I feel like there's a lot of people here that really hate going back to the office because they already moved out of location and are desperate to avoid any commute if possible. There can be balance.It's not one or the other.

Does not MS employ people like Sylvan Clebsch? I am sure they employ a lot of folks that understand the actor model.

The UK is eager to open up to its ex-colonies (India mainly).

Yeah.I would say the Swift ecosystem is too detached from different platforms than iOS/macOS. It's a nice language but useless if you want to use it as a generic purpose tool.

This is american cultural imperialism. Plaina and simple. I am planning to migrate to Russian or Chinese hosted git alternatives.

>of human rights are a replacement for safety and prosperity, CCP logic right here.We cant suppress your human rights because of development and lifting people from poverty. Oh yeah same thing that Park Chung Hee said and what lead to Gw

Oh yeah the irony of actually believing in human rights. I guess you use the same twisted CCP logic when it comes to building infrastructure. Lets just totally ignore human rights because we can build trains and roads much faster than those

That's not an excuse for implementing draconian CCP measures in democratic societies. Freedom of movement is a human right.I repeat.Freedom of movement is a human right. Free countries should take every possible ways first before they

Most countries reversed the decade of progress in favor of CCP dystopian bullshit. I could not visit my friends and extended family abroad because "IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL TRAVEL".

There is a huge difference between having to work from home and having the option to work from home. I prefer the latter. I really like going to the office and also loved my commute. Being at home 24/7 feels like I am working all the t

Just $90k means you earn more than most devs in Europe on average.

Free healthcare in Europe sucks.I usually go to my wife's home country to get superior and efficient healthcare (South Korea). In Europe at least in german speaking countries the healthcare is mediocre or subpar for what we pay for it

Language is not the only problem.It's the different rules that apply to the EU countries.Imagine you have non-EU spouse and they are basically constrained to one european country. Here the EU means nothing.

I keep hearing this all the time and it never happens. The US is also recovering much faster from this pandemic than the EU.

Europe does well to keep talents in relative poverty compared to our peers in the US. Most IT people are in the 50-60k/pa bracket.Some are in 80k and anything > 100k/pa is an exception. And this is usually with progressive taxa

Another scam pushed by the EU that will make things more expensive. The cost of labor to repair anything is so high that no one will ever want to do it unless their appliance is the top of the high end stuff that costs thousands of euros. I

My idea is not to tax luxuries to finance UBI.The point is to make UBI a sustainable thing not just a flat income that still plays according to the the market rules (inflation). UBI needs to be coupled with progressive thinking.Simply build

by EdwinLarkin 6y ago
This would not work.UBI would raise inflation to sky high level making basic utilities and products super expensive. UBI needs to be combined with taxes and tax exemptions on things that are essential to life like housing and healthy food,h

Work from home has been detrimental to my mental health. Yeah if I had a better flat/house it would have been much better than commuting to the office but not everyone can afford this luxury.

So I cant visit my family that is 9000km away from me because some psychotic left wing extremist decided that air travel is bad. All travel is essential.We have freedom of movement in most of democracies.

We IT workers are one of the most privileged people on planet earth.We earn a lot of money and can work from anywhere and yet we have decided to be manipulated by the Big Corporations to do the wrong thing. Behind every open source project

This is some bullshit right here.Most of us spend $10 a day on crap.Why is paying for software that is useful so "I cant justify it?". We need to realize that paying for software is something we have to do otherwise we will end up

We in the EU should have temporarily nationalized Pfizer/Biontech and force them to give up the formula and manufacturing process. We should have done the same to all pharma capable of manufacturing the vaccine. We are in a state of wa

With the number of lockdowns in Europe it feels like a spit to the face for all of the businesses and tax payers in Europe. Even throwing more money at the problem sounds better than not doing anything but I wish the EU would have forced Pf

I cant use Windows as my main for its terrible tendency to allow programs to just pollute the filesystem anywhere and everywhere. I need a way to keep my system tidy and any installation can possibly mean 1) infection with whatever *ware (e
