Your reply is something a lot of people will only realise its wisdom in hindsight. Like how Job Titles actually matter, most don't realise companies will use any excuse to justify why you don't deserve your asking rate. Never give them the opportunity.

any chance we could look at your thesis when it is done? :)

You can't dispose these without due process. Not sure whre you're getting you're ideas from.

Good riddance.

I don't think H1Bs will unionize, there's too much too lose if they get fired.

Reading Jeff's email plus her comments on twitter doesn't give the full story.

It seems like

1. She did not give them the time required to vet through the paper or followed the processes, plus her email to everyone to stop work on other projects. 2. Google fired her immediately, which might have been different if she wasn't a POC.

Depends on what demographic your friends are. If they are predominantly English speaking from young, there's a higher chance they grew up on a lot of US TV.

I'm not American, but grew up watching Sienfield / Frasier / Friends. Well, there are definitely times when I did not "get it", but repeated exposure to US culture via TV makes you sort of understand whenever certain issues come up i.e. correlating the various facts that crop up over different programs :)

edit : Sienfield is also one of my all time favourite shows

Here is the actual study it is referring to: [Doing despite disliking - http://images.transcontinentalmedia.com/LAF/lacom/disliking....

You can buy them from sites like banggood.com / gearbest.com.

They are pretty reliable. But in my honest opinion, That kind of money should just be spent in the Dell Outlet. Get something like the Latitude 7270 / 7470 or the Latitude 7275 (Sort of a surface clone). At least warranties would be easier and you have Dell's support.

techtablets.com is great. In fact, I got my tablet based on his reviews. There is a hidden subtext behind his reviews though. He already knows what he should expect for the price he is paying. Thus, his reviews are based on what all tablets in that price point offers.

I went in thinking that the specs on paper would turn out to be great value for money. That was my biggest mistake.

It will play fine. In my case, this is what I realised.

* I bought it thinking that this would be a cheap Win10 based Netflix / Comic Reader. Windows 10 is not really a touch friendly OS. You will end up booting into Android and installing apps. Even then, there are frequent crashes / Some apps won't work because the Tablet does not meet DRM requirements.

* Netflix on Android only runs in HD with certified devices. Else you're going to be getting streams in 480p max.

* I apologise for the Caps. I got burnt by 2 of these tablets. (My fault, because I was expecting an iPad like experience without paying the price). I'm hoping that I can give you what to expect if you decide to buy one.

I have a Chuwi. Honestly, from the get go, you will know that its not a development machine.

As for testing apps, If you wish to simulate the user experience on a cheap Atom, this would be the thing for your. Else, you're bound to be frustrated.

Don't even bother with those Chinese tablets. They are passable for media consumption, but absymal for anything else.

Buy something like a refurbished Dell Latitude series instead. Keyword here is you said "long trip'. When you buy something that made a lot of tradeoffs to achieve that price point, you are going to be frustrated.

I am torn between getting that, or waiting for the next generation motherboards (apollo lake).

2 vendors have already made preliminary announcements:

I think this is RH finally realizing why Ubuntu Server has surpassed them in the cloud. It's because develop & test on the same OS. Its also the reason why CentOS was popular in the first place.

This coupled with faster but unsupported software version updates should put but back on track to compete in the cloud.

Anyone checked out pydio? it was formerly called ajaxexplorer. http://pyd.io/

At least this is a proper money generating business, unlike the useful Whatsapp. I definitely use it a lot, but being acquired for 16B is stretching it...

Man, that is exactly the first thing I did as well. Lets hope they release a 'mono' version soon

Same here. Was amazed by the initial marketing gloss, but let down by the 1366x768 display :(

This problem really echoed with me. The one thing I hate about Python is the pain of compiling it from source.

Unlike startups, we enterprise dudes don't have the liberty of choosing the latest distros with better base Python versions.in some cases,the machines don't even have a compiler installed.

Try running your funky new admin script on these rhel5 boxen is a pain.

I've resorted to compiling with LD_RUN_PATH, -rpath & -r set.

I think this should be included in the python-guide for the sanity of other devops dudes

I have to agree. I had to jump through hoops, and registration was a PITA.

If not for the 'feeding frenzy' I was in, I would have not bought the ebook at that moment.

Edit: The book was worth it, jsut the process of buying it

Thanks for this book. Just purchased it. It gonna be useful for my future web apps.

Cheers for the coupon dude. Just got the ebook :)
