While I agree that Europe needs its own companies I don't think turning allies into enemies is a good idea.

Who is talking about the internet?

Also Poland is probably the last country that would have an internet conflict in the next decades.

A scenario? Look at how are things.

- Economy is not getting better for everybody. Affordable housing doesn't exist anymore. Owning a car is becoming more and more expensive due the price increases and taxes while also paying other taxes to subsidy rich people buying expensive EV.

- Public services like healthcare are becoming a nightmare everywhere in Europe. COVID changed everything. If you are sick you better have a private insurance or you'll have to wait months for anything. I had to wait 8 months for a 5 min call to tell me the result of some tests. Thankfully it doesn't look like anything serious but that's not the case for everybody.

- Other services are worse. Having to pay money to do some paperwork reminds me of the corruption in Eastern Europe after the fall of the communism.

- We're already exporting terrorist to fight in foreign countries

- You can see even in HN people talking about moving cities because they are unsafe

- Russia is at war with us, fighting the long war, waiting for any chance to destabilize us. Meanwhile a huge part of the US population supports Russia and wants nothing to do with the EU.

- Dumb policies that come from the EU that restrict speech, therefore freedom, only to keep some bureaucrats happy.

- More friction in politics than ever. The era of respectful debate and sharing of ideas is over. Now you have to be incendiary, be trending topic on twitter, point at your enemy (not rival anymore), threaten them and create more friction than ever.

Now, all this is only getting worse. There's no will to improve things because there's no acceptance of a problem. You say immigration must be regulated, you're a fascist. You say big corporations shouldn't be able to do certain things, you're a communist. We only scream at each other while things get worse. We're going at full speed with no brakes.

I think there's a bigger chance of a conflict in Europe than in the US. We only need a country to fuck up and drag everybody else.

I don't think he's wrong, to be honest.

And, sadly, I know many people that think the same. Maybe not a civil war per se but we're heading towards many internal conflicts. And the more we wait to solve things, the worse it'll be.

He's talking about the programming language haha

It looks fancy but after using it for a while I can't really see what are the benefits of using it over something like tmux which is battle tested, fast, robust available everywhere, etc.

I guess the equivalent would be Laravel Nova.

Thank you, mister, but I mean from a techy point of view.

I usually hear this question the other way around but there it goes.

Why should someone consider Django instead of something like Symfony or Laravel?

Processing or ingesting? We're being bombarded with information and we're not capable of digesting it all.

Same with goes with communication. We're probably thousands of km away from each other and we can communicate but we can't bond, that why people are more lonely than ever.

You're right but there's also a survival bias there. I've risked before and it went well but now I don't see it clearly at all.

Not as good as it used to be. I'm a backend developer with around 8 years of experience.

I actually received 2 offers today, the first two in like a month. One is not for me, and I don't think I'm ready for the other one. I'm having a big imposter syndrome lately. I guess I need some time to learn more stuff and collect my thoughts.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Minecraft, WoW. In that order.

That's a good question.

I once had my payment flagged as fraudulent because the card owner was not the same as the shop account owner.

My bank decided it was a good idea to block my card without telling me anything. I realized a couple days after when I couldn't pay my groceries.

I wasn't going to comment because I thought it was only me but yes. I heard the fans and then it crashed.

Thankfully I wasn't doing anything important...

I'm not going to defend them over this but I'm 100% sure that they wanted to be as successful (or more) than Zuckerberg.

In my family it's the white wine that gives us headaches. Half a glass is more than enough for me. On the other hand, I can drink red wine until I die of alcohol poisoning without getting a headache.

Right.

It is a masterpiece. I've played many games but RDR2 is on another level. It's like taking control of a character in a book and take him until the last page.

It's there. There are 3 posts (not tweets anymore) and then there's that one.

Red Dead Redemption 2

My apologies, won't blink again.

I blinked and the first stage disappeared.

Well, this is the salary in many European countries. Spain is the 15th economy in the world and these are the salaries.

But the US is not the only first world country.

I live in one and my salary is a little less than 30k and I'm not a junior. My junior colleagues are at around 20k, so for them it's actually 10%.

I think that too.

I watched today a couple hours of Youtube videos. How many bots are needed to match that much traffic?

if we're talking about requests it makes sense. I just have to open my apache/nginx logs to see how many bots are attempting to get in.

I get your point but I think this is an AMD problem.

Their can't keep up with the demand on the laptop market. How old are their Zen 4 processors? There are barely laptops with them. We had to wait months for a real use benchmark because it was impossible to get them.

Right now if I see and AMD GPU I wouldn't even know if it's new gen or from 3 years ago.

They are not on the market mobile market.

And in some first world countries that still means the 10% of your annual income.

There are basically no laptops with AMD GPUs. Why? I don't know. I think in the last months I've only seen one and I don't remember it as a laptop someone would buy.

Having played a lot of games, if that was the case, it would be vox populi. In all gaming communities there are very smart people and if the damage output is important, they'll have it traced, if loot if important, it'll be traced too.

It's like that because if I had pay to watch Youtube I wouldn't. I'd watch what I want on other platforms even if I had to pay.

Google is already making a lot of money from me and it doesn't stop there. They spy on me. They process every bit of data they can find of me even if I don't want to and I don't see a cent.
