I'm actually interested to know what kind of developer gets the job. And also, what was he/she thinking when accepting the job, was it out of necessity? because he/she liked the interview process? (I'm asking seriously)

I also find it completely strange that here in the US people tend to use feet as a sub-division of miles, but the mile/foot relation is not trivial: 1 mile == 5280 feet. And why would you need so many units for length? mile, yard, feet, inc

Some time ago, during the winter we went to visit the Atacama Desert with my wife (she was born there). We rented a small car and my wife told me "are you sure this will work at 4,000 meters high? (13,100 feet)" - we were going to be travel

I was able to get one like 5 or so minutes ago. Took me a while and lots of phantom items in the shopping cart. But I already got the confirmation email.

I was approached by the same sellers in a mall. I got the exact same samples of "dead cells" cream. It was a lady the one that gave me the samples. Very convincing. If it wasn't because I was with my wife at the time, who happens to be a pe

That doesn't mean at all that it worked. All that information means is that Chile, now is in a good position relative to the rest of Latin America . Taking conclusions and saying that the reason Chile is the way it is now is due to the U

I'm sorry... are you actually saying that the intervention in Chile "worked"? What do you actually mean by "worked"? If you mean "they fixed the economy only after screwing it up themselves" then that's called "cleaning your own mess" and n

There's also a cultural thing about this: failing is often looked as a bad thing in Chile (maybe South America). This is slowly changing, but we still need to inject the idea that failing is just part of the learning process. About the empi

earthquakes are not a huge deal... unless you want to live in a coast city (and not because of the earthquake, but the tsunami), which you probably won't because most of the business are made in Santiago. Constructions regulations in Chil

I agree with you. And I also feel a bit offended with the parent comment. If you're not an immigrant trying to overcome all the hoops and doing ridiculously steps to try to stay "legal" in order to pursue your goals then you probably don't

I've been on both sides of the fence: being interviewed and interviewing. The times I've been interviewed I felt (most of the times) that either the person questioning me had no complete understand of what he/she was asking --it could be po

The way I see it, they're not trying to profit from the console, but from the App ecosystem: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-... IMO, The kickstarter campaing is to raise enough money to produce a lot of consol

That's about right. For less you wouldn't get someone that could help you, unless you just need to setup a simple web page (html + css?)

The average salary for a good web developer should be around $1500 - $2000. By good I mean someone with a CS degree from a good local university (U. of Chile, U. Catolica or UTFSM). If you pick a about-to-graduate or a recent grad you cou

I just tried running the code in an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.5 - got a invalid selector (_setWebGLEnabled). Worked just fine with an iTouch 4gen with iOS 5 though... Has anyone tested this on a device with iOS 4.2+?
