Your country's solution to keeping people at home is to pay them so bad they can't afford to leave? Sorry but that really doesn't sound good.

Yeah but then I want to move to the US or Switzerland or Germany and the US$66k is suddenly a lot less? I have no idea why a skilled senior SWE contractor would go into that kind of deal, the market is much hotter than that, $66k is entry l

I think the point is more that having the degree doesn't guarantee anything, and that not having a degree is not a barrier. You still have to do an interview with the candidate, and there will be many self-taught devs who will be much

I used to chat on IRC between 2005 to 2014. We tried to switch to Jabber several times but it was simply too much work (we had elaborate mIRC bots, for example) and it simply wasn't as good - bloaty clients (this was in times when we h

Webpack... Ironic, isn't it? If you want just scrambled identifiers and minification but to keep it in separate modules (which makes it somewhat easier for the user to understand your source), then use what Webpack uses under the hood

It wasn't all fine and dandy here too, but at least buildings and land were mostly returned (corporations were mostly robbed by the communists so there wasn't much to return). Has Polish land not been returned at all to the rightf

Didn't Poland have a privatization post-revolution like Czechia had? Here, we returned most of what was stolen to the ancestors of the original owners.

Why would you accept a job that pays only US$66k if the value of your work is US$100k? Here (central Europe) it's common practice to count your money in EUR or USD even though we're paid in the local currency - especially if the l

The meaning is that you can learn to do the job without needing the piece of paper and the loss of sanity and time that goes along with it. There isn't a field where it applies more than in programming.

A nice senior engineer contract pays around $100k over here.

The government office responsible for education based on feedback from schools, whose administrators read articles similar to this one (some points from these other well-known articles were recited word by word, basically).

Yeah but this is resolved with installing a Pi-hole or Ublock into browser; yes, teens can do that and those who care about privacy do it. The rest has already spewed their data all around the internet anyways. Why care about protecting the

Well, my school is the kind of school where a child recorded a teacher abusing another child and the solution was to ban mobile phones... And when a child (unsuccessfully) knifed a teacher, all the other teachers went and started telling ev

There are cameras with facial recognition at the school I went to. I'd much rather supply a semi-fake photo (so the teachers don't bitch about me not having a face there) to Google than step anywhere near that building ever again.

Still much better than being locked up in a prison. There's absolutely no privacy at all at the school building.

This was already debunked months ago. SpaceX donated a big chunk of cash in shipping costs + a good amount of costly hardware, and they hardened the security of the whole system and countered Russian interference within days. Yeah the state

Well that comment claimed you don't even need to develop anything... This one at least recognizes there's work to be done. :-D

Post the error message, it's hard to say anything without it. I use Nix On Droid on my phone and Node.js works well on it. I use it with Coder-server and access VSCode via browser.

Don't talk about open source if you don't understand it. Paid binaries are the oldest form of OSS monetization. Is the source open and with a OSS-compatible licence? Then it's open source, not freeware nor shareware. Red Hat

So you think Zensursula is pushing surveillance state only so she can then buy surveillance products of US tech companies because ... what? Money going to her pocket? I think that's much more of a conspiracy theory than the notion that

Make a free Gitlab account and try out their Web IDE as it is now, and then compare it to Gitpod or just run Coder-server on your machine. It's a humongous change. The current Web IDE is not an IDE at all - VSCode is.

What does it matter if you pay for it?

Well then self-hosted Gitlab is the perfect option.

Actually Germans say that a lot and try to enforce it through the EU. They never found support for a complete ban but they're thwarting progress as much as they can. And then you have the Austrians who try to cancel our nuclear power p
