This isn't really going anywhere, so I'll say my last bit on this and you can feel free to have the last word on the subject if you'd like. You seem to be identifying the constitue…

1.) of course there was a choice. That’s what all of this was, a concrete plan, none of this was organic. A choice was made to be nuclear-free, and not coal free. This is what set …

The problem here is that you seem to be arguing a point I’m not making. I’m speaking only to the decisions regarding prioritizing decommissioning nuclear over coal. Let’s ignore th…

It’s not at all a minor issue. These are real emissions that will continue to exist which didn’t need to. You’ve made zero argument to refute that fact.

There were great strides in increasing the overall percentage of renewable power. If the proportion of nuclear power had stayed constant, that would mean usage of coal could have b…

Yes, multiple times, and with relatively high quality organizations compared to the norm, I think.

Location: Bremen, Germany until August; Fort Collins Colorado after that. Remote: Preferred. I most frequently work with clients in the US and London. Willing to relocate: No Techn…

This is not at all my experience. I'm an American living in Germany who pretty regularly goes to the Alps, the roads are nothing remarkable. The amount of infrastructure built in t…

This was essentially my route as well. My wife got a two year postdoc position in Germany. I actually gave them over a month of notice, since I had a rather unique position and I k…

Assuming n isn't very large, I don't see why. People will spend sometimes days in on-site interviews. A simple coding challenge can tell you a lot about a developer and provide a s…

This is exactly it. I had burned myself out to the point that I was almost completely unable to work, to the point that I actually was concerned I might need to find a new type of …

I travel quite frequently between the EU and the US and occasionally elsewhere - I've never seen a new OK button when I arrive in a new location. Can you provide an example of this…

I think a major issue with CS in particular is that the numbers have actually gone down significantly in the past few decades: > Before 1970, women took between 10% and 15% of comp…

Weird, I actually consider Pythons consistency in syntax to be a positive. And it's continually becoming more so.

Could you elaborate a bit on what you prefer about it? I've heard this from a few people and would be curious to hear it fleshed out a bit.

Actually I've noticed quite the opposite. At least in the more populated parts of Europe, in my experience Apple Maps does fine and in some cases does better than Google Maps (in m…
