Germany spent something like a trillion euro on renewables and still produces much more CO2 per capita per year than France who spent 200 billion on nuclear (and whose nuclear industry is forced to bail out competitors now)
One would think "green" movements (greenpeace, and modern green parties) have been infiltrated by coal/oil/gas lobbies as so far the only winner out of no nuclear yes wind policy is Vladimir Putin and not the environment
I got 3 messages from 3 recruiters this morning on linkedin for a (wellknown) company i interviewed for few years back.
I politely replied to each that, I interviewed, thought it went quite well and then got ghosted (never heard anything, zero), hence not going thru that again. Besides current job pays more and is interesting
I think its important to sepate Java the language from JVM runtime
Likes of Kotlin (and controversially Scala) do quite well on it and solve many of the ugly deficiencies of Java
Its also probably important to separate latest Java (which is improving) from enterprise Java out there which usually feels like an archeology dig with decades of boilerplate and rubbish and terrible code
Currently in an enteprise java team and hate my life and regreting moving away from Kotlin+Springboot team.
It also got me interested in the 30 years war which i didnt realise was possibly even bloodier period than WW1 and 2 in europe for the populations impacted.

Thats like saying America is not United States, we know that :)
While geographically correct of course, politically and economically USA with its 50 states is the center of gravity in North America
just like like EU with its 27 states is center of gravity in Europe
I know, the problem is if you are a business from outside this island you are going to be spooked by all that nonsense
Why would anyone setup shop in NI if they have no certainty that NI's unique access to UK and EU markets wont be shredded up by numpties who still think its the 17th century
We have Proportional Representation single transfereable vote system in Ireland and its great, as it forces formation of coalitions to actually represent a majority of population (hence less alienation), allows small parties and independents to potentially join governing coalition (Greens at moment for example), forces parties to compromise and drop more extreme policies.
As for the left / right divide in USA, from our point of view your two main parties are well on the right wing out there
