Can you elaborate why that's a factor? The tools are just binaries in how they're used, the language they're written in is no longer a factor then. It's a good argument if you're talking about transferable skills th

I joined a consultancy a few years ago and Angular is the de facto standard at most enterprises we work for; I'm as surprised as you are.

It's important to remember that at no point was there a pendulum swing per se, that is, only few actually ported their Java code to Python for example. The discussions and articles online seemed to infer that, but that's uh. media

Probably cheaper than doing it by hand, however, that's the short term "port x to y" cost, the longer term cost (or benefit) is a lot harder to calculate.

Tractors (and farms) should be subject to regular emissions checks anyway, just like cars etc. Both to check for intentional tampering and wear & tear issues causing excess emissions. The party making the change is responsible for the v

This was at least a decade ago, but the game's economy seems to be managed well enough. Cost of having stuff transported is still 1M / jump.

I hope this will lead to some AI bros quickly finding performance optimization options; the game can be very heavy on graphics despite most of what's visible being a skybox and UI elements, and the UI is often very sluggish and unrespo

It hasn't, at best since then they've added more ship personalization options in the form of ship skins, and some gamification via events, daily login campaigns, and now seasonal-like content where they promote different activitie

Love how most of the comments are all "here's something that's different/better than what you shared" instead of appreciation. Show HN should be motivating instead of one-upmanship.

Take curl, it has had many more than 100 experts going through it over the years, and yet with new tooling (AI) they located a bunch of other issues. Perfection in software does not exist, but that's fine as long as you're aware.

It's the same in the Netherlands (needing a minimum language level), I suspect it's 25+ years of right-leaning, anti-migration governments; as a compromise they said "foreigners can stay as long as they integrate into our soc

If it beeps when you're NOT using your phone then people won't care about using their phone to begin with.

That may be one reason, the other being they lost the Chinese market almost overnight a few years ago.

Is that because of a lack of interest or because the requirements and education required are just very high level and specialised?

Not knowing is fine, but a refusal to learn is not. I think that's the major issue with first social media / short attention span content, modern media over-explaining stuff, and nowadays with AI. Even if they get an answer from A

Yes, and it's a great example of an industry that was completely decimated by automation - you can get a functional watch for a fiver, whereas back when every watch was handmade and a de-facto inheritance piece. But bespoke, handmade,

This assumes the 1 million is all they get or can use to pay them with. The 1 million is a subsidy, not their salary. Besides, 90K after taxes is upper middle class. 160K / year is 13K / month which is nearly twice the average inc

I for one am still waiting for US tech companies to bribe me to come work for them.

Exactly; the biggest company in the Netherlands and its products (ASML and high end lithography machines), is built on top of the works of only a handful of researchers. The US nuclear weapons and space programs were similarly built on top

For a lot of people it's easier to learn English than Chinese - you wouldn't get far if you don't speak the language in China. English gets you very far in Europe though, most research institutions, universities, high end pro

This is a hugely loaded statement, but that aside, China is not open to immigrants, that was the original thesis and that hasn't been disproven yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_China has a good summary (click through to its sources); as of 2020 there were about 1.5 million immigrants in China, just under 600K of which from Hong Kong/Macao&#x2

It can be art even if you don't consider it artistic. CoD is an example of military art. Marvel is American blockbuster art translating American comic book art to the screen. They are their own kind of artistic expression and achieveme
