Toronto has got to be the worst deal on that list in terms of salary vs cost of living.

No joke. I applied for several jobs in Vancouver and the best salary offer was 110k base (82k USD). Seattle actually seems to have a lower cost of living and salaries approx 2x as high. Its very hard to attract workers when the salaries jus

I have chosen to not have children. Environment concerns was not the only factor, but a significant one. I suspect that this choice is far better for the environment then anything listed in that article.

I much prefer a whiteboard to these programs. Half the time I end up typing vim commands and appearing as if I can hardly type.

I have upgraded a very large Rails 3.2 app to 4.2 recently. It was about 2 weeks solid of work for my team. It was a project I inherited and when I got it the test suite took an hour to run. The biggest problem which I had was dealing with

I have been using GitLab for some time and I am transitioning my projects to them currently. I prefer it to Github significantly, the downside is that recruiters are still looking for github on resumes.

Looks like some nice additions. I try to limit the use of .try in rails, however when working with legacy codebases it is much nicer then: if @user && @user.address && @user.address.city city = @user.address.city end Even

I have been using neovim for months now with no issues I can attribute to neovim. The terminal mode can be useful, although I still prefer my current tmux setup. I have been using it with linux and osx, building from source. I suspect most

I received 30k/year while working for a professor while obtaining my undergraduate degree (all I ever got) in CS. This was almost 10 years ago now, in Canada, at a University in an area with a low cost of living. I thought this was pea

Active Jobs, at least how implemented in 4.2 is not its own background processor. Its just a common api for using the background processor of your choice (Sidekiq, Resque, Delayed job etc).

There is a major use case for std::vector having contiguous memory, which is passing a reference to the first element of a vector into a function expecting a pointer. This is fine assuming the vector is not empty.

Rails gets a bit of negative press these days, but its nice to see the framework moving forward. Rails is still a great choice for a large percent of web apps. There is a fairly big community even in smaller cities, a very complete framewor
