Big cities in France never vote far-right, and the PS (left) candidate is leading the polls in Paris' next election, so I'm really not sure what you're talking about. Gentrification is hardly a cause for far-right coming to power.

Yes because wasting 2 to 3 hours in traffic every day surely makes people more productive.

What a great project. Amazing work, thank you for shipping this.

The idea that Paris is more dangerous than any big city in the US is laughable, and any person that thinks otherwise or that believes anything that Trump spouts is either gravely uneducated at best, or an absolute moron at worst.

It has nothing to do with reddit being 'hardcore-leftist' as you put it, and more to do with the sad state of the US nowadays. Also, try saying anything remotely moderate on any right-leaning sub and see how that works. Really depends on the sub you're browsing.

Also, my anecdotal experience is very different than yours: not a day goes by without me reading some imbecilic comment about american exceptionalism, and where other idiots (I think you'd call them "patriots") gather to upvote/outbid said comment, particularly on large subs.

If you consider reddit to be hardcore-leftist, you'll find plenty of like-minded people on 4chan.

Fairness related to other professions seems to be a very odd metric. I fail to see why software engineers should feel guilty about WFH because others can't.

I mean I'd love to be able to enjoy a nice sky or a beautiful view of the sea while I'm working but alas, my work tool is neither a plane nor a boat.

Wow. Thank you for bringing perspective, I wasn't aware of Aria's work (which is absolutely incredible) and of what's happening behind the scenes of VCV. It's very disappointing as the product is amazing and lowers the barrier to entry to the eurorack ecosystem.

Yeah I try FF every 6 months to see if the scrolling has improved and each and every time I go back to using Chrome after a few days. I wouldn't say it's bad but it's noticeably worse than Chrome and I just can't get over it.

Exact same thing for FF on Android.

> Java is going downhill(as in not much new code is being written in it)

This is just completely false.

I could link many other links showing Java as an extremely widespread language. There is just nothing comparable in the corporate world.

StyloBill — Wed, 27 May 2020 14:47:42 +0000

I see a lot of hate for AMP, and rightly so. I've been able to get rid of it completely on my Android device with two tricks:

- Changed my browser for Kiwi browser : very close to Chrome but with some neat features, one of them being to automatically redirect AMP links to original links

- deAMPify is a way to redirect AMP links from any other app than the browser

I really wish there was a way to opt-out of AMP as on iOS you're definitely SOL

Spot on. I'm a non-native english speaker, so my syntax sometimes leaves to be desired. Sorry for the confusion.
