In Sweden CGNAT was not a thing for a long time, the large incumbents still have their huge blocks of IPs so its "just" go to them if you want a pulic IP. Apparently smaller ISPs do use CGNAT, so its fairly common.

Me as somewhat of a nerd, even doubt if I need a public IP, seeing how cyber security is looking today.

So.. when I google "median income eu vs US" I get some completely different figures: $51k / $64k-65k median for the US, and €21k in the EU.

So the median household in the US has 3 working adults? Is $211k household according to that page.

I am even more confused after this answer: Are the nodes actual reviews or something else?

Out of 24 discord servers I am on, only 4 are related to games.

Most are software related, or why not genealogy or mesh networking?

I never started using discord for gaming, I just find its everywhere.

We are encouraged to, and I do, use our tokens not for "throughput" but mostly for increasing quality.

We are basically not limited by the time it takes to write code, we never were. But we ARE limited in the time it takes to wrote ancillary code: CI and testing code being the biggest, but also tools.

Iv'e started on 2 bigger sub-projects that could help with coverage and finding really hard bugs that I would _never_ have even touched before, becuase I could never have fitted it with my regular work that actually has high priority.

We are recruiting in Sweden and apparently its very hard finding good candidates. Most are fresh from very short (2 years) educations or other special cases as opposed to having had 4-5 years of university and maybe some experience.

Fun thing though, we recently let a consultant go due to relying too much on LLMs.

"Microsoft also used to employee engineers focused soley on testing software"

Is this weird in any way? I live in EU land, but this does not seem too uncommon. As a developer Ive had assignments where I only wrote unit test, another where I was reponsible for daily CI running well (though both moved towards development eventually). I heard just the other day about a competitor where you did not write your own test code.

This feels a bit image convolution where you can "hide" and "recover" information that is very blurred. To draw a paraelell this is then highly dependent on not being distilled, since deconvolution really needs that numerical accuracy.

It has to be possible to use fixed point arithmetic?

There are noob lobbies, the problem for me was that I just happened to be on the winning team a couple of times in a row, and suddenly my rank was too high for noob games, even though I still was one.

I found he got a lot less interesting when the videos became longer.

I heard a song with, a really not that unknown artist, that I thought was awesome. Ive tried finding it now a couple of times, but nope..

The title is R.T.N.R I think (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer) but in a metal version.

I also know I read an article about the artist, and he/they were very reclusive and did not want media attention.

Its just the song was great!!
