    This article is regarding Apple's EU profits, the Yahoo statement (I think?) is global profits. Also the income statement says: All numbers in thousands So you need to add 000 to t…

    Well the sample was testing against twitter (obviously prod). So someone may test against prod if they didn't really know what these things could do.

    If you're main goal is "to have some steady income via side project" then it doesnt matter which language you pick. What matters is the product you create and whether people will u…

    Compared to the interest only part, the savings are significant. Way more than 200 per month. The capital repayments are not money lost in the same way that rent would be (assuming…

    No, slack free plan only allows 10000 messages to be saved at any one time. Nothing to do with user limit. Unbelievable that a service like this would change the key part of their …

    I disagree, this view is too simplistic. It's very different to owning shares in a company. You have to either buy a house or rent. You cant opt out entirely, whereas you can with …

    You may want to mention where you live and/or are available to work from, also adding a resume may be nice

    Thats unfortunate, you just red flagged yourself! I think its time to never ask your interview candidates that question again.

    Hmm, I don't think not fully understanding existing tools and not wanting to read documentation is a good reason. You can easily add prompting with maven, gradle etc, test result r…

    Yep, nonsense in = nonsense out. This "study" is pointless.

    I am also interested to know. Could be because they're (generally) cheaper?

    I believe the parent comment is talking about website owners. A quick check of a website I run says 96% of hits come from Google. If Google decide to block that site or put it on p…

    Didn't see that little gem. If I signed up and received a phone call within 30 mins Id probably go ahead and close the account. Email replies doesn't actually mean anything, would …

    The article mentions this as a question if you want to confine the amount of money you spend: “How much do you want to invest before we stop?” I think this is one of the fundamenta…

    So her talk was on tech interviews and someone thought she was a recruiter? Doesn't seem that big a stretch...
