Google Australia salaries for Mid-Level Web Developers sit around the $110-150k mark. Senior Developers, team leads etc can be earning $180-300k. Source: I know a lot of Googlers and find salaries interesting

Yeah it seems odd that there are more people in Alice Springs than in Perth. Must just be "Australia".

Things like: * Scalability - you can resize a button and get the correct look * Simplicity - you don't need to create 1x and 2x resources Downsides are that it can be slow and it muddies up your code base.

I've personally seen points used as an area measure, but I think you're more correct. I'll update the article later tonight.

People writing their first web app rarely do. Though in this case most of these things are covered by Rails' "Secure by Default" approach. Also, comments like these are what turn newbies away from programming. It's really hard to start out,

We've had some of our designers at work use this approach. I think it's quite good for illustrating intentions. But then building on top of the designed Storyboard doesn't quite work out. Storyboards work well for simple apps with standard

I really enjoyed this. I like the way it models the sorts of management problems one might have in the real world by interfacing with the problem in conversation and instruction.

If you go around and talk to everyone you can see what the goal is and what problems you'll face. You need to get the Radio fixed within 40 days. The engineer can fix it the fastest, however you need the rest of the team (and the fire) to s

You're right. I went overboard with my conclusion, the intention was to focus attention on the fact that using a single tool results in lots of similar results and to highlight the flaws in that tool. There are plenty of other tools we coul

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're saying is wrong. I understand your point about physics engines perhaps being the wrong tool here, and I can see that. But the main focus was on how the standard tooling for UI animations is incapable of

The problem isn't in timing functions. It appears whenever the "distance" involved in a transition is dynamic (rather than specified by the designer/developer).

by taybenlor 13y ago
TL;DR: If a transition changes values that are dependent on dynamic user input you get an unrealistic effect where small differences take as long to transition as large differences (because transitions usually have a fixed duration).

If you manage to find it, I'd love to read it :)

http://whether.io - Australian Store only. I've made about $100 in around 6 months. No advertising beyond initial push on social networks. Made about $40 in first week (all people I know, I assume). Now I get around 1 purchase each week.

It's open source, fork it and make these changes yourself.

I got into iOS development via RubyMotion. I was a Rails developer for a few years, now I'm an iOS developer (using Objective C). I've only really started with Objective C and XCode. Objective C isn't a huge barrier, but Cocoa and XCode def

Most important thing on modern.IE: Get a free 3-month trial of Browser Stack sponsored by Microsoft. Normally you get a 15minute trial. Just go to the Virtual Tools page.

Reposting my comment from the website here (unreadable there): I contacted support about this a while ago (was in a similar situation). Their response was "Use more than one web dyno". I didn't need more than one, but that was the only way

That actually sounds kind of awesome. It's easy to get sick of the same Rails news over and over. Plus Ruby has such a vibrant and exciting world beyond Rails.

I live in Australia and AFAIK this has been common practice for at least the last 5 years. I know people who have received these notices in the mail. Though with recent precedent set in iiNet vs MPAA I can't imagine anything like this being
