If you are right, then his point about discriminating is moot. Seems more like he can't find a job he wants, and dismiss others that would be happy to hire him. I can say: "I want …

But they pay pennies compared to London. What you save on rent you lose on income. I get a lot of recruiter spam from UK recruiters, but truth be told, don't think I've ever got an…

Quick question since you have a few kids. Is real Wyoming a good place for them in terms of school and future? (really asking, no idea as I live on the other side of the pond). I w…

I agree. I work remotely and do this a lot with team members, but when people suggest pair programming, they are (usually) referring to 2 seats on 1 keyboard kind of thing, which I…

See, this is where 'different strokes' thing comes in handy. I HATE HATE HATE pair programming. If you tell me I have to do 1 hour of pair programming on a job interview, I won't g…

Sorry for the late reply. I don't think you should stop posting photos from your trips just because you are 'afraid' you will be pissing off your friends. They can always unfollow …

For me, StackExchange's 'reputation' is inversely correlated with that. Don't want to attack the contributors, but honestly, the higher levels of reputation just either show me tha…

You move to Europe? ;)

I think there are two options that play in your favour: a) be honest, but when they ask (and they will) why you are leaving the current company, say you know they are paying their …

I fully agree with that sentiment. I have a lot of non-tech folks ask me about money (when they ask me what I do and if it pays well) and I always try to avoid giving numbers and g…

Things are better on the company/bureaucracy front. Not as good as US/UK where you can do everything online, but it is 90% there. As for the tax climate, corporate tax has come dow…

In a nutshell: Rails isn't shinny anymore. By migrating from (now) old Rails to new shiny Go, people can write these kinds of articles and pretend to be cutting edge and forward th…

I'm Portuguese so maybe I'm biased, but seems Lisbon is becoming quite an attractive startup hub where the cost of living isn't too high (compared to London/Paris/etc) and you have…

Don't know of any research about those lamps specifically, but based on research from blue light devices use and what I know about our circadian rhythms, you will probably end up w…

I started losing mine at 17 and I worked out/moved a lot at the time (played 2 sports + fun activities) so I doubt there is a connection there.

The idea is to hire as you grow. You can be one founder or 10, at a point, you hire for what you need. I do agree with GP a bit on the solo founder. Here is the thing, I have enoug…

Don't get me wrong, but that is easy to say when you are you ;) Most folks need that paycheck and don't live in the magical Bay Area where they find jobs laying in the street when …

Someone speaking in not so flattering terms about an industry (vc based growth startups) that this site caters to... it isn't hard to understand why they get downvotted. I personal…

Not to pick, but usually calorie counting only really works if you are precise with it (this includes accounting for every beer or the milk you add to your coffee everyday). Anothe…

I watched it a few months ago so I maybe confused, but wasn't one of the main ideas the movie tried expose is that "move more, eat less" didn't work? I may be confused, but I think…

I'm on the opposite camp and think Fed Up is not a good movie to watch and seems the author (Kuric I think) had a bone to grind mostly with the fast food and shitty food industry. …

Hi Jim One of the main problems people have with counting calories is accurately being able to do so. While I don't think counting calories is for everyone, if you do try again, tr…

It really isn't and I say this as someone that never went over 180 pounds and is usually around 12% body fat. Just the 'lifting 3 times a week' will take out a lot of the working p…

The first EA open source project I remember was their own implementation of STL [1] many years ago to deal with STL slow parts. [1] https://github.com/paulhodge/EASTL seems to be a…

PathFinder from cocoatech.com For me, it is everything Finder should have been
