mathverse··on Norway Joins Denmark in Swedish Tesla Strike/Blockade
EE has strong labor regulations but workers are easily divided by people who know how to play the game.

The problem in EE is not the laws it's the local psyche.

mathverse··on Norway Joins Denmark in Swedish Tesla Strike/Blockade
It's a chicken and egg problem. EE never had its technocrats like Taiwan or South Korea but a bunch of populist thieves with lack of vision.

EE is full of entitled elderly pensioners that control the narrative and are only interested in returning to the "good old times of communism" in one way or another.

Prosperity requires stepping out of your comfort zone and implement ideas that bring competitive advantage over your neighbors. These kind of ideas are lumped in the same category like LGBT rights, climate etc etc.

Would not happen. Musk should have established the factory in EE where the local labor would bend over to him.
mathverse··on Telegram now has a recommendation system
I disagree. Telegram is wonky and filled with bugs and weird UX decisions. It's a prime example of a platform that is just "good enough" but has no polish and added value.
mathverse··on Shopify Ruby on Rails distributed monolith runs 19M queries per second on MySQL
Infrastructure is cheap. Labor is expensive.
mathverse··on VectorDB: Vector Database Built by Kagi Search
They use it for search afaik.

Wonder why Crystal was not used.
mathverse··on Botlib: C Telegram bot framework
I am gonna try to generate Nim for this with https://github.com/nimterop/nimterop.
mathverse··on Developers are not happy with .NET MAUI, but nobody in the team cares about it
This. I believe OneDrive on macOS uses QT.
mathverse··on Almost half of Californians speak a non-English language at home
Mostly practical. The math coupled with visa requirements just does not add up.

From an outsider's perspective born and raised in Europe this seems pretty cool but I cant imagine how can I immigrate to the US.
mathverse··on Cosmopolitan v3.1
Sounds like a perfect use case for multiplatform Mirai, single binary.
mathverse··on Terraform Cloud Pricing Changes Sticker Shock
I think Terraform Cloud (and most Hashi's enterprise offerings) aim at absolutel behemoths of deployments with many, many infra teams where the complexity comes from scale and the companies are not Google or Facebook and therefore this problem can't be solved through talent. For many such enterprises it's easier to throw money at the problem.
mathverse··on Amazon is blocking promotions of employees who don't comply with RTO policy
I dont fucking get this RTO. I am working from home and working more than I should because I feel obliged to deliver and show visibility. Companies get more from us employees working fully remote.

Saying that as I just finished 3h of unpaid work. I really dont get this.

(am an EU employee)

mathverse··on .NET 8
It's absolutely weird because that ship has sailed. The paradigm is to hook you into the platform which you can't do if you are hostile.
mathverse··on .NET 8
Microsoft seems weird tho. They dont really support any recommended way to do .NET on Mac and you have to rely on Rider or half ass VS Code experience.
mathverse··on .NET 8
There is not and wont be. MS will commoditize apps to bake as many features as possible as fast enough as possible using some bastardized Electron crap.
mathverse··on Porsche Open Source Platform
As if the only important metric was to speak german.
mathverse··on Porsche Open Source Platform
It took german automakers a decade to be international and they still hire just "german" speakers to some teams. Hard pass.

Never said he borrowed on a single income. My friend works at Visma as SWE. BTW 20% downpayment is the usual deal in most of the EU countries and it does not have to do anything with one being foreigner or not.

I find your remarks incredibly entitled and shortsighted most like coming from the need to defend your home country.

mathverse··on Spain lives in flats: why we have built our cities vertically
I always feel bad not replying or replying with a short sentence to such long comment.

Anyway I have never lived in NA and while I understand your concerns I dont think they are valid.

I am not a cattle that you need to optimize.

In Europe we subsidize many, many things and I dont see a reason why living like a human should not be one of them.

You probably dont pay mortgage then or have built some wealth. My friend is 2-3y in Denmark paying 500k mortgage on 100k income and life is very expensive and definitely not pleasant there.

Condos are absolutely atrocious, inhuman way of living. If I could I would move to a villa or a suburb house.

When was that? Life was much cheaper back then. My experience is from 2022 onwards.

I dont see those values and benefits being any different than rest of the Western Europe.
mathverse··on Developers Guide to Moving to Denmark
If you compare it to Asia or NA people usually eat out because it's a lot of fun and you can try variety of foods. DK forces you to stay at home and cook because it's just too expensive to do it every day.

Even in Singapore I can eat out every day and dont really feel it.

I have a friend living in CPH on 100k/pa income and he is living a very modest life.

Unless you have a family with kids there is no point in going to DK. Your quality of life will be significantly worse.

If you insist on going to Western Europe then Germany, Austria or NL are much better places to be.

mathverse··on Ask HN: What makes SRE great compared to "plain" DevOps?
Biggest load of horsecrap I have seen on this website. Complexity ballooned into unimaginable proportions. Observability is crucial for complex software.

What laptop would you recommend as a substitute for mbp then?

It's a price for a one of a kind portable device. I used to think like you but then I realized Ill be better of just accepting the price or suffering with an inferior windows device.
