I was born and grew up in NZ, I've lived here for over 30 years, and I've never been robbed either.

Because the report is 215 pages, searching for "satisfaction" doesn't produce anything useful, and most other surveys I've seen use the metrics in that way.

I assume patient satisfaction only takes into account people who managed to become patients, and doesn't include people in the U.S. who needed treatment but couldn't get it.

The U.S. government reported a five-fold increase in the number of electronic media searches at the border in a single year, from 4,764 in 2015 to 23,877 in 2016. It's worth pointing out that this isn't all Trump related, things

This is the reasoning that is used for Clojure - "Clojure is for experts". It's used to rationalise all sorts of design choices that make the language much harder to get started with than (IMO of course) it should be. If you&

Anecdotal of course, but I've travelled to the States multiple times per year in recent years, for work and especially for conferences. I'm planning to avoid the US entirely now since immigration there was already intrusive and un

So are many of the existing underlying JVM features today - most developers don't use them directly. However they do use the features they enable all the time. Personally I think Truffle/Graal are by far the most exciting featur

Have you considered only adding webhooks per-repo, and not globally? I have access to numerous repos that I don't want or need real-time updates from, as well as repos from organisations that have added me which I would really rather n

If only manipulating my child were as easy as solving borrow checker problems. At least the borrow checker tells you what you're doing wrong.

I quit the job after ~2 months, which I'd consider more or less turning it down. Since it was as part of an acquisition, it wasn't a standard job offer which I could accept or decline independent of the acquisition itself.
563.
by lemming 10y ago
Sure, and I think that's a great plan. It's more or less what I did - I didn't make FU money from the acquisition, but enough that I didn't have to worry about it for a while while I found something fun to work on. Howev

You're equating potential with money. I make more people happy doing what I do now than what I would have done at Google. And importantly, I'm a much better father than I would have been were I working 50 hours a week. Me, my fami

Perhaps it wasn't clear in my comment - I quit right out of the gate instead of staying at Google. I essentially turned the job down.

by lemming 10y ago
Because money isn't everything. What I'm working on isn't a side project, it's my main gig, but it's paying the bills nicely. But I started this after quitting from a post-acquisition job at Google paying $400k plus

Is there any literature on how to translate languages where everything is an expression to ones where it isn't, for example when compiling/transpiling to java? If/then can be translated to the ternary operator, but terms like
