As long as you're already in London, I suppose the best way would be to start working for a company on-site and then make an arrangement to continue the collaboration remotely (assuming they do remote at all). It's always better i

I think it's going to be a war of lobbies, with "traditional" automotive companies spreading FUD, and insurance companies pressuring for faster adoption. It's worth mentioning - which I already hinted at in another comme

"Common" as in you that you get to see some every day and people don't bat an eyelid anymore? Or "common" as in being the majority of vehicles. My bet on the first one would be like 10-15 years, the other - 30+.

I didn't say I think that. If anything, I hinted at it as a possibility worth considering (not phrased as extremely as "US jobs are generally laid back"). It should be looked into if you want to put things in perspective. In

The number of hours doesn't tell the whole story though. Working cultures differ a great deal. You may put in longer hours, but then it's more laidback, with more socializing etc. whereas somewhere else it's clock-in, work, c

I can't really argue because it was a while ago, but if I recall some of them were considered critical and you could postpone them time and time again, but not really disable them Plus I wasn't really opposed to safety updates as

Back in the Windows XP days, there was a way of halting forced updates by killing a certain process. I had it as a simple batch file on my desktop. Every time it would come up with "your PC gets restarted in 15 minutes", I'd

I fear that once I start a task, it will turn out it's more complex than I thought, and therefore unpleasant (the bad scenario). So it's kind of like your point #2, but indirectly.

Makes sense, that's a solid approach. No nesting or any other nonsense. But clearly it takes quite some bootstrapping in order to make this functionality solid (as it should be out of the box)...

I don't even know; I imagine at that point there wasn't many developers left around still willing to go down that route. As an Android dev I'm in the camp that steers clear of Fragments out of principle, if only possible.

"Most" isn't probably true, but the number was quite significant, indirectly confirmed by Microsoft by backing down from some design decisions in version 8.1 (bringing the Start button back) and 10 (restoring the more traditi

And then there are nested fragments and all the caveats associated with them, but it's all good, it just requires some simple fixes everyone could come up off the top of their head, like http://stackoverflow.com/a/

I believe you, but Android Studio has come a long way since. I agree it was abysmal at first - when it didn't crash, every new update would break compatibility and your projects wouldn't build anymore etc. Right now it's pret

Willing ? Or able? You're saying it makes a difference in the ability itself. In either case this argument - well, it's not even much of an argument, merely a belief - is so absurd to me that frankly I can't believe you&#x27

I do understand that as far as the social aspect goes, still I think that a white computer geek has much more in common with an Asian or black computer geek than with - say - an average white truck driver, and obviously the same applies to

What does it prove? Not everyone is an independent developer / single-person software house. The way it goes, more often than not, is that people write apps for various companies and then these apps don't get published under their

There can always be exceptions, I agree. And these are much better points that in the commented article, imho. Anyhow, we're talking averages here - the default mindset, if you will.
