Living in London is to an extent, a young persons game. Many commentators are talking about being an hour away from people and home. I don't think that's a big problem. Sure it's not easy, I used to live somewhere where i

> winter is cold, rainy, and grey If you're comparing a British winter to a southern hemisphere "winter", sure it's not a great place to be. But for the mostpart, London is actually pretty good for it's winter.

London gets a terrible rep. I come from Wales and the difference in the weather is quite dramatic. Back home in Wales, it probably rains 150 more days than it does in London. I have a leather trench that kept me warm in the winters in Wa

tell that to my Java server that talks to .Net. IMHO you should channel it off and allow for German, French, Spanish, Swedish etc rooms. Closed minded to only have English speaking.

Under the requirements, they have "speak in English". That isn't very European. May as well be called "Talk to fellow silicon roundabout startups". Also, am i the only one who can't wait to get out of the off

This is really nice, I might fork it myself and add to it as I'd like to see some more explanation on certain parts, though it would then become something different.

Surely the test is slightly invalidated by converting an MP3 to wav? surely you would take a master/studio recording and convert that to wav/whatever

@danielweber i agree about what you're saying, but i tend to find that only happens when a recruiter gets their hands on your CV. If you generally allow yourself or HR team to have direct access to the CV's, they tend to know wha

Would you/they discount people who have >5 years experience working for mainstream organisations that might have "grown a software division out of necessity", but no github activity?

by JazCE 13y ago
Fully agree. I wouldn't discount anyone for not having a github project. I have a life outside of work, i enjoy going out and being with friends and family. I spend most of my waking hours during the week at my machine coding, it&#x2

The remarks weren't made with the intent of being cold and insensitive, though i admit i'm not the most sensitive of people. edit: who knew asking about human/cultural behaviour was so frowned upon.

point taken, but it does seem very extreme. did this happen during 9/11? edit Also, are the families of NZ nationals, Australian, French etc behaving the same as the asians?

by JazCE 13y ago
I'm more intrigued by the reaction of the families. Is this a normal reaction from Chinese families?

I'm not a designer, so i speak as a consumer. I disagree with complements on the look of this. I kind of feel it's misisng something, which i can't quite pin down. perhaps it's the look of the maps, that they don'

Would love to hear the reasons why you decided against markdown, it was something I was just discussing at the beginning of the week with my team (who work on news sites).

Ahh awesome. I'm more a lego/technic enthusiast, but don't quite have the space for lego anymore, so I just enjoy reading the lego blogs and seeing other peoples creations.

It'd be nice to see some detailed photos of the rover. I assume the laptop is part of the rover, but it would be great to see beneath the laptop.

I'm from Cardiff, It's a beautiful city and admittedly it does have a few big tech companies to work for. There is a decent polish community there too. However, Cardiff is not a big big city, so it doesn't have hundreds of t

I can understand the case for hiring a recruiter for a small business (what I would consider less than 50 employees), where a HR department might not be a permanent fixture. But when I see recruiters for Fortune 500/50 etc companies,

To all the other commentators, this isn't about wikipedia, this is about a tool that can be used by copyeditors to help them enforce house style and grammar rules. If you work for a magazine publisher, it's likely you have 2 lines
