Very interesting, does anyone have experience with this pattern they can share?

"with undefined behavior, anything is possible!". How is your exposition not a subsumed by that statement? C pedants? Right we get it, nobody needs the excruciating details you and…

This comment, while adding detail, does nothing to improve upon the original statement, which was perfectly valid, and adds nothing to the discussion. This is irrelevant pedantry t…

I'm able to do this, having a separate office area works well. Although interruptions aren't really a problem since my family is away during the day. Neither of my current remote j…

I stopped working several years ago. I still go to the office and collect a check. In reality I do about 4 hours of real work a week. Have been for years. Software development is t…

Target used to hire some remote developers. Last time I checked their careers page, looked like they no longer do. Or if they do it's not advertised as an option.

Working mulitiple remote jobs. I've never been 100% utilized, haven't been in 10 years. So I took on another job. I work more than one job remote in an 8 hour day. Two times the in…

I've advocated this for a long time, not something people are receptive to though. I've been in GPs position, I've done little or nothing for YEARS at various development jobs, I d…

If you're already making $150k, get a remote job for $100k. Remote can be a bit more competitive to land, but there are some low paying companies out there who's hiring is comparat…

I remember reading at least one case study of someone standing up an online poll related to a sporting event that got 100k's users over a few days on GAE, really impressive at the …

I met my wife on a dating website (plenty of fish). This is not an indicator that dating sites are effective, they had failed me for at least 10 years previously (ie I tried online…

GWT was dead a long time ago, maybe two years after it came out, it's a dead tech. So is Scala, after the scala hype train left a few years ago, almost no one is using it (see tiob…

I launched a SaaS service a little over a year ago that didn't gain any users. I'm contemplating relaunching after some feedback. My question is, should I reuse the previous domain…
