I tried rust again now after a years break. It's really not as hard to understand anymore since you get a lot of help from the compiler. Even useful hints that actually do exactly what you meant to do.

No, I think it's just a different philosophy around what is rich. You can work constantly and have a lot of money, but then you could be very poor in happiness or peace of mind. Most things in life are best when they are balanced.

Ever seen the movie Idiocracy? I feel like society is becoming more and more like that. Laws like these are being passed and people are too numb to care.

I make 3700 dollars per month after Swedish taxes, live in a big house 45 mins from work surrounded by beautiful nature, and pay about 400 dollars every month for the loan on the house. For me, that's a perfect life. More money than I

The rental market has crazy prices. You would be a lot better off to get a loan and buy an apartment in the outskirts of Stockholm. You need 15% cash to get a loan for an apartment, so if you buy a small one for 2 million Swedish SEK, you

American culture seems to be incredibly bad for living a fulfilling life. Intelligent people on hacker news would do good to look at Sweden for a good balance between capitalism and socialism that actually works very well. Of course lately

You can trust Fox News to always sound like a teenager, totally clueless about their own flaws in behavior and blaming other (countries) for the problems. The fact is that all major nations are corrupted and they all are quite evil.

I don't think your solutions will work. It's impossible to get time estimates right for building software. Too many variables in solving the problems, not only in writing code and testing it, but also including open office distur

It's interesting that nobody doubts that these images are real. It's quite off topic for hacker news but I really encourage people to research nasa and the so called space exploration program.

In Sweden at a big company, your day as a programmer usually has a few meetings and a lot of social interaction with colleagues. Maybe you get 3-4 hours of programming every day if you are lucky and can focus in the noisy open office enviro
