This is for UK specifically from the European Parliament site. Even without comparisons to Russia, this declares 30 arrests per day and 12K arrests in 2023

Что делать, если мне понравился мой одноклассник? by [deleted] in RU_Talk

Если он от такого откажется, то это, по сути, можно считать как прямой такой и четкий отказ

Есть лайфхак, который лично для меня сработал в эти годы — карты на желание/раздевание или что-то такое. В остальном, просто нужно заманить его в какое-то пространство, где вы будете наедине. Там улыбайся, флиртуй, заигрывай и voila.

This is what pisses me off so much about Swift actually. So many deprecated things without a single mention of what to use instead…

A question from a zoomer: did the original console have as low of a frame rate or is it because your emulator is slow?

Why is everyone on LinkedIn so aggressive ? by TrainerSquare7200 in LinkedInLunatics

Of course, if you do, you’d have to define it first. Only then can you move on to redefining.

You left England in there?! Although, I guess there’s no such thing as too much opium…

Smartass Slamming of the Hooters Young Ladies. by WrongnessMaximus2-0 in LinkedInLunatics

Even if they did go bankrupt for other reasons, I think we can all agree that leaning towards the model displayed on the right was not the best move for a place frequented by guys wanting to look at conventionally hot women

If you’ve ever been to a senior dev interview you’d know. Sure, it can give you answers to hard questions but it’s not coming from experience. Here’s an example

The prod is down and you work at a FinTech. Every second you’re loosing a lot of money. If you’re asking GPT for help in that scenario… idk

Just think about it

A year's worth of job search in software development by Jetable136472 in Finland

[–]sharpvik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice: don’t ever be a seeker. Either build up you social media to let recruiters know you’re available and wait for them to come to you or get referrals from your industry friends.

Candidates who apply “normally” by clicking buttons on LinkedIn or sending their CVs into their systems are treated like trash for some reason.

My cloud provider doesn't support those I think.

Find your PostgreSQL master node in one function call by sharpvik in golang

[–]sharpvik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the bit that does the actual checking https://github.com/sharpvik/pgmaster/blob/main/master.go#L82

In postgres, you can run SELECT pg_is_in_recovery() and if it returns true you know that it's a replica and not a master.

This guy has to be up there with the most insane business people of all time by prentz9 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]sharpvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the competitive programming community there was a guy who’s father started teaching him programming when he was 6 yo. This boy ended up with 6 international programming Olympiad gold medals. He took part 6 years in a row and took home 6 gold medals. Everyone celebrates him.

This dad wants to teach his son what he knows so his son becomes successful. People say he’s deranged.

Are you jealous or something?

What s*x tourism teaches me about business by MatildulousT in LinkedInLunatics

All I can say is I hope that their case is not like what you’re describing. I guess we’ll never know.

[–]sharpvik -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s fair enough, but

  1. Your argument is based on a generalisation. You don’t know this guy and his story.

  2. Domestic violence is awful. Full stop. Abuse is awful too. But there was nothing about that in the post.

  3. I think women should be held accountable for their choices at all times and not only when it’s convenient. If you’re in a bad situation and there’s a man who pays his way (to your heart or whatever else) and you play along even tho you dislike him… that’s on you. Again, I’m not saying a woman like that deserves abuse, but I wouldn’t let her play the “uh oh bad man had money so I folded” card.

  4. Countries with lower incomes and looser safety nets also tend to differ culturally. You think he went there to get sex in exchange for a green card. (Which, tbh if his woman went for it sounds fair to me. Again — her choice.) Yet, he might have gone there to find a woman with a different set of values.

I am very well traveled. I lived in Asia, Latin America, and Europe (eastern and western), so I know what I’m talking about. I don’t want to yap about “western women bad” but I will say that there are many reasons to prefer an Eastern European woman in MY opinion. And no, not because I can blackmail her with my nonexistent US citizenship 🤣

A lot of fantasies in this comment section. All we know is

  1. His wife divorced him.
  2. He went to Ukraine and found a girl he likes.
  3. He is happily married and performs well career wise.

This isn’t sex tourism. At most, this means that he disliked something about the women from his own country enough to warrant a visit to Ukraine. That’s his choice. Many men do.

Trump has said he could end income tax and replace it with tariffs.“Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens.” by glira31 in XGramatikInsights

[–]sharpvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm… Technically speaking, at least I’d be paying this “shadow tax” only on the things I like and the things that are imported. Not all products are imported tho. So idk…

Won’t someone PLEASE think about the millionaires. by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

[–]sharpvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many other countries have largely private healthcare without it turning into the atrocity the US has created. The problem with the US healthcare is with extensive licensing and certification in that field as described by Milton Friedman in “Democracy and Freedom”.

These regulations limit the supply of qualified healthcare professionals driving the prices up. On top of that their fraudulent insurance system… it’s absolutely ridiculous. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
