And even when they're forcibly removed (e.g. via a vote of no-confidence), they often keep on doing the job until a replacement is found, albeit with limited scope/powers. See France for instance recently.

Switzerland has them for supplementary health insurances. In a nutshell, Switzerland has two types of health insurances. The basic one, which is mandatory, and whose coverage and price is set by the government. It covers more or less everyt

I think it does reduce readability in some scenarios. For instance: const auto& processes = getCurrentlyRunningProcesses(); for (const auto& process: processes) { // Ok, what do I do with process now? Is it a pa

Free international messages/calls as well. That's how most of my friends and I started using it: studying abroad is pretty common in Europe with Erasmus, or even simply vacationing. Before that, we were using Skype, but I remember

I have to admit I have a hard time relating your comment to my experience. I remember a case where we were using a library throwing exceptions when it could not parse some string. I think we were parsing IP addresses, or something like this

Not exactly. There was a parliament election, with three blocks each gaining roughly a third of the seats. The block that won the most seats (but not enough to have a majority) immediately declared they would never compromise/ally with

Something helpful I have seen in this situation is to require the reviewer to test the changes for long PRs, and post proofs (a screenshot, logs, ...). Even with the best of intentions, it's easier to miss things in longer PRs, plus it

As a data point from another country (Switzerland), transmission is between 1/2 to 2/3 in most places here I'd say.

It's more than choosing the right function call, it goes further than that. If your code has patterns, it recognises and suggests them. For instance, one I find very useful is that we have this pattern of checking the result of a funct

I think they meant the other way around: you can have a single string in memory containing multiple numbers, and process that string as a stream.

No idea how it is in the US, but if you have a look at Zürich, Switzerland, something like 20% of the data points are from Google, maybe 50% from FAANG. Clearly very heavily biased towards high-paying multinational companies.

It happens here in Switzerland. There's even an app where you reserve a "mystery" bag, you go right before the shop closes (which is usually 6 or 7pm) and you get a random assortment based on what's about to expire at a

Like some kind of linter? The cardiologist checks the ECG, compare with the LLM results and checks the difference. If it can reduce error rate by like 10%, that's already really good. My current stance on LLM is that it's good for

I don't know, at least for my current team a lot of the stuff we complain about in the retro is beyond the team level: coordination between teams, infrastructure issues, ... The intra team issues are usually talked about before (e.g. d

Do you have a source for your first claim? My understanding is that hydro is mostly saturated in Switzerland ( https://ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/baug/depar... ) There's also very

Depends where you are. It might not be a problem in Australia, but it very much is here in Switzerland. Space is at a premium, and NIMBYISM very strong (and includes not in my mountains). Most of the costs of building a solar plant is the y

Short term contracts have pretty big downsides though. It's basically impossible to get a mortgage on a short term contract, or more generally any kind of loan. Even renting is difficult. That's why many EU countries have pretty s

> "You can't have this paid for by taxes. [...] There's just too much weight behind the never-spoken-out-loud threat of revoking the charter" Sounds like an implementation issue more than a fundamental truth. In Switz

Are the railway strikes in Germany really a good example? It's a public company, no matter what happens it will be kept afloat by the taxpayers. Realistically, if DB were a private company, it would have long gone bankrupt and the stri

There's a difference though between importing talent to work for the local economy and having people who work for foreign companies. Maybe some digital nomads transition from the latter to the former, but given local wages it must be r

I checked the couple of bread products (from Migros) I have at home, and they all say "may contain sesame"? Maybe that's not a representative sample though. I'm not sure what the difference is, except the US goes one ste

If you believe a significant amount of the stock value is due to Elon himself, and he's likely to leave the company if the stocks were not awarded it can make sense. So basically if current value - stock award > value without Elon.

In Switzerland it's mostly about taxes, the tax rates change based on the canton and town, often widely so. It's also about voting rights, but it's much less a concern. I think in countries where the majority of tax receipts

Not the EU, but in Switzerland, you need to be registered in the place you live primarily. If you move to a different town, you have two weeks to deregister at the old one and re-register at the new. To prove you live, you would do it the s

Isn't leftpad the natural conclusion of DRY? Everything is a unique, small, contained and tested library that other code can depend on instead of reimplementing it? The ultimate one source of truth, where if it breaks half the internet

The traditional use case was for surveyors to use it. In that regard it's pretty cheap.

Copilot likes to swallow my } in C++ for some reasons. E.g. if you generate a new function at the end of a namespace block, it will usually use the bracket of the namespace block at the terminator of the function, leaving you one short.
