Romania has better and cheaper internet because of the wild Wild West when everybody and every firm were allowed to pull cables anywhere they pleased. People would buy a 100-200mbit b2b connection for 40 euros and would split it between 15-

Work number and personal number on the same device. I’ve friends that switched their number completely to their work number because of the lack of dual sim phones back in the day. That is just a poor decision all around. I know someone who

That’s my experience also, except the ones from the UK and especially the ones from the UK hiring for clients outside said UK, like Germany. Now the experiences I had with _those_ people would make a used car salesman blush

My wife used to have one of those. The amount of times she called me to read a password from the notebook because she forgot it at home is… well… quite staggering

That is just another symptom of the problem I would say. Although it does happen, there are other mechanisms in place to protect you from fraud, which discourage fraud in the first place. I’ve been paying with debit cards for more than 15 y

would people have any tax advantage for commuting this long? For example, in Germany, you would be able to claim about 30 cents per kilometer (one way) for your commute on your tax return. Otherwise, is the salary gap so big that people wou

Romania implements a similar system as described in the article for appointments outside of the country (for example in consulates or embassies). Scalpers book the appointments en-masse and then sell them for 50-200 euros. There, you can bo

This reminds of the artists from 1500s that would do paintings of exotic animals for courts and other rich people, but without ever seeing the actual animal and they would draw them from descriptions.

Appreciate the sentiment but, checking the career page, man does this place sound cultish as hell

Good advice about attending conferences. At the last Java conference I went to, most large and good employers had booths trying to catch people. It’s a perfect “demand meets supply” situation

This is addressed quite extensively in the article, and the symptoms described are natural symptoms of diabetes. Since this was a diabetes only drug up until recently, it might explain why this didn’t end up on the drug’s sheet, even though

This is also a cultural thing. I come from Romania, where it is (was before the pandemic?) very uncommon for people to work part time. The expectation when having children was to have the grandparents take care of them during the week unti

This proves my point from the last paragraph. I’ve also found this solution in the past, but it is too complex for me. Just to define a page, I would write an SPI, do a config in the admin panel and the corresponding documentation I would n

We use Keycloak _a lot_ at work, with many public and private instances. It is an amazing product and I keep discovering features every day. But as I somehow ended up being the de-facto responsible person for all things related frontend, I

Yes, but factor interest rates in. Refinancing 70k at 5% is worse than having 100k at 1%. So although it may be doable, I don’t imagine seeing this in practice

I'll be using Teddit until they decide to cut RSS feeds too and then maybe I'll be able to cut out this black hole from my life. It's eaten so many hours of my life...

that wouldn't have been worth it in this case either. You spent anywhere between 0 and 150 Euros on collateral, and there are countless hours spent first convincing the insurance that you have a relevant case, then talking to a lawyer

I don't understand Siemens as a company, to be honest. We wanted to buy an expensive piece of software from them and they delivered it with all essential libraries at versions from 2014. We asked them to update the libraries, they spen

That is an almost accurate interpretation. They knew for sure the state of things and were not surprised by the missing documents - this was proven during the pre-trial. I can only speculate as to why they did it, but I am pretty sure that

I was a litle vague on purpose, but this was some time ago, so I can provide some other details I think. Please note that the case presenteted to the judge was about 40 pages long, this is just a very condensed version. They needed a total

This reads like the court had very little understanding of what was actually requested and discussed. Also on how technology works in general.
