Hey Tim, I knew what you were trying to get at, but wanted to point out that the sentence that you initially wrote wasn't entirely accurate. Of course I agree that attitude matters, but skills are certainly important, hence my comment.

Oona's work is always amazing. Loads of interesting hardware stuff in her blog. I wish I would be better at some mechanical engineering/electrical engineering stuff, my work is mostly web-related or big data stuff, never really ge

I didn't watch the numberphile video and just read this. Can someone explain to me why I am allowed to add a padding zero at the start without taking it out at the end? By adding it, I am giving the sum an offset, and I can kind of und

This is great, thanks! I unminified it first to look at the code, but it looks like its not doing anything nasty.

Exactly. The same is probably true for this one here: public bool ShowOptional() { bool bolReturn = false; return bolReturn; } There should be descriptions why the code snippets are supposed to be interesting, your and my exampl

Yes, if you have an IDE you don't have this problem at all. I am more with the VIM/Emacs crowd though I guess. I didn't know though that you could create an "evaluation window" in Eclipse. I really liked the refacto

Well, I looked into it but gave up soon-ish because it looked to annoying and my hack was sufficient for me at the time.

Ah, I forgot to mention gdb as well. gdb and python hooked me on this way of developing.

I am a fan of python. when developing python and needing a breakpoint I just write >> import pdb;pdb.set_trace() in the respective line and can then execute the code till that point and have all the current variables available in the

Well, I believe that people should be left alone as often as possible and should only be interfered with when urgently needed. But I also believe that commanding wealth comes with responsibilities, and if some people are not willing to act

Well, true, somebody that wants to game the system will find a way. However, you could still say that everything up to 20 Million* has a lower tax on it and you can give that to your kids in legal ways. I think Warren Buffett and Bill Gates

Exactly my opinion. And even though I normally lean towards free market related views when it comes to regulation and government, I think a high inheritance tax would be justified in western countries. With it universities & infrastruct

I am sorry, but what is the message here?

First of all I think that moving to another country because you don't like the US customs might be a bit extreme, but still: >> 2) Language barriers > One, you'd be amazed how much you can get across non verbally

You are reducing the room of possible passwords quite a lot, I am not sure if that is a good idea. Firstly e.g. for MD5 your hashes are never going to contain Letters > f, no uppercase and no special characters. Secondly you are limitin

It wasn't a startup, but my general consulting setup for several clients. Also, in those 12 weeks christmas, bank holidays and all that stuff were included. I think I worked more than 200 days in the end, but I like to calculate pessimistic

I've been freelancing in London and always calculate my yearly expected income by multiplying it with 200 to account for holiday, sick leave and general overhead. £350 * 200 = £70000 before taxes, I think £84000 is overly optimistic here.

I completely agree, it was a really inspiring read what this man has overcome and to learn about his positive attitude. Luckily I only have to pay a little for my studies in Germany, though many people are still complaining about the fees.
