   Just out of curiosity, do you mind sharing some info about your circumstances? - what kind of job? - which country / state / etc? - what hobbies, especially sports do you have? - what exactly is the problem with your old schedule?

   This is me. Made some money myself, made a lot for bigco's, and constantly feeling that literally anyone else is better at writing software, actual programs than I am. Also see: imposter syndrome :-)

   To my mental health what contributed most is to volunteer at a NON-TECH position. YMMV I was on a SE-Asia trip when I fell in love with a small town here; my organize trip was so bad I decided to abandon it. Found out there is a half-pruvat

   Many of the comments here insist on housing prices. I'm a Zurich local for the 7th year and would like to put this into perspective. Sharing a flat here is something many younger single people do, but even for the older generation is n

    Of all the interviews I've been to, I felt the most uncomfortable at Google. I was surprised how obvious it was that many Googlers are stuck-up, full of themselves, not just the aforementioned person. Just because, they are Googlers. D

    This happens everywhere; The superstar software developer (no) who knows everything (no) gets to interview you, and sometimes they are simply not right. Your story reminds me my ~7th (?) interview with Google where for LRU caching I menti

    Off: Hungarian here. It's quite easy for us to hold a low Erdős number (mine is 4 I think), but interestingly the majority of Hungarians have no idea who he was and why hos work was significant. That's a pity.

    Problem is, it's not paper. It's called [Tetra pack][1], and contains both paper, plastic and metal. Physical separation is virtually impossible (at scale), chemical separation is very environment-unfriendly. Unfortunately in Swit

    F in FOSDEM stands for free. In my eyes, one of FOSDEM's goals is to legitimize FLOSS software for any software use-case. Also in my eyes, lack of professionalism (or the intent of improve) undermines legitimization efforts. Thus, with

    You missed the "pixel by pixel navigation" part. There are obviously a plethora of use cases (mostly graphic design software, games, etc) where a pointing device would benefit far much better. OTOH I would love to see a vim-like e

    Well, Windows (and all window-based, graphical UI) encourages you to use the _mouse pointer_ with it's clumsy properties like navigating a visual field and upon locating an interactive element, using at most 5 different action buttons
