How is it useless? You're in traffic, you check Twitter on your phone, you change your plans. I can't subscribe to an RSS feed on a phone by default

Stop being facetious. Twitter is way more complicated to build than a static website, and even if you did you wouldn't reach the same amount of users.

Even if you don't use it, you can check it during an emergency. Even if you don't check it, someone else else was checking it and relaying that information to you. You used to be able to search an account on an app you already hav

Twitter is reliably real time. Yes, governments push information out in other ways, but it's unclear how real time it is. If you see a government account tweeting about a current event, you used to be able to assume that that was the l

This article is literally about a government agency that couldn't communicate emergency fire evacuation because they were rate limited, due to the idiotic changes made by musk. That can only mean Twitter can't be relied on for any

Oh yeah, that's definitely not how I read it. Thanks!

An algorithm is just a bunch of rules to follow to perform an operation, so this looks like an algorithm to me.

Nobody says it's free, why are you moving the goalposts?

Makes sense, you haven't had to look for a place in 20 years. Yes, you have to pay for it, it doesn't matter, electricity is cheap. And clearly you've never rented a car with your mates or taken one of the shuttle buses to t

Yeah, that's very true, there's definitely parts of the industry (usually those related to traditional engineering) that take a more rigorous approach to software. I'd say it's still a very small section though, and the

Depends on where you're from then, but citizens poorer countries might have an easier time going to Canada.

Have you worked in industry at all? Whatever we do, it's definitely not engineering

What the fuck are these numbers. The pay is more like 40%-20% lower. Senior devs can just negotiate remote roles with US companies. Rent in Toronto is definitely not the same as SF, even if you ignore the currency gap. Cost of living overal

Tech workers get private healthcare in Canada too

Buddy I'm a Canadian citizen and live in Tokyo now, you're the one whose world is so small they can't contemplate the idea that better places exist

And I know they're not! Funny how that works out

by amrocha 3y ago
You claim I'm the one with Reddit comments, but you're the one vomiting a bunch of numbers to support your stance at me hahahaha Anyway, I'm not denying any of those things. That still doesn't mean people think the US is

by amrocha 3y ago
Well, I'm Canadian and I wouldn't move to the US over Canada so you can add me to the list! Now you know someone! Also, most highly skilled Canadian devs I know just negotiate remote positions with US based companies. That's

No, that's what the guy I'm replying to is saying. I disagree, plenty of people go to Canada as a first choice and love it there. The Chinese Canadian thing does happen. It's usually 1st generation immigrants with very few ti

Sure mate, you can think the assumptions are incorrect, but you're clearly biased towards the US. Everyone else isn't. If a bunch of people are telling you they don't like your country, maybe believe them. Sounds like you mov

I feel you, it can be hard knowing that you could be making more money across the border. However, I don't know if I agree with you about SF and NYC being equivalent to Toronto and Vancouver. They're just not. We complain about re

by amrocha 3y ago
I see where you're coming from and I agree, Vancouver can definitely feel soul crushing if you're not making a lot of money. There's huge problems with the city right now. But I also think it's important to maintain pers

It's literally my own experience, and most of my friends who live by themselves have said similar things. Most people my age don't want a car, we want to live in the city center. People that live with their parents have a car usua

Are you actually from Vancouver? Nobody uses that site to look for a place, people use craigslist, and even then there's a bunch of sub 2K places. And heating is electric in 99% of Vancouver homes. I had almost all those things you men

Average price includes luxury places. Spend a couple weeks searching and you won't pay the average. Inflation, sure, it's still not gonna be more than 700$. My 500$ figure is literally from 2022. Rent insurance is 30$ per month, a

Yeah, I lived in Vancouver until last year too. I'm aware of that kind of post, and many of my friends who recently graduated from uni worry about that too, but it's a stretch to claim they're sobbing and depressed and in tea

I'm not disagreeing that there's problems to be solved around how to support our sick and disabled. But the recent outrage over it is definitely an overreaction, and is being brought up by the same people that were complaining abo

by amrocha 3y ago
Again, literally not true. There's plenty of people that would hate to live in the US, and much prefer Canada. Plenty of immigrants. Those people work in the Canadian offices. I don't know if you know this, but the rest of the wor

Your numbers are way off >30K on rent Not unless you're living in luxury towers in rich areas. A 1 bedroom or a studio will rarely go above 2K, even in Vancouver or Toronto. >2500 on food If you're cooking, and not being fru
