Also, it's not like I would be the one doing all the hard work, that would be up to my wife.
The company that I did go with had some great childcare attached with the position; Anyhow, upon declining i mentioned that we were planning on having a kid in the future and this childcare was a nice bonus.
The response from the company that I declined? 'If we had known you were going to have a child then we would not have made an offer'.
Bullet dodged.
Each time I had it replaced apparently it extended the warranty for 1 more year.
The laptop scorched a mark in my table.
The charger exploded and scorched my carpet. They wouldn't exchange it until I told them I would send my bill for the carpet as well....
I didn't buy a Dell again for 8 years...wonder what is going to happen with this one.
I'd much prefer if local people become the experts through knowledge sharing / gathering than bringing in expensive consultants to train them and tell them how to do it. The most vulnerable places often slip through the cracks.
Smart phones are dominating these communities, not the latest and greatest but they are definitely starting to come online. By the way, there are plenty of videos to understand the different solutions on offer for clean drinking water. Email and VOIP allows community leaders get expert advice without leaving their shelters.
By empowering the community to chose and implement a solution most appropriate for them they will be able to achieve much more in the future. Teach a man or woman to fish and all that jazz...
Is that functionality available within Bitbucket + an external CI somehow?
Our workflow involves branching off of master at all time. Staging server can be wiped at any time, we have multiple staging servers. Production code can only rebase with master (or release branch); depending on the client we also have a release server as well which rebases with master and then into production.
Works well so far with team up to 5 developers....haven't tested it out further but wouldn't anticipate too many issues.
Recommendations welcome, looking for something with similar specs to current maxed out mac airs 11".
Recommendations welcome!

Allowed you to pull in each article on the various news sites and stick them into git where you could then see the difference in the articles over time.
A Phd student founds some interesting insights particularly in the Irish media where content would often be changed sometimes weeks / months / years after the original story was placed online.

Often though; I found it showed how little time a journalist often had time to work on revisions to any one story....the world should lament the death of journalism.
Incredibly poor response from Dropbox on this issue.
Unemployment is still high in certain areas. The bank bailout crippled the country, forced really high taxes on those who really shouldn't have been held accountable (low income earners).
That said, Apple (and many other mult-nationals) seized an opportunity and ran with it. The moral responsibility to pay taxes should be on the CEO and the board.
I wonder how much Irelands payroll taxes would have been were the corporations not to have set up shop in Ireland, they would have just gone somewhere with a decent tax arrangement.
Unemployment in the 70's and 80's was brutal in Ireland, personally, I think the government at the time made the right choice, however, this "selective treatment" allowed Apple to pay tax rate of 1% on European Union profits in 2003 down to 0.005% in 2014, FFS.
They did not have a software culture at the time, everything was outsourced. Project managers did not have any clue of how to manage a software project professionally, they struck me as more financial / admin types. India and China were like wolves and GE threw projects to them expecting the lowest cost to emerge as the winner.
Office was always dead on Friday, there was a culture to often work from home but not actually work.
From my understanding at the time they used to cut 10% of the worst performing staff every year, I believe they were one of the worlds largest employers at the time. My biggest peeve was their culture of having meetings just to have meetings....I think this issue can be found in most large enterprises.
My cousin now works for GE in Australia and says 'they are trying to become a startup'. I'm not convinced, it's pretty cool to be called a startup but true startups will only thrive in GE if they are left alone by management and allowed to utilise large resources. It can work, small teams can make great inroads for these types of organisations.
Oh wait...you don't send SMS to my country even though I am Irish but without access to an Irish mobile number (Nepal).
Goodbye hello...
Surely there should not be too much computational overhead involved here or am I missing something?
Fire that person immediately, it's a clear breach. You need to show your employees that you will support them when something like this happens.
This may not be the first time this has happened, might only be the first time that you have heard about it. You need to be proactive in creating a safe work environment and as the founder that is your responsibility.
If there is something that can speed up my workflow, I learn it. If it improves my applications speed without much time to implement / learn then I work on that.
For new shiny Javascript libraries I really have held back to see what the winner will be; backbone used to be the go-to lib, ember (tried to learn but it changed a lot in the early days), angular (decided not to invest any time into it).
There are 24 hours in a day, don't try and learn everything, just try and be productive with the tools you have and the ones that will get the job done for you.
My time these days are spent learning Nepalese, React and trying to build a business in Nepal....keeps me busy.
2 consultations + Chest x-ray + medicine in 30 minutes for less than $15 USD.

Active Memory (From ABC), was working really closely with a team of neuroscientists out of Australia. Lots of their data goes directly into research programs. Here's the blurb from their site:
"Active Memory has been developed in partnership with the University of Melbourne and the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. The program is built on a breakthrough statistical model that examines your game results and serves up a customised training schedule that challenges your brain at just the right level of difficulty. Most importantly, the program aims to measure the changes that are happening to your cognition, based on your training. Critically, your participation in Active Memory will contribute to one of the largest studies of its kind into brain training and its potential health benefits."
Was a really great team to work with. Had a very different angle from Luminosity and was held to very strict advertising controls through being a part of ABCs commercial arm.
