I personally know someone who lost everything to a risky investment / investment scam. Not crypto, the traditional kind. They borrowed money from friends and family, their primary residence is mortgaged, and their net worth is deep into the negative.

That you somehow believe everyone losing money to investment scams is responsibly investing only an appropriate portion of their side/play money tells me you know very little about this space.
Interesting work? A love for liberty? Less crab mentality?

Sorry, as a somewhat disgruntled European I couldn’t resist.
After writing a lot of text, print it out, take it outside if the weather's nice, put away your laptop, tablet, and phone, sit down with a pen, read over the entire document, and mark up the paper with your pen.

It's a much better experience and result than reading on a screen, editing it while you're reading, getting distracted, jumping back and forth between doing other things.
Which public transport system is your assumption based on? I used many public transport systems (Mostly Europe and Asia) and usually you don't have to account for schedules if you are in a city as trains / subways / busses just arrive every few minutes.

The rare case where you have to take a lot of luggage can always be covered by taxis. In no way is that more annoying than finding parking, sitting in traffic, taking your car to maintenance etc.
The inherent view so many Europeans have of the US based solely on news or anecdotes from expats is pretty amusing sometimes.

Nobody is getting a lawyer just to sign up at a gym, and our incomes are comically higher for skilled persons than European salaries. I literally make 10 times what my French counterpart would in my profession and with a much lower tax rate so the real difference is even larger. I could work for 5 years and retire in France wealthier than if I had worked a 40 year career in France. Would I rather be disabled or unemployed in France? Probably, but that's not exactly the HN audience.
Lots of anti American comments in this thread, so I’ll attempt to actually answer your question. Background - I’m an American who moved abroad for 12 years (UK) and returned after Brexit.

Salaries are much higher than the EU. But in some cities cost of living is high. Coming from Berlin, you’ll have an easier time finding an apartment, but it will be expensive. I’d expect to pay $2000 to $2500 per month for a decent apartment in Princeton. Also, you will require a car. Public transport here is not feasible for the most part. A decent car will be $250 per month base, plus $100 to $200 insurance per month, plus fuel. Food is cheap and plentiful. The portion sizes are twice as large for the same equivalent price as the EU :). Make sure you get healthcare coverage through your wife’s job - this shouldn’t be a problem. If you are both in good health you should be fine. If you have preexisting medical conditions then it will likely be much more expensive for you here than in the EU.
If you can't read my example I am sorry to tell you, you don't have the necessary skill set to work as a programmer.

I hope you take this in the spirit of helpfulness, but when I visit your site I have no idea at all what is going on. It's like timecube got a graphic designer. I'm sorry.
I think I’m in your camp, but unfortunately stuck in Europe. Does it make sense to vote with your feet when you’re 44?
That seems strange, the only incompatibilities between major versions are generally only the catalogs.

I don't remember any version whose storage format is cannot be read by the next versions (none since 2010). Could you add some more info what issues you had?
no worries, it definitively helps to put things in perspective. We have not made our mind up yet, so these "angles" are super helpful too.
Depending on your needs it may be easier to use WSL2 under Windows vs native Linux since you get full device support. Fwiw I used Surface Go <n> in this mode for years as my "light travel coding" platform but have recently upgraded to the arm-based Surface Pro X. Much (much) faster than the Goen, 16G ram and 1Tb SSD available. Also a full sized keyboard - the most annoying thing I found about the Go is not being able to type quickly. The Pro X is physically larger but not much heavier. Since my bags are all large enough for it, the practical payload difference when traveling is minimal.
Yet another lengthy article about how to solve problems you would not have if you would never have started with OOP.
Odd that you think this is some sort of gotcha given that the best predictor of future behavior is, in fact, past behavior.
I wasn't happy with the cheap adau1701 boards. The integrated ADC isn't good, and they only have limited filter capability.

I'm returned mine and got a hifiberry beocreate 4 [1]: DSP + four amps. The adau1451 is much more powerful, and the ADC is pretty decent. As a crossover I use FIR filters, so the four drivers of my small stereo speakers are hooked up to one dedicated channel each. But like with classical crossovers, you need a measurement mic to verify the correct behaviour; unless someone already did that for you.

The adau1452 in the freedsp aurora[2] is even nicer (longer FIR filters), I use that for my big stereo speakers.

What I really recommend/want is skipping the ADC altogether and getting something that connects the DSP (preferably adau145x) digitally to the amps. Both these devices fall short in the regard, as they feed the digital signal into ADCs. But they're both still really good.

Hint if you consider the beocreate: don't use it with a rpi4, that one runs too hot; a rpi3 is perfectly fine for their OS. Once the DSP program is installed you can remove the rpi and use the optical input; or you can use the rpi as the source.

According to the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, an embryo or fetus in utero is recognized as a legal victim. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb."

The bill has however an explicit exception for abortions, saying that regardless if a fetuses are a person, it doesn't mean abortions should be illegal.
Well, our plan is to dominate the domain space, so... I guess it works?!

To anyone unfamiliar with our health care system for typical employees:

Once a year, most companies have a "benefits training" session that explains this year's crazy health care situation. They're boring and I only go to the first one when I join a company.

But it's 2022 and we have youtube, so I found Ohio State's training in public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjAWj0f6DAc

Anyone employed with benefits needs to have at least a vague understanding of everything in there or they're at financial risk.

So when you hear about contractors fighting to become employees so they have access to benefits, they're fighting for the opportunity to make these benefits elections.

I know plenty of people who design systems for a living that find getting their elections right to be confusing.

You'll notice that a big part of our health care cost mitigation is projecting expenses. It's like a prediction market where you can only lose less, but if you get it wrong you can lose a lot.

Fun!
Thanks for the feedback. Re: name, we'll do some brainstorming!

> I've been pleasantly surprised at just how resilient the high-street
has been. In the past year, we've had a new bakery, a new arts and
craft shop, a new cafe, and the farmer's market is going from
strength to strength.

That's awesome. To qualify my comments, I've also seen some of that
change. New shops I've noticed filling in are

- a bike repair shop

- a "slow living" craft shop

- a tailors/upholsterer

- a fishmonger (haven't had one for 20+ years around here)

But in my town (city >300k) the decline has been significant with
large chains, banks, clothing and brand retail shuttering up.

I do my best to support local trade and petit commerce. The ability to

And one of the worst interview questions is one that someone just pulled out of the air because it sounded challenging. Nothing worse than being in an interview and realizing the interviewer doesn't actually know what answers they're looking for.

Do your research, the surfaces tend to have a lot of hardware issues. There are many threads on the support forum about people losing functionality like touch after updates.
I have the surface pro 3 and lucky haven't had major issues, but it has series battery drain while powered off.
These lists also often ignore the weather, which makes a huge difference to what most people consider to be "livable".

Nordic European winters are horrible, and no amount of amenities can compensate.
Thanks! Expired Domains is a great tool, but indeed, their UI isn't superb. That being said, we still have a lot of things that can (and will) be improved too.
Healthcare is complicated as mentioned, but I imagine his wife will get family health insurance. Despite all the true horror stories, the US has top notch health services if you are properly insured and have reserve funds for the inevitable "gotchas" in the system. Don't even dream of showing up without health insurance - the EU beats the US hands down in this scenario.

No comments about needing a lawyer to subscribe to a local gym, it's utter nonsense, perhaps even malicious.
There's also the question whether side effects (IO) are involved in the logging or not. Can it fail (silently)? Is it synchronous ? Does the source care about all of this?
Damned, decent logging can be hard ;)

Substack is a paid newsletter thing. Some Substack newsletters might have some publicly readable entries, but the user experience on Substack is geared heavily towards getting the thing in your e-mail and paying for it, not free reading on the web.
They make it work to various degrees, after decades of experience and R&D. It certainly won’t be easy, judging by the difficulties printers often still have.
You also "need a lawyer" to cancel gym memberships in Western European countries. Do some minimal research yourself.
This isn't a question of who's right or wrong. I'm specifically asking about your claim that abortions are driving "hookup culture." This implies that people are having more sex because of availability of abortions. Why do you think this? For that matter, what makes you think people are having more sex, period?
> Looking at what you linked, total immigrant population increased by 12 million from 1990 to 2000, 8 million from 2000 to 2010, but about 5 million from 2010 to 2019. Big dip.

Yes, the sharp hockey-stick rise of number of immigrants and their share of the population cannot go straight up forever. The only way immigrants can significantly increase in share of the population, while the population increases, is for net migration to be in excess of long-term historical averages. This is still happening today!

Up till COVID, legal immigration was still looking pretty healthy: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/Ann...

This number isn't smooth, but the average is basically constrained by legislation. Note 1987-1991 is a special case after the 1987 and 1990 immigration acts provided for the normalization of the status of many illegal immigrants. Indeed, even the post-COVID number exceeds all years 1920-1988.

> Living in a country with massive demand for nurses that's being filled by immigrants, wages are plummeting. Demand still far exceeds supply.

Wages are so much higher than source countries (e.g. the Philippines) that -doctors- are frequently relocating and completing supplementary training to serve as nurses in the US. Remittances are 9% of GDP in the Philippines and the Philippines is building capacity to educate nurses that far exceeds internal demand; they have to go somewhere and compensation in the US outstrips other options. The number of immigrants in nursing is artificially restricted by immigration quotas.

Indeed, nursing wages are so high in the US compared to other US professions that demand outstrips supply of nursing education for domestically educated nurses.
The problem with cars is the huge negative effect it has on city planning and neighborhoods. It is not really about cars vs public transport. It is about cities built for cars vs cities built for people. I live in the Netherlands and have lived many years in a big western style modern city (Melbourne). It is day and night.

Neighborhoods for cars:

* Noise

* Pollution

* Dangerous for all, especially children and cyclists

* Discourages simple outside exercise like walking or jogging

* Forces car ownership. You can't do anything without a car.

* Massive amounts of space are required for roadways, parking etc.

* Sprawl. Everything has to be spread out.

* Anything immediately outside your home is unpleasant.

Neighborhoods for people:

* Quiet

* Less pollution

* Safe. Children can play outside and go to the park or shops by themselves, or visit their friends by foot or bike. (I sent my 7 year old to get a couple things from the supermarket last week.)

* Biking and walking is pleasant

* You don't need to buy a car

* The neighborhood isn't full of ugly car parks.

* neighborhood is compact, making biking and walking much more viable.

* more space for public green areas
Why Germany Is Rapidly Digging Europe's Largest Hole
Lol. But kinda true. Some of those cities have been hostile and openly racist to Africans and hence most Africans would find cities in Africa a lot more livable compared to the racist mess around the world notably in Europe, Asia and North America.

Let's all pretend that the experience is the same for everyone, if you're not white, you know this is not necessarily true for you
> Zig has neither, and the sad truth is most developers will not make the jump from C and C++ and throw decades of skills out of the window

But that's exactly Zig's killer feature. As a C or C++ developer you don't need to throw your decades of skills out of the window. Instead you can start coding productively in Zig in a weekend. And you don't need to throw away your C (or C++, or Objc) code either, you can just integrate it into your Zig project and it's exceptionally easy to do so.

If that isn't "revolutionary" compared to other, bigger languages which try too hard to be revolutionary but then go on to build out their own little island paradise separated from the rest of the world I don't know ;)

(also if you're looking for an actually revolutionary single feature in Zig, check out how elegantly Zig's comptime feature enables generics and reflection)
I’ve been to the US a couple times for work (all over), always travelled around a bit. I found the people to very, very warm and kind everywhere. Racial segregation is sometimes too real in some places but the black people there seem so positively surprised and very kind when you ask them something as a white dude, it’s easy and rewarding to just be the change you want to see in that respect.

The only reservation I’d have is about the healthcare system especially as you grow older. Maybe get well informed about good insurance.
The GDPR considerations are interesting, and it does seem like GDPR can cover things like behavioral data [1]. I'm not sure how it works in regards to Newpipe, the FOSS youtube client I use though. I assume whatever scraper Newpipe uses in the background has already accepted the cookie consent dialog, which would allow Google to start scraping data like IPs and other behavioral data. Not an expert on GDPR law though obviously.

As far as it being a coincidence, that's usually something I assume as well. But it really comes down to a game of probabilities. Is it more likely that it's a coincidence, or that Google is doing timing analysis? In this case, a coincidence just felt less likely. I check my youtube feed at least once a day, so I know what my recommendations look like. This recommendation was so out of the ordinary that it stood out to me in a sea of my usual recommendations. And it stood out so much that it prompted me to go back and check my Newpipe history and Reddit history, and spend like an hour investigating and trying to figure out what was most likely. I even wrote down notes about the incident. Also I should probably mention now that earlier I had said that I got those youtube recommendations the next day, but checking my notes now, it was actually within an hour. The video that was recommended to me was not some trending video, it was already a few months old. I also searched my Youtube history to see if I had watched anything else from the same channel, and I had only watched 2 videos from that channel total, and over a year prior.

I know that timing analysis seems very nefarious, more high-effort and nefarious that I would expect from even a company like Google. But my guess is that they aren't doing it intentionally, they instead just feed a bunch of analytics data (that they have user consent to collect) into some giant ML model, and that ML model has learned to use timing in its predictions.

How often do you need to measure the approximate voltage of something? Seems to me like a fun gimmick but ultimately not all that useful. the resolution of two colored LEDs would probably have you second guessing what it's telling you every time you do try to seriously use it, and the actual way you're supposed to use it is kind of dodgy and inconvenient, putting an almost all metal object between the two poles of the thing you're measuring.
Is it really that bad in the US? Makes me wonder if I should continue to invest in the US stock market...
I'm not sure about what data it sends home, a lot of stuff I use with Raycast tend to be done locally.

also all extensions on the store are open sourced (https://github.com/raycast/extensions) so you could audit it yourself as well.
Calling out obvious issues one needs to be aware of is not anti American.
If you line up a good opportunity in the US, it could. At 44 you probably made decisions based on the expectations for Europe's safety net when you get older. This would be reset when coming to the US. But depending on what you do, it's possible to command enormous salaries in the US, in which case this move would make a lot of sense.
First of all, I'm not sure who this index is supposed to help. The EIU puts a new version out every year, but keeps pretty much all of it paywalled - I can't imagine who would be willing to pay a few hundred euros to find out that Western Europe is a nice place to live in.

Secondly, it's funny to see how variable the scores are from one year to the next - with rare exceptions (e.g. Kiev right now) cities don't really change that much in the short term.

A few other small observations:

1. It's absolutely comical that Frankfurt ranks 7th. I know the city quite well, it shouldn't crack the top 50 in any vaguely sane ranking.

2. It's also plainly weird that Istanbul is Western Europe but Budapest is Eastern Europe, together with Tashkent, which is comfortably to the East of all of Iran.

3. Why no breakdown for Southern Europe/the Mediterranean?

Year after year when going over these rankings I'm left with the same impression - arbitrary tastes and cultural flexing + some basic common sense observations, all masquerading as science.
I don’t think people realise quite how good we have it in Europe. I would not leave Europe to live in America for any amount of money.
I think WSL is overrated.

I haven't used Windows for years but it was forced upon me by my new employer.

Overall I'm not impressed, at least when compared to a full native Gnome experience.

Not sure how people are managing, any filesystem operation (on C: for e.g.) takes forever, also GUI apps feel sluggish and heat the laptop.
> Food is cheap and plentiful. The portion sizes are twice as large for the same equivalent price as the EU :).

As someone who moved from EU to the US for 6 years and recently got back: the quality of the food is way lower there, though. As in: food standards imposed are significantly lower. I ended buying mostly organic food at Costco after my body significantly changed within first 6 months.

EDIT: don't know why I am being downvoted: the food standards difference is based on actual facts, not my personal experience, it doesn't take a lot of googling to compare the sheer numbers. Or if you're lazy just consider the mere fact that salmonella is still a thing in the US, which is why all eggs are washed before the sale.
because dall-e is mostly a fun novelty, but if you were to use more advanced versions of it for actual image generation, i would definitely be concerned how much of someone elses image ends up in the thing you generated.
>anyone who causes a car accident should be forced to give blood (or any other part of their body) to ensure the victim is saved.

Yes.

>So, I should be forced to give blood if someone’s life is at risk and they need my blood (or, kidney)?

If that someone being in risk was the inevitable biological result of your actions, then yes. You should be forced to save him/her. Because you put him/her there.
