I actually call a bunch of ideologically motivated sophistry with no hard evidence behind it. Science isn't based purely on authority, a bunch of "Science^TM" organisations spouting nonsense on their public facing web page doesn't make the nonsense science, it just reduces the organisations' credibility.

>politeness

Politeness is just what true believers call conformity. Its not a good trait to be polite to delusions.

I also find it amusing you invoke politeness on what is supposedly to be a factual matter. Is it a matter of "politeness" to say the earth is round?
Similar experience here. Just shipped 20 off to a recycler. They didn’t even get to a year old. Replaced with thinkpad L series which suck but at least they actually work.
In your example, logFilteredWithDateToFile accepts a file. That means, if a function wants to log an error, it needs to accept a file somewhere to pass to the log function (for example, we want the sockets/files to be opened once and be shared across several calls). So if function A depends on function B which depends on function C, then function A will need to explicitly state all the dependencies of B and C in its function signature. We end up with a very complex function signature of A where we have to list all possible dependencies of every function it makes use of recursively (also, some of the dependencies may not always be needed depending on control flow). As a client, all I wanted was to ask a function to do one simple thing but now I have to manage files, sockets and god knows what else just because somewhere deep inside someone uses them. And then in a new version we decide we don't want to log to a file, we want to use a third-party library. Now we need to change signatures of A, B and C, and modify our code at every call site. Is this what you are proposing?
If anything goes wrong (or they realise what that kid's college education will cost) they have the option of pitching the house, likely with a gain large enough to buy anything they'd like back in Germany, and move back to the social safety net without much fuss.

Especially well-played to move to the US as soon as the kid is old enough to no longer need special medical care or a daycare.
> It is not weird. It is normal. Billions of dollars spent for propaganda of American dream. And it is global. This is the power of an utopian idea. People need belief in the success. Critical thinking was never popular, but nowadays is the exception of the rule.

Yeah, definitely, but you'd still expect people here to do better. Nobody who hasn't lived in both even needs to comment really.
Realistically, you will need to earn NYC wages to afford living in NJ, but employers in and around Princeton expect to pay workers half of those wages. It's also a culturally devoid area and highly car dependent. You'd have a better bet freelancing in either Philadelphia or New York.
> Government shouldn't be involved in marriage in the first place. A better solution would be to eliminate civil marriage from the legal code entirely. If people want to go through some sort of ceremony and declare themselves married then that's fine, but that process shouldn't grant them any more legal rights or privileges than single people

That doesn't make much sense. So in order to get basic rights that come out of marriage/civil union like hospital visits, power of attorney, inheritance, child support, alimony, splitting assets and children in case of divorce etc. one would need to involve lawyers and sign one-off contracts that cover everything? Sounds like a collosal waste of time and money.
To mitigate issues you could just append ~/bin/ to $PATH (opposed to prepending).
Then system commands have priority over your user home commands, right?
I can't stand Google, but hats off to them for this.
Is it? This may be heresy, but I found the food in the US to be better than in France. If you're willing to spend a lot of money it may be better in France, but for ordinary eating out I've found the US to be better. Patisserie is better in France, though.
You should probably tone down your arrogance given that the very first example in your list has an error in it.

Sounds like you are writing C# in F# style.
The entire point of Zig is that you don't throw that C knowledge out, you turn it into Zig knowledge in 30 minutes.

"If you forget a defer, you will leak memory"

There is a bit more to it than just plastering defer all over. If you are designing something in a system programming language like a data structure you must know how to achieve memory safety, and might even want other properties like liveness guarantees. It's not like Rust can do this for you automatically in all, but the more trivial cases. There is unsafe Rust, and it's strictly worst than Zig as a C replacement.

On the other hand for simple API-consuming applications Rust is needlessly complicated. You throw time and money out of the window with it.

Rust's sweet spot is replacing C++.
I would argue racism has always been the element causing instability. Racism is why we don’t have universal healthcare, it’s why the inequality we do have is so punishing. Republicans are the party of white grievance since at least the 1960s, and even mentioning this fact is enough to send so-called moderates rushing to vote Republican because how dare I point this out.
I lived in both, each for the same amount of time, and the US is a wasteland compared to this in many ways. Both sides are effected by the global economy and geopolitics, but things are handled much better here.

> Even more so as American armed forces and weapons (and our tax dollars and political system) are what protect all of you from annihilation.

This is delusional. All you've ever done is make the world more insecure for your own gain[1]. You invade and overthrow everyone who ever disagreed with you and scream "freedom" at everyone.

> The grass is always greener but I prefer it here.

You've never lived here, that's why.

> I enjoy biking and hiking in the woods (not city streets)

That really is a problem with the city streets. In the Netherlands, bikes are considered such an essential mode of transport that they often have priority over cars.

You'd think that'd result in dutch cities being hell for drivers, but they're really not. Because you're not competing for space with all the people that can choose another mode of transport. Unlike most places in the US where everyone is forced to use a car because good alternatives are nonexistent.

You're not going to drive fast in a dutch city, but you'll also not get "stuck in traffic".
>Salaries for perm positions being "significantly lower" in the US than in EU

On HN, we hear all the time that the inverse is true. Is it because high salaries are limited to Silicon Valley?

In Western Europe, freelancers with good credentials and a large network can have yearly gross revenuу of 100..200k€. Is this comparable to US freelance revenue?
This! The best way to get better at writing is to write :)
Interesting. Can you expand on how this is similar to/different from a functional approach? i.e. using types & values to define and hold data respectively, and functions to define the logic/transformations that apply among types.
> However the site got funding and started to focus on “diversity” and “inclusion” at all costs. Created a new CoC and the beginner content flooded in and has gone downhill since.

I was with you until that sentence. Focusing on “diversity” and “inclusion” or having a Code of Conduct with values like "Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences" is most likely not the reason for a community going downhill or beginner content flooding in.

The more likely reason is that the community became too big, the fluff posts from Medium shifted to other platforms and them not having a solid system for curating and surfacing interesting and valuable posts.
IMHO, encapsulation is a principle that can also be applied to non-traditional OOP or even FP, even when there is no mutable state.

It's mostly about limiting the knowledge that certain parts of the program need to have about the internals of certain other parts of the program. For example, if I want to use Redis as a cache, I can make sure to only do so via a specific set of functions and data structures from a particular class/module/... that don't expose any lower-level details.
I think it’s a it of winner takes all paradigm. The good places are getting better and average places decline as business and wealth moves to the better places, driving up prices.

Similar experience. And MS accusing me I dropped it and refusing warranty. I did not drop it; it was broken out of the shop. It never worked well even after I paid for fixing (they just sent a new one). Would be nice if it worked but maybe they should learn something about customer experience and hardware quality from other vendors.
Crypto Exchange Bitpanda Cuts Staff by Hundreds
You've begged the question a little by choosing France, a country with roughly the same cost of living as the US or Germany, but with programmer salaries more in line with smaller or eastern European countries.

It's true French programmers may be able to swing 10x in (parts of) the US, but they can find 2-5x just by moving to Germany or northern Europe.
It's really weird that people publish rankings without any slider to set the viewer's preferences.

I think it's more a bunch of fresh graduates who've never been to most of the cities on the list looked at some data points (and then after realising they were mostly the same as last year's data points did a few news searches to find some points of difference)
DB is honestly pretty okay. Germans just love to complain.

The biggest problem with DB is that they're privatized (but state-owned). They've been cutting large parts of the rail network off for good and instead invest in large infrastructure projects with dubious benefits (and then DB executives retire as executies in construction companies hired for these projects).
Hard to not conclude that in the US with our complete disinterest in finding out what happened.

The whole thing is so strange. I think back to the odd videos from China at the very start of people collapsing in the street. Only the first videos the world seen of the pandemic and they had nothing to do with reality but no one cares. No big deal.
In not the person you've responded to but I've never been able to get `pg_dump -Fc` and restore to work across versions. It always errors out for me, saying it's an invalid/broken backup.

> Modern agriculture has created the most amazing abundance the world has ever seen

The apparent cornucopia that is the modern supermarket is in fact a huge Diesel engine that runs 24/7, achieving high outputs at the price of the atmosphere, land cover, biodiversity of flora and fauna, and so on pp. Not that ancient man had no influence or only desirable influence on their land, or that some cultures (e.g. mesoamerican ones) were not after centuries at a local point-of-no-return in terms of land use. But stating that only modern agriculture with its vast demands on water, fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources (like phosphate) can save today's hungry billions conveniently neglects that we are the ones that eat our descendants' futures by dumping all the oil (in the form of energy) and phosphate (in the form of fertilizer) onto our fields. According to the National Geographic (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/farmers-a...), "farmers [in Europe] apply roughly 4 kilograms of phosphorus for each kilogram that we consume in food. For U.S. diets, that ratio is about 9 to 1, and in China, it may be as high as 13 to 1". Add to that pesticides, irrigation and not least the est. 50% loss of all foodstuff between the farmer's field and the consumer's stomach and it all starts looking less like a miracle. Historically, it looks more like a hayfire. The candle that burns twice as bright.
I find it hilarious that you think I’m freaking out.
