Free bonus: These areas are generally quite high over sea level (like ~1000m or so) and have very low light contamination, so the night sky is great. So, if you wait 3-4 hours afte…

A little too late to travel from Barcelona, but anywhere in the province of Teruel or the east part of Guadalajara is inside totality area, will have great weather, clear skies and…

Should I have all the money in the world I would most likely spend a good part of the year in Ibiza. I've been to a lot of places in the Mediterranean (and other shores) and Ibiza …

Did he not? After suffering through the Hobbit movies, I would completely disagree. Adding salt to the injury, these movies destroyed the story in the book that Tolkien apparently …

Indeed! That's one of the things I like to review in those "Who's hiring" posts. That's why I'm happy to continue being a Ruby developer!

The Ruby dev market in Europe is hotter than ever. Of course, that's in relative terms. It's nowhere near the size of the Java, JS or even Python market size, but demand is stronge…

It's clear that legacy has a pretty strong influence, here, with Wordpress and other standard tools inflating PHP's numbers and Shopify doing the same for Ruby. But, I'm pretty sur…

Sadly true, indeed. It's a shame we're losing so much useful functionality there. Security is a worthy goal but getting rid of useful features just because Google wants to handhold…

I own the 3GB Manjaro edition of the PinePhone (same hardware as this one, AFAIK) and, while in theory you can do everything that you describe with it, it is hardly something you c…

Personal experience: Around 2005 I was looking for a platform for a new web app, after some years out of development but having worked extensively with NeXTstep and EOF in the 90s.…

In my experience (I'm 51 myself), the older the guy, the most likely he's aware he doesn't know everything

Of course, there's plenty of people in their 40s experiencing the struggles you describe. But, as a matter of fact, I've met as many of them in the 20s and 30s range with the same …

Most of the commenters focus on a stronger financial position and/or industry knowledge as reasons to be a successful entrepreneur beyond the barrier of 40s. But the man himself pr…
