New York certainly Trumps (thought this needed some comic relief) Toronto in many ways, but I am guessing you're probably making a claim based on a salary that I suspect isn't as common as you would like it to be. People I previou

Most my friends in SF pay between $2.5-4k USD (3.4k-5.46k CAD) per month for their apartments [tell me if i'm wrong?]. I personally rent out two 1BR upper-scale apartments in downtown Toronto [one loft space for $1.9k CAD ($1.39k USD)

It's not that they cannot, it is that they do not want to. Seriously, any software dev saying they "cannot live" on their salary is simply out of touch with the rest of the world. Not to say they should take a below market sa

Toronto is certainly booming today, hiring is hard, houses are getting expensive and everyone is talking about joining in on the fun...meanwhile I live here and love it, please take your shoes off at the door. I'm a touch worried this

Showering in the morning and wearing cotton are a lot of work? I cannot tell if you're being serious...i feel like i do these things by accident at least 1/2 the time [i probably bike 2x week at most] and could easily do it all th

Yeah I'd 100% believe this. And to throw another data point in here, i just did it now at got a room at the central park hotel for $180 CAD / night for 2 nights. The only other good thing about this approach is that I find meeting

This has been my experience, until recently. I started not booking ahead and just using the Hotel Tonight app to get something (literally minutes before i get on my flight). I feel like one day i'm going to get screwed, but so far I&#x

Yeah fair point, and i thought this while writing it. I just feel like by doing nothing we're not even allowing for the opportunity of people taking it seriously.

I saw this previously, which again adds to my frustration! It really just fuels the skeptics argument. Why can we not provide a better shot, why can we not clear this up!?

And please, do not confuse me with one of those people. I just feel more people could be brought around to the logical side of the argument here with a simple 30 second video release, instead we're left without the most obvious and sim

Seriously, a down-vote for this?! I feel like there must be hours of video of this event, this is the Pentagon! Yet none is released, why? It annoys me because it could so easily be cleared up, yet instead people are left to become skeptics

I'd never looked into it before now, but i just went searching for footage of this...frustrating there is none. I don't understand why this cannot be cleared up and instead we're left with people doubting the facts. It makes

Canada does the same thing. I'm a spousal sponsored immigrant and if I were to claim anything as such my partner is actually the one the govnernemnt holds responsible for funding it [from australia, so hardly the same category as a ref

This has been interesting to read and raises an interesting question: it appears lots of you are leaving Zendesk and now using something else... 1) We still Zendesk here, what inspired you to leave? 2) What do you like about where you lande

You have to be joking? My point is that ignorance is dangerous.

While I wouldn't say that the US is worse than China, I think your statement is just as dangerous (possibly more).

It totally depends on the situation, is it something the whole team needs to work with on a regular basis? And is it really the most optimal solution (those two questions are highly interlinked)? If that's the case then we might want t

Home automation is an amazingly cool thing to do, and i theorize that it doesn't become a true part of your home unless you remove as many of the barriers to regular use as possible. Voice is very convenient, and access on every floor

I cannot be specific in the open, but if you look at my profile you might be able to take a guess. Frankly my experiences are limited to the Walmart Open API that came out of labs, so likely I'm just looking at a very small portion of

by verelo 10y ago
As someone who has tried to work with them, I'd say no it doesn't. They are not responsive, very slow to do anything and frankly are more of a product API than a real innovation team. I'd love to see more from this group, I&#

Sorry, the use of the word 'common' was a poor choice [and I'm actually not sure what would be a better choice]. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I honestly find a lot of those common methods very confusing.

by verelo 10y ago
While I do not go around trying to beat people with a stick when they make things I see as overly complex, I think it's good to have a conversation about it, sit down together to find the simpler solution [or accept the one that is alr

This is exactly the attitude I try get into every developers head! Please write maintainable code using common and broadly understood methods. There is no award for surprising me in how fancy your solution is, in fact the opposite.

Well fortunately with the major influence Gmail has in the personal email and work email space these days, your wish is somewhat true. Having said that, Google certainly run many many mail servers, as such an outage that impacts delivery fo

Makes me think in future cases when someone says in court "I do not recall", we are going to see Google Home / Echo data being called into play. As someone with 3 google home devices in the house, I feel like my feara I'

Can we agree that trading at 93 times revenue should be the real headline here? While I find it insane, and others will disagree, it's the real talking point which ever side you sit on!

Wow, this is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Sure, so there is more demand than supply is my point. If we want to address that we need to diversify where we invest [not just toronto] so we can make alternatives available and not concentrate everyone's desire to live in a 50km rad

Depends on a few things, experience, job (or internship) history and what tools you want to / are open to work with. Attitude is also key (I really hate "rockstar" jerks). I'd say the most common range I see new grads st
