For what it's worth, the companies seeking foreign employment either want dirt cheap labour (in which case you won't find an appartement any time soon) or are very big, very rich companies that do offer significant wages. As far as I can tell, Germany is rather in-looking when it comes to their highly skilled workforce so when you do get in, you get in at the top or all the way at the bottom.

If you move to Germany before having found a job, you'll have to get those high wages and the fancy appartement that comes with it yourself. You probably won't, especially if you're coming from a country with extremely high wages for devs like the USA or to some extent the UK, and expect around the same amount of money.

Social factors do play a role (it's easier to connect to someone who doesn't need you to switch to a foreign language just for them) but there is dedicated expat housing all around the world, for a price. Learning German and about German culture will definitely help your chances, both in securing a job and in everything else in Germany.
Another year, another “the end of crypto” prediction. Oh well.
I believe it comes down to signal-to-noise ratio here. It seems to me that almost every post about crypto drowns in "crypto bad" comments which aren't useful and hinders any legit criticism that may be.
This seems to miss `cppmm` (C++--)[1].

This crate is currently mainly aimed at helping people from the Rust group of the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF) to make wrappers for the visual effects ecosystem of libs.[2]

It is nevertheless very useful for all types of other cases.

[2] The above just means effort is prioritized regarding the blockers these libs present due to the resp. C++ features they use.

Ireland's first language is Irish, not English. Ireland has done pretty well embracing English as its operating language.
Because no indie dev can compete with big co when it comes to pricing. It’s just a race to the bottom.

Where you have a chance to compete is by offering a differentiated service like q boutique company.

I don’t want to get customers that will complain about paying an extra $6. These are the people that will complain about minor things and just cause trouble. Raising prices will get rid of these problematic customers. People that really see the value of a bespoke solution will still pay for it
I don't see it. Say there's a magic central repo where all 'good' C++ goes. Each project still has it's own build system, which interacts with unexpected environments by falling over. Exactly like we have today.
>Regarding language, unfortunately English is no longer a EU language and so I see little reason to make an effort to support it when alternatives are available.

Of course it is an EU language as Ireland is still a member.

Also, alternatives to English are not readily available to the overwhelming majority of people in Europe or outside. English is the language of international business and science.
> Regarding language, unfortunately English is no longer a EU language and so I see little reason to make an effort to support it when alternatives are available.

What about Ireland and Malta?

Also English is the language of international business. It's crazy not to support it.

Germany is a technologically backward, conservative and anti-innovation backwater. From refusing card payments to absurd "privacy" laws (banning Google Street View and use of CCTV, etc.) and no digital identification, stopping nuclear power, etc.

It's terrible how much influence such a conservative backwater has on the EU, and actually makes me skeptical of the EU as a whole. For example, the GDPR is a nightmare for startups - where a few angry customers can cause you hundreds of thousands of Euros in legal costs and implementation issues. It really destroys the ability to iterate quickly.

The drug market is estimated at 2 Trillions. I don't know, though, about export controls. That being said, I think the level that crypto is being used for money laundering or drugs is really minimal.
During my biomedical engineering undergrad, I messed around with some electroencephalograms. They have a long way to go before the aforementioned capabilities. I’m interested, of course, but I have to admit I’m not too hopeful. The current state of the art is like a single unreliable rotary encoder.

Maybe something realistic will be along the lines of reliable single, dual, or triple controls. Imagine a programmable keyboard with 3 switches. I’m just ideating, and don’t really have much empirical basis, but that intuitively seems like a reasonable outcome. If all I had to do was wear a rechargeable (non-bulky) headband to get an extra 3 key-switches, that would be very useful. (Especially for people or applications without use of hands.)

I have no idea how well (if at all) the communication works in the other direction. This is even more fun to fantasize about.
Indeed. Only sensible way to do things in the 2020s, for both efficiency and power density.

Well... Musk has had a number of comedians blocked on Twitter who showed just how unreliable that new "verification" system actually is a few days ago. It's not too far-fetched to fear the same kind of reaction towards criticism on his other properties as well.
Nope, just scareware. Use NoScript in browser, enable a firewall (eg. firewalld) and don't preview attachments in e-mails from unknown senders (unless your mail-provider provides proxy previews the attachments). Oh, and no reusing passwords.

My sympathies for the gentleman -- but out of curiosity: for cases like this, what "time duration" would be "not surprising"? Even if he had stayed on for one more month, that would have been as shocking as well. Two months? Three?

My suspicion is that there's no time duration within which this wouldn't be an upsetting experience. Perhaps unless we're talking about like a year, which no company would do anyway.
You seem to have serious lack in understanding when it cmes to legal entities. If you have a small number of large outside investors, a GmbH isn't adding much hassle. If you have multiple small investors, choose a different legal entity form. Those do come with different sets of requirements. Legal consultation helps, I would even say is necessary, regardless of country.

In the end it comes down to cost of business. If the German market is interessting enough, a GmbH is just one thing to do. If it is not, pick another EU country.
The blending between background and hair are the real give-away. Some of the faces are really quite convincing.
Perhaps it's more streamlined in the UK, but generally in Europe you will have to go to a notary.

The process is often 1) notary (incorporation deed creates the entity), 2) followed by setting up a bank account (get the initial capital in) and 3) do some additional registrations for your new entity, such as corporate and VAT number.

While it can take a while depending on the country, it in all honesty isn't as bad as portrayed. But since he was setting up a holding entity to hold the shares before he could incorporate his actual operating company, he had to go through it twice.

Great, so now we have cxx, autocxx, crubit and cppmm. The Rust folks should convene an actual Working Group on this issue, there's clearly a lot of demand for a solution.
Build will always be more expensive, finish later and require more maintenance than your worst case scenario. If your competitive edge over the competition lies within the bounds of what you are building, then it may be worth it.

Building it is one thing. Maintaining, updating, running the development team, hiring/firing etc. comes along as second order consequences.

So I would approach the question from the point of whether this is the "secret sauce" that keeps the competitive edge. If not, then I would buy it from others.
All well and good unless your 'worst case' is only a step or two away, which look plausible or even probable.
It seems like the angle "designed for solos and small teams" works great. I'll consider emphasizing this even more on the website.
I’m not knowledgeable about Canadian work visas specifically, but many countries extend them only within the context of specific employment. In other words, he may need to take what he can get, in a rough economy, under immense stress (as someone who has lived in that situation before can attest to), lest he have to go all the way back.
Serum, once a 130B project backed by SBF, is now dead
He uprooted his life, moved across the globe, then got laid off and is likely facing a prospect of having to leave Canada (not familiar with work visa types there).

This happens a lot in my country. Eastern Europeans on temporary contracts and company housing (and we use the word house very liberally it is usually just a bed) end up on the streets when fired. They don't get help from the government because no passport.

The socialist welfare state cannot be extended to foreigners or it would run out of € and the temp agencies take no responsibility.
Are you trying to make a distinction without a difference? Nope, hiring for a role you expect to cut at the same time is not the decent or even sane thing to do.
Its not an insult to Germany. Its an insult to people from non-english speaking countries. The normal situation for most people across the world is: you go to another country, you don't share any language with the people there, and as the foreigner, there is no option for you but to learn the local language.

You have the privilege of having English as mother tongue, you can go to another random country and you'll have people speak your language. And yet you complain that the foreign authorities don't work in your language. This is what aggravates people on reddit and here.
Very interesting, gained a follower if not just for the intriguing topical discussion but more for the the prompt interaction regarding LLM and patturn recognition, (likely self biased due to lack of foundational and topical knowledge). Noticed in particular certain prompt/response input and output type spacing regarding ML interaction, also in the author's responses and prompts but also in the return outputs from the ML model examples. Appears to me that certain "functional" prompts/responses returns odd (non-numerical in this instance) type spacing. I suppose this is more of a prompt question of my own.
How do these apparent word spacing returns/entries effect the ML training overall or effect user prompts, is it a functional return from input or output? Much of the differential type space inconsistencies appear to be located around linguistic prompt and return (string delimiters?) Examples such as double, triple space or something in between (derrived from my visual perspective without actual analysis of the site code) around functional language linked prompts. Words which denote a functional inference or a linking inference. Seems to be more concentrated around functional code language (definitive phrasing, ex. is, for, while, if etc.) as well as words which give or request more context linguistically, adjective and individual objective based functional language especially in the prompts to the ML systems. Not well versed with the topic(s) as of yet.
> Or just use 867-5309. Wherever that number goes, the person there is expecting it.

As soon as everyone switched to all use 867-5309 you'd have the exact same problem. You'd learn to recognize it immediately and all immersion would be lost.

I agree it's annoying and the whole fake phone number thing should die. For all the money they waste making and advertising movies and TV shows they can fork over the money for a phone line in the appropriate area code and if people call it they can harvest the cell phone numbers for spam and market research or something.
The bigger issue is that he is likely now without a work visa and has to scramble to avoid deportation.
which if there's a 1 year cliff, means he didn't have a vesting date then....
They choose more expensive shops arguing better variety or quality but in reality they just want to be in that group buying in more expensive brand shop, walking the same corridors as welthier or more wasteful people. In small towns they are afraid of being noticed by neighbours in cheaper shops - despite it being logically right place to see them, they feel their opportunities and prestige rises when they meet their boss in the same shop.
It escalated into creation of galleries milking young generation greedy of showing off. If displaying a hologram of your social media avatar with qrcode above your head was possible they would pay to do this, the more expensive it would be the more eagerly.
But of course there is also the middle class's deep wisdom of "the poor can't afford paying twice for a product" - pointing out modern quality problem. But every reason in time gets covered by a custom, for longer than reason exists.
Thanks so much for the detailed answer and the insights!! Helps a lot, since I’m currently looking at Haxe for an upcoming project.
A few ideas:

Singapore: probably meets all of your requirements. Low tax, easy to open a business, lots of private schools. No idea how to rate the hospitals, it has a couple in the best hospital lists in the world, but I don't trust those. Drawback is everything is expensive.

Andorra: not cold for Northern European standards. Low tax, a couple of international schools, private medicine, you should be able to access the private medical system in Spain. A few inconveniences are no train, no airport (closest are Barcelona and Toulouse), custom inspections into France or Spain, generally isolated feeling and tourist centered feeling.

Portugal: Warm and friendly people with good food. I don't know anything about the schools or medical system. Bureaucracy probably isn't great. Low tax for a couple of years. Unfortunately local citizens do not benefit it so a foreigner taking advantage of it is likely displacing a local. Feels very unfair.

Puerto Rico: not cold, no US federal taxes. If you are a US citizen and non-resident and move there, there are some other tax benefits, but people who were already residents can't take advantage of it. Lots of infrastructure problems.

Well the repeated obfuscation between 'product' and 'code' when someone asked you how an open source project with an Apache License can depend on your project. Realistically, there's no way a project with a fully permissive license like Apache/MIT can use your project.

You say:

> The GPL is a good fit for open source users

As the thread tells you, it's clearly not for the many Apache/MIT licensed Rust projects that cannot use your GPL licensed code.

Again you say:

> With the GPL, we are happy to let open source users use the library for free.
Commercial users still will be able to use the library because of the escape hatch of the dual license.

You make this differentiation between commercial and open source users while conveniently ignoring that the most permissively open source projects (Apache/MIT) are practically prevented from using your software.

At least with BSL, projects are honest about what they're doing. Don't play both sides.

A (vesting) cliff doesn't mean you have to wait 1 year for the vesting, it means that your vesting significantly reduces after 1 year.
But my point is the current macro economy, which includes BOTH supply and demand and ALL things considered. For example, the job market(current situation + forecast) relative to the amount the applications(current candidate pool + yearly growth), the cost of living(current situation + forecast), etc. I am not sure what your point is. I never solely talked about the job market. My central question is: is it easier or harder to get a good job to sustain a middle class compare to 50-60 years ago(from a macro economy perspective)? Sure everyone has a chance, is the chance higher or lower?

If you can't really tell what micro/macro mean, you should pick up those economy topics first. I am done trying to teach basic econ 101

> You may not remember the TI-99/4, although it was for a brief time the best-selling computer in America,

I certainly remember it - the /4A was my first computer. My dad thought that 16-bit was the wave of the future, so chose it over the 8-bit machines of the era.

I mean, he wasn't wrong, per se, but there was so much more available for the Apple 2.

I learned "sprite" because of the BASIC manual that came with the machine. I didn't realize the term originated with Texas Instruments.

I was surprised about "Danny Hillis, while working for Texas Instruments in the late 1970s" as I didn't realize he worked for TI.

While the Wikipedia entry says "It was also used by Danny Hillis at Texas Instruments in the late 1970s", it doesn't Danny Hillis doesn't appear to have been employed by TI.

From what I could tell, he was working at MIT, for Seymour Papert, on a TI sponsored project.

I added the discussion section "Hillis and TI" to the relevant Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sprite_(computer_graphics... .

BTW, making games in TI BASIC with sprites was very easy. My most advanced was a Moon Lander clone. I used a sprite for the lander, hand-created shapes for each rotation, and with a flat ground I was soon done. .. though there was some jerkiness problem in how I handled sprite velocity updates, which I needed help to resolve.
I wouldn't be so certain that his contract is as good as contract of US citizen working for Meta. Whole point of hiring and relocating people from abroad is that they have much weaker negotiation position so they usually being paid much less.

Well, I was surprised as a German living abroad in the EU when I went to visit family in Germany and realized that my phone stopped working. My pre-paid card used to work in Germany for 10 years before that but Germany decided to switch it off. So now nobody can reach me whenever I'm in Germany. It's not entirely clear what the advantage of that is.

I think these are still technical. No social media company would pick these words, because they'd have branding. Twitter doesn't have posts, it has tweets, and retweets.

I think "federation" would be better as something like "community", and "instance" as "neighborhood" - which have real-life equivalents that someone who knows nothing about computers can understand, or at least maybe make a guess as to what they are.
Is it open sourced? I'm interested in learning how to do that.
Tabular grain film had more uniform particle sizes; fewer large outliers -> less apparent grain. There may have been a difference in the emulsion (chemistry, thickness) as well but that's what I was told accounted for most of the effect.
The article starts with the famous quote by Jamie Zawinski:

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ‘I know, I’ll use regular
expressions.’ Now they have two problems.

It then goes on to discuss the perils of regular expressions, when they encounter unanticipated data and run into catastrophic backtracking because of greedy expressions.

The article is short and to the point.
