Please get educated about how law works so you dont feel compelled to comment on things you obviously are not familiar with.

There is a reason why we just dont say “life in prison”.

It's not about hype but companies using more recent languages to solve the same problem. Why did not Twitch pick Crystal or Rust or Scala or JRuby ?

The view is US centric but how many completely new subways did Europe build ? And how long did it take ? You cant retrofit subways to existing cities and the only country that does not care about spending billions and human lives is China.

Open Source is the worst thing that can happen to the US tech in US vs China trade war. Chinese scene is largely isolated from OSS in the west and more often than not they are just leeching whatever the rest of the world produces in terms of software.

I dont want to picture chinese people as parasites I want to just point out that the contribution from chinese devs and mainly their tech companies could be better.

I dont see the reason why sw should be open source.

My company is actually great. Lots of money, job security and no long working hours. I just dont want to work anymore.

I am wondering if all of the people commenting here about HK and SG have any idea about both of those cities.

They are competitors but not really competitors.

You go to HK when you want to be in China but not really. You go to SG when you want to deal with China but not really.

Israeli startups are always over confident about everything. They have a track record of delivering but also making bogus claims like this.

Everything that makes Hong Kong unique will be erased and whole of Hong Kong will be crushed and incorporated in the CCP into greater bay area.

100b is a gdp of my country...

They require joint ventures and China does indeed ban foreign companies based on arbitrary rules.

Oh wow so should be food, fuel and other stuff. Then we can call it a day and start a WW3.

We are at peace because we depend on each other.

Czech made what ? I did not see anything mentioning czech made.

...and will have worse results because of jit not having enough time to kick in.

In all of those benchmarks ruby runs with —jit

Faster based on what benchmark?

I guess use Rails or Django would be the answer.

This talks about other asian countries that dont use chinese alternatives.

So Chinese companies wont be selling anything to the rest of the world.

We already know that they are capable of building their own designs or software. The thing is NOBODY will ever use it outside of China.

The whole point of this situation is to force China to open more their market so we can at least pretend we have a fair trading environment.

To me this sounds like a pointless article. If you have a high margin/high profit company with minimum employees you can pay whatever money you want to pay.

Is DHH just saying they could pay less to earn more and they are just generous ?

Minimum wage especially with distributed teams is really a pointless metric.

The same way Google can pay top dollar and above average for all employees is not the same for most of the companies.

I am not saying the companies struggle.. I am saying companies are competitive entities fighting against other competitive entities like google.

Google extracts the vast majority of the wealth from the world that could have gone to small / medium sized businesses and so does any other highly profitable company.

How come it's so easy for koreans to go to the US ?

EU healthcare is good when you are average joe, poor or just mediocre.

You earn €60k/pa and you pay shitloads of taxes on that income just to live in some shit suburb because you cant afford anything anyway and there is no way to get beyond that income.

FAANG jobs are more or less corporate jobs deluxe unless you are going to work in some r&d team doing interesting stuff.

Evaluate following:

Does money matter to you ? If so go with FB. Does stability matter to you ? Go for FB.

The thing is if you go with FB you will become much more risk averse thanks to the lifestyle it is going to provide for you. Steady stream of $ and a relative stability will make you too comfortable.

Although money never hurts.

Honestly everyone should just use sciter and support Andrew.

No you should not. Can you please stop advocating for something that cannot be comparable to your specific case in Australia ? Do you know the costs of the real medicine and procedures that you mgiht never ever experience but they are still there ?

Seriously if this is what a rural school looks like South Korea should consider taking in some immigrants from SEA countries.

I am not saying they have to take in immigrants but it's clear they need children and the children need a stable, safe and clean environment.

The problem with this is the savings are usually negligible compared to spendings of higher management.

I think it utterly destroys the image of the company if it cannot act "humane".

It's fine to keep costs under control ..but..if you are then organizing super expensive meetings across the world it just looks bad.

Would not consider buying from manning again. The books are unreadable on kindle and they made no effort to correct it.

Can you comment something about the possibility of Ruby getting faster because of Sorbet ? Can it be combined with DragonRuby or other compilers that would produce more optimized Ruby programs?

Yes and no. You need to basically fork the compiler and invent a new type of ruby that sacrifices certain things in favor of performance.
