High consumption, usually, eventually leads to investment. Germany has had a lot of bad investments, especially in infrastructure. Stimulating the economy by increasing the government spending is usually not the worst idea, as it will let t

The "what" can be anything that brings the money these days. But with which skilled workforce? Investment? Regulatory flexibility? Infrastructure? Energy? So the real question is "how", IMHO.

Here's one case that I think is strong: At work some teams use JSF, some use React. We need to deliver components to both. We chose lit and we're very happy.

Lit has an experimental SSR plugin: https://lit.dev/docs/ssr/overview/ I also sort of made SSR work under next.js (not to be mixed with server-components), but that took a lot of hacks and going off the beate

As far as I know, they just renamed it to Gemini. Now I'm not sure if are you arguing that a name change is not supporting a product or that Gemini is a different product with a different feature set?

You are not wrong, but my irrational mind is unlikely to take your advice. Try treating it as a meme, rather than anything belonging to a sane discussion. For me, I don't think I'll ever get over it. I'm sorry.

Honest question, have there been startups which chose PHP recently? To be even more honest, I never thought that PHP was dying, but I often thought it should not be used for new projects. Previous job was in a very PHP-oriented company and

No that's just a fact. It's the same ideology, trying to be sold under "more acceptable" terms. The BS part is people trying to make it sound milder than what it is. It even wants to deport German citizens who they claim

So many people died... yet, people are still voting for the AfD, and the idea of the Final Solution[0] is still somewhat alive under the Master Plan name[1]. I love Germany, but as a migrant living here, this is a "bit" uncomforta

> It poisonous to say elections are “rigged” unless you can prove votes were manipulated The votes were grossly manipulated through undisclosed funding. This would cancel the results in any democratic country.

Yes, you need stupid amounts of money to win, and I see that as normal in capitalist countries given how significant winning is. However, there's also an obligation to disclose the funding sources so people can decide whether they agre

Life in the EU is amazing for me, and probably for you too, as well as many others enjoying it here. However, we can't overlook the struggles of those who are turning to radical populist parties.

They can encode AV1 even. Really amazing, amazing chips for the price. The "stupid" thing with them (maybe) is that they cannot do anything exceptionally good, and that while having compatibility problems. They are cheap yes, but

My impression after many years of working with JSF: PrimeFaces or not, it's a lot of server-side state making it hard to work on the front-end and an unnecessary burden on the server. I have also some nice things to say, and I'm n

I did write a lot of Java but never called myself a Java developer, and in my current company there are a lot of hardcore Java devs who used to swear by the Spring stack (some even liked JSF!), and a lot of them are moving things to Quarkus
