The same thing happened to Slovakia not that long ago.

Same for me, but it produced much better answer than what would I expect from GPT 5.5 xhigh. Also the good think about Codex is that it always finishes the prompt, even when the limit was reached in the half.

Secrecy of correspondence is a pretty old concept.

first image gen models from openai and google were not available in the eu at the launch

Luckily, basic VPN to US is enough to use it. Just tested it.

Why should people in food industry have a special threatment compared to people working in other industries?

If I was paying a market price for my medical insurance, I would probably pay a third of it and be able to get a screening sooner than in a half a year as a cancer patient.

Pensions are a special case in my country, because we have just state pensions and almost no private funds. Everyone in my age - late 20s or early 30s know, that we pay a great share of our income to current pensioners but we won't be able to get it because of the demographics.

Yeah, most europeans are not aware how much do we spend on agriculture, pensions and healthcare.

I am not quite sure, like 2-4 years ago.

For a long time apple keyboard did not support my language (czech), I would use gboard. And yes, it is still slightly better than the Apple one, but the switching is buggy and the problem is on the apple side.

But computer usage proficiency is not computer science either. These skills should be teached in a separate class. Agree with the gen z lack of computer skills though.

The link is not working.

They should probably change the name then.

All enterprises I know use GitHub copilot as they already have Office, Teams, … wonder how will it change with the recent pricing changes

I have got lots of downvotes and no critical comments. Why?

Scaleway is actually good. Last time I have tried they didn't have this huge banner that they are european, so I didn't know. Still they look like digitalocean alternative, not huge enterprise level aws alternative.

Why not focus on having something actually competetive with AWS / gcp / azure? And not, hetzner and OVH are not it.

Not to agree or disagree, but the McKinsey has been heavily criticised as bogus. For example https://econjwatch.org/File+download/1296/GreenHandMar2024.p....

I don’t know where you live, but generally EU’s governments are much more in support of migration than their citizens. The big corporations want that cheap labour and they won’t pay the secondary cost.

Still, more tax burden for companies won’t make eu more competitive against the rest of the world. We need to dramatically cut down all the regulations, have a true one market, open capital market. I am still very much pro EU, but it needs to be reformed.

I am sure that the problem of current EU is not lack of excesive taxation.

Zurich is probably in a league of its own. London next. But then it is quite similiar in Paris, Prague, Warsaw, Frankfurt, ...

Wow, that sucks. Here in Czechia the politicians talk about cracking it down all the time, but in reality it is now more common than ever with no signs of stopping. Only higher execs at banks or in other regulated industries needs to have a normal employment contract.

Having 10-20% tax rate really helps though to have comparable or better pay rate to western europe with about 50% tax rate.

The taxation is not though. It may be better working from Warsaw or Prague due to tax rules. In Czechia it's a sort of fake, but tolerated consultancy and self employment and I have heard there is a similiar status in Poland.

Sure, it could be that in Czechia most EVs owners are still tech fans and they choose Tesla. BYD expands to the EU from the east, so it may overrepresentated here. Škoda apparently has decent electric sales in the Vokswagen group. Just anecdotally something like 80% EVs I see are Teslas.

And even more an icon of european irrelevance. In Prague almost all EVs are Teslas. I see a BYD time to time. Škoda or Volkswagen almost never.

And what cross platform code editor does that nowadays? vscode is electron, jetbrains has swing, ...

The way it goes beyond just emulating terminal. Multiline input that works like text editor, separated input and output blocks, wrapped shells that keeps the same ux with local and remote shells, the polish.

~And where is it? I am a long time signed in user, so no onboarding for me.~ How would you make money from users like me?

edit: nevermind, it was quite discoverable...

I hope someone will create a lightweight version without AI and code editing stuff. The terminal experience is the best, but I don't have any use for the agentic stuff while having claude code, opencode, codex and plenty other options.
