It's been production-ready for a while, Valve is known to use it for long time. Official release is more for API and ABI stability so you don't have to change anything to upgrade.

it has nothing to do with being autistic, however he was fucking zooted on ketamine during ceremony. I doubt that he's ever sober as of lately.

Drug usage can fuck up people good or bring out what's hiding real deep in them, see Kanye's story with nitrous. And that's precisely why he's dangerous, he is powerful and deranged at the same time.

on reddit majority of heavy lifting is done by community mods. hosting, however, is a pain, lemmy is centralized as fuck.

35 to 40k (if your spouse is choosing tax class with a higher rate) after taxes or around so, depends on many factors - German tax code is complicated.

Is it enough to live on

Generally - barely above "paycheck to paycheck" level, but highly depends on location. In Munich you'll be fucked with this type of salary.

or buy a home

lmao no. Houses are mainly for older and retired people or rich, vast majority of active workforce are apartment renters, more fortunate ones were able to save/get help from relatives for mortgage. Total home ownership rate in Germany is 46.7%, lowest of all OECD countries - and that's including older people who got their homes during better economic times. Neat trick about Germany is that you have to have both stable job at big company and a lot of cash on your hands to cop a mortgage, since 20% downpayment + taxes/fees and other bullshit that run at around 10% of the total price make good barrier.

buy a home and support a family

Not really, adults in the household have to work, 60k is not 'breadwinner' type of salary at all. In general, tech workers aren't special in Germany, if not for US companies branches they'd be earning the same as everyone else and in many industries (like transportation), where pressure from international market is not present that much, they still do.

It was good while it lasted, but Germany is heading into some pretty interesting times in general, younger population is absolutely fucked.

I get where you are coming from, however it's important to remember that big players are not equal - they have really, really different people in the leadership. Elmo is just a too-big-to-fall clown with insane ego, spez is a manchild who took VC money like there's no tomorrow and in the end had no idea how to provide ROI, but youtube is ran by very competent people with solid track record and deep pockets.

Maybe they are not too innovative business-wise recently... but they are good at catching up (except live streaming - screen layout is dogshit and nobody wants to get hyped in their tiny chatbox from a fucking google account with family photo as an avatar) and at leveraging what they already have, which is quite a lot, tbh.

safe and sanitary space in Manhattan can cost the same as mansion with a pool somewhere else.

With current global world simply existing in attractive locations could be luxury.

"autonomous vehicle" in the article can't handle most basic shit like emergency vehicle approaching. I've spent enough years in automotive engineering and all of this autonomous drive bullshit is ADAS with a few gimmicks and shouldn't be nowhere near full control of the car, however this got out of hand and this shit is on public roads somehow.

  • paid by middle class, which cannot afford tax evasion.

Wealthy people in Europe don't pay shit. It's much easier than in the US, where only ultra-wealthy don't pay shit.

lmao, Germany of all places. This country is designed for people to live paycheck to paycheck, earlier it was at least somewhat justified by social security, but greedy government fucks don't know where to get money anymore.

database migrations will take a while for big instance, but other than that - smooth sailing.

there's a lot of different C's out there - I mean coding for microcontrollers looks really different to coding graphics with opengl, for example, especially for a beginner.
What do you want to do achieve with C specifically?

it's most likely coming from postgres, db server tends to be the main resource hog.
