The biggest buyer of slaves going down would decimate the market, no? I would imagine it would have played exactly like abolition of slavery in Britain or US. There was still slavery across the world, but the number of people that suffered from it went down.

The number of people in slavery would have still decreased. The fact that it continued to exist is immaterial to the point being made.

There are quite a few videos of Tesla S's beating motorbikes. They are expensive but not million dolar expensive.

I would, if it were something between Snapchat and Dropbox. Anything a user posts gets deleted after a while and they would be able to archive posts for a fee.

I think node canvas is a wrapper over cairo. It lets you set a quality value too. Whether cairo is comparable to GM is something I don't know.

On top of the memory issue, jimp format support seems limited. No gif support for example.

My personal favourite is node-canvas. It simply brings the HTML5 canvas api to node.

The point of the question is to see if a candidate can glue a loop,an if statement and a bit of arithmetic together, on the spot. Failing to come up with an answer to such a question is generally symptomatic of lack of problem solving skills.

As the article states a few times, weight is the main issue.

Indeed. Just that somethings are easier to eat in access than others.

Knee jerk reaction? The main target of that page is the UK, where BBC do not display any ads.

That was deliberate. Drawing was/is considered practicing idolatry in muslim cultures. The way around it was/is to draw things in a way that they resembled the subject the least, but still recognizable.

I don't think lead time is relevant here. Built to spec lead times are generally much longer for upmarket ICE cars.

Or maybe the markets already priced that in...

They'll go as far as modular laptops.

It is more widely deployed and it throws more curve balls. Why are you surprised?

>You've probably already done some professional networking, written some technical articles for your company or customers, gotten a ton of recommendations on LinkedIn, contributed to visible projects on GitHub, and survived some production deployments/Go-Lives.

None of that really. At least the ones I know don't do any of that.

Here's what they do. They negotiate hard. Every job move, every annual review, they negotiate tooth and nail. Over time they become expensive. The more expensive they are, the more critical stuff gets assigned to them. The more critical stuff they handle and successfully deliver, the more chips they have on the next negotiation.

Well, that's agencies for you. Most of them are terrible places to work and it won't get any better.

Don't worry about recruitment fees. They don't get paid before you complete your probation period.

Yes, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals had similar experiences. As a matter of fact they have been experiencing this for decades in the region. Have the wrong passport and you are a slave.

Lack of infrastructure is not the crazy bit. Everyone knows that they have the money to throw at the problem.

The fact that all games of WC will be played in one city is the problem. All the fans in contact for a prolonged span...It won't end well.

As a developer I didn't spend a dime on dev tools in my 20 year career. The companies I worked for spent 10s of millions if not hundreds.

The general pattern is almost always a variant of a fremium model. Devs start using the free tier, someone in the hierarchy notices this and to cover companies legal risks, they buy a license. The more expensive the license, the more longer the buying process.

I found it ironic that the site itself doesn't follow the very good advice it's giving. A case of "Do as I say not as I do" I suppose.

There's a reverse correlation between quality of life and fertility rates in quite a lot of animals, including humans.

It comes across to me as her clumsy way of hitting on the OP. Ignoring might not be the correct course of action.

Still, your year 3 salary is a function of your starting salary.

Apples to oranges comparison, really. Give up the job security aspect of British jobs and you'll find out companies are more willing to pay numbers close to what's seen in the US.

Italian road signage has a reputation of being a tourist trap. They would have access restriction signs at the middle of a one way road, reserved lane signs hidden behind trees and all that sort of stuff.

You have no way of not paying it. They will charge Avis the fine. Avis will in turn charge it on your credit card with a processing fee. It's all in the fine print of your car rental agreement.

>My grandparents were all immigrants who didn't need to jump through hoops to come in. IMO, this should still be possible. I think we should have a open lottery that meets 95% of immigration demand, and have some sort of competitive/fast-track process for skilled workers that would weed out the bodyshops.

Doesn't US have a green card lottery?

The social housing policies in the UK deliberately tried to tackle social segregation. You would see council blocks 2 streets away in the poshest of the areas.

South Asian and Caribbean populations are overrepresented as users of social housing in London as the jobs they were brought in to do don't exist anymore.

I beg to differ. For a graduate position, any professional experience is a big plus. I am prepared to teach people programming. I dread to teach people professionalism.

I would be very surprised if it did. The problem has never been the number of people who can do the job, but who's willing to do the job.
