"Full day" absolutely matters though, especially if you want to attract passive candidates. If I'm unemployed, then full day is fine. If I'm really keen to get out of my current job, or really keen to work for you, then

You're welcome, but I'm happy to at least elaborate on why that answer was a poor fit for us: - It presumed that the existing spreadsheet would be flawless and bug-free. That is almost never the case; ad-hoc spreadsheets are often

I agree with the rest of your comment, but I think this Ceylon is probably closer to Kotlin. is unfair on Ceylon Kotlin basically has the Java type system with a few extensions, but no substational changes. Ceylon has its own type system

Well in this very specific context, it's hard to imagine that Microsoft will be avoiding using GitHub just because it's owned by Microsoft.

I read your comment, but in the absense of any specific examples it was hard to know the details of the problem. The OSM Wiki contains a Data Catalogue for Australia. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_

Yes, but what you need to be able to predict is how the market is going to value your stock in $N years. Knowing that you have cool tech coming down the line, or that your colleagues are way smarter than your competitors', etc, might g

That's not the case in my local area. The suburbs boundaries align quite accurately with the boundaries provided on the local council's GIS. The OSM boundaries are line-strings, so they don't have all the contours from the co

You also need to offer other options within the company if they exist. So if you're reducing the number of staff employed to support "system A", but you have vacant positions supporting "system B", then you you need

But that wasn't the other option. They could have fired the executive who was responsible for managing and training the staff (who clearly failed to do so) or the executive that implemented a customer support system that allowed staff

It depends on what "immutable" means to you. Elasticsearch is stateful, it's essentially useless if you don't have some form of persistent storage for it, because its purpose is to act as a datastore. So we make no attem

While there are a thousand reasons to hate SAML, your concerns are not accurate. 1. I guess "relatively new" is a vague term, but SAML v2.0 (the current version) was standardised in March 2005 - it's now 12.5 years old, I don

Groovy was a security nightmare. The groovy sandbox simply doesn't do enough to protect a server. Our scripting language "Painless" is faster and more secure than we could achieve with groovy, so in Elasticsearch 5.0 we made

No. The majority view seems to be that there are none . But Facebook has a very large patent portfolio, so if they wanted to sue/counter-sue you, they could probably find something that was close enough to lock you up in litigation fo
