It's not really a guess. Anyone who worked with power constrained devices would tell you it's because of polling. If I told you the biggest culprit is component xyz, that would be a guess.

The short answer is polling. There's nothing better at draining a battery than infinite loops waiting for something to happen. I bet Windows have too many of those, remnant from the days where power consumption didn't matter becau

The word you are looking for is retention. You have to work on improving it. The basic idea is to get user's email address, twitter handle etc and remind him to come back to your site every now and then. You have to be careful with thi

The current government is pretty hostile towards immigration. If you are not an EU citizen or married to one, your chances of getting a work visa from the US is slim. There are strict quotas and companies try to use theirs for top candidate

So, playing the devil's advocate for a bit here, are the agile companies without managers delivering consistently better results than companies with managers? Companies grasp one thing quite easily and it's their bottom line. Mayb

Toss a coin. VPS offerings are more or less a commodity nowadays. The price difference is ignorable for a person at first world income levels? Linode is a full cup of coffee price more expensive than Ocean over a month. The specs will be ex

You'd better post this to the monthly freelancer topic. If every freelancer did this, it can get out of hand pretty quickly.

I had the impression that financial sector was taking a while to catch up with the times. Is the work interesting?

Define front end. If you mean designing pixel perfect HTML pages, that market is shrinking quite rapidly. Expect a long time on the bench. If you mean Backbone/Angular/framework of the day, that one is booming. Uploading your CV t

The rule of thumb was if your earnings are over £30K per annum, you set up your own company. Otherwise you stick with an umbrella company. Finding a good accountant is the first thing you should do if you go by setting up your own company.

But he still wastes your time. There's nothing wrong in walking away from a business if the terms do not suit you. On time payment is just another clause in the contract, I expect it to be honoured.

If the client is consistently behind payments, I leave them at the first opportunity. If I were you I would focus on creating those opportunities.

How much of the German economy is dependent on auto industry? Sure, it's the most visible but it's not the backbone of the economy.

You have to understand the reason why the company is hiring. If they are looking for a specialist, that's because of a pressing need. They probably exhausted their network and now are throwing money at the problem by a job ad. When hir

UKs house prices are high by design. Germany, another European country, does not have that kind of price levels for property. It's not the speculators or billionaires, it's the governments.

The last time I was there, I was not able to make good use of breaks to network. It was simply too crowded and it felt quite random. Could you create something like interest points in the room?

I don't know about those type of jobs, but generally such a poor response rate is always a sign of a poor CV. It might be the picture, the way it's written, laid out or the choice words for certain thins. I'd recommend findin
