At some point personal/family emergency meant that instead of "regular" 1800km of both wife and myself driving across Europe - I was about to drive that on my own, all in one go/day. And then few days later back. To ease

Just to be sure I'm getting the question - you want to use rsync(1), and you're wondering if there's a good way to guard your code that's using/calling it from underlying changes in rsync options and output, how to

I'd imagine that chances are high that whatever name you pick for something in one language - there would be another language in this world in which same or similar word means bad/offensive thing.

This is basically the first time I hear about any country with a bias against developers without university degree. Sure there might be general immigration law blockers. Though pretty much anywhere in Europe that I've checked or know a

I'm not so sure about always "stay indoors" part - in particular in case the dams leak and half of the country is about to be under water. I guess depends on the height of your house - though in quite a few places even roofto

Perhaps msluyter was thinking of big companies that smaller ones can't match on spending power. Either way - if you trained/grown someone to become much more valuable for other companies and still can't create enough value wo

Exactly - though speed keeping is nice for long road-trips simply not to get foot cramps. Anyway, I'm yet to see a video of Tesla doing emergency breaks because of highway pileup where it's not only a couple of seconds after huma

In practice it just doesn't happen to the level that makes changing jobs worth it. When it comes to base salary - sure you might get salary that's bigger than existing employees in same role. And then on first annual cycle they&#x

I can wholeheartedly recommend Amsterdam (or surrounding places). Everyone speaks English, pay is good, and work-life balance makes a lot of difference. Commutes are generally short, you get ~26 paid holidays per year (sick leave is separa

TL;DR: No conspiracy - it's (slightly) different movies. At least for Cars 2 - Australian version (right at the start of video) is literally different from other English versions (around 3:30) - https://youtu.be/SaYmI7x

I've recently switched into doing "fit interviews", partially because it started to feel repetitive after 5 years (estimated 700-1000 candidates) of doing technical interviews. For us fit interviews make sense enough that we

If you go into anything with mindset that nothing will change - it's more likely that it will not change. And if it turns out company is so bad and reacts like you've described - then you at least know you really don't want t
