As someone who's recently been back on the market for office space, I find it enlightening as to how much of the revenue and/or funding for a company has to go for rents in SF. $58/SF is massive. Imagine a small startup tha

We had done this at a previous company I had started (with others). We were over 200 people at the time (~ 75 developers), and had created a situation where there were serious clashes between the "start-up guys" (who preferred to

This is one reason why I really like Doxygen, in the areas where it's supported. It's not only very easy to generate easy-to-read documentation for the code while writing it (specialized comments, with operators to call out speci

Interesting, I'm wondering how Qt types make porting more difficult? My experience has been that if I only used standard-C and Qt types, I had no issues in porting. A recent project I worked on only had a handful of platform checks (a

Depending on your history, and how your merchant account is backed, you may in fact also be required to hold a cash reserve with the merchant bank. Holding all, or a percentage of transaction funds is called a "rolling reserve,"

Indeed, I can't tell how inflation doesn't happen either - some people said above it wouldn't happen unless the government prints money, but that seems to be a very limited view of how inflation happens. Obviously, if some pe

To be fair, if you speak about racism in America, it's not based on nationality, but on well, race... The data for Switzerland is not categorized by race in that document, and I can tell from the list of source countries, the vast majo

An increase in the marketable value of the land is considered an increase in income in such a model. (In fact, it -is- treated as an increase in income, just like the federal government in the US treat the distribution of restricted stock

How does this financially make sense? I'm neither an economist nor a mathematician, but how do you give a tax credit to everyone earning money (giving them $30k from the government is largely equivalent to eliminating $30k in taxes for

Wait, so Adobe doesn't deserve to make decisions about how it wants to sell its products? I'm confused here - are you advocating that companies give up control over their own delivery mechanisms? We can argue as to whether or n

Alas, here in Texas, it's illegal[1] to call yourself a Software Engineer without a PE certification. The decision came out in 1998/99, and you should've seen everyone scramble to change their business cards. You can't e

I have a feeling that you did not read the article at all. As it clearly states, nearly 44% of global currency trades are USD. Showing a 1.1% rise over the past three years, whereas the Euro is at nearly 17%, showing a 2.8% drop over the p

Yeah, I don't think low-cost 3D printing is yet where it needs to be for this purpose - but PLA definitely is the wrong choice. I wonder if the sinterized metal/ceramic printers have higher resolution. (Admittedly, I have little k
