Probably because forgetting to pull the handbrake is a very common cause of accidents?

I don't think I even paid them more per hour. The problem was that all the other companies only want to hire full time programmers, so I was able to hire them by offering a job with fewer hours. Also, they complained that their previou

I don't know about the situation in Spain, but what a lot of people in Austria mix up is that there are different types of terminating contracts. In Austria, the employer can terminate a contract immediately if the employee behaves in

Labour protections doesn't mean you are protected from being fired. You have to pay people the minimum salary depending on their trade, you have to give them 5 weeks of vacation, pay overtime, pay for health insurance and so on. Employ

That's a myth. How is it hard to fire someone? I live in Austria and you can fire people for pretty much any reason. You have to give them 6 weeks notice, and there are some extra protections for people who are old or who have disabili

I hired a developer who just wanted a cushy job and I offered him a cushy job. I offered 4 day work week, no on-call, no overtime, but paid less than their previous employer (because I couldn't afford it). I am sure lots of people valu

We recently flew to Gatwick and I was pleasantly surpised how quick everything was. Barely any waiting times, the hardest part was figuring out which train to London needs what ticket.

Do you think that websites really don't track you if you switch all the toggles?

Interesting. Maybe that's one of the reasons. I think there are multiple root causes. Another common issue I see is "failed to get app specific key"

Every year I battle with a few permission related bugs in my app. Somehow macOS will randomly block some file accesses on some machines in some circumstances. Take security scoped bookmarks. The only way that sandboxed apps can persistently

I'd love a replacement for Salami and Bacon. I don't think there is a healthy alternative that comes close.

I think that people really like violence, but no-one will publicly admit it. People want others to suffer. Nobody really cares about making the world a better place, or saving the climate or whatever. People just want a better life. But th

Wait until they hear about people travelling in camper vans that cook their own meals and just park by the roadside for sleeping! Or even worse, bicycle tourists who bivouac by the river, they don't even buy gas!

Dorms and hostels have multiple beds in a room, and guests share bathrooms & kitchens. This is similar.

But macOS requires app notarisation. They again made it harder to run un-notarised apps this year. If you look at the iOS side, it's clear that Apple has no qualms adding content restrictions for app notarisation, and it is more than j

Why not? Hostels work like that, and they are just fine. Lots of women staying in hostels. Usually they have woman only rooms and mixed rooms.

It's more like a dorm room / hostel, but with a privacy curtain. Accomodations like this are common for low cost travelling, the only difference is that these are for medium term stays.

The problem with popular tools is that they have more bugs that can be fixed. So bug reports are pretty much worthless: You know that there are 1000 bugs out there, but you only have resources to fix 10 of them. By asking users to provide r

We should probably look at developer salaries / hourly rates rather than GDP. Most of the people in developing countries don't need IDEs. But yeah, if you work for low rates, then you have to work more hours to pay for your tools.

Or if you have tax exempt revenue, like B2B sales to other countries.

by newaccount74 2y ago
Yeah, the reason that governments are introducing revenue-based taxes is because companies found a lot of loopholes to avoid paying profit-based taxes. This creates an unfair advantage of foreign companies compared to local companies, who h

The problem with "sales tax", or "value-added tax" in Europe, is that it applies only to consumers. Businesses can directly deduct any VAT that they pay from the VAT that they owe. If they pay more VAT than they owe, the

No. If you have money to pay for developers, you also have money to pay for tools. Especially since software licenses are going to be a tiny fraction of what the developers cost.
