They do? A large number of Canadian universities offer co-op, either optional or integrated into their programs.

Wow, in the course of this HN thread I went from learning about Caddy, to deciding against using it. Definitely not cool to immediately threaten legal action almost instantly after forking. Definitely not cool to force a header. I'll b

Totally. I bought my license in 2013 and just realized that I didn't even have to pay the 3.0 license upgrade fee! I have used Sublime daily for almost 5 years now and I almost feel guilty for paying so little. I'd be more than ha

Someone hasn't had their coffee yet. We do have top-tier universities (UBC, University of Toronto, UWaterloo), who have produced outstanding research and individuals who went on to do great work abroad and developing here at home. We&#

I can just imagine an employees quarterly performance review. "Mark you've done a great job this quarter, though I can't help but notice that you drive to work and aren't enrolled in our employee delivery program. It is

I've always looked for companies that offer flexible working options. My employer has a default of being in-office but allows for flexible hours (like working 7 - 3, or splitting my day) and allows for occasional remote work. In return

I'm the same way, no reason to trust that any of their new products will stick around. I only use their most common products: Calendar, Mail, Maps, and Search. I don't want to have to invest in migrating platforms every year or tw

Surprisingly Tru64 only reached end-of-life in December of 2012, with the last release happening in 2010. Depressingly, some of the modern software I write at work is required to be compatible with Tru64 5.0 as some of our customers are sti

Agreed, we were stuck using Oracle at my job and it's an pain to maintain. Their cloud solutions are awful and on-premises suffered greatly. Their database engine might be solid, but everything around it was terrible. Things like PL&#x

I called Royal Bank of Canada to update some information, at their normal phone prompt I entered my client card number as usual. After reaching an agent they automatically used my voice to authenticate me, foregoing any security questions o

Using BDXL seems like a pretty good solution. Most of this data is archival and existing data is very unlikely to change. You can use HDD/SSD as a buffer as users upload data, and then optimize the packing to ensure you're using a

I wonder what terrible things were averted by killing off Google Reader.

That is an incredibly well documented guide. I develop monitoring software and am part of an active on call roster so I've seen both sides. I'm surprised how much information overlaps.

For me, I frequently use multiple ports and the reduction to 2 USB ports for the non-touch MBP2016 isn't ideal. Also, the non-touch version still comes with all the associated negatives (still 16GB memory limit, everything still solder

Well their actual mission was the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. Since they were sending hardware to Mars orbit anyways, they decided to try and attempt a landing. The rover was not designed to last very long - 7 days battery. Their actual high

I accepted a counteroffer with mixed results. I was given an offer at a company in Europe which pretty closely matched my salary and perks. It came with a small pay bump but most importantly, extra vacation time and a solid relocation bonus

Where do you live that you are having these problems? I was able to find a family doctor within a month of searching and reading reviews. Granted I'm based in a major city (Ottawa), but I was normally directed to other physicians when

When there are numerous alternatives to GitHub why would I continue to use them? Clearly they were not putting the time and effort in to both train their employee and review the content (simply reading the sentence would give context), why

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while, definitely tongue-in-cheek poking fun at design.

So far Sqitch has been an absolute nightmare for production deployments, particularly if you have to change something in history before a tag occurs. Not to mention merging, which invariably always generates a conflict in the plan file.
