Well, it's a matter of knowing a few people most of the time; a few agents you can 'trust', and then a small pool of returning clients who'll ask you to do stuff once a year or so... The networking is always important, e

My reply to the 'our company is doing so well, you will ALSO do very well once you bed in' is to remind them that most notable pay rises you ever get during your career is when you switch job. So negotiate your pay NOW because for

Strange, I have the reverse! Carrying to many heavy loads when I was stupid/young means that standing is actually quite a lot more tiring for me. I can walk for miles without problems, but /standing/ for a few minutes is real

That's what I do -- any page that tries to 'engage' me into signing up for their newsletter (or other clickbait to force me to click on their page before reading anything) get closed immediately instead. Likewise with autopla

Whats even more bizare is that its been published that most of the 'clicks' and returns from ads are completely fake, generated from clickbots, so that whole 'industry' is spinning on thin air. That's why most websi

Well 45/55k is /cheap/ for a senior dev. Unless you work for a bank/inner london (or google) all you can hope for is perhaps 65k, at the top... So yeah, if you want more, the only way is to sell off and 'manage&#x27

On a side note, I clicked the 'subscribe' button to check that offer of £5 for 3 issues. It looks legit, but the 'interesting' bit is that you are forced to use a direct debit to get that offer. Yeah, right, I'm so

That's why I stopped browsing from my phone and tablet. Completely. I read some headlines, and if I remember, I read them again using the desktop browser.

As a french programmer, since I'm about 12, and expatriate for about 20 years, I learned long ago that: 1) I needed a qwerty keyboard do I don't develop RSI trying to type braces on a french one. 2) I also decided that getting RSI

I still use a Bronica S2A from 1969! Leather and chrome, and the shutter makes the sound of slamming a car door; but it made me fantastic images since I got it, and I have 80x80cm prints that are absolutely gorgeous, using a Nikkor 50mm f3.

I've seen the process many times, for many 'cheap' chinese produts. They first design (or more often copy) a product, then they start removing the bits that 'aren't needed' -- like filtering caps and so on; som

I have the same problem, my domain name from 1994 or something -- they make it unbelievably hard to transfer, and have charged me a little fortune in 'fees' for 'late renewals' and other completely bogus claims. Bunch of

Well, I found several jobs using linkedin, so for me, it works. You have to be a bit harsh on accepting links with people you don't know, but I can't complain... And there's the odd funny joke too -- once I got a job offer fo

Had had a good play with that lib earlier on debian, it's pretty cool! Very lightweight (considering) and I tossed it a few pictures of stuff, and it's quite impressive. I particularly liked my eBay shopping history. Didn't l

Not really. for all intent and purpose, the AVR peripherals are very limited. Yes they are easy to use etc, but they are VERY limited -- no FIFO on any of the serial interfaces for example... There are much, much better IP to do these kind

Well there still is a case for the AVR -- you get zero pipelining effects, no flash latency etc; it's like a tiny, slow, scalar CPLD for all intent and purpose. Cortex can't beat that, you can tight loop an AVR to cycle precision

I agree that in an ideal world, it would work like that; however in most companies, 'programmers' are hired, rarely as 'juniors' and sometime are moved across the company to a new team, who then realize they are... err .
