The author says, that you cannot purchase a Spotify subscription in Ukraine, where he is based.

It is worth noting, that coeliac disease is a real thing, where gluten-free diet must be strictly adhered to. These kinds of dismissive articles, which treat gluten-free diets fads are extremely dangerous for those suffering the illness, since it makes the general public not to take it seriously.

The planting part could easily be solved by law. At least in Finland after cutting a part of forest, you'll need to re-plant it and create a maintenance plan for the forest to regrow.

The maintenance plan helps to protect the new growth to be eaten e.g. by moose and elk.

At least in Finland (don't know about the rest of Europe) the information must be collected from the applicant and not by doing internet searches [0]. If a company wants to use any other sources, they must ask the applicants permission first.

You could try to ease into the new time by waking 5 mins earlier/later per previous morning, two weeks before the switch.

(or have no need for it)

Ask the city council to install some speed bumps. That's what they do here in Finland.

IIRC Finland has never had university tuition fees and it is the 3rd most equal country in the world. http://www.goodcountry.org/country/FIN

Finnish students get allowance from the government for the duration of their studies (max ~60 months) and get government backed cheap loans which they start paying back after their studies.

My own experience is that there are people from very varying backgrounds in the Finnish universities.

The article correctly advices against commenting the obvious. I think it is often practice by novice programmers to assure themselves about what the language expression actually does.

What the article omits is the suggestion of commenting the right way, i.e. adding reasoning or the description of the high level logic behind the code.

It is probably because live preview is considerably easier to implement than a good code editor like "Markdown completion".

A professional developer should be able to take command of a new language in a month. Usually learning the libraries takes longer.

Another and not so pretty viewpoint to why AirBnB and Lyft are becoming more popular: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/04/sharing-economy...

Interesting team composition; 4 managers, 1 designer and 3 engineers. Is this normal?

Rap Genius is still #1 at Bing. I wonder if people these days think something doesn't exist if its not on Google.

The segment was an advert for a book and Samsung Galaxy Gear.

If it had Android, I wouldn't consider buying it.

You might want to take a look how Windows Phone 8 does it. WP8 has different size tiles and moving them around is a piece of cake.

Seconded. For example Stanisław Lems The Futurological Congress was written in 1970s and is quite refreshing read.

FWIW, I head Steve talking for the first time in DjangoCon.eu and it was total waste of time, a short piece in how we all should love one another. Zed had actually content and delivered it interestingly.

Not knowing Japanese it's hard to evaluate the site for its entirety.

Often though, technically minded people tend to overlook the work required to organize and produce quality content on the web.

They might have content roadmaps made, pre-planned topics to write about during the year. They might have created a communication strategy, including stuff like how to react on current events in Japan and "the tone of voice" when writing to the public.

They might have trained the a number of staff to use the authoring tools and so on.

Doing the CMS integration is usually the easy part of the project.
