For anyone interested in cheese, I really enjoyed the book "Reinventing the Wheel: Milk, Microbes and the Fight for Real Cheese" by Bronwen Percival and Francis Percival

For those interesting in fermentation in general, I can recommend the book "Wild Fermentation" by Sandor Katz.

Another company which is similar in coffee space is Technivorm, you can buy / replace all the parts, and I actually bought a 10+ years old machine which works flawless after replacing a few minor parts.

Care to share a list of some recommended places?

Foreigners as in British, American, Swiss or Austrian? Or people from bulk of the immigrant population (Turkey, Romania, Poland, Greece..)

I would think that ceiling exists in almost all countries, and US (and especially SV) does pretty well in terms of having non-natives in the higher rings of management. For example, Germany might have 20+ millions people with foreign roots (20%+ of population) and might look very welcoming to them, but you'd be hard pressed to find many in higher management roles.

AFAIK the underwriters typically don't buy and sell the stock themselves - but offer it to their clients, who can buy the shares at the IPO price instead of the opening price. The underwriters then charge a fee based on the size of the IPO.

It's a distributed data processing engine - not specific to just a distributed java.util.stream implementation, that is just one of the uses of it.

It provides fast distributed computation as an infrastructure component - Jet is fully embeddable in your application.

I can recommended Danish architect Jan Gehl's book - Cities for People (https://www.amazon.com/Cities-People-Jan-Gehl/dp/159726573X) for inspiration.

Regarding 4), the numbers reported are quarterly. You can see the annual chart here:

I think UK is only place where rents are advertised as per week, found it very weird when living there.

Regarding the Canadian visa situation, how easy is it for a non-resident senior Java dev to find a job in Vancouver and get sponsorship for a visa? Here in UK most companies will not even consider applicants who are not residents.

As someone who had to teach myself kdb/Q recently, I can recommend the Q for Mortals book: http://code.kx.com/wiki/JB:QforMortals2/contents

Interesting to see that they use Erlang. http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/SFBay2012/speakers/...

I wonder if this is still valid?

A mathematical explanation: http://calculus7.org/2012/02/25/playing-with-numbers-998001-...

Flat rate is calculated on your total revenue including VAT, so for £2000/week your gains would be £52/week (£2000 * 1.20 * 0.855)

has anybody been it using it for a node.js project? (i.e. serverside?)

I appreciate the effort, but I would never use something like this which is not open source.

There is a lot of misguided information floating around. I think this is the most objective article I've read so far. http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2013/06/istanbul-p...

For the curious, here is the tech stack: http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/govuk-launch-colophon/

I like it, simple and gets the job done and has keyboard shortcuts.

Seems to be developed in node.js and supports Redis, Memcahced or File based storage and uses phonetic key generation.

Impressive to see how little code there actually is in the actual application too.
