That is REALLY interesting! Quite a useful and nice way to work with tax. What does the percentage increase to in the following year? It is a shame that the UK does not have anything like this. The best you can hope for is to contract and t

Thanks for the reply and the info provided. My personal opinion regarding the ability to move from a bad economy is that this is not always as easy as it looks. Even if you are european with an EU passport you are very likely to come up aga

Thank you very much for the reply. Yes if you move to (or live) in an area in europe that is cheaper than say London, Paris or the other big cities (and most places in Scandinavian :) ) then this is an option. At the moment really good dev

Mind me asking where most of their clients are located as well as themselves?

That is true however it is a very far cry from adequate unbiased reporting. We get lengthy pieces on the "usual suspects" but a mere token gesture for the elite of other countries.

I really hope that this does happen. I would like to see unbiased reporting about all of the information instead of selective reporting.

Yes I saw that however you cannot have the mention of his father be seen as adequate reporting on the misdeeds of the elite.

Am I the only one to find the reporting on this to be rather one sided? Sure we all know Putin is a shady character to say the least, but none in the US or the UK being directly reported on? Germany? France? Instead we get a token gesture i

It becomes even more of a challenge when you compare pure Hadoop against cloud native solutions such as Google Big Query. The costs of running your own Hadoop clusters on AWS, Azure or GCP is much higher than what using cloud native solutio

This is quite a harsh analysis but not too far from the truth. The limitations placed on H1Bs and the fact that you are really easier to exploit is one of the main reasons I have chosen in the past to go to a different country for work. If

You are spot on! For what you pay for top $$ products they fall WAY short of what is required. If you do end up doing a write up please send me the link. I sometimes feel like the only person in the room that can see the end result just bei

I have been working in Business Intelligence for almost a decade now and you are spot on with you comment. Every BI tool sells an entire ecosystem with it that ties the purchasing organisation into the platform. It is shocking to see that n

On the WiFi issues I have noticed that when using a normal 2.4GHz router in combination with any Bluetooth mouse, keyboard etc. causes lots of issues for me. Typically I would be getting really slow speeds and intermittent disconnects. Swit

Slack is definitely a better option than Facebook at Work in my opinion. Social networks are a time suck at best and marketing one to an enterprise is simply inviting cynicism and negativity from those people that actually have work to do (

I could not agree more! To me it seems that most of what is happening today is an exhausting chase by some developers to fill their CV / Resume with the latest buzz word technology, resulting in a shallow understanding of deep fundamen

It looks like the HMCR in the United Kingdom have got some potentially disastrous ideas about targeting freelancers, independent contractors and consultants. If this legislation gets pushed through it will create an almost unworkable soluti

I have not noticed any service interruption at all. Well done in handling this attack! This is just one more reason why I will remain a loyal FastMail customer.

The level of damage you will inflict on functioning eco-systems by "engineering" predators out of the equation will be truly catastrophic. What you might not realise is that by removing predators you will also have to change each

What on earth is wrong with us humans? We seem to hunt animals to extinction for nothing more than a trinket manufactured from them! It has no life saving medicinal value or any such other kind of intrinsic value. One day our children will

Yes py2exe and freeze etc. I agree the tooling for python is very good and I find the community to be one of the better ones as you have mentioned. Coming from a pure Microsoft background, and that not being C# but databases and cubes, I fi

I have never heard of haxe, it sounds very interesting and I will definitely have a look at it. I have noticed that JavaScript seems to have never ending support. Strangely I have never been tempted to go full JavaScript, probably due to me

Thank you very much for the feedback. If I may ask, how do you tackle the short comings of the language such as battling with "freezing" an application to work from an executable on windows? I find myself bashing my head against t
