@elssar: Yes, my company actually pays based on what the developer is worth and pays the same amount for same work across the world. >I personally would take it, just because I feel it's a better place to live and work. This is what

Thanks for the answer. Yes, cultural experience is not my priority right now though I like visiting from time to time and interact with diverse individuals.

Yeah, everyone wants to process their queue as fast as possible but "as fast as possible" practically means a cap on the maximum allowed delay. Otherwise, why stop at 30 workers? Go for 300. 3000? Also, if the workers shared all t

Yeah, unless you resolve that, it's just a matter of time before you get compromised again.

I'm right now working on the type of code you've mentioned. I have 5000 lines long classes in Ruby and arcane names for methods and variables. The person who hired me warned me that it'll be a very frustrating experience but

I learnt more about ruby internals through this post and the comments thereupon than I had learnt in the whole of last year's sporadic reading. Thanks everyone for sharing all the links!

This is awesome! Is it a drop-in replacement for gdb? The docs seem to suggest so but just wanted to know if there are any fine prints.

Thanks for this lesson! As much as I love using Redis, this learning will help me way more than Redis has done.

Is there a way to get this book in a single column format rather than the default 2-column format? Reading a 2-column book is extremely difficult for me :(

I am tired and bored of reading these rants on HN. Why don't Americans just give themselves a spring?

could you plz specify why not? I mean if I apply and get interviewed and do a trial project only to be told at the end that I am not young enough, I'd be very disappointed. Isn't it better to mention upfront that they need someone

This completely blew my mind. One of the most clever algorithms and implementation that I have seen in the recent times. It was like seeing Radix sort for the first time and realizing that sorting still works even if you sort by least signi

I totally get it now. With vast majority of HN users being Americans, there is just one comment on this post about trampling the innocent and that is a quote! No wonder the rights and freedoms of the common men of west are being subjugated

I think you have covered most of the factors already but I wanted to recount my experience here to give everyone an idea of the kind of Indian programmers who get hired. I used to work for a MNC who had an office in Bangalore and had good r

I think I was in a really fortunate position when I was able to negotiate this at my second company. Interestingly, at my first company, asking an existing employee to take the written tests in the specified time-frame was a standard practi

Why not start such a site yourself? Even if you are unable to dive too deep, you can leave questions and people can answer. OTOH, I think SO covers a lot of ground if you have questions. I also like the annotated source code movement in the

OP has mentioned that 'search' is not a noun and hence can't be modeled as a resource. First of all, 'search' can be used as a noun in the sense of quest/query - 'His search for the Holy Grail was fruitful.' Secondly, we happen to have a mu

I checked out your link but read something disturbing there: "...during non-work hours, they are expected to respond within 3 hours." This, I think, goes totally against my reason to seek freelance work - work on my own time. I'm sorry but

I have some validation finally. I have called this approach frontend-first and have evangelized it internally in my teams. But NoBackend is, catchy. Basically, I rally my team to build up as much functionality as they possibly can w/o writi
