This is actually an argument I had a couple of times in groups of new parents, almost every single time with American expatriate families. They seem absolutely terrified of SIDS in a way that none of the other Europeans or 3rd worlders I know are. And it sucks because some of the "precautions" make it very difficult to take care of a small baby sometimes.

You don't need to be "famous". I know of one girl I went to uni with who started doing porn. She isn't really famous or big (although I am sure she has a decent income with some business acumen), but pretty much every common acquaintance seems to know about this. Especially very difficult to escape if you make content in any other language than English since such markets are rather small.

I read Snow Crash recently and thought it was wacky but quite fun. Also metaverse. Is this a similar book?

As parent of a child who will start school in a couple years, this started to worry me. Any good resources from mottizens to learn about what traps to look out for when checking out schools?

The early adoption on woke maps almost perfectly to the English language capabilities of the population in Europe. Germans aren't the worst but also not particularly good at English so it has noticeably lagged a bit.

Germans being Germans, are getting a bit late onto this new ideological train but they will soon show the world what peak woke taken to all its full logical conclusions can really look like. An impressive group of people.

"How the hell they would try to make a movie out of this" novels are pretty much the only reason I still read literary fiction. It is an incredible feeling when you realize you are witnessing something that could only be told on paper and no other way.
Professional Rust developer here.
First of all, congratulations on getting paid to write Rust code without actually liking it. In my experience this was quite difficult to achieve so everyone around me really likes Rust a lot.
Borrow checker is honestly one of the hot topics about Rust that always confuses me, because I almost never have problems with it apart from some very small edge cases. Meanwhile people online seem to base half their Rust experience on the borrow checker. May I ask you what sort of programming did you do?
I will fight you to death about the mut keyword. It is absolutely fantastic and it pushes you in a more functional way of programming.
But this can be achieved easily with like a 10 line wrapper type around Mutexes in your codebase?
Anyway I used to write C code and switched to Rust without brushing much with C++ so it has been a gigantic improvement in all ways. But honestly I fail to see why anyone would prefer C++ at this point for new projects (except for gamedev where shipping something buggy and fun trumps correctness by a lot).
