Is this "cloud oriented" or "AWS oriented"?

That would be my one major drawback against starting up here in Norway. I've seen calculations of how companies like Facebook would fare if they started up in Norway, and it wasn't pretty. You pay tax on the value of your shares, even if the company isn't making money...

However, for start-ups that aren't looking to have hundreds of millions of users/customers before breaking even, it is still worth a shot!

If you ask a Norwegian: "Did you hear what Erna said yesterday?", everyone will know who you're talking about. That's just the kind of country Norway is ;)

For 2016, the overall average salary in Norway was about 5500 USD per month.

Am I the only one who thinks "Atlassian design" looks a lot like "Visual Studio Online design"?

This doesn't sound unthinkable in other countries. I'm from Norway, where the maximum prison sentence is 21 years, with a third of that often being deducted for good behavior, leaving 14 years.

I stand corrected :)

Old: This is probably the best known board game for small children in Norway, known as Ludo (https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo - Norwegian).

I can see your point, but I would never pay for a product like this without a free demo version.

These Visual Studio extensions often have the side effect of taking up way too much of the computers resources. Without having a fully functioning (time limited?) version of the product on my machine, working with a large VS solution, I will just move on and probably have forgotten about this by tomorrow...

With a free version available, I would have tested it and if it works as well as in the video, I'd most likely pay for it and recommend it to colleagues by the end of the day.

As a word it looks pretty dead: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=shareware

Many projects are small, and even big projects tend to be split into many smaller projects. In those cases, it is vital that everyone on the team can do anyone elses job if they have to. You tend to get one role most of the time, but you need to be able to understand the whole project.

I would recommend looking into "old fashioned", established companies who do their own development. I've worked with banks a few times, and they seem to often still do the "database department", "back end department" and "front end department" thing. I'm sure there are other areas too, but that's the only one I've had experience with.

What data is this based on?

I think you make a good point. In a similar situation (I wasn't personally involved), I know the consultant charged 20 % of the normal rate for being "on duty" and charged the normal rate for every begun half hour of active service. Had it been me, I would have used a similar model.

With micro service architecture being one of the big buzz words at the moment, I see this as a great way to separate individual micro services (with some clever routing in front). Using Nano would make these services separate and easy to update without affecting eachother. Continous delivery FTW :-)

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but where's the guarantee that these ID's are unique? As far as I can tell, an ID is made up of a timestamp and a random number, generated by the JavaScript enginge - and typically seeded with the current time.

Wouldn't that give relatively good chances that for a system with many users, two users would actually generate the same ID?

People scan web pages - they don't read them. Especially in a typical scenario like this, you just check that you've ordered what you thought and look at the price and move on the the wizard.

I looked at the picture you linked to, and even when I knew what I was looking for, I spent at least 5 seconds before I noticed the VIP membership. 5 seconds is more than I'll use on a step like this when purchasing something.

In my mind this is a scam and I will not recommend anyone to use this site. Don't get me wrong - I like the business idea in general, but there should be an option during checkout where you have to actively choose if you want to be a member or not. Anything which cost you money (especially recurring fees) should always require an active action from the customer!

I'm not sure what he meant, but I read it to mean that HD is free in Europe for those who've purchased SD, where as it costs extra in the US. Does that make sense?

I stand corrected about JS - updated comment above. I still don't understand what this is, though.

I don't ridicule the work that's gone into this - I just don't get what it is... A browser engine which doesn't use HTML/CSS and which isn't in competition with Chrome/Firefox/IE...? We would just like a better explaination :)

(Edited to remove JS from the "doesn't use" list - my bad)

Amazing, Revolutionary, Useless... and let's not forget buggy! And with horrible support... My device was not able to recalibrate, a problem shared with many others should I believe the forum. A week or two has passed, and no reply from the makers of the device, neither on the forum or on my bug report.

I guess I just got another hunk of junk to put in the failed-devices-closet... :-(

When co-founding a laundry related service and promoting it in a photo while wearing a branded t-shirt, wouldn't it be a good idea if that t-shirt wasn't full of wrinkles? ;-)

"Vi vil ikke overlevere brukerdata til myndighetene om vi ikke mottar en kjennelse fra norsk rettsvesen"

meaning

"We will not hand over user data to the government if we do not receive a ruling from the Norwegian judicial system"

which is pretty much the same thing as the Patriot Act in the US...

But as far as PRISM goes - that's a whole other matter!

Hehe - I'm just de opposite :) Not a fan of electronic music at all - but can't stop listening to Skrillex :-) So I guess they're not that related after all :-p

Finally got an emulator running :-D

"Start quickly." - not today, but hopefully in the future?

"Run smoothly." - ehmmm... Nope! Smooth as barbed wire...

"Are lightweight." - perhaps, but that makes little difference if it fails the first two bullet points.

Fantastic idea - had it worked. Let's hope it will with some tweaking :-)
