I had heard from square, but never bothered to look up what they exactly do. I've been surfing through their wikipedia entry and website (very nice design!), and it looks very intriguing. Now the question is of course, who has had some expe

First of all, I very much doubt that she actually worked 130 hours per week with any regularity. That comes to 18.5 hours per day, including sundays. Even assuming that she could survive with 3 hours of sleep per day (yeah, sure), it leaves

I've looked around a bit, but I didn't find how do you configure the layouts. Is it with a config in a particular language, a la XMonad, or something else?

"if someone wants to track you, they will find a way." true, but the key thing is how much effort does it take. If NSA-like resources are needed, well then you are pretty damn safe. But if some guy can find you in two minutes by using just

What are you waiting for to write those posts? I'd love to read how you manage to change your country of residence, and about all the small things that you have to consider.

that is not true. In Europe, when you say "I have 30 days of holidays", that means 30 days that you can personally take off whenever you want (more or less). National holidays, like Christmas, are never counted because they are free for eve

I live in Germany, and I know many engineers who work for one of the big carmakers (either directly or through some external company). Most of them are under some form of collective bargaining agreement. They have a lot of nice perks, like

I think the biggest change for regular users is a good package manager. ELPA is coming per default in emacs24, and there is a project in github (el-get) that is even better. I have a pretty big emacs config, and configuring some external mo

I liked a lot this sentence: "Do you have 20 years experience or do you have the same 1 year of experience twenty times" If you have been doing the same thing 10 years without ever learning something new, in my view that is not a very big a

I am a fan of Guava, not just as a very useful library, but as a way to read really good Java code. Check the source out, it is imo a must if you are a java dev. One thing I'm not a fan of is the functional stuff. The idea is good, but java

I try to always fly with Lufthansa, even if it is a bit more expensive. They are usually on time and they serve food and drinks. You can almost guarantee that Iberia will have some delay. KLM is also nice. To avoid: Ryanair. Seriously, even

I think this 'tax amnesty' borders on extortion. So all these companies used every loophole they could find to pay lower taxes, and now they want to bring the booty back, and it has to be for free. Assuming this happens, what prevents them

Summary: "We want to fill positions using ancient and obsolete systems that nobody would like to touch, BUT we are not going to pay any premium for it. We wonder why developers are not falling over themselves to come work for us."

For the iPhone, if you want to check if you are sharing your contacts, open the Facebook app, go to Main Menu > Friends, click the icon on the upper right and then Sync Contacts. I believe the syncing option is off by default

For blog posts, README's for github and stuff like that the source in markdown kind of looks better than the equivalent HTML tag soup. In fact, I wouldn't mind if javadoc supported it too.
