I have no experience with google customer support as a normal developer[1], but I guess there is a vast amount of this kind of arguably spamy apps submitted every day. On that scale it's probably hard and too time consuming to distingu

I wouldn't be to concerned about stable/fast internet. I currently work out of hostels and cafes in Medellin, Colombia. Free wlan everywhere and haven't had any more problems than back in Switzerland. And since I have a local

It's not just about storing the history itself. I store bookmarks in the cloud as well. My main problem is: As I understand it, the plugin sees what I see and just sends away everything. Including payments and balance in my bank accoun

Why server side indexing and not use something like lunarjs[1] from the beginning? Like the Idea of fulltext search on history, but I'm not going to send my full history to some random dude on the internet. No offence intended:) [1] ”S

The question is, how long will this effect last? These are the first cases, where the right to be forgotten is used against news sites and the outrage is of course big. But what about in a few months, a year? I doubt that every case will en

I'm using MITs StarCluster to quickly spin up a bunch of AWS Spot Instances, run some calculations and shut them down again. http://star.mit.edu/cluster/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ym7epCYnSk

Absolutely! I gave us a real warm and fuzzy feeling inside making more money with cheap, mediocre quality tshirts made in Thailand with unknown working conditions, than the actual music … Ironically, in the time of the sacred internet, cutt

I, on the other hand probably couldn't work with more than two screens. I always had two screens at my last jobs but I always ended up using only one of them actually. First I had the typical setup of putting the editor/shells on

Yes it already improved a lot. I don't really have insides in the financial aspects of advertising and don't know what would be possible with mobile ads alone. Unlike other startups, the big disadvantage news companies have is, th

My main problem with mobile ads is that they often completely break the user experience. Why not make ads analogous to print: just (arguably) beautiful photography with some text on it and place them within the article where it makes sense.

I'm currently doing the same. Left Switzerland about one month ago, and I'm now working from Colombia. Not that I couldn't afford living in Switzerland, but among other reasons, I felt like I didn't get enough value for

I wouldn't subscribe whilst in Switzerland either, but I'am considering using their service while traveling. Since I only have to actually open about 2-3 Mails per month, I think the price is ok. At least a don't know anybody

This could also be useful to circumvent the censorship in some places, no? I've seen a site which convert websites to images for that very reason a few years ago. Although less sophisticated. But sadly I can't remember the name.

Years ago, I lost quite some time debugging a site where some borders just wouldn't render in IE. Turned out Firefox recognized both, grey and gray, IE did not.

Totally agree. Plus, the article didn't mention (and it shouldn't), whether she met her partner at Github or not. They may as well be a couple since college. I'd prefer not to be in a relationship with a co-worker, since I fe

As in other editors the key-bindings are completely customizable. E.G. I rarely use the arrow keys. I use WASD and UIOJKL crosses for different levels of navigation of code and projects. Intuitive? No. But very handy once you get used to it

I agree that language is not standardized and should never be. I see English in programming as the somewhat lowest common denominator. At least in the "western world". From all the 4 languages I learned and some more I messed arou

The fear of getting killed, as she commented, was about what happens if she gets her family in trouble, not if she just said no. See my earlier answer to LaGrange.

The original question mentioned, that she didn't want to live with her stupid in-laws and husband, as well as vague family issues. I don't jump to conclusions, that just because she is Pakistani and has a family that likes to push

Yes, I understand now that the main issue seems to be, that the family pays her studies in Spain. This really is a though call. Even if Spain would grant asylum, I guess that would be the end of her studies for quite a while.

One of the "just say no" sayer here. I do understand, that the author is from Pakistan and currently studying in Spain. But, even though I think family is important, sometimes you have to value your own will over that of the famil

Can confirm. GMX was the first email provider I used, since it was cool because it was not hotmail and still had a lot of names available. I still use my 3 letter gmx account as a spambox nowadays.

The Schengen agreement does not include customs. That's in the European Union Customs Union, which Switzerland is not part of. You still have to self declare goods when entering Switzerland. Border patrol checks on suspicion.

by smoe 13y ago
That's the point. They do check quite a lot of people for undeclared goods. However they're no after those who buy stuff for themselves, but for example restaurant owners who try to smuggle in cheap meat in big quantities.
