Yes, that's a good example

How about just using the builder pattern?

You can find senior positions up to 5000-6000EU. That's the good part. Unfortunately, I wouldn't call it a city with a good intellectual atmosphere. I suspect it's one of the worst places if ranked by this factor - it's full with sketchy people in sketchy "businesses", corruption and low level of education.

Disclosure: I'm Bulgarian who used to live in UK and France, and now considering emigrating again due to the reasons stated above.

This. Lack of fractional scaling is a big deal. I have 15" Full HD screen on my laptop, and everything is too small without fractional scaling (I prefer to have it set at 1.125/1.25).

The white paper is great

In the past, in Bulgaria, gypsies used to illegally connect to the electricity network to avoid paying bills. Nowadays there's a shift in that trend - there are numerous cases of people running mining farms the same way.

I regret buying the 9560. Changed the screen under warranty 4 times and it either had a pink tint (twice), uneven backlight or backlight bleed. In the end I was just tired and decided to keep it as it is. My girlfriend got a MBP recently. This is when I realized how spending $2100 on XPS was not very smart.

Just try playing any instrument - you'll soon realize that we're quite good at figuring out what sounds good and what not.

Or it was the schizophrenia that made him heavily addicted to weed?

I was smoker for 9 years - I thought I enjoyed smoking, I can't live without it, etc. A friend recommended a book - Alan Carr's Easy Way. Tried quitting before and it never worked. After reading the book it didn't feel hard, it just made sense. Recommended the book to 2 friends who also quit. Give it a try.

You'll never have all requirements

Palantir's blueprint is also a great UI kit for react. I'm surprised nobody brought it up.

We're deprecating a legacy OpenID connect implementation and rebuilding the entire user onboarding experience. Part of this requires rebuilding the authentication layer. This is the first time I used their APIs. Instead of sticking with the heard, twitter decided to stick to their OAuth1 implementation instead of adopting the standard today - OpenID. What's worse is that they've come with the ingenious OAuth Echo, which requires you to ship your mobile applications credentials embedded in the code, virtually public to anyone who decides to poke around.

You don't even have to trust the software or the hardware. All that is important is votes to be cast as intended and the tally to be correct. End-to-end cryptographically verifiable voting systems achieve that by different means (zero knowledge proofs, etc.) An example is the Pret-a-Voter voting protocol. It uses re-encryption mix nets to provide verifiability (close how Tor works).

I personally don't think the events can be compared. Brexit has a lot of (unknown) implications for the UK, due to the fact that it's not clear what deal they'll get from the EU. On the other had Trump being elected president is just a change of the president of the US. There's no immediate threat.

~$100k is not unheard of

Are you considering remote applicants from Europe?

Are you considering remote applicants outside from Europe?

For example, you won't find Southwest fares except on their own website.

Wrong example. I have worked on the Southwest Project when I was at Amadeus.

ELK with AWS hosted Elastic Search. Works like a charm with Kubernetes.

What a surprise!

I went to their website, read a few pages of the content, and I still have no idea what is this and why they're close to $100MM funding.

I've used autosock on a few occasions. It's not as good as the good old chains but never had any problems. Here (in Bulgaria) during the winter we often hit -15/-20 C and the roads are rarely cleaned - they are icy and snowy for the first few days after the snowfall. My experience tells me that the better the brand of the autosock is, the more durable it is.

And still, I was probably 30% cheaper than a local consultant. Anyway, if a relationship starts in this way I cannot image what working with the client would be, so I did myself a favor.

Yeah, like the UK universities I attended offered me a discount for being Bulgarian ...

EDIT: funny as it is, my rates were probably a third less than what a local consultant would have charged them.

Actually, this wasn't the reason. I already knew the guy who approached me. They were developing a data analytics solution quite similar to others I have worked on/built in the past. They needed a developer with a real-world product experience in their domain. Unfortunately, it wasn't my acquaintance who was responsible for the hiring.

Luckily, the software development market is global and there are some really sane people out there.

I am based in Bulgaria and I recently had my first experience with a potential Swiss employer. It was rather unpleasant. After I went through 5 interviews we discussed my rates (as a remote consultant). I received a low ball counter offer which was about the half of what I usually charge. This quickly became a racist rant and a senior manager at the company tried to persuade me by saying that with the money they offered I'll "live like a king" in Bulgaria. Needless to say I politely declined because I would much rather work with people that value my work. I was really surprised that such unprofessional attitude came from Swiss company, but apparently it's not so uncommon judging by the blog post.

Ah, ok. I just got confused here.
