Do you have any advice on how to accomplish changing one's accent? Would you recommend seeking professional help or are there existing self-help routines? (Sorry for going off the main topic, but I am moving to the UK soon, so this sort of skills seems both fun and potentially valuable to practice.)

Perhaps, but hiring skilled researchers who do not think they need to say whatever they want is probably not as hard.

Importantly, Google offers great work conditions, access to their intellectual property and different evaluation criteria. Many prefer that and other benefits over the stresses of a proper academic career.

> Is learning modern C++ worth the effort in 2021?

(Hopping onto this topic,) I wonder, what are the right resources for properly diving into the modern C++? Are there books that are up to date? Tutorials? What has worked for HNs the best?

I am curious, what other British newspapers would you recommend for seeing a different perspective at Brexit?

> As if the problem of moving in a new nation is the strictly bureaucratic one and not the cultural one.

Could it be that you are underestimating the importance of (not dealing with) bureaucracy? It determines if you need to collect lots of documents like criminal-records certificates in each country you've lived in, to verify your degree abroad, to do a bunch of medical tests in approved institutions.

It determines what legal restrictions you need to deal with if you change jobs while your work-permit card has the name of your employer on it.

Many opportunities simply won't happen for a person separated from them with a bureaucratic boundary.

> Using в quickly became standard in Ukraine, and the choice of в versus на became a sort of liguistic tell to a Russian-speaker's political and cultural tendencies.

Doesn't seem THAT telling to me. Saying "на Україні" is very common in the Ukrainian language, and lots of Ukrainians use bits of Ukrainian while speaking Russian. I wouldn't be shocked to hear "на Украине" from a Ukrainian, and I most definitely wouldn't make assumptions about political tendencies based on it.

Could you give an example of a kind of race conditions allowed in Rust?

(Sorry for a naive question, just thought that a data race and a race condition are synonyms. What else is there to race over if not shared data?)
