Definitely agree. If you're thinking that you're missing out on life then make the change, go down a tangential path. Do not go through life bitching & whining that you didn't make the most of an opportunity. Take the s

There will always be someone who does something better than you, regardless of whether it is related to programming or not. Some people have more of an aptitude for a particular skill than you but that doesn't mean you're a failu

Interesting article, but annoyed that it doesn't feature Norway in the country comparison. The Norwegian start-up market may be small, but it is growing.

When I was 7 my parents gave me a Commodore VIC-20 and after tiring of playing games, I wanted to make my own. Started out with copying game listings out of magazines in basic, then moved on to assembly, pascal, and then C. Fast forward 30

Started when I was 7 with a Commodore VIC-20, so 31 years ago. I was curious about how things worked with it, so started making my own games. Had a couple of generic games published for the C64 in my teens though. Back of magazine fodder,

Norway isn't in the EU, but it is in the EEA. Its easy to get the residence permit for EU citizens. I'm from the UK and settled here 8 years ago. All it took was a trip to the tax register in Oslo, fill in a few forms and that&#

It is more common in Europe to hold the fork in your left hand rather than your right. But I think that has more to do with handedness than anything. I'm right-handed, yet hold the fork in my right hand and often get comments about be

There's no mention of using Google authentication anywhere other than after clicking the login or sign-up buttons and you get the oAuth permissions/Google login page. Also, if you cancel the oAuth request, you get an internal serv

Fearmongering at its worst. No better than Jenny McCarthy. Also mentions very little regarding the UK as stated in the title.

Google Apps for Business is a good choice for individuals. I use it for several accounts and it works lovely. However, they recently stopped accepting free sign-ups and is now a paid service. $5/user/month won't break the bank.

I find there's very little that is typical about programmers other than in an abstract way. Compilers/editors/etc. It largely depends on the domain in which they are working, and their own preferences to the tools the use.

Although I attended university for a couple of years, I dropped out once I figured out I'd had enough of structured learning. At the time, it was not for me. I've been programming since I was 7, professionally since I was 21 and I'm now in

As a Brit living in Norway, I thought it was strange when I first learned of the tax lists being published for public consumption. I have to admit to looking up people I know, celebrities, and others on the tax lists. More out of idle curi
