I agree with you about food and quality of life.

Not so sure about the tax rates. Are you sure that 22% is all you pay? I'd be very surprised if this is with the Greek tax system.

Disclaimer: I'm from Chania and live in London the last 5 years and considering the possibility of working remotely.

As much as I want a single government without wars and nations, I believe that you are unfortunately right. A single entity is much easier to be corrupted and suppress humans. Perhaps there is still a way. I think EU is a good example. It has its problems but I can’t imagine Europe without it.

Abortion should be a human right. All countries that don’t respect that should pay huge fines. Thanks for giving that example.

That animation stole my heart

I'm already paying for sublime text and a few other developer tools and I wouldn't mind paying for a tool that helps me pay my bills.

Also I like that some of these products have a free version that makes it accessible to people coming from a poor economic background. Everyone deserves an equal opportunity in my opinion.

Now my problem about big tech corps is that they are huge bullies. I want my freedom back. Freedom of not being locked in an ecosystem. Freedom to choose my tools. Freedom of not being tracked. Freedom of everyone to be in the market without being copied, acquired or overshadowed by huge companies that buy/clone/replace any product or tool with their "free of charge" poison. Freedom to stay away of "growth and engagement" bs products.

Think of the following. How viable is to live without GMAIL nowdays? Do we want vscode to become the GMAIL of code?

Office sucks. Let me list a few things: - Hot desks - People laughing and constantly talking while you are trying to focus - Unstable temperature making you freeze or boil - Uncomfortable and unhealthy desks/chairs - Often lack of proper screens/equipment - Getting squeezed in trains to commute - spending at best an extra hour per day - Unhealthy and expensive dietary options around work - Contamination of diseases - Useless meetings and team activities that usually produce zero value

Not to mention how bad this is for the environment. And no, a ping-pong or foosball table doesn't make the office cool. It's like adding chocolate syrup on a rotten fruit to make it edible.

We gave these mofos an ecosytem because they were hiding behind the label of "free and open source software". Now they can screw anyone and not even answer to emails. They are nothing but crooks.

All software giants hold too much power in their hands and nobody can touch them. What can you do? They have at least 50% of the market.

I will still use strong open source encryption. I don't give a crap about laws other than the laws of physics. For me, I don't need a law to tell me how to be a good and ethical person. I know it already.

Mate, you could easily ask for 80k+ per anum. As a contractor you could easily get 500+ per day.

So much for the c shell...

I've heard he's now building an app with similar philosophy about food.

Why not use React Native which utilises a more commonly adopted language than Dart?

Sublime may lack the feature richness of VSC and while I switched to the second a while ago for my day to day coding needs, it's still my editor of choice when I need to edit huge files or paste content coming from a website and I always have a sublime window open just in case I need to quickly type something.

They cannot ban open source code being out there. They can always put any restrictions and we can always override them. What will they do? Sue us? They are welcome. There is no way a non technical person to assess technical matters. Laws that do not represent society's will, are bound to be broken, and politicians cannot do anything about that.

Airliners suck big time. I'm looking forward for a modern, honest, client-friendly airliner that will force everyone else out of business.

And guys, please. The economy is not all those people who lost their job. I don't think any country's government cares about them. Market changes are here to stay. This is not going to be reversed. We aren't going back to "normal" after covid.

I don't belong to a high risk group so I don't think I need it for now. There are priorities. Also I'm not risking my otherwise good health with a beta vaccine to prevent the low risk of dying from COVID.

I totally trust science but not companies and governments that are in a mission to save "The Economy" and their fat-arsed pockets.

I'm not saying that a company shouldn't care about making profits. But let's not forget some pharma companies' scandals from the past. Would you rush to consume some magical piping hot medicine/vaccine someone made? Is it ready yet? Is it tested enough? Is it safe for everyone?

I got my last few good-paying contracts from LinkedIn, so I can't complain. I've even started paying the premium plan. I know ...privacy and a lot of noise, can't disagree. But that's the price to pay if you want a career. Can't become rich by living an easy and private life.

So long story short, today's internet is all about big corps.

And there are always T&Cs. AKA we didn't like that article on your account, we kill all your services and deactivate your account.

Clean code is not about eliminating repeated code. Clean code is about readability. It's a not a rule. It's a programming philosophy.

People set rules but we should always see the reasoning behind the rules instead of just following them blindly.

Personally every time I refactor some piece of code, I think "Does this make code easier to read and understand? Will this save me and my colleagues time in the future?".

You are right about the time waste. I don't know about aviation in US but my experience in Europe has been the worst.

I believe that business aviation exists mainly because commercial aviation is not trustworthy. You book a flight and most of the times it's late for whatever reason or even canceled. It's also nearly impossible to find alternative flights for the same time if yours is canceled so you have to cancel or delay your business meeting.

Well, I'm on a carb-free diet right now and believe it or not, my food is full of vegetables and greens. The only kinda tasty tofu I had was full of sause (sugars and oils), or fried. I don't think either of them is healthy. My conclusion is that if you want to eat healthy the only option is to cook your own food.

Too bad that vegan food is mostly carbs and tasteless stuff like tofu. There are so many tasty and healthy vegetables and great veggie recipes but you have to cook at home because you can't find them outside.

I simply cannot believe that food is affecting environment more than factories, vehicles and rubbish.

Hmm based on this, the .org tld and the server providers can have control over the project too. Right? If so, we should use an open source distributed protocol.

Read the patent. => Find where he lives. => Order a chainsaw. :p

Now seriously. Sew them. Hunt them down legally and shame them online for the rest of their life.

Dear meteors, please hit the earth soon! I cannot stand humanity anymore.
