We're hosted in AWS and pretty much all of our servers are now unreachable.

This is going to be a nightmare.

Traitors to America? What the hell does that even mean in this context?

Are all anti-capitalists traitors to America?

The company I am with just moved from plaintext in-database password storage to using bcrypt with their latest product release, FWIW. It was either that or I left, heh.

This title is ambiguous unfortunately. I clicked, expecting ML the language family.

Before tax. Rent is 3400 DKK, in a nice house share with two developers. Our lease is up in January (original owner wants it back), but it has been nice otherwise. 10 months here.

You can extrapolate the wage from this, but it's not high in the field at all.

Most of my friends live in Amager, Østerbro, etc. Anyone expecting to find affordable, modern accommodation easily in historic city centres is deluding themselves to a degree. Copenhagen has one of the more modern transportation systems in the world, so commuting is hardly an effort.

You use American spelling. I call shenanigans. At the very least, your view comes across as definitively US-centric.

Nevermind that Copenhagen is arguably one of the nicest cities in the world, in one of the most "civilised" nations in the world. Ugh.

I moved to Copenhagen from the UK in February and had no problem. You just approached it terribly -- Copenhagen is not in America, and different places have different ways of doing things. You can't just expect foreign cultures to play by your rules. You have to do your research and find out how the locals do it. I got to see several nice apartments and they were decently priced, and am spending approx. 10% of my monthly wage on rent.

"Donating half of my paycheck to the taxman in order to live in a city overpriced by any measure is one thing."

Copenhagen has some of the highest wages in Europe. It also has fantastic levels of social welfare, income equality, universal education and healthcare, etc. Whining about high taxes also just comes across as so bloody stereotypical.

>>it proves that a psychotic mob of minutiae obsessed sufferers of Autism are capable of incredible productivity in spite of anachronistic tooling

>That should've been your hint that I have an admiration for them and their project.

You called the developers a psychotic mob of Autism sufferers. A hint of admiration, you say?

OpenBSD developers are autistic and psychotic?

Fuck off, and die.

Puts me on the opposite end of the country. Sigh.
