Getting a mortgage in the Netherlands doesn't require a down-payment. And yes, we should be taxing wealth. Again, the taxation only applies on any amount above 60K, so if you have 61K you pay 1.44% over €1000 (approx. €14).

This is a common thing I see when developers that come from an OOP enterprise environment familiar with Java, C#, etc. do JavaScript, they try to use all the same patterns, default to classes for everything. It just doesn't fit the lan

Yes, this is it. The Rust code would be in an entirely different part of the project, not touching any of his code, only providing an abstraction for the Rust code to interact with it. The only thing the Rust team asked is to be notified of

Poland really is a great example of a modern EU state that has flourished, I am so proud of them, they deserve it.

Sounds a bit like a Stockholm syndrome argument to be honest. There is nothing wrong with moving somewhere else because it aligns with your ideals and needs.

The new limit before being taxed is around 60K (€59.357), any amount on top of that is taxed (1.44%), so it is not like you are getting robbed blind. It is only fair that those that have a lot of money contribute so that others can particip

It is. Unfortunately, the most of the EU is affected by the housing crisis.

Money. You get paid much better in the US, you just have to accept the physical and mental implications of what it brings with it.

Not really. The drivers are not upstream, so it only works well on specially made Ubuntu spins that carry out of tree patches and random binary blobs. It is really still quite a mess at the moment.

I have lived in both as well, and I feel the complete opposite.

I always have a laugh when I see Copenhagen brag about its cycling infrastructure (e.g. Scandinavian Airlines declaring it bike-mecca in their flyers). I am very sorry, but it really doesn't come even close to Amsterdam, or most other

This legislation is not proposed by members of parliament, only the commission can draft legislation, the parliament can only approve it.

It is good to stress this, most people don't know how the EU works, Europeans included.

What kind of business are you in that you need to be able to support these platforms that have been end-of-life for quite some time? Genuine question.

It doesn't need IP, it is already THE marketplace for PC gaming. People will get a box like this to play the library they already own, or get great deals on new games.

This article is extremely derogatory. Firstly, the author dismisses anyone who argues for nuclear energy as “a mentally ill person who hates renewables”, and declares that nuclear energy doesn’t work because it “cannot compete with renewabl

Ah, yes! The universal and uncheatable LLM! Surely nothing can go wrong.

Yes, the backend-for-frontend (BFF) architecture is an excellent fit for this purpose.

Just use a generic data structure for your validation rules that you can apply on the front-end, and validate on the back-end. Using JavaScript and doing validation on a server are not mutually exclusive.

There absolutely is, this is just extra cruft you need to maintain, and who says that the HTML is universal enough to be used everywhere? This is exactly where a front-end or a backend-for-frontend (BFF) makes sense.

by jonkoops 1y ago
These 'just use HTML' shitposts really miss the mark. Every time I see this stuff it is a form with two fields, come on. Realistically, a lot of applications are forms, but they are much more complex. E.g. fields that can be added

That can be integrated with Playwright, or did you mean to say it is already used under the hood for their reports?

I have converted several large E2E test suites from Cypress to Playwright, and I can vouch that it is the better option. Cypress seems to work well at first, but it is extremely legacy heavy, its API is convoluted and unintuitive, and stack

I have to be honest that I don't really understand the appeal of Ladybird from a purely technical perspective. It is written in C++, just like all the existing engines (yes there is some Swift, but it is negligible), so what benefit do

The API is broken by design, even before Musk took over they slowly crippled it so you would only use official Twitter apps.
