Did you know IBM HQ for Europe is in Madrid? They moved here from Paris a year ago.

Barcelona is a bit better in term of salaries than Madrid, where I live. For developers and sysadmins salaries are down 25% or more for the last two years. The reason is there is very little product development here and the main IT employer

That's also the reason supermarkets love contactless (rfid) cards: they reduce the time needed to pay to a half :-)

Fun fact: if you want to click() on something that appears more than once, Sikuli will choose it at random. Some time ago I was demoing a script to my boss and the second time I run it, it clicked on a different place with the same text (an

I use sampling a lot for this stuff because my work usually involves prototyping and for this I usually get a statistically-significant sample from the data. I use this also as test vectors. At this scale you can use whatever you want (ipyt

I agree with that. The Pc is not the default choice when you want technology, but you need one to produce content quickly/with good productivity. The problem with PCs is replacement times have increased and margins went down.

I'm wondering if the higher rate also reflects a higher no-show risk. I mean, you send the car there but cannot load it an cannot contact the client. Does it work like loan classification? Higher risk get higher rates to compensate de

It depends on several factors like country, sector, and who you work. But as you grow older you are forced to either become a manager or sales person. I guess the question is not about age, but wages. In your 20s you still don't know h

A friend told me they decommisioned yesterday their last netcool server. Inside there was still the code that updated priorities and removed old alarms every 293, and 3607 seconds (why 293 and 3607? - because they're primes and very cl

With that traffic you can earn much more selling ad space directly. 250k targeted viewers are great for someone who wants o build a brand.

I bet you can get a similar code from BSD, EMACS, Ingres, or any venerable open source codebase and use it as prior art against that patent claim. Ok, maybe that venerable codebases doesn't have exception handling like Java but you can

This kind of technology could have been great for telcos 10 years ago before virtualization went mainstream. Sadly today servers take a long time to boot (up to 6 minutes) making this ineffective for a baremetal server in that must give fiv

I still remember and miss how fast IDEs can be. Also, if you broke something the runtime error messages were useful, not like the stack trace we have today. There is beauty in having just a single line runtime error.

I understand this because I can't get used to systemd. The learning curve should be better than rc.local for my taste. Problem is systemd helps you booting fast and this is important both in the cloud (where every minute is a billed),

I love my 2nd gen Kindle for having those page turn buttons on both sides. Not just for left or right hande people. Sometimes you want to rest and can't stop reading.

Intesting. ms_hook_prologue inserts 1 8-byte instruction ( lea rsp,[rsp+0x0]) instead of 8 1-byte nops. It executes much faster than 8 nopts if the function is not patched (no need to decode 8 instructions).

In theory, yes. You can copy indefinitely the software but there's always some friction to market adoption and to circumvent that you need marketing, and sales people... which doesn't scale well unless you have a good recurring re

There are also some problems with the battery. If you run enough apps on an android phone, it won't be able to charge the battery. Also people doesn't like their mobile phone to be hot.

Go to freelancer or a similar site and take a look at what people wants to pay for. Browsing there 2-4 hours will help you know where's some demand (with cash) and what you can do to aggregate that demand into an interesting project th
