Have you looked into ITerms' performance in comparison to Terminal?

I have a markdown file in a private git repo for each month, I append a new header with the date at the start of each day and use it as a notepad, dumping whatever comes to mind. Most importantly I don't go back and revise what I've written.
or read the 'ol refactoring book...
It came to a similar conclusion as the dutch report, the main issue with the dutch report is it's too little to late and the government had repeatedly delayed publishing it while they searched for a way to indirectly accuse Russia. The dutch report is quite weak in that it won't take the next logical step given the evidence available and accuse Russia of ordering the downing of MH17.
We're small startup building a whiteboxed dispatch system to sell initially to taxi firms, we are a distributed company and work 100% remotely, 95% of costs are wages, we have no VC funding and pay our own way via revenue. We offer a paid trial month. As for the product we've found "market-fit" and we're now iterating towards a robust scalable finish.
As a developer at spiffy you only work 20 hours a week, all we require is that you're around in the afternoon, there's no hierarchy & no management, we work in small vertical teams and you're expected to decide, design, implement, maintain & support. The wage (for everyone) is €3000 per month + VAT for now but you're employed as a consultant (less tax) and can take on other projects at the same time, not enough to live in London or Zurich but enough to live somewhere with a nice beach or even in Berlin (like me).
As for tooling, we use github, jenkins & slack and we're always constantly improving. There are no skype calls, no meetings of any kind, no standups, no performance reviews, just open and honest communication.
We are only looking for senior developers (3+ years) at this moment who can be around in the afternoons Central European Time
I personally would like to work with someone who employs TDD pragmatically and writes clean maintainable code. Who is widely read, possessing a depth of experience and able to bring ideas to the table. Experience building, operating & testing distributed systems would be a massive plus.
At the moment we've developed a microservice architecture on app engine and we'll be moving to containers in the near future. We don't expect you to have three years of Go experience but you need have something in Go/Golang to show us.
Just write a short cover letter detailing your past projects and what you'll bring but don't forget to indicate that you've read into what the company is about. Multi stage interviews are too resource consuming so if we like your application and you come across well in the interview then we'll invite you for a paid trial month.

I was in Krakow for unsound festival and i needed a place to stay super late minute, all that was left was this one plausible place south of the river, looked nice, okay reviews but in hindsight there were some mentions about about privacy etc. when i turned up late at night the room was not a private room but a couch in the kitchen and the actual tenant of this one bed flat was completely not cool with his landlord renting out the couch like this. so after one awkward night in krakow i rang up AirBnB, they refunded me the whole amount and gave me €50 credit.
My scenario was common i expect so it was very one-to-one with the rep, you must have gone from pillar to post.
Airbnb use Adyen for their payment processing which is a pile of shit when it comes to dev support imho.
There has to be some magic filter introduced (other than good judgment) to clean out the desperate or greedy hosts monetising their sub standard assets & another to filter the rude or plain vandal guests.
On the plus side, if you complain to AirBnB you're treated like a prince!
I think eventually it'll be complete, with only the occasional maintenance patch.
When clubbing the low sugar content 20Cal/100ml means it doesn't give you cotton mouth when you're on speed or MDMA.
It's so engrained into berlin clubbing culture you perform this ritual when you order a "vodka mate" or a "whisky mate" from a bar: they hand you the 500ml bottle (the 330ml is lame) then you take a big swig and hand it back, the bartender then free pours the spirit in topping it up, charging you depending how much you swigged and if you've tipped before.
Fun fact! club mate is made in south germany so it's technically schwabisch and Schwabians are eternally made scapegoats for berlins gentrification... and so makes it all the more ironic when it's exclaimed "it's so berlin!"
