I'm now a developer, where to go from here if I want more money?

I'm 25. I graduated with a master's degree in CS a year ago. I started working as a developer in a big company in Europe, making a decent salary (40K euros) which allows me to live comfortably but makes it hard to spare and invest. My goal is to reach 60K euros in the next couple of years.I love being a developer, but I feel like it won't get me near my goal fast enough, so I'm looking at the...

when I click the [Rails] tag, oh-my-zsh appears as first in the list. I realize it has a rails plugin but I'm not sure it's one of the most relevant rails projects.

I think there should be some kind of "sort by relevance" feature.

I use google docs. I have a bunch of google documents i regularly use for work

- one where I keep track of my work: it's half a todo list with bullet points, half notes about my progress for meetings - one where i write ideas, things I want to dig into later

I write in them from bottom to top (so that my last entry is always on top). I basically use them as paper notebooks.

Actually if it wasn't for URL copy pasting, I think i'd use paper and pen.

it's a desktop environment, it can be part of any distro you want, especially when an upgrade hits the decimals

not only it's unlikely, it's true. I've changed distro many times over the years and always noticed the poor power management
Re:Deal forcing Microsoft to offer browser choices ends on Thursday December 18, 2014 @10:01AM (#8767461)
I remember seeing this on TV and not understanding why microsoft was threatened with a fine if they ship IE by default on their products.

Actually I still don't. Nobody ever stopped me from downloading another browser on windows, anyone who wants to do it will do it. So people did have a choice, they just didn't know they had it, and it's their problem, not microsoft's!

Could someone explain this to me?

> whitespace wastage

there is no such thing. Think more whitespace equals more focus around the content and less clutter.

I've always been overweight, and struggled with it. I was unhealthy physically and I think it made me unhealthy mentally in some ways as well. I've always been the geek kind of guy, wasn't much into sports and had no idea how to take care of my own body. And this book made it all clear to me.

uglier? to me bootstrap's visual patterns are overused and frankly unoriginal.

The 4-hour-body changed my life. It changed how I look, how I eat, my health, my self esteem/confidence, my mood. I am a completely different person now.
