I don't get what's supposed to happen. To me it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/CMwdLNg.png
one-man-bucket··on Introducing Boxen
At my company, small cms company bought a few years ago by older larger media company, recruiting in Stockholm, we're offering new employees a Mac or Linux laptop, but there is a lot of hinting that "you'd probably be best off picking a Mac", and a few new hires have opted for the latter because of reasons that to me sound like they think it's the "company DNA" or something.

I'm not religious about platform choice, but I'd hate to see a future where developers are pidgeonholed with regards to their tools

Edit: currently 13 of 15 of our devs use Mac

one-man-bucket··on Introducing Boxen
I'm not trying to flamebait, but are macs so popular that it's just assumed that all new hires want one as their tool? At my company we're still asking new employees which platform they want to work on, is this falling out of fashion?
one-man-bucket··on How to quit your job: An Employers opinion
When I quit my first job, my former employer made a point of conducting all exit interviews with someone who was in no way an authority figure for the person quitting (I did mine with the receptionist).

I was of course very polite, I didn't want to burn any bridges and could still consider going back there some day, but I also was honest when telling them that main reason (that was in their control) for me quitting was that there was no development process (i.e. scrum) and the first thing on their to-do list should be to hire a good head of development.

They did this a year after I left and from what I've heard they have kept the rest of my team and even attracted some new talent. Maybe there are cultural factors at play as well (I'm in Stockholm).

They invited me back later for beers and starcraft 2, so I guess they don't hate me too much :)

one-man-bucket··on Ubuntu Looks To An SDK, Improved App Development
I couldn't stand Unity either, and for me it was more an issue of coming from an earlier version of Ubuntu (gnome).

The €210 price tag is a bit too steep for me. I would have bought one for €60.

One of the main reasons I hang out on programming help channels on IRC is to hone my skills in reading other peoples' messy code when helping them solve a problem. Plus, there's the bonus good feeling from helping people :)

Planet Money did an episode on why TOS and EULA's aren't human (as opposed to lawyer) readable.

Not bad! On a similar note Etablissemanget adopted "treating objects like women" as their slogan.

Team Fizz Buzz is not an unreasonable team name! Or is the norm out there for teams to name themselves to whatever they are working on?

Our current teams are named: "Team America 2", "Kill Kenny" and "Etablissemanget" ("The Establishment" in swedish)

Sorry for being off topic, but I thought the correct word would be "applies" in this sentence. Could anyone educate me, please?

one-man-bucket··on Unity is the end of Ubuntu
You're probably right that it improved, but it's still not nearly polished and robust enough (compared to gnome2).

You get the exact same window placement stuff by activating the Put compiz plugin (which is more customizable than unity).

Yes, gnome-do worked in unity in 11.10 once you disable the launcher bar shortcut.

I guess my point is that unity made everything much more sluggish and introduced crashes/buggy behaviour without really adding anything for a power user who doesn't use the mouse.

one-man-bucket··on Unity is the end of Ubuntu
I had the same thing happen to me a couple of days ago when I did the upgrade.

My old gnome2 desktop was set up so that I almost never had to use the mouse. I used gnome-do for application launching (excellent software!) and various compiz plugins for window placement with the keyboard (dual monitor setup).

I gave unity a try when I upgraded to 11.04, but it felt so "unfinished" back then that I figured it would take at least a year for me to give it any serious consideration. And it lacked all the configuration required to get to a mouseless setup. And it still does.

Oh, and it made X really sluggish and I've had at least one compiz crash every day since I upgraded (the ui crashes and reloads, putting all windows in the top left workspace).

one-man-bucket··on (Ubuntu) 11.04, a leap forward
If you can run gnome apps, you should definitely try gnome-do. It's like the launcher, but more polished.

Gnome-DO is the main reason I'm staying with "ubuntu classic".

one-man-bucket··on Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (May 2011)
Atex, Stockholm, Sweden.

We're hiring people to R&D and professional services to our development office in Stockholm. You'd be working on our web CMS system that's used by a bunch of huge newspapers all around the world. Main programming language is Java, but there is a lot of javascript in the mix as well. Objective-C would also be a plus.

Need to speak swedish for the Stockholm positions. I think they are hiring in other parts of the world as well.
