I agree, I don’t consider a good trade a much higher salary but having to live in that society. Life is not only about money and in this sector we are lucky enough to have a above average salary everywhere in the world.

Must be some EU/U.K. rule imposing clarity on risk but usually I find this stuff buried deep in terms and condition.

What about the similar services like Trading 212. Should they be trusted?

I can’t. We are not talking about a start up trying to deliver a product to test the market as soon as possible but a gaming studios delivering a polished experience. I really hope they didn’t have such amateur problems

I wonder how this game got released in the first place. In another life I worked as game tester and I am sure that most issues I read on 2077 must have been caught in those test. If Sony really cares about their brand more than fearing the

People voting me down probably didn’t get my point. If a tool is inefficient people won’t use it. A way to detect COVID that would produce many false positive would mine the spread of its use. Also, if the demographic sample is not done pro

A lot of false positive would make this solution unreliable and would have the same effect of a lockdown. Also, 70k people sample could also mean discrimination towards minorities, we aren’t all made the same.

I am no expert but isn’t 200k sample a low number? I am worried about false positive

Your example is something illegal and easy to condemn but you are raising a good point about thinking of the consequences of our job. It is hard to balance career with ethics.

From my experience the amount and the quality of resources available in English is simply not comparable with any other language. Surely it is possible without but much harder. I am Italian, during my studies I had the chance to read techni

Stavros, you said it yourself. It depends on the language you already speak. Learning a programming language doesn’t have any starting point whereas a human language has. Regardless of how different the languages, you can still find similar

You are a kinder person than me :). I totally agree with eecc. Even just the punctuation is bizarre to say the least.

Human languages are intuitive, share some aspects and we have centuries of knowledge on how to learn them. Programming is still a relatively new activity in comparison and requires a set of knowledge that you don’t already get in your youth

You simply can’t be effective in programming without knowing English. Having few words translated in your language wouldn’t help much. Moreover it is much easier to learn English than learning how to code.

No intention to be rude but the Readme page doesn’t seem written by somebody native. I understand that English is basically the only language for technical writing but writing that bad in Italian defies the purpose of this Gem altogether.

As a fellow not native speaker I don’t think this should matter the moment you choose to use English. Also, personally, it wasn’t just the grammar that put me off but also all the aggressive colloquialism used.
