Where in South Africa? I would guess that along the coast the weather is never extreme enough for this to matter all that much?

Yeah, but you can't just refer to people as "Das", it would be like referring to them as "it" in English (i.e. it sounds like you're talking about an object rather than a person).

No it's not. People adapt to the host country and become people of that country. My kids were both born in Germany and are "German" in every way, even though both me and my wife are immigrants. Doing it gradually allows immig

I don't want to amplify stereotypes, but I can't help but notice there's a correlation between the candidate being in India or Pakistan (for a remote job) and not being able to program.

Right, but the wholesale massive move of the entire industry to subscription services (offering access to X games for a fixed monthly cost) is happening in movies a few years before games. What you're talking about are single games off

In some way this seems like a message from the future of the games industry (with Netflix, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc pushing their game subscription services but a few years behind TV streaming)… So far I was surprised by how much Amazo

Right, if either the employer or employee at the end of the day don't think it's a good fit after having given/received an offer it's still less painful to reciend it than to hire the person and then fire them some month

Nokia made smartphones very early actually (in the 90s), but they were just not very good at it.

486DLC/SLC were not really "crippled versions", they were completely different CPU designs that used the 486 name as Intel wasn't able to stop other companies from using a number (one of the reasons for naming the next c

The games that don't work in some way or form 20 years after creation are in minority due to effort of community. I dunno what author is smoking. I would say what you're seeing is biased towards popular games - ther

Unless you’re invited to someone’s home to celebrate together you wouldn’t buy random friends a Christmas present. If you’re celebrating together (or if you’re relatively close family) you would buy 1 present and sometimes this would be som

I don't doubt you but I just wanted to chime in with another point of anecdata that I have a family of 4 (2 kids) & we live perfectly fine in a 92m^2 (just under 1000 sq feet) apartment in Berlin. It would have been nice to have mo

I've been living in Berlin for 9 years and still can't bring myself to try raw pork. We've lived in Austria before that and they don't eat raw pork either (at least neither me nor my native-born Austrian wife ever had an

Perhaps improvement in the quality of life (=wealth) of the population as well as population increase? The world is incredibly richer today than in 1992 (particularly Asia, which accounts for about 60% of the world's population).

How old are you? If you're young (teen/early 20s) the traditional answer is to attend a decent public university and get a CS degree. If you're already an ok programmer you should find it relatively easy (the math parts are m

We've lived in Germany for 9 years (and Austria before that, which is culturally and economically very similar) and I've not encountered that supposed widespread threat of being replaced with cheap foreign labor.

Do you have 6 year old in Germany today or are you talking about your own childhood? My 6 year old went to school on his own a few times and he was the only kid in his class to do so. He now no longer does as the teacher scared my wife into

A lot of the Ruhrpott[0] resembles that example and is considered a kinda shitty place to live in by a lot of Germans. A friend of mine who came here (Berlin) from there summed it up as “you spend a lot of time in your car”. [0] https:&#
