The basics might not be that hard, but you can be pretty sure that Shazam has perfected the tech in 15 years of operation while aquiring hundreds of millions of users in the process. Apple also has more money than anyone, it might just make

IBM has 400k employees and god knows how many subsidiaries and divisions, do you really think you can paint them all with one brush because of some negative experience you had with one of their products ?

I have recently talked to some HR people and been looking myself, so that is just the feeling that i got. You mean the Google Campus in Kreuzberg ? Will they really employ a lot of people there ? Sounded more like something similar to the F

In Germany employee costs are roughly 1.5x of gross, i would guess it's similar in Spain.

yes i am sure those salaries are possible for certain specialties in high demand, but in this case we are talking about Senior Web Developers. I think for pure devs without a lead or other management role, it's hard to get more than 75

You pay salary in regards to the market the employee is in, not where the company is located. Google/Facebook have a lot of offices in the EU and pay competitive salaries, but they are still a lot lower than in SF obviously.

yeah thought the same. 100k USD is next to impossible for a web developer in Berlin for example, and salaries for devs in Barcelona are considerably lower than here, maybe a max of 80k USD. That guy is living like a king.

not sure if that's a viable alternative for the web. It will most likely consume more computing resources which makes it hard on mobile and the responsive web goes out of the window. It can make sense for certain interactive elements t

If you write all the rendering yourself, you can just output to a canvas but that kind of defeats the purpose. Having a JS layer for WebGL that calls into WEBASM for calculations etc should work fine though.

afaik you can not just take a C++ blob, compile to WebASM and be done. Your business logic can be there, but the User Interface would still need to be JS and HTML in the end, unless you want your app to just draw to a canvas, but even that

That design is also from 2011, nowadays it looks quite simple but back then i think it had a similar effect on people. Of course it isn't as detailed as the current one, but they are a company that values design a lot (in all areas) an

You can also manually hibernate your instance once you are done with the work for the day. I also suspect you won't need anything like a m4.large for most dev environments but i see that you wanted some equivalent to a macbook pro, so

I like the idea, i just think MD files might be too limited. I really came to enjoy Onenote because it is so easy to put unstructured data, images, links, videos and even draw on top of it all with a stylus but i didn't use it for ever

6S has the A9 processor, the 6 has the A8, maybe that makes enough of a difference for it to not be that bad. I will also try the complete reset though.
