I read r/financialindependence from time and time, and it's not uncommon for me to read about people who have nothing to do at their job . From their account, they ask for more work, but nothing comes, and they spend their days r

Wow, those are really low numbers. I'm pretty confident you can fetch very similar salaries in Montreal, and housing is 3-5 times cheaper? Or even more? I (and about 50 of my developer coworkers) make those sort of salaries here in sma

FWIW, recent releases of Tcl have built-in dicts (hash tables), which greatly improve over the old "associative arrays". What I missed the most when doing Tcl was support for first class functions / closures. JimTCL seems to

Hilly just means you get your exercise in a shorter amount of time ;) Assuming the point is exercise, of course. Bike commuting and utilitary cycling in hilly areas can be more of a challenge, but I'm assuming that if we are comparing

In traditional Quebec cuisine, people would save the fat rendered from pork roast, then spread it on toast the next morning. Not many people do it anymore. I had it once and am not a fan, it had a strong garlic taste from the roast.
