Fish is the way to go! Used to be a fan of ZSH but also struggled with performance issues. No performance issue with Fish! Only issue might be plugins / some copy/paste bash stuff, but it's so worth the performance.

Data is impossible to read - seems like some people are converting their salary to USD, some others leave it in their home currency and a rare few provide the accurate currency. Interesting initiative though - would love to see this in a better format :)

Thank you - this is a wonderful ressource that I had lost in my list of bookmarks about data science. That's another good example of information overload.

Happy birthday Jacques. This is definitely an interesting eye opener article for a young professional like me, giving a clearer picture about how life can be for a curious technical person at 50.

12.75s vs 1.40s. This is quite impressive - looking forward to a faster Web, slowly migrating to HTTP/2.

Any clue if Amazon CDN service is / will offer HTTP/2 support too?

Nexus 4 received bad press in the past years after customer disappointment: overheating, camera issue (making the phone crash - warning about this bug in Snapchat), horrible battery life... This article is just another example.

Very disappointed to hear that it happened with a Google backed device - I hope Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 are more stable better. Not sure if I'll buy another Nexus phone in the future after reading all that.

tl;dr - Yes.

Studying is still very important and valued by a lot of companies. I'd recommend to study in something else "complimentary" that passionate you and learn/improve in software engineering outside school to have a more diversified skillset. That's what I did 4 years ago, landed my first software engineer job and now had the opportunity to move to London because of that!

I used to simply ignore that nag screen, but decided to buy a license of ST3 since I use it every day - best investment in a while. I hope to see a stable ST3 build soon and some nice new features soon :)!

Good approach to learn Go with simple examples. Thanks!

Can't wait to see some more crazy stuff done in WebGL! Working fine on my MBA 2014, but I think it's the first time I heard the fan spinning :)!
