Sad thing is, looking at the room prices, I could either rent a studio flat for the same cost, or flat share for a whole lot less. In London, if you shop around, or just have friends, you can do so much better than this. This screams of taking naive, lonely, rich new grads for all they have.
Congratulations. Most junior developers take a good couple of years to realise that they're shitty developers. That might sound like a troll, but seriously, there's a point (well, several actually) in every good software devs career that they realise they actually suck at software. That's when they can start to really get better.
I'm rather skeptical as well (I'd hate to see wood burning become a long term "solution" to coal), but this should answer some of the questions in your post: http://www.pelletcouncil.org.u...
The source is likely to be biased as it's the uk pellet council, who have a vested interest in the fuel, but it does provide *some* useful information.
It looks like trees *are* replanted in the UK. It also seems that wood pellets are a tad different from tree wood, so you can't really compare your wood burner to an industrial burning plant. You may well still be correct about the fuel, but some of your post looks mislead.
But this should really be the last straw. If you've been polite and respectful in your previous rejections, and ultimately asked the person to stop contributing in a firm but kind way, then it's on their head if they refuse to accept the rejection and get a much tougher response.
Yes, I agree it's not a personal attack, but being too aggressive too soon will make it look like it is.
Merge conflict resolution can be taught in a very small amount of time. It's not very complicated at all. If you're training a team who are new to version control, this will not take long and will avoid the additional training needed should the team crossover to git later. I'd stay a million miles away from training a team on SVN instead of git if I had an opportunity like this.
Also, please note, I'm not simply pro-git. If you really don't want to use git, use mercurial. I've used a fair few different version control tools in my professional career, and I'm a little tired of developers having to re-train and move away from svn when they could have started with the tool they have migrated to in the first place.
That would fit, but only if it was normal to find cars parked in abundance that are unlocked and welcome people to open the door and get in. As it stands, the only reason to try a car door is if you are authorized to enter, or have malicious intent.
I'm guessing (and it really is just a guess), that it's because neither Windows or Mac have ever used it as their primary desktop toolkit, while Linux has.
Who says you have to be looking for survivors? Finding bodies in a life raft or even the schooner itself would bring closure to the families. Not knowing what's happened to a loved one can be worse than finding them dead.
Yes, I've worked with people who are great at pair programming and those who are not so good. I find that when working with someone who really gets PP you end up with two programmers (or more!) working together, both of them on the same page, catching mistakes and improving how the code is written. When working with someone who just starts coding and expects their partner to magically understand what they've decided to do then it can be impossible to keep up or figure out what on earth they're doing. At that point you have a programmer programming and another programmer wasting their time scratching their head.
PP works wonderfully when you pair people up correctly and train everyone involved how to effectively work like that, but if you don't then you waste resources and frustrate your coders.
Er, I don't think Europe actually has that kind of attitude. I work in the UK and have never come across a company (white collar or otherwise) where colleagues don't socialise.
I'm another who would keep on working if I won the lottery. It not that I have no imagination, I just honestly like what I do. I like the people I work with (they also happen to be friends), I like the work (most of the time) and I would be doing something similar at home as a hobby if I wasn't doing it professionally. Though doing stuff at home by yourself when you could be working with other like-minded people is not nearly as fun.
That said, I'd definitely have more exciting weekends and holidays:)
If you ever find work that you love doing then I would think you'd change your mind about the whole having no imagination thing.
That's certainly a possibility. I would prefer the occasional unjust (unjust IMHO anyway) outcome that sets nasty men free provided it also allows outcomes that allows good men from having their lives destroyed:)
My final year project for my CS degree was pretty much doing what this patent describes, and it was submitted in 2008, two years ahead of this patent being filed. I even have a conference paper (published with my project supervisor) published in the same year, so there's lots of hard evidence. I also know that there's a few other projects that could claim prior art to this patent, and precedes my own work. I'm pretty sure there's more than enough prior art in the world to blow this out of the water should it be challenged in court. Heck, I'm surprised the USPTO had the gall to allow this one through at all.
IMHO you should change that to just "Do something on the side to improve your skills and experience in the area you want to be in.":) Even if it's the area you currently work in. If you don't love the thing you're either already working in or want to work in enough to do so, then it's the wrong thing for you.
Don't forget to add in the European laws to that. Even if the UK decided to recognise US patents, developers could still get rulings overturned in European courts.
I'm sure they can claim that the IP agreement was just for the W7 app and these new ports are exempt from the agreement. So now they own the IP for your ports and still get 30% from the revenue of the original W7 app. They most likely also charge a 30% fee for the apps listing.
Of course, you could always use the W7 app as a litmus test for popularity and if you then think you can make some real cash, leave you MS job and then write the ports.
What are you talking about? Nearly every single provider has unlimited download offers. They're not usually too expensive either. This is been the case for many years.
Heck, I can't remember the last time I went to someone's house and they had a limit.
I have a sourceforge project. All I did was pull down the repo to another location and run a diff on my working repo and the one I pulled down. There were no unexpected differences. I'm struggling to see why this is so hard to understand. It's simple to figure out if your project has changed in an unexpected way. It also easy to overwrite the repository on the sourceforge server with a clean one if you are suspicious.
Seriously, an attack this public will not catch out many projects. And I fail to see how someone would be able to "prove" that a project stole code when it's been made so public that SF was compromised. Just that fact would cast a huge amount of doubt over that sort of claim. Especially when one of the developers hands over an untainted version from their home machine for inspection.
Um...each developer will have a working copy on their local machine. This is most likely to be the last known good version. A quick diff will show up the changes that they've recently made and they can verify that the differences are valid. It's really not that complicated.
If someone wants to go through the trouble of hacking the version control to the point it can propagate to the developers machine, stop them from reverting changes that may have been pulled down just before the repositories were locked down, I'm pretty sure they'd be smart enough to break into sourceforge without making such a big mess and alerting everyone. We can go around with increasingly unlikely scenarios forever but the fact is, a quick check is all that's realistically required.

UK population = 65,299,992
Tokyo population = 13,620,000
That's more like 4.8 Tokyos

Adder would be a more appropriate substitution, surely.

+1 for pythonanywhere.com . Not only a good solution but some great folks run the site.
Mint is probably the closest to Kubuntu you'll get.

A lot of python 2 libs won't have too much trouble running under 3 without modifications.
Many Internet services are not covered by the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA)
They do realise that even more Internet services are not even in the US....right? Or does their jurisdiction actually extend to other countries now?
