So you've been working since 20? That sounds like 8 years experience to me. Maybe you just need to sell it differently.

I bet you pay more tax than them too for the benefit of doing all their work. But the world needs more babies! Um... no it doesn't.

I know a bunch of people from the UK moved to Spain because of various reasons. They are earning less, but enjoy the other parts of life there.

How many releases before JSON/JSONB support becomes stable? Looks like a lot of changes in this area. It also looks like a lot of performance improvements have arrived. With the article the other day about how an intern found a 4x spee

The bench. That's what it's called at some companies. I've seen it at maybe seven companies. Not every place I've been at, but a good portion. Agencies, or studios where project work is common. You do a project, and then

CPython is the implementation that 98% of the market uses, but you are partially correct for that other 2%. You are also wrong for CPython which does NOT require the garbage collector to be on, and DOES release the file in a deterministic w

For files python[0] does not need an explicit with to close the file. It gets closed when references reach zero. [0] For the pedants repeating each other in the replies... Where by python, I mean the implementation that 98% of people use, c

Yeah, it depends. How much memory bandwidth do you use with each? Are the results useful incrementally? What else do you have to do on the machine? If this is the only task, and you don't care about power use, then using all resources

Yeah, good point. There's a lot of cheap VPS hosts which only do protocol 6. For many purposes, that is just fine.

It's right in the app store guidelines, you can't make an app launcher thing. The guideline describes exactly this. 10.4 Apps that create alternate desktop/home screen environments or simulate multi-App widget experiences wil

The claim not much has changed can be substantiated by reading the article, and by looking in CVS. Modern code review tools provide public conversation of the code in question, and allow people to sign off on it. Is LibreSSL doing this? How

Where is their release plan? The files don't say alpha anywhere. Version control matters when you don't know who actually made the change. Are the changes signed? No. Besides, my main point was a lack of openness about code review

So... * it's broken on other platforms * they broke features in their releases (no QA/testing?) * they're making a new API based on requirements of their own programs that doesn't provide many of the OpenSSL features. *

Larch is a visual programming environment. http://www.larchenvironment.com/ The author also makes a procedural 3D modeler ( http://gsculpt.sourceforge.net/ ). You should definitely check both of them out, and

We should put pulseaudio in the init too. That never crashes.

systemd should really include pulseaudio, and nginx. Oh, it already has a httpd in there.

This is a brilliant tool for those of us who test JavaScript. A bit of a hack, but it seems to work. It's also a reason why browsers should allow some sort of tracing API for JavaScript. I know V8 and Firefox do not expose the interfac

You may not need joins, but someone else May. Someone else likely Will in my experience. Or I will, when a new requirement comes in.
