In case you don't know:

"Tower Hamlets residents visit for just £1

Local residents within the borough of Tower Hamlets can visit the Tower of London for only £1.00."

It's worth a visit being a tourist or a local.

"The United Nations Population Division defines sub-replacement fertility as any rate below approximately 2.1 children born per woman of childbearing age, but the threshold can be as high as 3.4 in some developing countries because of higher mortality rates. Taken globally, the total fertility rate at replacement was 2.33 children per woman in 2003"

How do you get the audio from Youtube?

HN crowd might diss this product but if you consider all those execs and managers in medium/large corporations that rely on personal assistants to get their email and meetings sorted out this might be very successful.

Seems to be the perfect use case for them "It also syncs with your calendar and displays your upcoming meetings in a menu. (You can tap one to jump in.)"

If the code has tests, I would start by looking at those tests.

If it has no tests, then I would slowly try to build tests to document the functionality that I need. In your case being Angular that might be having simple html pages with the smallest module that you need.

How to find things? If you're on Windows try AstroGrep http://astrogrep.sourceforge.net/ to quickly search and jump around in the code or in any system I use VS Code for a similar functionality. Also learn to use command line find/grep.

The book "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" also helped me be more comfortable navigating and changing large code bases, in a long term view I recommend this book to every developer https://www.amazon.co.uk/Working-Effectively-Legacy-Michael-...

Lastly, I would raise this because the company might not be aware they are buying a low quality framework that maybe ticks all the boxes in the contract but is in effect impossible to use by their current developers (you), it might be there's other people with more experience in said niche that might be able to help. In the private community maybe some people would be able to accept a short contract to help train you.

The abstraction is there because in many static languages you will immediately have two implementations, the infrastructure one (database, API call, 3rd party) and the tests.

Jetbrains was using a package provided by Microsoft and blogged that they would soon have to disable debugging of CoreCLR

Read “The Bad News” https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/02/15/rider-eap-17-nu...

Also the licensing issue https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/505

Then a week later with the licensing issue still in place Jetbrains implemented their own debugger, on the comments it reads "This is our own debugger implementation." https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/02/23/rider-eap-18-co...

It means nothing. Had a permanent position in a big Portuguese company and everyone in the whole team was working 12 hours plus per day.

Is uncommon to have people in Portugal working less than 40 hours. Tried to find a study to put some numbers in context of the reality I know. In the link Under "Duration of work" you can see that 78.6% of people work either 40 hours or more. http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/observatories/eurwork/compara...

Lisbon is definitely a nice place to live, but not so much to work. Otherwise why the significant emigration rate of tech workers/skilled workers? Pay is low and the hours are long. VC money in Portugal is very limited and bureaucracy is still more than what you would expect comparing to the UK.

Most entrepreneurship programs are state sponsored and usually there is some big international company involved, from incubation these companies become state dependent.

there is a 250-400 km range for FlightRadar, it does not cover oceans very well.

http://www.flightradar24.com/how-it-works "Flightradar24 has a network of more than 3,000 ADS-B receivers around the world that receives plane and flight information from aircraft with ADS-B transponders and sends this information to our servers. Due to the high frequency used (1090 MHz) the coverage from each receiver is limited to about 250-400 km (150-250 miles) in all directions depending on location. The farther away from the receiver an aircraft is flying, the higher it must fly to be covered by the receiver. The distance limit makes it very hard to get ADS-B coverage over oceans."

I have been using Catch on Android for years now, I am going to try Google Keep but what other similar alternatives are there?

That is my point exactly to them, but it seems tougher to leave family and friends when you live comfortably and still save some cash.

Here is a sample of excuses my Portuguese friends (SW Engineer related) gave me to not even consider job opportunities in London:

- can't leave my family now, I have a girlfriend and don't want to leave her

- my English is not good enough

- I don't like the weather there (sounds stupid, but I hear this one a lot)

Also right now in Portugal there is bullshit talk from employers that younger people should stay and help revamp the economy (by working extra hours for free) and the situation is so bad that in some areas like Design/Architecture people do internships for free and the interns keep being replaced with new ones after 3 months or so.

I believe the reason why Portuguese developers are not flooding UK (I don't completely agree, I see them coming more and more but slowly) is that any reasonably good developer in Portugal still can find work in consulting and state related IT firms. They work long hours and earn low, but enough to live comfortably there.

This format reminds me of the screencasts in youtube with no sound or some hard electro where people don't explain what it's going on in their heads. I find it frustrating and missing the point of actually communicating something. You are just assuming people will get your "gesture" intentions.
