> In most places in Europe, even $100k is considered a high salary

I think it's worth adding here that US developers can have a much higher burden for things like health insurance. My child broke his arm this year, and we hit our very high deductible.

I would like to see numbers factoring in things like public transportation, health insurance, etc., because I personally feel like EU vs US developers are a lot closer in quality of life after all the deductions.

The problem is that we typically can’t install software. Also subverting the corporate firewall can result in a rapid loss of income.

I’m past the edit time, but “unless” should be “and”

95% of corporate environments: 1-2 options. Windows or macOS for the chosen few.

At least the overloads I have worked for don’t allow us access unless the machine is locked down so hard that it’s borderline unusable.

That must have been a lot of pressure! There are videos floating around I have seen of running a train engine into them at full speed.

I never really bought this tbh. Those transportation casks are insanely strong!

Yeah, I guess that’s a large part of what I meant.

It’s a space where you can’t cut corners.

It may be slightly different that other forms of energy, because a large part of nuclear’s cost is regulatory compliance and political buy-in.

It’s not quite that simple, though. Yucca Mountain was supposed to be extremely geologically stable, and people still couldn’t swallow that pill.

You still need some level of containment along with environmental studies and the additional complexity of excavating a large underground cavern. Even then, someone will be concerned (possibly rightfully so) about groundwater contamination. Fracking is a prime example of how connected that all can be.

As a rider, I also just find it more convenient to buy tickets in an app.

I can link my payment method, and purchase tickets in seconds whenever I’m ready.

The answer is “it depends,” but personally I like ktor/micronaut better or golang’s stdlib. I do a lot of REST work right now, and I try to keep my services small.

> Spring is a battle tested, robust, optimized framework, that has scaled the largest brands in the world. It is literally what fortune five hundred companies trust their fortunes with. Spring is far from being outdated or inefficient, and will likely continue to dominate the market for years if not decades to come.

I spit my coffee out on part of this one!

I’ve been a Spring developer for the better part of the last 10 years, and it definitely has warts, bugs, undocumented behavior, and plenty of source code diving for half-implemented features.

It does allow corporate middleware to easily be inserted, making management feel better and devs lives’ harder.

Don’t get me wrong, it has a placed in “corporate” development, but there are much more streamlined frameworks out there. In today’s day and age where SDKs are readily available and APIs are mostly sane, I think it has less of a place.

Yep! I understand why people don’t like Musk, but SpaceX is doing some truly amazing work.

Wikipedia lists it as 37 MW, which does seem to be in the same ballpark (my amateur calculations put an F-16 around 44 MW).

Not sure why people are downvoting you, but objectively the Raptor really is a marvel of engineering itself (maybe less than the F-1 that was created with slide rules at the time, but it does seem poised to upend space flight again).

That's fair! I still maintain my point about breakdancing, though :)

Playing devil’s advocate, many of the judging criteria for the sports seem pretty subjective.

For example if diving or gymnastics was purely objective, you wouldn’t need multiple judges (or any). Track and field is a lot more straightforward in most cases.

I would even go as far to say the “criteria” the judges are looking for have some analogous counterparts in poetry.

I think breakdancing was a sport for this Olympics, so poetry doesn’t seem like much of a stretch. Maybe it’s just not “exciting” to modern people?

I found the guy without a toddler.

I airtag everything now. Either the toddler moves it, or I chuck my keys somewhere during a defcon 1 situation. They have been a big help, personally.

That’s true, but knowing it is a simulation would imply we have some greater understanding (or at least point us in the right direction).

If it’s a simulation, there could be more trivial exploits to enable things like a teleporter or matter synthesizer. Finding out the simulation exists is the first step!

I did something similar, but scripted a curl command to update the DNS A/AAAA records that have a short TTL to the hostname.

It’s also trivial if you run your own nsd/bind instance.
