There's no hard and fast rule. It is up to the employer, and how well you can negotiate. I work for an American company while staying in India. I am in a senior position, and they are paying me a little on the lower spectrum of what a

What minecraft needs is a way to speed up the game. There have been quite a few people who have made calculators and "electronic" components, which would be a lot more cooler if they could work faster.

By the way, I noticed that a lot of popular geeks who we (or me personally) look up have started young families. Probably just confirmation bias. But it's nice to see.

I started working remotely a little while ago, and I decided to try Xoom based on a friend's suggestion. My employer had some issues with verifying the transaction when he was travelling, but it worked fine otherwise.

I think it is unfair to assume that he is not "interested in computers" because he has no side project. As I recall, engineering coursework is pretty intensive as it is and some students try to prioritize that infront of anything

This really is a very simple site which tries to get the the job done (simple link aggregation and self posts with basic discussions). The code and functionality isn't state of the art, because they never really had the proper resource

Anything that organizes the posts here into more categories is welcome. It is quite hard to navigate through posts and comments as it is. Now, I wonder if it is possible to get the monthly hiring threads pinned to the top of ask. Also, it i

Well, this was a long time coming. No surprises here. I'll fondly remember Orkut though. It was the first social network I really used and participated in. An interesting story: When I was in college, my friend and I figured out a w

This is quite cool. I have had a few frustrating experiences with graph databases before, but this, as a simple graph data store, looks promising.

A lot of the technology that is used in financial network is there due to legacy/stability reasons. It is important to keep this in mind when talking about these types of industries.

If you have a server that could use some nice monitoring, install newrelic. They'll send you a nice T shirt.

I was using Curdbee. They have been acquired by another company called Hiveage, and we had to migrate our accounts there. So that's what I am using right now. I just needed a simple invoicing app which generates and sends clean invoice

I like going through Quartz's daily newsletter, and picking a couple of interesting links from there to read.

This may be an obvious suggestion, but there is Amazon RDS for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MsSQL. I have used it for MySQL and we didn't have any issues, though it was a pretty small setup.

Is this probably because of the native unicode support in the language?

Ah, I haven't heard of this one before. Thanks, I will have a look.

I have looked at weworkremotely. There wasn't a lot related to my skillset, but I am keeping a close look at it. I have gone through the last hiring thread and shot off a few emails yesterday, and I am waiting for the next one on Sunda

So far, I have got all my previous jobs through contacts and friends. However, I am trying to get a remote job now, and since I don't know anyone who works in these organizations, it is turning out to be my first real job search.

This looks nice. I don't mind getting a cheap box to host some non critical websites. Thanks for this.

I had started out with their free plan for a few of the smaller websites I maintain. But their limitations (facebook api) and downtimes discouraged me from upgrading to their paid plans. Eventually, I moved those sites back to one of my DO

I use it as a data store for some backend node.js applications which serve a few critical APIs.

Heh.. Sorry man, but this is pretty funny. I think we are going to start having to resort to the old chatroom techniques to get around words which are censored. Want some b1tc01n5?

Woah. This is big news for me. I wonder why this isn't more obvious.

It's a pity that phonegap apps don't perform nearly as well as a natively written one, especially on older phones.

It is good to hear that they even managed to refactor their code, even if you don't look at the performance benefits. Now, I hope that their next major upgrade will be a complete API overhaul, though it means making the existing tho

I don't think it sucks, for what it offers at that price. I use a DO boxes to host some basic php websites, and as the app server for my node app.
