I'm european too and while I don't consider the US in the same league as China or Russia I had the same feeling the last time I traveled to US.

I just bought a 2560x1080px monitor just to discover that there is no way to use it with my laptop. It seems that most laptops are limited to 1920x1080 despite that the graphics card may support higher resolutions.

Booking.com. The UI is very good and you can compare prices very easily. If I want to learn more about the hotel I check it in TripAdvisor.

Lexical Scanning in Go - Rob Pike. I really loved it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxaD_trXwRE

I run a Toshiba Portege Z930 with Linux Mint 14. The graphics card is not very powerfull (Intel HD Graphics 4000) but everything just works out of the box, including suspending and hibernation.

Can you please elaborate on "reason about parts of a program in terms of what they mean rather than what they do"?

Apache + mod_mono works pretty well for us. It is fast and stable. nginx + fastCgi not so well.

Try Golangide. It has debugging support although It is a front end for gdb . I works also in Windows.

I also suggest you to try gdb from the command line.

"Because the protocol uses random strings, the probability of hitting this bug is about 1/256."

Why 1/256?

What is the best way to enable replication without access to the database? ssh tunnel?

Ante one knows how they got access to the database?

"we had a bug in our bug system that toggled the private flag of a bug report to public on a comment to the bug report causing this issue to go public before we had time to test solutions to the level we would like" Thats having a really bad day!

I live in Spain and I think in Portugal is the same as here. Drug use is not a crime but it is still an "Administrative Offense". If the police caught's you with a small amount of drugs, they will confiscate them and usually impose a fine, about 300€.

That's not my experience. I bought a 128GB Patriot Torx some time ago and one day it stopped working completely. I lost all my data. They gave me a new one and 7 months later I started having data corruption problems. Now I can't even format it from Windows.

Maybe it was bad luck twice but I'm sticking with hard drives for now.

The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you can get a round one.

Madrid, Spain

C# developer.

We help sport clubs with our web based product. You would help us improve it and build features.

The position is for our office in Alcobendas but you could do some remote if you want.

Right now we are using Git, VS, Windows to develop and apache and linux on the server.

I am looking for a freelance remote developer for a web application. The technologies we use are c# (mono), mvc, mysql, Git, CentOs, apache & mod_mono and haproxy basically.

Also looking for an excellent designer to do a redesign of the site.

We are located in Madrid, Spain.

As a native Spanish speaker I never thought that I was expressing something different when talking in English.

You would say "se me han perdido las llaves". The "me" implies that I am the one who lost them.

Probably the thoughts are universal and we just express them in different ways.

In Spain also.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

Godel, Escher & Bach (round 2!)

I switched from .Net to Mono/linux for a web application and almost everything worked right away. Most of the differences I found where because of Linux: case sensitive file names and file encodings with non ascii characters.

I use a Patriot Torx 128GB in my dev machine. It died completely after two weeks. The seller told me that they are very reliable and that it was just bad luck and replaced it with a new one.

It is so fast and silent that I decided to give it another try and I have been using it for three months now.

I didn't try to recover the data but I think that in case of failure or damage it is more difficult to recover the info than from traditional disks.

I agree, the page is atrocious!

To prevent this there are surveillance cameras that insert the cash receipt data onto the video. They also save key frames with every transaction so you can later jump directly to them.

I switched to Mono & MySql & Linux a year ago for my startup and in my experience performance is the same or even faster than .Net & SQL Server & Windows.

A couple of complex queries not optimized at all where slow in MySql and very fast in SQL Server but I think that that is because of the database engine itself and not because of the driver.

Haven't ever happen to you that you have the concept in your mind but you are not able to remember or even know the word for it? And nevertheless you are able to think about it!
