Maybe the deductible part is a fixed amount and not a % of the total bill? (I have no knowledge of health care in the US - both countries I lived in have free health care)
Any special insight here?
We started doing challenges like this in our hiring process some years ago. Our challenges are open-ended so the time spent on it really is up to the applicant, but you can come up with a good solution in a few hours.…
I don't think age as a numerical thing is the issue here. The problem is probably more related to people that stopped learning / being interested in new stuff when they landed a stable job. So they've been using the…
Hmm I'm not sure I agree with that. From my experience the period where family is most likely to be a problem with a demanding job is when kids are very young. The short nights, demanding daycare schedules, having to…
Wow. I've never heard about him, but reading the article I realized he used to live not 500 meters away from my house (a long time ago).
I've been using a Pi running XBMC for about a year. It's connected to a big hard drive. I can copy stuff there from my laptop (movies, music, etc.) It works pretty well; I don't remember having to "service" it in any…
You seem to be forgetting the folks writing the code running on those servers...
Yes. If only JetBrains could release an IntelliJ-based IDE for C#, that'd be nice.
Seems pretty interesting. And official MS support for running the whole thing on Mono, right now, isn't that pretty big?
Funny how this post made me realize I've often been confronted with people wanting to implement 'agile' by imposing us to follow strict processes. I'd never seen it that way, even if the irony is pretty obvious.
In my experience, Typescript support in IntelliJ/Webstorm has always been sketchy --- so much that I find it quite unfair that they would mention this as a feature of the paying version. I still use it, but I often get…
Hmm technically you don't need an IDE to make good use of Typescript. It works very well as a standalone compiler installed using npm, and you get static type checking etc. which is really the point of Typescript IMHO…
Lucene does have competition, mostly in the commercial world. I know, since I work for one of those companies :p Solr, ElasticSearch, etc. are mostly concerned about the index/search features, and they do quite a good…
Remote worker here, I agree with most things he said. I work with an on-site team, and I'm the only remote worker in that group. We use a permanent Hangout that I can keep opened in the background, in order to hear…
I think they are. I'm a Canadian living in France, and I pretty much hate McDonalds here. Fries are soggy and not salted enough, burgers are completely messed up, and the service is impressively slow. I tried several…
Given the beard, a wizard staff would be more appropriate. Gandalf fighting against software patents! Good tidings indeed!
Coveo, Quebec City, Canada We're in the enterprise search business. That's Google for BigCorp. Our own search engine. It's hard, and it's fun. We use many technologies. The top ones are C++, C#, Java, Scala, JavaScript,…
"their provider changed the imap server" "learning english" Funny, I had to fix a very similar issue with my french in-laws IMAP just yesterday. Just for science, are your in-laws French and using Free.fr as an ISP?
A colleague of mine used to be some kind of manager/director at that company (in another country though). He once described his former job as "milking the government". They hire the lowest quality engineers (e.g. the…
I wasn't speaking about the tech, especially the recent one which I find to be pretty nice (well, some of it at least). My point was about perception of MS tools in the larger tech community. At some point you get tired…
Another thing to keep in mind is the political aspect of choosing a tech stack, especially for a startup... As you'll surely notice right here in the comments, MS tools are not what you could call fashionable in many…
Errr, it says Visual Studio will limit the path length for now. Windows already support longer path names, if you use the right APIs. My understanding is that it's not worth going over all of their code to use the newer…
Maybe we should stop putting all older engineers in the same basket, and same thing goes for the younger ones. I've known some older engineers (older than me, heh) make crap decisions because they didn't like change.…
Well said.
