Shame you clipped the distribution at the top with your ranges. More experienced developers, with financial markets expertise, who are reasonably good at negotiation are making £100+ an hour. More if they have some specialist technical skil

That was exactly my first thought. Something else encouraging as far as internationalisation is concerned is that the company is based in Australia not the US so they are less likely to be blinkered to only their home market.

But it wouldn't feel like flying. It would just feel like you were being held up by the bungee cord. You might as well have the same ride but not actually drop the bungee - sounds safer too.

It's a trade off. Publishers can give you marketing, proof-reading, cover design, book layout, etc. But you get paid much more per book if you self-publish and you have more control over the final product, price, marketing strategy, et

That's not a good thing when you are trying to write absolutely bullet-proof code that will not fall over and can recover / retry robustly. A desktop top app is a good example of this. Network connection gone, disk full, file miss

It doesn't solve the stated aim of having to work out a good time to call someone in a different part of the world. They have the same time (no timezones), but what time of day is OK to call them? They don't work 9-5 they work 3-1

I first realised that an MS in CS was a red flag back in 2000. I was doing a whole ton of interviews and the candidates who had cross-trained to CS from some unrelated discipline by getting an MS were almost universally unable to cut it in

In the article it says that the £98m was the amount spent during the period 2010 to 2012. It also says that the project was taken over by an in-house BBC team in 2010 (having started in 2008). Sounds like that cost can't be blamed on Siemen

It's not limited to 20 bytes. If you can create a 20 byte message why not do that several times to make the message length you want. Specifically, for the blockchain, a transaction sending bitcoins to multiple addresses would do it.

Awareness doesn't imply adoption. What is the incentive for merchants to start accepting litecoin? Why not just bitcoin? Litecoin won't give them lower transaction fees (over bitcoin), it won't give them more customers (anyone who can pay i

The difficulty reaches a maximum when the target hash is 0. If SHA256 is broken so badly that you can calculate a set of inputs to produce a particular output (0 in this case) then bitcoin can't make it any harder. You could mine a block as
