I have an IRC channel that myself and a few friends use every day. It’s probably 30% technical and 70% chat. I do wish more people still used it, but I guess most people like chat platforms with fancy features now.
Stores in the US do that here now. It's also incredibly annoying when it tells you to insert the chip and then decide "oh THAT's how you want to pay? Swipe it instead" after telling you to insert it.
Not to mention that some of the higher-volume corner stores in my area still use the magnetic stripe reader. So the interaction usually has me inserting my card, the cashier noticing, telling me to swipe instead, and going from there.
So unless I'm going to a big retailer (rare) or the stores directly around work/home, the interaction is usually complicated and annoying for human factors layered on top of the complicated, annoying, and insecure chip+sig protocol the banks settled on because chip+pin was too annoying.
Same here. It was weird at first, but now I almost always use ~70-80% screen brightness now. Going full brightness starts to hurt if you're in a dark room too.
In regards to the battery life, I was excited to see "9 hours remaining" the first time I turned the new MBP on. Realistically, I get about 3-5 depending on what I'm doing.

We're looking for engineers that love what they do and aren't afraid to tackle difficult problems. We use a variety of modern programming languages and tools. Right now we're mainly using PHP and Ruby.
In the past, I've posted on here and forwarded a lot of the emails I've received to other people at the company (assuming that they'd reply back), and only replied to a handful. I apologize to anyone who has not received an email back in the past; I'll be responding to every email I receive.
Any level of software engineers may apply! I've received messages in the past because our job board mentions senior engineers (it should be updated). We offer a competitive salary, benefits, and other perks.

Scotland (if I have to pick a city, Edinburgh). I don't really know what the job market is there for software development though. NY is great because of the huge market, but after traveling all over the UK (and Scotland twice), both my wife and I would love to live there. There's not nearly as many people as there are here in the US (which is a plus), and it's beautiful everywhere.

There is a lot more work in Glasgow it seems. We are considering moving and I get the odd email from some Scottish recruiters I spoke too. Thus far I think virtually 100% of the jobs they have sent my way have been based in Glasgow.
Edinburgh has lots of interesting technology companies: Rockstar, SkyScanner, Amazon, Codeplay etc. The University of Edinburgh has an excellent CS department and hosts the UK's national HPC facility, ARCHER.
It's one of the few cities in the UK that I would be tempted to move to from Bristol.
Good question. Cambridge and Oxford have interesting technology but very high cost of living. Bath is close to Bristol and part of the same city region. I'd prefer to avoid London due to air quality, cost and commute. I would consider other cities (e.g. Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle) if I find interesting work.
I moved to Edinburgh from Stockholm about a year and a half ago. Can confirm it's a great place to live and Skyscanner(where I work) is a great place to work. Tech scene is noticeably smaller than Stockholm, that's the main downside for me.

Hi Luke, you've been posting this message on whoishiring for the past months and I wrote two times to say "Hello" but you never replied.
I am not one of sending resumes to multiple people at the same time and see what transpires. I take my time, do some research about the company and, if I see there could be a fit then I get in touch. I did that with your company but all I heard from you was static.
Please, be kind and reply to the people that take the time to write a personalized message, maybe it was just me, but nothing in my resume is made up. I was clearly a theoretical fit just based on the requirements for your position.
Someday you'll be the one looking for an opportunity and it would be nice seeing that people take the time to respond, especially when they explicitly ask people to e-mail them to say "Hello".
Thanks, and good look finding the right candidate.
