I finish my current role on Friday, and start a new one next Monday. The difference is pretty much 20%. On why I took it: * The money is better * It has more potential for fulfillment * The money is enough to offset the risk that it won&#x2

My primary point was that Hong Kong is not directly comparable to cities in China. I also readily say "Hong Kong is not China". Although, as time goes on, the truth of that statement is eroded.

They're secondary points relating to quality of life and social security that distinguish Hong Kong from China.

I need to learn the tooling around anki. I was trying to edit the full hsk1-6 flashcard set to just show hsk5. But I didn't manage to find the right tools. Tried to manually change the file (it's a sqlite dB inside a zip file) but

I'm surprised about this. I get that there can be circulating cells, but the probability of them successfully metastasising in the early stages is very low. Normally it's only later stage cancers that end up spreading. I guess it&

"non-negligible" doesn't sound very precise. You mean "non-empty but finite"? "There exists a member of the Committee that is not active"

A couple of months ago they were still using beermats pushing for a harder Brexit.

Sure. That's my joke. You'd obfuscate the content, but to be practical you'd still have to know what it said. Hence my comment.

Having lived in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan I take a pragmatic view to whether I should be offended by peoples use of the term foreigner. The Cantonese "gweilo" (lit. "monster/ghost person") and Taiwanese "adog

I believe conduit is going to support HTTP1.1 by the time it's done. The http2 and grpc focus was just to get the alpha release out there.

A friend of mine writes and edits ICO whitepapers. He's very skilled and gets paid pretty well for those skills.

I once wired $30k USD from my UK to Taiwan bank account. It worked fine, but had to go into the bank in person with ID to get the funds approved. Not sure what it'd be like if I moved $100ks.

I've not seen anyone advertise at 100k. But I had a profile on Hired.com open for ~ a week, and all the companies who I normally see advertising 60-80 offered me 100. That's about 10 datapoints saying that for the right CV they&#x

It's worth noting that GBP lost ~20% of its value last year (although it retained some value recently) And that companies advertising for 80k will possibly stretch to 100k for the right candidate. 100k =~ 5k/month And a reasonabl

Sad one to nitpick, but Jim died in 2014. So ~3.5 years ago. Had the pleasure of meeting him in Singapore in 2013. Still so much great code of his we use all the time.

Same with the 6D. It seems even when power is off it runs the GPS, so you leave it switched off overnight, and the next day your battery is always dead.

This is an important piece of information missing from the article. Namely this is not out of the blue.

I have the S8, and although the rear fingerprint sensor is less convenient than the front, I haven't even considered using the face or iris unlock. Just stick your finger round the back and you'll be happy.

There do seem to be people selling 7d mark ii cmos sensors for ~$300, while a new body would cost ~$1100. Someone posted a video of replacing the sensor on the old 7d ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udonzfGdW0Y ) Seems it e

I know about 12 years ago I blew the firewire connection on my video camera (Canon xm2), and to fix it they would have to replace the full board. So I feel like they don't make them repairable.

How do you fix a burnt cmos sensor? I feel like canon would charge you near enough the full replacement price.
