Yes and no. German companies are outsourcing like crazy, but they have the whole central/eastern european countries as outsourcing destinations. Low wages, high level of education, short distances, EU membership make them really attrac

There's also one glaring error in the text that can only be explained by hindsight wisdom: >The Single Market launched just four months later, in January 1993, though something like it had been in the works for a while. But on that

It's a language feature, so esp. library developers would pick it up over Lombok to reduce their dependency graph. That said, I also like Lombok's annotation style more, I can pick & filter which members are relevant for `toSt

I don't care a lot about the graveyard of abandoned projects I have created - I love the the dopamine release of starting the next world-domination project. But I also contribute to existing open-source projects, and that is code that

Participating in an existing open-source project can help, as you can contribute as long as you are into it and simply drop out once you stop caring. Your contribution will live on regardless and you can at least show some pull requests and

You aren't alone in this. The Node/NPM/JS scene is churning out code and innovations like there's no tomorrow, that's something to admire. What I feel they are missing is a community process to consolidate things. Y

It doesn't matter so much, as Java is backwards-compatible to stone age. If the company has finally settled on a backlog, they can start with whatever LTS version is the most recent one. It's only a drawback for hired hands that m

Yeah, lots of pines are brown in southern German woods, and even beech trees are affected (they have deeper roots). I haven't seen something like this.

That startup won't have the couple hundred millions needed to get the compound through clinical in the first place. So, what they do is they team up with "Big Pharma" (I hate that dog whistle) and get royalties. For the pharm

Unfortunately, at least in poorer countries, people will simply disregard the license. Indian/Chinese/Russian pharma companies are quite good at synthesizing patented compounds (after all, the relevant information is in the patent

I'll never understand the infatuation with mechanical kb's. I am old enough to be trained on them, but the low-travel scissor types are so much nicer to type and don't give you RSI.
