niq999··on Tech compensation in 2021
I'm in Russia and I make just $5000/year as a full-stack web dev (4+ years). I threatened to leave, and they found 10 more people who work for even less. I tried to get hired outside of my country, but no one bothers to respond.
niq999··on Vivaldi 4.0
Using Vivaldi as my main browser since a few months ago. Tab grouping and tiling is great. The side panel is neat for checking on Skype without installing the app.

I didn't experience any slowdown, but not being able to drag and drop files from downloads is a pain in the ass. It's been brought up on the forums and left at that years ago.

niq999··on Trump administration goes ahead with rule to scrap visa lottery
For the record, I make $300/month as a hired software engineer here in Russia. I would prefer slightly better conditions, than no such opportunity at all.
niq999··on Japan and South Korea see surge of suicides among young women
As someone suicidal myself, for sure. Otherwise you're a part of the problem.
niq999··on Using const/let instead of var can make JavaScript code run 10× slower in Webkit
I still have a silly dream that one day Javascript will split the numeric type into 32-bit floats and ints by default, like Ruby does. I wonder how much of the existing ecosystem that would break.
