I'll add that in Estonia you can also get married and divorce entirely online with a few clicks. No need to show up anywhere, no need to wait for a long time. More and more countries in EU are getting easier in that sense - Malta has m

If I would've gotten a Euro for every time "is just a DSL" was a reason everything was hard to debug and prone to failure, I'd have many Euros by now.

You should write a book, if you haven't yet. I'd buy it. Love the way you convey emotion with words.

That's why I call it United States of Corporations. A world in which people bow down to companies as their overlords, defend them fiercely, at the expense of personal freedom, financial ability, and general life quality. Could also bri

In EU we mostly use debit cards (virtual and real), as having debt isn't something most people want to have, and credit cards inherently mean debt. Apart from that, you can't really use the card for payments without authorization.

Unfortunately in the modern web simply walking the DOM doesn't cut it if the website's content loads in with JS. You could only walk the DOM once the JS has loaded, and all the requests it makes have finished, and at that point yo

So ... are we about circled back to realizing why COBOL didn't work yet? This AI magic whispering is getting real close to it just making more sense to "old-school" write programs again.

From what I understand of modern hiring practices, the automated systems match for exact keywords, and if WebScript is not in the system, you don't get matched, and no actual human will even see your resume.

In a world where quality content or products disappear at an ever quicker pace, replaced with generic slop with no emotional attachment, functioning as just a way to extract something from you, the consumer, nostalgia becomes ever more valu

Quite often it turns out that the connecting glue that held the friendship together was the shared experience of the same job. Remove that and the friendship fades away.

I've had amazing bosses, and yet I've still quit. Once you get bored and have no room to grow in the company there's little your boss can do about it.

Yes, you also know this in modern PHP. https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.declarations.ph... . You add type declarations just like any other statically typed language, and you can get your static analysis

Modern PHP shops don't really do dynamic PHP anymore. Ever since it got types and runtime type validation. Refactoring is also proven to be very easy as a result, and especially with something like Rector ( https://github.com

Indeed. With AI juniors can create horrible software faster, and in bigger quantities. Based on my experience AI really only enhances your existing talent, and if you have none, it enhances the lack of it, since you still need to be able to

Modern PHP is not a templating language. It can be, much like many other languages can be, but it's not how it is used. Most other languages also implement their own templating languages. Have you seen modern PHP ... I don't know,

by askonomm 1y ago
So this is supposed to be following the practices that were common in PHP ten years ago? Modern PHP is not written in such a way where business logic is mixed with templating. For good reason.

Up to 100k per bank account is secured by the European central bank though, so for most Europeans, the money cannot just simply disappear and you never get it back. And if you have over 100k per bank account, you probably should look for ba

Clojure is very fragile though. Most Clojure companies are driven by vc funding and so whenever there's even a slight economic downturn, the few jobs that there are all disappear, sometimes mid-interview process, I've found out th

Holy crap is this unreadable or what (notably the lsp-base fn). There's a reason why in most Clojure companies I've worked at we try to make as small functions as possible, because otherwise it very very quickly becomes an unreada

I did not say people used 4k displays in early 2010s en masse, I said that's when I last saw people use 1440p displays. I live in present time, and in present time 4k displays are very cheap. It gets a little more pricey if you want hi

4k displays are available at just a few hundred bucks these days, I'd hardly call that being rich.

by askonomm 1y ago
I mean the last time I saw anyone have a 1440p display was back in the early 2010's, so ... nowadays most people that I know buy 4k 27"/32" displays at minimum, with 5k displays gaining popularity as the price for them g

1440p monitor would probably be why the text is blurry - there simply isn't enough pixels to make things smooth without resorting to special hacks to improve LowDPI text rendering, which with more and more displays being HiDPI many don

This is wild to me. In Estonia school lunches are free for everyone, paid by the taxpayer. Doesn't matter if you are poor or wealthy, everybody gets the same food.

by askonomm 1y ago
Not all schools are government institutions or funded by the government. But it wouldn't matter to your point, because by that logic anyone who owns the building should then be able to make rules about what goes on inside that building

And, as seems to be the case with U.S., even the justice department themselves have little interest in enforcing the law, making insider trading the sort of thing that on paper is illegal, but since everybody does it, it's okay.
