I may be a bit late on this one, but here goes :) It's technically feasible.. but in my opinion, if it's happened with you then it's very likely to be happening with others. There's no one single way to setup telco infra

The ITU provides the answers you need, in various forms. But captured well here - https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/treg/VoIP.pdf where it says... "In India, VoIP is allowed, but only for computer-to-computer communi

I think it'd be fun to ask their thoughts on something controversial, within a field relevant to the role. Doesn't have to be technical, in my opinion.

Just remember you deserve to be paid something equivalent to the value you will add to the business.

There was an article along the lines of ‘100 top developer tips’. One of them was something like ‘don’t under estimate the value of wasting time on hacker news’. Held true!

Something on the back of your car, that using a combination of your speed, the distance between you and the car behind you, an understanding of the weight of both cars (using a lookup on the Reg), and the stopping distance, taking into acco

I would say it's a dangerous road. Child or not! Imagine being challenged at work... in a sales team, for example. Make a sale, get to do a lucky dip. Say two people make an equivalent sale, one wins and the other doesn't. I would

Just some food for thought based on some recent experiences. Sometimes, you'll be taking a job that someone in the team thinks they should have been offered - but didn't for whatever reason (perhaps current management weren't

Really? That's almost same thing you say to vocally authorise yourself with HMRC in the UK... It's something like "My voice is my password". I wouldn't want me saying that phrase released into public...

I appreciate there's a sense of logic that manufactures the sounds that this produces. But, in every practical sense, the sounds are seemingly random to the listener. Abstract expressionist art can be enjoyed regardless of the fact it&

Are you able to measure which cold calls are filtered, that you would otherwise like to hear? For example... A call from a garage to say your car is ready to be picked up, or perhaps some kind of emergency service? I imagine their calls wou

Neat! There's a business called Pindrop that conduct an analysis of audio data to guess where a call is originating from. The idea being, if a call originates from somewhere like India it'll take roughly a certain route that will

FWIW... I use Spotify quite a lot, and when I first open the app, I'm immediately presented with pre-curated playlists that seem to cater what I might need at that time. On a Sunday morning, I get 'Sweet soul Sunday' or &#x27

note: have been happy with my current job for a while now. But as a contractor for a few years, I have experience with the job search process. It's not enough to just be the best. You have to be (one of) the first applicants. I wrote a

As a musician, I like to listen and appreciate the technique, passion or effort spent in making the music. Depends on my mood!

Do it! You've got nothing to lose. Write stuff that wouldn't be appropriate in a CV. Such as, why you want to work for them in particular. Have a look at their job spec, try and understand their key motivation in wanting someone t

For what it's worth, the agreement (or lack of) is between the company and the recruiter. It's none of your business! If asked about it by either party, I would refer them to the other party and simply state you have no authority

Considering my whole career, I'd say you should probably get used to it and evolve! I don't mean to sound defeated. Sometimes projects are done 'properly'. Documentation... Good code over 'code that just works'

I commute Nottingham>London about 3 times a week. Coding/working on the train is the only way to stay sane! I have a Macbook Pro 2017 13". It's the first Macbook I've ever owned. It barely weighs a thing (1.37KG). Fee

Referring to FreeSWITCH in particular here (although it is the case for Asterisk, OpenSIPS and Kamailio at least)... The books cover those topics!

Maybe you've chosen the wrong job? You claim to have oodles of experience. Both technically (as a 'coder') but based on some of your other comments, also an architect and even a people manager.

Hotmail apparently! 2001! Honorable mention to my MySpace account, from 2005. Which I just visited and it took much longer to load than a random more recently created one. I wonder if they archive old accounts?

Indeed, but I'd like to add that these recruiters are often penalised if the candidate leaves the business before a set period. So they have a financial motive with not just placing a candidate, but also them staying there.

Food for thought... Whilst you might find the 'typical post-conference drinks to be incredibly tedious', you will find that this same thing (or something similar, in principle) will encompass part of being an exec at most business
