The really scary thing is that we're at the beginning of the AI revolution, and even more people will be out of their jobs soon. It will only get worse for a next decade or so.

I'm almost 50, so it's too late to go into trades. Things are not looking good.

Fragmentation in ZFS wastes a lot of space. So it doesnt matter if it's SSD or not.

Do you add your IDE version to your commits, everytime you use autocomplete, or when you refactor the code and ask ide to replace all function names?

"11 sources spanning seven languages, English, Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese, Spanish, Turkish, Indonesian, German, and Indian-English"

1. English food is not really food, should not be included. :)

2. 11 sources is nowhere near close to "all of human cooking"..

Germany lost the war. That's just small price they should be paying for exterminating millions of people and destroying many countries. And these lands were Polish, and Czech way before there were Germans. That's why Prussia had a systematic depolonization going on in the 1800s on these lands. They wanted remove the inhabitants of these lands for a long time..

Most of the subsidies go back to the western Europe in the form of cheap products, and cheap labor. Also these subsidies were used to buy technology, machinery and goods from the West. Let's have Germany pay few trillions in reparations, and we can give back the billions in subsidies. Deal?

German working class is actually benefiting from this as Poland it one of their biggest importers now. And they are still benefiting from slave labor, stolen precious metals, and art they got during the WW2. Not to mention the Marshall Plan. They really can't be complaining.

But maybe that's because these countries did not have to struggle as hard as Poland did?

When you lose 20% of your population and then spend 50 years under communist rule because your allies sold you out, there’s really only one direction left to go—up.

A lot of people either forget, or never learned, that Poland was once one of the largest and most influential states in Europe.Yes it was long time ago, but the potential was always there. The real challenge was surviving the consequences of being caught between neighbors whose ideologies gave rise to two of the deadliest systems of the 20th century.
