US companies are free to not operate in Europe. There's nothing special about US software engineering vs. software engineering made elsewhere from a purely technical and know-how point of view. The key difference is availability of cap

It's interesting how simplicity so often gets mistaken for a lack of sophistication. Designing a language for clarity and maintainability is a laudable goal, and so is choosing to use one. Chasing complexity, or reaching for the latest

Comparing VAT to an Import Tax is unbelievably stupid.

First, Joaquim Miranda Sarmento is not the Portuguese Prime Minister, but the Minister of Finance. Second, the tax breaks were removed at the end of last year because of a widespread feeling in the general populace that these were deeply un

I have not noticed issues with YouTube, but it's been clear to me how gimped Firefox is compared with Chrome on Google Meet. Some missing minor features, sluggish performance and lower streaming quality to name a few.

Mac is required for designing, which in pratice most designers are using in the vast majority of organizations, so it's not really an issue. For feedback and handoff the web tool is free and works in any OS that has a browser. https:&

In practice the vast majority of designers are using Mac, so it's not like it not being cross platform was the problem. The thing that made Sketch lose against Figma was that they never really tackled the issue of collaboration until F

No need to wait 2 years. Sketch already provides a free web accessible developer handoff tool.

Based on that, you might like "First Formic War" trilogy that are a prequel to Ender's Game.

I opened YouTube music app, for which I pay premium and tried to find the podcasts I listen to. I wasn't able to find any filter for podcasts and neither did search yield the podcasts I listen to via Google Podcasts. FFS Google.

If people don't join because of that, then I'd say that's a filter and I'm ok with that. In the Lisbon office of the company I work, on call was not a contributing factor for the people who have left. The vast majority w

team effort is a thing, and we want everyone to pull their own weight. In my team we work at most 40h week and on call alerts are rare events, we work to keep it that way and we need solid team spirit to do that. There are other companies t

Beeping is a rare event in my team, might happen 1-3 times in a week, or there are weeks it doesn't beep at all, and we work to keep it that way.

evidently the pay must be adjusted to how painful the on call experience is. as I said it is optional, no harm comes to you for not participating, and we have people with very good reasons for not helping the team support the code they them

who said there is a social penalty? There are a number of reasons which I explained in a reply below.

it is optional, e.g if you have extra work activities that impede you, family reasons etc. and in these cases it's A-OK! Where it's not so OK it's when there's no reason other than not wanting to do just because you just

At my company, specifically in my team we do on call, and: 1 - it's one week length 2 - it's paid extra 3 - it's optional, but you're a bit of a bad mate if you don't participate 4 - we try to have at least 6 people

True in regards to Skype, although that was an acquisition that was done under Balmer's and not Satya Nadella. In regards to LinkedIn I don't see what exactly you think has went/is wrong with LinkedIn from a product perspecti

Well... the thing is those guys really only approach foreigners. I am sorry for your experience, but as a nearly 30y old Portuguese who lives and works in Lisbon, I had that only happen to me once, and it was while speaking in English with

That makes no sense. We're not talking about a commodity that's for sale and thus, loses its market value as the market becomes saturated by Chinese knock-offs and look-a-likes. It's more than just a show for the mindless con

I think you're a bit too pretentious. Your problem is not such much the field in itself but of how others look at you and your idea of class.

Hispania != Spain. In any case, the westernmost region on the Iberian peninsula was and still is occupied by a country then known and still known as Portugal.

by devuo 9y ago
Surely you mean western shores of Portugal, or the Iberian Peninsula? Portugal was founded in 1139, Spain as a single entity, and not a collection of Kingdoms was founded in 1469, 200 and so years after Genghis Khan (1162-1227).

I have no idea in VSCode, but with JetBrains Gogland, debugging tests is stupidly easy. Simply add the breakpoint where you want it, left click on the play button in the line of the test declaration, click debug in the contextual menu, and
