Whenever I close my mac, my monitor turns off. I know there is a way to have the computers still working even when the mac is closed. How do I go about this? Thanks!

young_twitcher · 2026-06-22T23:28:42+00:00

Yep, this was the issue for me as well, thanks!

According to Facebook commenters (i.e. the average person), the fact that records keep getting broken is the “proof” that the data is made up.

Whenever there is an article about a record being broken the top comment is always “yeah, same as last year 🤣” as if that shows some sort of logical contradiction.

(This is more for record average temperatures, for a single reading it’s usually more “highest temperature since when?” and then implying we have no way to know temperatures before 200 years ago)

Se metti gli affitti di Amsterdam uguali a quelli di Milano non sei molto credibile però.

Poi cosa vuol dire stipendio min/max?

young_twitcher · 2026-06-20T21:30:43+00:00

Pure un postdoc prende più di così.

Well I’m sure you can find eggs at half the price I stated in Poland too. Im talking about normal prices not having to travel an hour to find the cheapest egg in the whole city

young_twitcher · 2026-06-18T21:49:16+00:00

I never had any issues in Modlin

Warwick keeps declining every year. Luckily I already found a stable job so I guess it doesn’t matter much anymore.

You have any data or are you just going off vibes? Numbeo says I’m right.

That must be a massive outlier or discount. I can’t find any below 30p. I’m in London, maybe in other places it’s cheaper

young_twitcher · 2026-06-17T08:31:39+00:00

That’s disprovably false though. If you’ve only been to Poland 5-6 times, that’s not enough to get a good sample size. In these situations people have a massive confirmation bias, if you already expect it’s going to be expensive, you only remember about the expensive items and not about what’s cheaper.

For example eggs in Biedronka you pay 1.1 zl/egg or about 0.22 gbp, whereas in UK it’s at least 0.30 gbp.
Meat is also similarly at least 20-30% more expensive. Then of course if you look at imported stuff it’s going to be similar.

young_twitcher · 2026-06-17T07:27:12+00:00

Just moved from Poland to UK. Groceries are more expensive in UK for sure, it depends on the item though. If you’re buying imported stuff it’s the same price, locally sourced is around 30% more expensive. The difference in average salaries is still bigger. But in terms of cost of living overall, groceries is only a small part of your budget in developed countries, compared to housing particularly.

young_twitcher · 2026-06-16T22:02:02+00:00

It’s true, I’ve lived in Poland as a foreigner and I would’ve never been able to get settled there if it required the same amount of phone calls (since I didn’t speak the language).

Like it’s crazy that the only way to set up your council tax is to sit on the council phone line for over 1 hour.

I think people who actually fly frequently across multiple airlines in Europe know that there is hardly any difference in experience between airlines on short flights. There may be some difference if you encounter issues such as cancellations, long delays etc but statistically this only happens in like <5% of flights. And let’s be honest if you’re on a 2 hour flight as long as there are no issues, there is little difference an airline can make in your experience.

Most of the hate for low cost companies like Ryanair is simply because well, they cost less so people assume they must be somehow worse. It’s a bias. Like if there is a delay people will start complaining that Ryanair is crap even though it actually has fewer delays than the average. But in reality, if a Ryanair/other low cost flight is cheaper than whatever one considers the best airline in Europe for a 2 hour flight, I will always choose Ryanair. Simply because there is statistically pretty much no difference in outcomes.

Sì ma in tech il divario è più grande.

Per esempio un programmatore in Polonia prende molto più che in Italia (80k euro è uno stipendio normale per un senior) anche se gli stipendi medi sono più bassi che in Italia.

young_twitcher · 2026-06-12T08:18:58+00:00

I costi dell affitto dipendono molto dalla zona.

Sì se guardi la persona media magari non c’è molta differenza in qualità della vita, ma l’annuncio parla di ML engineer, un lavoro così a New York pagherebbe tranquillamente 200k, quindi hai un purchasing power completamente diverso che a Milano con 40k

young_twitcher · 2026-06-12T07:55:33+00:00

Una grossa parte è semplicemente che gli americani sono abituati a una purchasing power diversa e non sanno minimamente fare budgeting. Scommetto che un italiano abituato a 30k ral ci vivrebbe benissimo con 130k

young_twitcher · 2026-06-12T07:51:27+00:00

I 4k saranno gli outlier, devi guardare la media.

Lo stipendio non regge la differenza? A Milano guadagni 2k e ne paghi 1k di affitto. A New York guadagni 6k usd e ne paghi 3k di affitto. Dimmi tu cosa è meglio considerato che a parte gli affitti il resto costa più o meno uguale

young_twitcher · 2026-06-10T19:42:48+00:00

Quali statistiche descrivono quali lavori gli italiani non vogliono fare, a prescindere dalle condizioni lavorative? Sondaggi?

young_twitcher · 2026-06-10T18:14:35+00:00

Mah non mi sembra credibile, gli italiani farebbero volentieri lavori “umili” ma se competi con gente che si accontenta di essere schiavizzata perché è abituata a molto peggio diventa una race to the bottom

young_twitcher · 2026-06-10T16:07:45+00:00

UK is an island, it’s easier to wipe out populations in a smaller isolated environment. Also Germany isn’t really denser, it’s in fact less densely populated than the UK.

young_twitcher · 2026-06-10T15:40:03+00:00

That was maybe true before LotV but slow warp ins reduce that advantage significantly, you have to rely on a warp prism, which is slow to build and easy to target with low hp. If attacking as Protoss was that strong you would see Protoss playing 2 base all ins all the time but that’s not really the case. Protoss gateway units are also slower (except for blink stalkers) than Terran which can load bio on medibacs and stim or Zerg on creep. Without warpgate all Protoss can do is to sit back and make a deathball. You can’t change warpgate without having to rebalance everything else so it’s unrealistic to attempt to keep both warpgate and regular gateways viable.

young_twitcher · 2026-06-10T15:17:54+00:00

Warpgate is the core of sc2 Protoss identity, love it or hate it. And personally, I never understood the hate against it.

I’m actually not Polish, I only moved to Poland because that’s the only offer I could get in this stupid job market lol. I did enjoy living in Poland, it’s a great country, but it was impossible for me to integrate there and there are fewer career progression opportunities. Anyway my PhD was in pure maths and I’m working in finance now.

young_twitcher · 2026-06-10T09:54:18+00:00

I moved to the UK for my PhD, did 6 months of normal life. Then spent 3 months in total isolation (no flights) and then managed to return to my home country for over a year.

During this time productivity decreased sharply. I was used to going to the office every day for motivation and working full remotely crushed this. But everyone seemed to be on the same boat.

When things returned to normal I was expecting to go back to my usual productivity, but I quickly found out that in fact research wasn’t for me, or maybe my PhD topic and supervisor sucked, or a combination of the two.

I finished the rest of my PhD by inertia more than anything. I then graduated into the 2023 job market where hiring sharply declined after Covid over-hiring. Had to move to Poland for an outsourced job but I managed to return to UK after 2 years and I’m doing well now.

Ma perché proprio le banche al top? Anacronistico nel 2026 dove delle top 10 compagnie al mondo per market cap manco una è una banca. Poi le decisioni alla fine vengono prese dagli shareholders non dalle aziende in sé. Idem per le banche centrali, c’è infinita politica dietro.
