I wrote a quote simulator for my mom's cleaning business a while back. You give it the room count, floor type, wc count, etc... and it produces an estimate of the size of the property and how much it would cost to hire the service. To estim

During an interview at the London office I asked about working hours and I was told you can pick from either 8:00 to 18:00 or 9:00 to 19:00. I was also told that my money making side projects would not be allowed or would have to be "approv

This looks great! Would you be open to remote work from London?

Hi, has the 45 hour per week rule been changed?

I payed for a Unity license to do work for a client but I still prefer to use C++/Ogre3D/SFML for other projects where I need a bit more control.

Cinder is not written for performance. I use it just to open an window and get a basic update/render loop. It is too slow to write games in. [EDIT] I will actually have a go with polycode to see if it solves the issues I have now with some

Interesting. I don't know signal processing theory, but I derived the same formula years ago to filter high frequency changes in motion. Now I know what to call it: an exponential moving average.

My scores are a bit shocking. I hope it doesn't mean I am dumb or something...

Great work guys! I am writing a game with my friends on our spare time and we have kept all the builds since the beginning so we could document it's progress with a video as well. Glad to see that people respond well to this. Wish you the b

I have been using Lua to script the audio sequencer on the game I am writing and it rocks. No performance problems at all, even on an second generation iPod Touch. And it is very easy to call Lua from C++ and C++ from Lua.

I don't get it. FB is so proud of "hiring the best engineers" and then they have to resort to this kind of hacks to run their app?

On David Brin's sci-fi novel "Earth" (1990) most tourists wear googles just like the google ones.

I recently had a phone interview that went rather well for a very interesting position but the company asks a minimum of 45 hours per week and that is a deal breaker for me.

There are quite a lot of Android based desktop computers available, some with better specs and cheaper than the VIA offering. Just google for "Android USB Mini PC". This could be a potential problem for Microsoft.

I quit my previous job to freelance in an area I enjoy more. 2 years after that my savings have dropped considerably and I need to start thinking about getting a mortgage and help my parents as their financial situation is very risky even t

In my case 2013 may be the year I go back to a steady job.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago, working in games in London. The only way I found to increase my salary was switching to finance. It's not an interesting field to me, but my income doubled.

I installed the 750GB/8GB Momentus XT on my late 2008 MBP and it has been a breath of fresh air. Previously I had a 500GB WD Scorpio Black. That was fast but it vibrated a lot and I think battery life was worse than with the Momentus. I mai

I really enjoyed your talk, particularly the part about building the Analytical Engine and how Babbage thought about instruction pipelining, in cogs! Can't wait to see this machine built.

Congratulations to the developer! This is a great story to boost my resolve to finish writing my little game. I also used to work in finance and kept daydreaming about something like this. Some of my friends have published games on the app

I am from Lisbon, not a cheap place by any means. Granted, coffee outside is cheap and going out at night is also affordable, but when you take into account the average IT wage living in Lisbon is expensive. And what is the point in moving

by yeureka 14y ago
I care. If I didn't I wouldn't post here. But there is so much a single person can do. And I am very involved with portuguese tech companies at the moment. I just can't afford to live in Portugal any more.

by yeureka 14y ago
That is correct, but it takes more energy for a European national to move country because of the barriers of language, customs, laws, tax systems, etc... As an example, I have worked in Portugal, Spain and now the UK and I don't know if I w

"I suspect that the mediterranean IT guy/pal will be the new Polish plumber in UK" That actually made me laugh. I will be a stereotype!

by yeureka 14y ago
Not surprising. I left Portugal in 2003 to work in the games industry. There were still plenty of jobs in Lisbon then and salaries were not so bad. At the time I thought I would be away for a couple of years "just to get some experience". I

Agreed. I have been working from home for more than a year now and I do feel isolated. When I am working on something interesting this doesn't affect me much, but when I am stuck in a problem it is easy to feel a bit anxious and depressed.

Excel is used quite a lot in the finance sector. I my previous job I had to write a plugin to allow traders to do some simple algo trading in Excel. Oh, and once you are forced to work in VBA all other languages seem amazing.
