What do you class as part time? 4 day weeks should be a lot easier to get, you can get a 5 day then ask to move down. Below 4 days probably gets a lot harder. You might want a non-technical client and freelance for them. Pay might be crap t

By design? Or running code in the browser is inefficient? (not your fault, that's the way it is) Keepass (Desktop app) for example doesn't take ages to open.

A side project can be 2 hours a week. You can optimise making dinner so it take less time (cook in bulk, make some meals salads). Exercise can be done at home, probably 30 minutes in the morning and evening is more than enough.

Definitely. Greenfield is rare in my experience though. And there is greenfield solo (awesome) and greenfield team of 20 all chucking code in (instant legacy!)

A day job doesn't have to be your side project's enemy. If you do web dev at work you get paid to do something that makes you efficient at web dev. Then you go home and work on your side project and you don't need to spend ho

"No code" doesn't mean no logical thinking, no worrying about changing requirements, no version control, no uptime and performance considerations, no cost considerations, no analysing requirements, ... very little of what a c

Interesting comment, but for those of use who don't do infra but are curious, what is the problem with NFS, and what do you use instead? My ears always prick up when someone says ... or implies ... to not use something in production!

Nonetheless, it's freaky that our deepest secrets are encoded into pi. If pi is normal.

It's like a magic trick. Amazing at first, then you sort of realize how they did it.

I don't take it as defeatist: They are implying that it requires political means not technical means to solve it.

Interesting. Honestly that feels alien to me, and it might be for a number of reasons, including inadequate networking, not "selling" myself well enough, or being too much of a team player to not stand out as the 5X-er or 10X-er w

And for regular jobs (permanent or a long 6-12m contract), you might get referred by your network, but the company needs to whiteboard you all the same (it's policy!). The referral probably prevents your CV getting binned at least.

I'd buy one of these for a picture frame, to have changeable art. Sounds nuts (?), but at some point a big one of these would cost less than a painting and you have it change to suit your mood.

A slow modem (or indeed no modem!) is nothing like a 30s refresh rate.

JVM has a lot of functional languages. As well as the usual Clojure, Scala, etc. I think it has some Haskell-like ones.

The problem is you now have investors voting on what the company should do. You buy Apple shares because you trust them to envision the future. I bet most punters would have put money on the next iPhone and nothing else. And also there is t

It's a city where you are teleported into the sewer, and you have to click back or close to get out of it again, but you've still smelt the sewer.

* All the cliche health benefits and then some! Car analogy: you'll fire up the other 2 cylinders while no longer needing to tow a caravan. Combine with exercise and better diet which will be easier to stick to due to no drugs to sap y

I guess it is possible, although most likely if they are putting malware on mice they are targeting Windows. (At first I thought it was a joke, alluding to Linux users love touch typing at 120WPM and hate using a mouse, so any mouse periphe
