Good to hear, I’ve honestly been wondering how US folks would be received moving to Canada.
Various estimates do put me at nearly a 50% pay cut. Which, if the CoL doesn’t scale down at least a little bit, could actually put me in a bit of a bind when supporting my wife as well.
That’s if I could actually convince her to consider it, though.
A friend of mine at Tufts was telling me about their ML/comp sco programs falling apart. She’s doing her PhD and was handed a project previously led by a green card holder who fucked off (because yeah why would you stay in a place that clearly doesn’t want you??). Now she’s left managing expectations for a project she didn’t write the codebase for.
And that was BEFORE the recent disappearing of a Tufts student earlier this week.
I’m a productive SWE at a big tech firm and I’m looking pretty seriously at offices in Canada. Better than hoping I don’t get abducted because my voter registration has (D) on it.
Man I remember the last time I successfully played spy as a kid, with the, “turn left/right 170 degrees and backstab” commands you input right as you pass by someone.
Doable by hand, but now I have a cat on my desk at all times and the range of motion requires to whip around that fast isn’t gonna happen.
I mean in this case it was their company at the start. Like they get (or got) money from it in a way that the usual developer doesn’t. And in this case it’s because of a shitty, greedy action we have a pretty easy solution to. That being piracy.

Did you read the comment? It’s not about LEO satellites. It’s about a military arsenal destroying a fleet of LEO satellites. The satellites won’t do a Kessler, but a fleets worth of shrapnel would be a problem.
Calling 2017 “vintage” is animal behavior. Rodents do that when they’re going through your garbage.
Yooooo that’s actually awesome. If they hit Apple next that’d get even better.
The play store has some weird security items attached to it that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted. I’d love if Google was forced to drop stuff like that to retain users.
Hamas is reported to have killed 1400 in it’s initial attack. Nearly 3x that number of just children have died in Palestine in this genocide.
If you split the north and south into two provinces, they’d vote at odds with eachother enough to be controlled.
Combine that with some good ol gerrymandering by creeping your provinces down into the US, you’d chip away at US votes enough I can’t imagine it’d really be a huge issue.
