Yes, that's a good example

How about just using the builder pattern?
You can find senior positions up to 5000-6000EU. That's the good part. Unfortunately, I wouldn't call it a city with a good intellectual atmosphere. I suspect it's one of the worst places if ranked by this factor - it's full with sketchy people in sketchy "businesses", corruption and low level of education.

Disclosure: I'm Bulgarian who used to live in UK and France, and now considering emigrating again due to the reasons stated above.

This. Lack of fractional scaling is a big deal. I have 15" Full HD screen on my laptop, and everything is too small without fractional scaling (I prefer to have it set at 1.125/1.25).

In the past, in Bulgaria, gypsies used to illegally connect to the electricity network to avoid paying bills. Nowadays there's a shift in that trend - there are numerous cases of people running mining farms the same way.
Re:XPS 13 developer edition 7th generation available on Thursday January 04, 2018 @05:46PM (#16074823)
I regret buying the 9560. Changed the screen under warranty 4 times and it either had a pink tint (twice), uneven backlight or backlight bleed. In the end I was just tired and decided to keep it as it is. My girlfriend got a MBP recently. This is when I realized how spending $2100 on XPS was not very smart.

Just try playing any instrument - you'll soon realize that we're quite good at figuring out what sounds good and what not.

Or it was the schizophrenia that made him heavily addicted to weed?

I was smoker for 9 years - I thought I enjoyed smoking, I can't live without it, etc. A friend recommended a book - Alan Carr's Easy Way. Tried quitting before and it never worked. After reading the book it didn't feel hard, it just made sense. Recommended the book to 2 friends who also quit. Give it a try.

Palantir's blueprint is also a great UI kit for react. I'm surprised nobody brought it up.
Re:New APIs to power customer engagement in Direct Messages on Thursday April 06, 2017 @06:39PM (#14055354)
We're deprecating a legacy OpenID connect implementation and rebuilding the entire user onboarding experience. Part of this requires rebuilding the authentication layer. This is the first time I used their APIs. Instead of sticking with the heard, twitter decided to stick to their OAuth1 implementation instead of adopting the standard today - OpenID. What's worse is that they've come with the ingenious OAuth Echo, which requires you to ship your mobile applications credentials embedded in the code, virtually public to anyone who decides to poke around.
You don't even have to trust the software or the hardware. All that is important is votes to be cast as intended and the tally to be correct. End-to-end cryptographically verifiable voting systems achieve that by different means (zero knowledge proofs, etc.) An example is the Pret-a-Voter voting protocol. It uses re-encryption mix nets to provide verifiability (close how Tor works).
I personally don't think the events can be compared. Brexit has a lot of (unknown) implications for the UK, due to the fact that it's not clear what deal they'll get from the EU. On the other had Trump being elected president is just a change of the president of the US. There's no immediate threat.

Wrong example. I have worked on the Southwest Project when I was at Amadeus.

ELK with AWS hosted Elastic Search. Works like a charm with Kubernetes.
