This article is regarding Apple's EU profits, the Yahoo statement (I think?) is global profits. Also the income statement says: All numbers in thousands So you need to add 000 to the end of those numbers

Well the sample was testing against twitter (obviously prod). So someone may test against prod if they didn't really know what these things could do.

Agree, it seems like a pretty straight forward approach. Having said that, one year out of university is a good time to take as much risk as you like so its not too important at that stage. It may even help motivate if you know you will ben

Likewise: 1;DROP TABLE users 1'; DROP TABLE users-- Seems a bit hairy to have that in there in case someone tries to run these tests on their prod environment

If you're main goal is "to have some steady income via side project" then it doesnt matter which language you pick. What matters is the product you create and whether people will use it and/or pay for it.

Compared to the interest only part, the savings are significant. Way more than 200 per month. The capital repayments are not money lost in the same way that rent would be (assuming your house price doesnt plummet and you are forced to sell

No, slack free plan only allows 10000 messages to be saved at any one time. Nothing to do with user limit. Unbelievable that a service like this would change the key part of their platform without even checking the pricing page to see what

I disagree, this view is too simplistic. It's very different to owning shares in a company. You have to either buy a house or rent. You cant opt out entirely, whereas you can with shares. By choosing to rent, you are betting on the hou

True, but then that is not what he said, you conveniently reworded it ;)

You may want to mention where you live and/or are available to work from, also adding a resume may be nice

Thats unfortunate, you just red flagged yourself! I think its time to never ask your interview candidates that question again.

Hmm, I don't think not fully understanding existing tools and not wanting to read documentation is a good reason. You can easily add prompting with maven, gradle etc, test result reporting, source control integration is all built in. T

Yep, nonsense in = nonsense out. This "study" is pointless.

I am also interested to know. Could be because they're (generally) cheaper?

I believe the parent comment is talking about website owners. A quick check of a website I run says 96% of hits come from Google. If Google decide to block that site or put it on page 10, the site is dead.

Didn't see that little gem. If I signed up and received a phone call within 30 mins Id probably go ahead and close the account. Email replies doesn't actually mean anything, would be interesting to see what kind of user rentention

The article mentions this as a question if you want to confine the amount of money you spend: “How much do you want to invest before we stop?” I think this is one of the fundamental issues with Agile, if a client wants to hire a consultancy

There's a difference between constructive negative feedback and trying to subtly belittle someone. Not knowing about something is not really a negative feedback point

That's a terrible analogy. More along the lines of using a sledge hammmer to crack a nut is probably more appropriate here. Java is very powerful but sometimes using it for very simple programs can be overkill Also, have you heard the
