There is a high demand for teachers in The Netherlands. This demand mostly exists because the job conditions have gotten a lot worse, while pay has not increased accordingly. But if he has found a good place, is not worked into a burnout, and makes enough money to live happily, then he should have a very stable job.
Maybe there is a boardgame café somewhere inbetween the two of you. Gives you plenty to do, and usually is not very expensive.
Then for food, hit a supermarket and find a park or bench to make a sandwhich or some other food that can be eaten straight from the supermarket packaging. If you are planning PBJs, all you need to bring, is a spreading knife.
You are in a contract with the government. Maybe an involuntary one, but still a contract. This contract gives you rights and benefits, but also obligations and responsibilities.
When the government does not uphold their end of the contract, or changes it to essentially only obligations for you and no benefits, then it becomes extortion. Still not exactly theft, but closer to what you mean.
However, the vast majority of people get benefits that far outweight the costs of the contract. Safety, transportation, education, utilities, etc.
But how does the Rust compiler do that? What does it actually check? Could I write a compiler in C that does this check on a piece of Rust code?
C is so simplictic, that if I can write a piece of functionality in C, I must understand its inner workings fully. Not just how to use the feature, but how the feature works under the hood.
It is often pointless to actually implement the feature in C, since the feature already has a good implementation (see the Rust compiler for the memory safety). But understanding these features, and being able to mentally think about what it takes in C to implement them, is still helpfull for gaining an understanding of the feature.
I mean, at the end of the day, if you really understand your language of choice, you know that it is jusf a bunch of fancy libraries and compiler tricks of top of C. So in my mind, I’m a fully evolved programmer in a language, when I could write anything I can write in that language in C instead.
I have this experience with a certain type of pedestrian traffic light “button”.
I quote button, because nothing physically moves when you press it. I’m not sure if it registers pressure or heat, but you don’t even feel anything move when you press it.
Usually when you press the button, a red text lights up on the button, telling you to wait. This text gives you feedback that the button registered your press, and the traffic light will schedule a green light for you.
However, sometimes you didn’t press hard enough, and the text doesn’t light up. Simple solution: press harder.
But there is a scenario where it doesn’t matter how hard you press, the button won’t light up. You keep staring at it, while slamming the damn thing with the fury of a Hulk wealding Mjolnir. Still, nothing lights up. The reason: the light instantly went green, so it never needed to light up the text telling you to wait. And all that time slamming your fist on the button, could have been spend crossing the intersection. Instead you have been standing there, looking like a drunk person having a fistfight with an inanimate object.

The rise of rightwing politics is not a problem unique to Greece. The Netherlands has none of the economic issues, and has a steady flow of highly educated people comming into the country, yet we also elected a right wing populist. Remember how popular Le Pen was? Or how about the German AfD party? Don’t blame the wrong reason for the rise of these parties throughout Europe.
Fun fact: Android is one of those Linux variants. It is, however, so highly modified, that we usually don’t really call it ‘Linux’ anymore. But the core components of Android are most certainly Linux components. So in a pedantic way, way more people directly use Linux than you would think.
It is not the physical danger, but the risk of people being manipulated, pressured, or straight up forced into doing it. That can certainly still happen with online content. It may not be the image you have of Onlyfans, but I can’t imagine it not happening to some degree.
Exploitation also happens with foreign workers in the farming and logistics industries though. So under the argument they are making, I recommend also closing the entire farming and logistics industries.
That’s good for PFAS poisoning though, since bloodletting reduced PFAS levels in your blood. So if you are worried about PFAS poisoning: go to your local bloodbank, and start donating!
I would not believe her. This reeks like attention seeking at best, or straight up narcissism at worst.
Note that narcissism seems to be at least partially hereditary. So if it is true that her parents have NPD, she is problably has too. Especially with the behaviour you describe.
The lashing out when people question their abilities reminds me of all the lashing out the most famous narcissist in the world does: Trump. Anytime someone calls out his bullshit, he goes on a rant, trying to discredit the person or organisation calling him out. Similarly to how your friend lashes out when you question their delusions of grandiosity.
I recommend, at the very least, to make sure to set some extremely clear boundaries for yourself, and accept that if they are crossed, you cut all contact. Because trying to help another is pointless if it just creates another victem. But I would distance myself from this person. Even if she does need help, I doubt you can provide it.
Good. If member states would be 100% free to assign citizenship, you can get some terrible ideas. For example: give all unwanted migrants citizenship, under the condition that they do not stay in your country.
A lot of treaties only work under the assumption that the definition of citizenship stays what we know it as right now. Protecting that definition means protecting the EU treaties.
Considering std::cout should only directly be used when you are too lazy to place breakpoints, I totally get the decision to auto-flush.
I remember a javascript library where the was a function that returned, according to the documentation, “a color”. Did it return an object with 3 fields? Were those fields RGB or some other color scheme? Is it a string encoding a color? What format is that string? None of these questions could be answered without just running the code, and analyzing the object you got back.
Reddit was a decent solution, till it enshitified to make money. Before then, it was already flooded by the masses. Clearly their method worked fine. Not perfect, but at least fine. So I don’t see why the masses are the problem. I personaly put all the blame on the need to make money of a vital piece of digital infrastructure.
The tricky part, is that we also cannot put it in the hands of a government, since it can become a tool for propaganda. So the EU hosting something like reddit, would also create a conflict of interrests. I’m curious if we can find a good solution to this problem.
Looking at Ukraine, I’d say a lot.
Literally the first sentence of the article: “The government wants Signal and Whatsapp to be forced to store messages sent using the apps.”
Reads like the result of an LLM getting terrible input and a low word count to work with.
Teflon Mark (Rutte) is the perfect guy for this job. Nothing sticks to him anyway. Somehow every single fuckup his governments made were always blamed on someone else. And any mistakes he made, he “has no active recollection of”. So these suck-up letters aren’t going to be blamed on Rutte; he was just doing his job: managing Trump.
