Take the job and find a cheap place where to sleep in the same city as your workplace. And after a while, if things go well, ask for a weekly day to telecommute.

The most likely scenario is the government will spend fighting for its own survival until the next elections take place. War was not going to stop regardless of the outcome. Hell, FARC attacked a polling station just today.

As I'm living in Colombia, I'm glad to see this disastrous agreement was rejected by the majority of voters. It was a lot closer than I thought, and while the government, almost every political party and the media were all pushing

I evaluated React Native for a project and decided to go with NativeScript instead for a number of reasons: 1. RN releases a new version every 2 weeks breaking my app every time. NS is a lot more conservative between releases. 2. I don&#x27

I suggest NativeScript as an alternative that's very similar in scope but far more mature, definitely not a platform-of-the-month. The latest version is built on top of TypeScript and Angular 2 instead of React Native like Exponent. I

While not exactly what you're looking for, The Definitive Guide to SQLite takes you from writing a SELECT statement all the way to an overview of SQLite internals. O'Reilly also published a booklet called Inside SQLite that goes a

I've made a career out of remote work (10+ years working remotely), and I have to say this is a pretty poor article. No, remote work is not for everyone, you need to know what you are doing at both ends or it'll not match your exp

I've always recommended this book too. It's one of the few books that tries to teach (functional) programming instead of a particular language, although obviously you learn Haskell along the way.

Reminds me of something one of my Economics professors said once: An Economist is just a mediocre Engineer, an Engineer is a a real bad Physicist, a Physicist nothing but a bad Mathematician, and a Mathematician the lowest form of Philosoph

It's because there's a clear mathematical relationship between the price someone is willing to rent, the prevailing interest rate and the price a property is worth. As an owner, you don't want that information to get out.

None, abstract the functionality of your app into a cross-platform library and build a native GUI for each platform you support using that platform's native SDK.

Actually the peace process of the M19/UP of the 1980s is a chilling precedent of what will happen in Colombia if this agreement goes on: The government may grant immunity to the FARC, but their victims will not forget nor forgive. Peac

I'm living in Colombia, and my perception is most people want the agreement rejected and the President impeached. There's going to be a referendum on the agreement, and in spite of the government being heavily campaigning for it,

As I said, it's been a few years. But Santa Cruz is a dump, and not comparable in any way to Buenos Aires. Lima has both very good areas, where the cost of living is very high, and horrendous areas (most of the city, actually). The onl

Not only that, it is also higher than $144k in SF. And by quite a margin. Buenos Aires is actually one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, of all Latin American capitals. I haven't been there in a few years, but the difference betwee

Hey Italians, don't take this the wrong way, but maybe the problem is not Italy, because I've done consulting for Italian companies at much higher rates than that. Granted, this was in 2009, but I was billing back then over 1500€
