> But regardless, US exporters to the EU end up paying more taxes than domestic EU producers.

but only because of tariffs, not VAT system. we pay VAT regardless from where the good came from.

the point is that US has clear and direct influence to twitter/facebook/instagram algorithms and recommendations and they can suppress one topic or another. it is not the case with tiktok, and this is primary reason for this ban

I agree.

So much bitterness and toxicity here, it is even surprising to me.

Sure, in current climate people are upset about economics and whole situation in general, but still it was unpleasant to read comment section here...

just want to send you some moral support.

I have more than two years of sobriety already, time flies incredibly fast.

if it will get hard, keep reminding yourself that even this worse feeling is still better than being drunk. at least it helped to me and then lows became much smaller over time.

it gets better!

how long ago you were a junior engineer?

I suspect it was possible because availability/performance requirements were different.

also-I think your defined problem is partially caused by developers themselves: if you give them simple (even if it is challenging) project, they get bored and start creating problems themselves to make project "worthy" of their time

did not find anything metioned about namespaces/packages support? quite disappointing :( this is the main disadvantage for my tastes

yeah and do you realise what you are suggesting?

your proposed change will take decades to rework cities to move away from car-centric city design, to introduce public transportation, to rework current districts, to move shopping malls/restaurants closer to living districts etc.

all of this just because you wanted to make stricter insurance just to make it more (by how much?) efficient for insurers, so that they would make more profit.

not do dismiss anything or what..

but how does this kind of multithreading (one thread per core) is better than proper multithreading (many threads per core)?
