That is what I and other people I know did - work up to a better salary. If you don't mind living in an area without the Tube you can find some really nice leafy places with a great lifestyle. Where I live now it doesn't even feel

I'm from Portugal and have lived as a working adult in Lisbon, Barcelona and London. Even though I was earning more than the average salary in both Lisbon and Barcelona it would impossible to be able to buy decent property in the nice

Wow. If C/C++ code can run at near native speeds on most browsers, specially mobile browsers, this could make a dent on app stores revenues, specially for IAP based games.

Public pressure should be enough reason to vote against the treaty, not postpone it until people forget about it.

I can, specially in Europe. One good example might be the Portuguese Carnation Revolution that took place in 1974. It overthrew a corporatist dictatorship where private enterprise created a feudal system based on state sponsored monopolies

That would be amazing. Using XCode is very frustrating. I don't understand how Apple can actually write their software using XCode. No support for bookmarks. Very bad find/replace usability. Scrolling text is painful even on my b

I am writing a game that implements an audio sequencer and it runs great on iOS and OSX. But I had to write a karaoke app for Android recently and found an amazing 100ms latency there which makes me think I won't be able to port my gam

My favourite computers of all time were my A500 and A1200. I learned the most about how a computer works and how to program it. I learned how to create and control sound and graphics and how these are represented inside the machine. I made

I conducted quite a few interviews at my previous job and my solution for the whiteboard anxiety problem is to give a set of coding exercises/questions on a piece of paper to the candidate and give him/her as much time as necessar

That is correct, however when you apply for a mortgage the bank doesn't really add both incomes equally and the only reason we were able to borrow £300k is because I earn more than £50k. Also, interest rates are extremely low at the mo

Well, both of us are in our late thirties, earn above average and used up almost all of our combined savings of the last 10 years to finance the deposit, taxes and fees to be able to get this mortgage.

I agree. My biggest fear is that on the next crash we are left with a massive debt and a property worth less than we payed.

£1500 for the mortgage, plus bills, council tax, land rent, home insurance, repairs, etc... that is around £2000 per month not counting food, travel, clothes and entertainment. So realistically you need to earn £3000 after tax to be able to

This is depressingly true. I just exchanged contracts on a 2 bed flat in zone 4 that will leave me and my gf with a 300k debt. If it wasn't for her stable job in town I would think about going somewhere else. And we know that we will p

I used to swim a lot until I started developing ear and nose infections from the wet environment. Now, if I swim more than once a week I get a blocked sinus. This happens more with chlorinated swimming pools, but I think O3 treated ones are

I know some people who might fit the bill here in London, including myself. Can you elaborate on the position?

This play was adapted to Portuguese and was played in Lisbon around 2002. I was working at a company that did interactive installations and I was tasked to write software that illustrated the characters physics discussions and projected th

Thalamus made amazing games on the C64. Hawkeye and my favourite Armalyte were unbelievable for such a limited machine.

It could be much better if the tax system was sane. Let's say you want to do some freelance work for someone. In Portugal you have to register your service ("abrir actividade") and use an oficial invoice booklet provided by t

It's a game I have been working on for some time. The gameplay is simple and easy to copy and that is why I have been reluctant to show it to too many people. I hope to finish it in the next 6 months but It could take longer depending

I hope you are right - that a fun new gameplay with an adequate level of polish is enough for moderate success. I guess that deep down I also believe the same and that is what makes me keep on going to finish my side project.

Making it on the App store with games is extremely hard. I have 3 friends who each developed a mobile game and made no money, basically the games serve as portfolio for future work. I don't think the quality is the issue with what my f

Reading about TTIP reminds me of the "Estado Novo" - the Portuguese corporatist dictatorship that lasted for a large chunk of the 20th century. Corporation rights above people, that is the way forward...
