goedemorgen!
Morning!
Yes, the overlords I’m thinking of are, in contrast to the Netherlands, already in an overlord-like position. Everyone has the potential to be like them 🙂
morning
You ask people in Europe where they are from and it immediately descends into imperialism. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
And "where are you from?" can mean "where do you live?" or "where do your family lines originate?" -- in the USA, it nearly always gets answered as the latter question 🙂 Hence I used the 🇬🇧 emoji above but I live in California 🙂
With the added problem of "but where are you really from" if you don't look or sound like people expect
Yes, and that is certainly problematic...
Recently there was a show on Dutch television in which someone went to Norway to ask if 3 million Dutch people could migrate there if the sea rises too heavily. It even made it to Norse television. I think we better invest in good relations with other countries 😨
or learn to swim?
That's one thing Dutch do well: teach kids to swim at a young age. At least in my day, don't know currently ;)
yep my kids are certainly doing that
Here's room for a bunch of people, probably all of you: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/19/sweden-north-green-jobs
Article is a year old but the project number of jobs has only gone up afaik. I guess polar night is better than being under water. 🙂
I’m assuming the Norwegians said “yeah, sure!”
Velkomman allihop!
Are the Netherlands generally close to sea level? I think that if you guys are screwed, so are we. We’re pretty flat.
Well, we can’t be entirely flat. We’ve got loads of beaches where dry land and ocean meet. That implies some height difference to sea level 😄
@U04V15CAJ if you give up this altruistic idea of yours of only working OSS, we could even give you a job ASAP ZULU!
Come to BG we are above sea level for sure
plus our population is rapidly shrinking anyway
Thats one of the reasons we plan to move from the west to the east of the Netherlands.
@U26FJ5FDM any concrete plans yet?
Yes, very concrete. We signed for a newly build house, should be done somewhere in 2024. Part of the project is appartements through, and they have a hard time selling them. So looks like it could be some more months before they start building.
Nope I could work anywhere with an internet connection with my current work. Travel to office actually improves through, instead of the bus, I can go with the intercity train.
Well the company I used to work has it's office there. It's AxonIQ for about half a year now. Which has an 'office' on Utrecht city centre. But only on Tuesdays there are more than a few people.
No Clojure, but pretty nice working for a product company. Large portion of the work is on open source.
No Clojure yet
