Same here! Except I use Keychain (without icloud) from OSX, as it's built in. I can't trust a website to keep all my passwords.

I think learning is highly personal, in that everyone walks at a different speed, etc. For me one of the best ways to learn a language is the Delft method. It requires discipline, however, I noticed it's really effective.

As long as they don't release a decent new Mac pro, I am not gonna throw away more than 4k€, it's just unethical and wrong. Even if it's company money.

Our industry simply thinks that the more experienced you are, the better it is. I can tell you from my recent experience that microservices, kubernetes and the cloud, in general, have made experience with old desktop apps completely useless

I think it highly depends on 1) the severity of the law of your country, 2) the demand, 3) where you live (how many gangs are out there, how dangerous it is ..etc.). Also, selling drugs doesn't imply selling hard drugs, which in many c

The alternative is trying to get cheap workers from abroad, which worked quite well in the past and still seems to do well to some extent - if you can accept all the challenges this way of doing business carries along on social/securit

I would say yes. What's the worst that can happen, you learning something good and interesting? It's always good to have people in this field that know how to design distributed systems.

I still fail to see how this will help Red Hat achieve "even more", as they claim in the statement. Sad day!

>but I've yet to be employed at one using 3rd party hosting for source control without an on-site mirror. For me it's actually the opposite, except for one company that had only an internal SCM and no cloud stuff.

The OP asked for a place where he/she can speak English as well, and unfortunately this is not really the case.

Why did you ask just for a 3X increase instead of 12-20X? If you don't value what you did, why should your employer? Also, why should an employer raise your salary based on the fact you are automating stuff? It's part of your job,

I don't know enough about Canada. I think many countries produce very smart engineers. I mean, Redis was created by some Italian guys , akka was created by some Swedish guys, and I think Scala was created by the technical University in

What about Amazon? And eBay? And Yahoo? Lots of US people in Europe, true. Doing software? I really really doubt it. Or they left for personal motivations. Leaving US for a developer is like leaving Ferrari for an automobile engineer. You c

Google made in Europe is possible, facts so far say otherwise, though. If you can mention one or two companies like that, it'd be great. Also, some of the biggest companies in the world are European, that's true. However, they are

Workers know what they are getting into. Customers know what they are buying. It's an ecosystem that lives on its own. Could you think of Google made in Europe? In Germany, in France, or in Italy? It's no wonder that many European

You are right! I only saw this from the perspective of the investor that gives money and "hopes" it will work. This doesn't contradict the fact, though, that in Europe the "big plan" tends to work for a simple reaso

I think this is unrelated to being self funded or being in the A, B or C round. It's more about the fact that any new cool young company can disappear soon, if there is no business. And this happens both if investors give you money or

The mindset in SV is to fail fast - yes, with all the consequences for the investors. That's why investing in startups is a high risk investment. And that's also why the cautious way of doing business in Europe doesn't help w

How likely is that you can join a company like Google and how likely is that you can join a startup? Statistically, you should join Google as it's a one off experience that probably no other companies can offer you.

Flume is not comparable to Google cloud dataflow nor beam. But I understand your point.

I think that hiring for culture fit is not the hardest thing to do - it's no different from hiring for technical skills. It just requires that you have some background in psychology so that you can easily spot someone who is lying. Of

I don't understand the negative comments. Let's suppose for a moment that we lived in a fully environment-friendly world. If a company decided to use coal or non recycled plastic, we would be now bashing them. If the same happens

Probably postal voting. Or, wait, maybe they got hacked (if they use electronic voting)! These are the new excuses to "justify" the recent governments or anything else that people fail to accept or see around themselves.
