> I have yet to have a useful conversation with someone that couldn't have been an instant message Having spent my last two years doing both intensive on-site work as well as periods of remote work, the ability to actually walk up to someone and work things out in the same room should not be underestimated. There's only so much you can manage in a phone call, especially if more than two or three people are involved. The ability to interact face-to-face with coworkers is not something you appreciate until you've been deprived of it. However, there is a distinct advantage in mixing both on-site work with remote work. As you already pointed out, a significant amount of business communication could be conducted remotely.

> crippling student debt Ah, the UK where you can get the worst of everything: high cost of living, expensive housing, mediocre European pay and crippling student debt. Whilst the student debt won't financially cripple you (due to the repayment scheme structure), a lot of people are leaving With ~ £45k debt. That equates to a lot of lost holiday trips, and forgoing luxury items.

> Putting aside 100k a year for even lets say 10 years (ages 30 to 40 when you are more likely to be high-paid employee), with lets say 5% return a year on average (considering the current economic situation), you won't really have THAT much money. It gets you couple of extra years on top of what you set aside, and thats assuming you keep living relatively frugally. That's $1.25M. You could reasonably expect that money to last you forever if you can live on $50,000 / year (easily do-able in the right parts of the country).

Also work in the US and have holidays, paid time off, sick leave, paid overtime or time off in lieu of pay, flexible hours, paid fitness leave, benefits like health and life insurance, retirement account, and pension. Hell, I've had right around 55 days off this year between the various types of leave and holidays and will be taking another 3 or 4 days off before the year's end. Additionally, 8 hours is all that's expected of me. I probably work more like 9 hours on average, but it's always been my decision to do so and it's always compensated. There's good stuff out there.

`let a = foo()?;` is just as explicit as the Go boilerplate. It is a shorthand for: ``` let a = match foo() { Ok(x) => x, Err(err) => return Err(err) }; ``` Also `.unwrap()` isn't equivalent to `catch(Exception e) {}`. It is kinda equivalent to adding `throws Exception` to all of your methods. Or maybe to `catch(Exception e){throw new RuntimeError(e);}`. So it is still ugly, but better. The error won't be silenced and the program terminates without getting into an invalid state. This is a very disruptive behavior and you will be forced to change your code to better handle the error. Silencing the error and completely ignoring it might lead to some other symptom way down the line and maybe corrupted data that you notice way later. It won't be as clear to you where the problem happened in the source. I'm not advocating the use of `.unwrap()`, just saying it doesn't trigger my desire to fire the person that wrote it.

Kotlin has some nice functional features, so you should be more comfortable with it than with Java. You can do things like: val x = if (c) then y else x That wouldn't work in Java (although for that simple example you could use the "elvis" operator).

> nor is it a reason for any failed product This is something that is really really hard to prove.

This is misguided and clickbait. The danger with articles like this is someone impressionable jumps on the bandwagon. The author does have a valid point about understanding the context and the vision; these are sound principles in any system engineering exercise. However, blaming the tool for stopping devs from doing their engineering properly is possibly a reflection of poor training and management. Jira is only tracker for recording state across any catalogue of *thing* that a user has an interest in tracking, e.g. RAID logs, design decisions, bugs, tests, stories, features, spikes. It is just one of a handful of core tools a development team should be using; IDE, Wiki, SCM, CI, Modelling being some of the other key ones. Also on the same note...one of the other things the author raises here is the idea of using prose. This is also missing the mark. By all means write a bit of prose, but use a sensible modelling notation such as UML and ArchiMate for reducing ambiguity. These things have been invented for a reason. Use them, and train your people to contribute and read these.

A while ago I needed a sip server to build a VoIP network for my startup. After evaluating the Open Source options a realized that it would be best to build my own. I tested the server with multiple devices including soft/hard phones and webrtc. So far I only tested with Voip.ms and DIDLogic. I’m working few more tests and will share the results with the community at a later time. Feel free to comment or ask me any question.

>Immutability is far more common. Lambdas have introduced a whole new style of programming. for functional programming, Java is pretty bad compared to a proper functional language (Ocaml, Haskell, ML), for OOP, Java is a pretty bad language compared to a truly good OOP language like Smalltalk or the Common Lisp Object System for speed, it falls short of C++, D, Ada, and Object Pascal. It is truly an excellent yardstick for a mature, widely used, mediocre language. I have used it professionally for some years and I don't see any reason to get back to it soon.

Higher salary in the Bay Area still outpaces cost of living though compared to other countries. ​ If we were to compare San Francisco to Italy: Average salary for software engineer in San Francisco is 137K USD (**89k** after tax) Average for Italy is 28K EUR or 32K USD (**21.5K** after tax) ​ Let's say average cost of living is 3.5k per month for San Francisco, and 1k for Italy: That's **47k** in after tax savings for SF and **9.5k** for Italy. ​ It's not uncommon to see senior software engineers in Silicon Valley buy Tesla Model P100D's (135k msrp), not sure how it's like in Italy but I would think that would be a lot more uncommon.

I suppose that's fair enough. Is that still considered a memory leak though, I feel like that may be considered bad design? If I cache the result of every function call and don't put a limit to flush old results, it will keep building up forever, but it's not really a leak because I *could* delete it if I wanted to.

Have you lived in Tokyo? I assure you London is *much* more expensive than Tokyo. Rents, transport, food (eating out), and taxes are all much higher in London, and by as much as 1.5-2 times. Expat cost of living rankings overweigh Western luxuries like large houses and fancy restaurant meals, skewing indices heavily. Other than groceries which are slightly more expensive and healthcare which isn't free (but still affordable), Tokyo is cheaper than London and it's not even close.

As a US-based data scientist (Bay Area BigTechCo), I think you’re overestimating the differences. I get 15 discretionary vacation days, plus all of Thanksgiving week, plus a week and a half at Christmas, plus all the usual national holidays. I admit that’s not quite as nice as 25 discretionary, but I’d take turkey day and Xmas anyway, so it works for me. And management makes sure that people do use their vacation. Work days are 9:30-4:30, and weekend work is rare. Sick leave is, in practice, unlimited. People occasionally take 4-6 month sabbaticals (unpaid, of course). Both men and women get 6 weeks paid new child leave (plus additional optional 4 weeks unpaid) at my company. My company is one of the older ones, and has benefits more oriented towards people with kids, but I don’t think we’re especially exceptional as far as benefits go.

I would be more than happy if we would have anything like this, yes. In Sciter's lifetime I've managed to make common abstraction layer around Direct2D, GDI+, CoreGraphics (Mac, iOS), cairo (Linux/GTK), Skia (Windows, Mac, Android). And historical ones like GDI/AGG, OpenVG and others. That layer is pretty close to architecture explained in that paper. Again, if I will find company/organization willing to finance/participate in the project, we may have this in 3-5 months time frame. All that is done already - I just need that code reorganization to "modularize" it so it can be used in C++'s std manner.

People are jumping to defend JIRA; I wonder of they all work for attlassian, heh JIRA sucks for many reasons (for one, it's one of the slowest piece of shit web app I've seen). and hey, if everyone is using the tool wrong, there's something wrong with the tool. JIRA and similar tools *encourage* the kind of behavior described here. Yes, you can use JIRA without falling victim to this kind of behavior, but that's besides the point (why would you use JIRA of you had some sanity to begin with?).

I watched all parts. I remember watching the original moon landing when I was 17 and the thrill of it. OMG! That room had an impressive collection of talent and knowledge. Even though I got into computers in the last half of the 70s, building a MITS ALTAIR 8800 clone from schematics (which was a lot cheaper than buying one!) I cannot hold a candle to the individual talents there. I can only shake my head at the incredible engineering of the original AGC modules and the reverse engineering those gents had to perform. Well done! You may not be comic super-heroes but you are heroes nevertheless and the future owes you a huge thanks!

I got the basic idea going through my computer architectures courses in college, with things like the fetch-decode-execute cycle, how the stack works at a hardware level, how interrupts work and what they're usually used for, and all that. But of course there are lots of online resources, these days. [Emulator 101](http://emulator101.com/) talks about emulating 3 CPUs, with 2 of them going on to being complete emulators. Chip-8 is a bit down the list, but that's actually a good starting point, after you read the first few introductory pages. Chip-8 is actually a VM originating from the mid-70s on some fairly obscure computers, but its simplicity makes it an ideal first emulation target. The section on emulating the Intel 8080 starts with the CPU, then leads you through the rest of an implementation of the Space Invaders arcade game. There's also a section at the bottom about emulating the 6502 CPU, which was used in a ton of famous machines and game systems in the late 70s, with successors being used up into the early 90s. A fairly natural progression would be to write a CHIP-8 emulator, then Space Invaders, then perhaps adapt the 8080 into a similar CPU, the Sharp LR35902, used in the Nintendo Game Boy. The tutorial by [Imran Nazar](http://imrannazar.com/GameBoy-Emulation-in-JavaScript) can act as a set of guidelines for that; I think his tutorial reaches just to the point where you have Tetris kind of hackily running, but if you've gotten that far, you can probably do the research to continue moving forward on your own. (note: Imran refers to the Game Boy's CPU as a Z80. Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 were closely-related, with the Z80 being a bit more advanced. The GB's LR35902 is a cousin of both of those, to the point that some people call it the GBZ80). From there, the NES's 6502-related CPU is simpler, but certain aspects of the NES itself can be more complex, especially getting into some of the more-advanced memory-mapping chips; the GB has some of those challenges too, but I feel like it's harder in the NES. There are more things like page numbers being fed in 1 bit at a time and page flips occurring on specific memory reads, and such. And the Game Boy has only 4 really common memory-mappers (although there are probably 3x that many, but mostly only used in one or two games each). The NES has dozens, although I don't remember the exact count. And you can always join us around r/emudev to post questions, ask for feedback, and see how other people are doing things.

Your perception just doesn't match the reality for the overwhelming majority of software developers in the US. You can choose to adjust your perception or continue being ignorantly wrong based on your anecdata.

I just wish Nim was a little more... cohesive and directed. The language is really nice to work with, it's fun and expressive; but when I use it I get this strange feeling that it's also incredibly messy and it puts me off.

How easy would it be for me to find work developing in France or should i just keep my job here and work remotely there? I am on track to either move there for a couple months out of the year or permanently in the next year. I used to live in Annecy so that is where I would be going. and if you want to pm me and talk that would be cool. Je parle francais aussi.

Higher salary in the Bay Area still outpaces cost of living though compared to other countries. ​ If we were to compare San Francisco to Italy: Average salary for software engineer in San Francisco is 137K USD (**89k** after tax) Average for Italy is 28K EUR or 32K USD (**21.5K** after tax) ​ Let's say average cost of living is 3.5k per month for San Francisco, and 1k for Italy: That's **47k** in after tax savings for SF and **9.5k** for Italy. ​ It's not uncommon to see senior software engineers in Silicon Valley buy Tesla Model P100D's (135k msrp), not sure how it's like in Italy but I would think that would be a lot more uncommon.

Of course it is. You have the program deployed to production, it's running and over time the memory space fills up. Your point about it not being a leak before you "could" feels like a non-meaningful difference. I interpret that "could" as meaning you could makes changes to the code to free the memory. But in the case where the reference is lost, we could modify the program to free the memory while the reference is still available.

Listen up, ignoramous who thinks the world ends East of Maine. A software developer in Ohio makes $70k a year. He would make $70k in Ottawa. That's a difference of almost 30%. A Canadian can make a lot more money in America. Many do. But many also don't, because America is full of retards, and if you're a skilled labourer it's probably not worth putting up with. Also green cards are hard to get.

It's a misconception that software developers work in silos. 50% of my week can be talking to another developer or client. The easiest way to make sure all that communication happens is to co-locate everyone. It's much more difficult to create the correct processes for people to talk over long distances. Most companies don't want to create the new processes. They want to continue what they know.

> Free health-care, even if I lose my job Assuming you're young and healthy, catastrophic healthcare coverage is like $150 a month. (I.e. 100% coverage past $10,000 medical expenses in a year) Even if you pay a few thousand a year for routine medical stuff, you're maybe talking about $5k a year in healthcare costs. Also keep in mind that the NHS means higher taxes on your paycheck. > 20 days holiday is standard, PTO for sickness is fairly good Most US tech companies give unlimited vacation. > I can't be sacked without good cause Unemployment rate for software engineers is under 2% in the US. A skilled American software engineer can make a single phone call and have a new job in a few hours. > In the unlikely event of pregnency there is paid time off for it Let's be very generous, and say you have four kids through a 25 year career. Let's also say your American company gives 0 maternity leave (virtually no software engineer roles do). At the UK's statutory 39 weeks maternity leave, that's three years maternity out of 25. That justifies a 13% pay difference, not the 50% plus seen between the UK and US. > I don't have to pay for a car since public transport in London is so good A three year old Toyota Camry is about $15 thousand and will last ten years or more. Add in another $1000 a year in insurance, gas and maitenance, and you're talking about an amortized cost of $250 a month to own a car. By contrast a London tube pass costs $400 a month. (Not to mention the higher UK taxes to pay for the transport) > EU Working Time Directive (In theory). [The average hours worked per year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_average_annual_labor_hours_in_OECD_countries) in the US is 1790 a year. In the UK it's 1670. That's a 7% difference. Again, it doesn't justify 50% lower salaries for London engineers.

> the ability to actually walk up to someone and work things out in the same room should not be underestimated. I can't say I have ever actually needed to do this. I can recall many times someone responding to an IM with "Just come to my desk and I'll explain it." resulted in me going back to my desk without the answer I needed and having to have them send me an email or IM later. It's even worse with larger meetings. The more people in the room the longer it takes to get even the simplest shit done. Meetings are a great way to waste time looking busy and accomplishing nothing.
