   As far as I understood, target retirement funds will switch the allocation from stocks to bonds once you get close to retirement. With the robo advisors, you'd have to manually move your risk tolerance downwards. I personally would hat

   I remember that this seemed very appealing when I first looked into a place to buy ETFs. I then opened the Schwab account because I really enjoy their checking account and they are, as far as banks go, pretty solid and not prone to screwing

   These are the two posts I still have on my "read later" list. I assume both of them are pretty good compared to other options (stock picking, mutual funds, ...) :)

   I looked at both of them initially. As far as I recall, at least back then, the fee structure for people that initially only have a small amount of money invested (10k or so), Wealthfront was slightly better. I also like Wealthfront's

   I personally use Charles Schwab (just because I have my bank account with them) and Wealthfront to invest in ETFs. Schwab is comparable with Vanguard in terms of fees and ETF availability, so I never bothered with opening up an extra accoun

   For a lot of companies, "salary" is usually a mixture of base salary, bonus and stock options/RSUs. I guess there are also various perks (public transport ticket, food, ...), but those mostly don't end up scoring that hi

   Seems like a relatively basic CRUD site. Considering the SSL issues which apparently weren't tested properly and the immediately published feedback that shows tons of private data from people, I really, really hope that the site won&#x

   They are talking about a free market. This is heavily government regulated.

    The H1B that is mostly talked about when it comes to IT jobs and imimgration requires companies to pay at least the prevailing wage for the area in question. So on average, it should either have wages stay the same OR raise them a tiny bit

    I can recommend "Programming Pearls": http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pearls-2nd-Edition-Bentley... It hasn't a lot of algorithms per se, but it has a lot of examples of how a different view on a problem ca

    I just want someone that also hacks on things in their free time and likes it so much that they even want to publish things. (same idea with a technical blog)

    I think it is. Most good people I interviewed so far had something on there from pet projects. I wouldn't expect that code to be brilliant, but just the fact that they know how to use git, maybe even react to issues / PRs is a goo

    On a side note: I can't seem to get instapaper to save part 1 and 2 of this series. The raw .md file doesn't seem to work and bookmarking the rendered github preview just leads to the projects main repo.

    Are you sure those speedups are docker related, those sound like they're bundler/caching related? ( as in http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/caching/ )

    The fact that they designed the whole system "up front" without a working prototype but decided to include UML diagrams makes me cringe a bit. I have yet to see a system where up-front UML design really works. Then again, when I w

    The amount of time it takes to keep up with all of the changes big sites make is impressive. At some point I decided to write something similar in Ruby ( https://github.com/rb2k/viddl-rb ) and I'm kind of ashamed
