I mean we're all at war with the US economically and technologically, no need to be too dramatic. I'll tell you, from a non-US perspective (Im French) it's extremely important we have a balance so that even if the US becomes

Oh crypto you mean ? I resist the call of the incessant exchanges and crypto startups stealing all my colleagues, I must resist even if they pay double arrrgl

I somehow became specialist at that randomly (like you, random troubled project thrown at me at the odd chance I d find someth as a cheap new joiner turned into a lucky break and a predisposition for enjoying hunting these) and I start now

Careful, real time demos have been made before and have turned out to be anything but. I d wait until it s in my hand and I touch the tv trying to open the window for Keanu before I get excited :D

Well it changed the last 7 years. When I arrived, they didnt care and I was surprised they vehemently told me "we're Chinese through and through we just dont like the communists", fast forward 7 years, I m married to a local

As a frontend dev shouldn't you worry about your clients, rather than the boundaries of your organisation ? Harass whomever is putting the log4j dependency in the backend until they patch, don't expect them to know by default.

Work in one of the largest financial org in the world as a Java dev for critical system (albeit not internet facing), learned of this just now on this thread... Edit: upon checking, we're safe, it doesn't impact log4j1, only the s

Cool way to try to classify things and noted that this shouldnt be used as hierarchies. I think we can all agree we all worked in some aspect of these classes, across companies, teams or even over time ! What I have never seen is a fully-co

Then would you say French and Italian are dialects of Latin - clearly derived bastardized version for a Latin person at the time, same writing ? Or would you say French and Italian are dialect of "Westernese", the same imaginary c

I'm in Hong Kong (majority Cantonese), my wife cant for her life help me navigate taobao in Mandarin, even when she transcribes the simplified into traditional without getting annoyed and frustrated. So while it's not totally unin

You miss something, imagine a world where crypto is finally used to pay for services. How do you enforce that when you give an advance to your house builder so that he can start building and contracting out and paying his own people by the

I work in Hong Kong and I dont speak Chinese so I work only in heavily multicultural teams. It's common belief around me the best teams are mono cultures, for instance a philipino team in my prev company, who all moved together to HK w

I like the idea to say we actually help the country rather than are a burden. Plus we're generally less dogmatic, more able to commit little rebellions and care less about the consequence of our naughty behaviour so we may bring someth

Well yeah all the time ! Around me (I know no trans and am not either), nobody seems to care, when I say it's perfectly fine and tolerable people either give 0 fuck or agree. The toilet thing only seems to bother girls, the guys I know

The old projections systems were even made to blow up what you cared about (your country) and be very scale-imprecised on the outskirt.

In France lead paint completely disappeared. But the main driver of criminal behaviour and loss of IQ is lead gasoline you breath all day long anyway and that's nearly gone too. I think Algeria is finally removing it this year, it was

Dude it's like thinking blacks or women should help each other. I was born in Normandy, live in China, and work in a bank. Being a dev is like quite low on what will impact my social behaviour :s And I bet you and me are like aliens on

No inflation is very different, it's pervasive in every direction, it's not localized like your idea would mean. Plus, it's not like galaxies are temporarily pulling on a memory foam, before releasing the pressure, so I m not

What's a financial instrument ? Usually a debt (a stock, a bond) which makes others live. Even to buy a house you need to give money to someone else who uses it for their own retirement or whatbot. If the millionaire receives gold and

Is the F35 the american Maginot line though ? As a French Im keenly aware of over investment in traditional defense when war changes shape. Never trust them to have done their homework, trust your enemy to have done more and alreay made you

Better tip: never send any information or opinion you wouldnt want the public, your parents, your colleagues and the police to associate your name to. I dont get the newish trend online to send BS you're ashamed of.

For the sanguine part it's really more "more sanguine than where I come from". I come from the North of France and have seen some mediterranean populations... Chinese people in HK top them in term of quickness of aggressivity

Reviews are insanely more useful (provided they re genuine) ofc and any online service without review has to be used carefully, you're right !

But I mean, you immediately went to Hitler which is a lazy exit in a discussion and hard for me to defend, but let's try, since I'm French. When Germany had to submit to the Versaille Treaty and pay gold fines every year until 197

I disagree, honestly. Hong Kong is like everywhere and I feel like it's more akin to Italy than Norway here: people are latin or let's say sanguine, the brain concentration is in foreigners who dont care (my child and wife are bor

On top of validation and urgency that are negative, you have also a true sense of popularity that indicates that the product works, has good reputation, fits a common purpose or is priced correctly. Crowd selection isn't negative, in f

This is very likely, and any kind of popularity information helps making decisions. In fact I mostly buy steam games in the popular section to sort out the trash. Each time I choose a niche unfeatured thing it turns out to be random trash n
