Do you mean it's a bad thing about the law? Or is a bad thing that is seeing the sunlight due to the law?
Companies are already doing layoffs and hiring offshore. They dont care about you or me or anybody but profits.

Things will estabilize at some point and it's better for 99% of people if there are pro-workers laws in place by then.

How does that vary from Java?

I'd love if interfaces worked as in typescript.

As long as the object signature matches the interface as parameter then you can use it.

Very hard?

I worked on a tool that generated PDFs based on API responses. The tool added charts from the api data.

Those PDFs were reports with some hardcoded text.

Yesh what a fun ride that was.

> then there are solutions for that

Painless solutions like email/phone call where you explain why you are extending your stay?

Or painful solutions where you need to go to an office, find somebody who gives a shit about actually doing their job?

Spending time doing what? Killing mobs? For what purpose?

Killing mobs should be a means to an end like cosmetics/achievements/trophies and those usually give you bragging's rights.

So ok, all zones are viable to spend time in D4. What do you gain with that?

Local newspapers are vital for towns/cities.

Sadly no one wants to buy the papers.

Do no expect common sense from IT companies. Google is even worse.

It's pretty normal to ban people instead of trying ro fox the issue. It's probably cheaper to them.

We have no rights and no protection from corporations other than "Do business somewhere else"

The author did try.

From the post:

Writing for the market was their second attempt at trying to make money.
