I've always stuck with very local (in the same city where I reside). I'm not against looking further or even remote but I've never had to look too far. It's normally a question of hours between posting my availability+

Yes but not as an employee. I'm a freelance python developer in Brussels, Belgium with just over 10 years exp and 32 years of age. The jump from employee to freelance wasn't easy but I sure wish I'd done it sooner. Short term

A quick and dirty minimalist example of how DNS could be abused to sneak data off of a compromised machine.

Another one man-team here, I find it fascinating how our stacks have at least a 90% overlap. Also funny that we both build analytics tools :) For your front to back integration: I suggest you look into django-graphene and reacts apollo-clie

Wow, that's a flashback of my college years! Good times, thank you Kim!

Nope, I also had no idea. And now that I know.. my life will not be changed in the least. I suppose it's a generational thing ;)

I love reading these. My daughter is only 2 but I've been compiling these tips as "learning hacks" to present as soon as she's ready since before she was conceived! I was also introduced to software development through &

A better way, such as? You mean like writing email / tweet requests directly to those responsible? What's this magical alternative method? FWIW, this method seems to have worked where the reasonable and common methods clearly fail

In all software I've seen dealing with these issues (ofac, aml, Dow Jones listings, etc) the flagging should result in manual verification but you're able to configure risk allowances. They almost all certainly allow some bad tr

I had tons of headaches trying to get toml to do what's trivial in Json (nested arrays of objects of arrays of ... etc). 1/10 would not try again. For very simple, hear "flat" config it checks out. But then, so does yaml

It took me a solid month before graphql finally "clicked" but there's no going back now, I absolutely prefer it over rest now. 10/10 would do again and do suggest everybody give it a try.

Exactly. WTF is the complaining about. Alternative title: Guy wants to do the best for his kid while other parents wine about it on Twitter. If he wasn't wealthy, and sourced the funds from elsewhere, nobody would bat an eye. He'd

My uni was nothing like this and I appreciate that. First year: every thing is terminal based, vim was taught, Javac was used by hand, as was nasm/ld/gcc. Only in the second year were we moved to netbeans and eclipse.

Check out listings on localbitcoins for your region. It's worked well for me in the past (keeping transactions off public exchanges). In my city, it's been trivial to move $20k dollars in a couple hours.

Exactly! Translation is tricky business.

I really don’t like the example of “monter en haut”. Certain verbs, like “monter” can have very different meanings without the noun. Monter en haut: to go up (not specifically stairs, contextually maybe, could just as well be an elevator or

Exactly. I stopped looking for insights as soon as I read that one.

As soon as you accept, not just “realise”, but actually and honestly accept the fact that there’s always going to be somebody more qualified to do whatever it is that you’re doing.. the imposter feelings will vanish ;) so yeah.. you’re not

When I first saw prisma I was blown away but after a couple months of trying to get a production ready system online I was just fed up with the "schema first" pattern. Wasted way too much time adapting the schema for custom types.
