I visited Oslo last week, and I have to say that its one of the best cities I have ever been to, people are very welcoming, streets are clean, everything is almost perfect.
Have you been to any other European cities at all for comparison? For example I think Barcelona is a very clean and welcoming city, so is Amsterdam come to think of it.
In my experience, Nordic people are extremely polite, but not really welcoming. They do not actually care about you as a human being, they just care about a nice, polite interchange. Going from that politeness to something more is hard. YMMV.
I can't speak much. My Australian startup had this kind of sweeping confidential agreement (for example customers aren't allowed to talk about the performance of the products, and I can't tell for employees). Not very clever on their part in any case, but I prefer not to develop, sorry.
I realized that it was going to take me 5+ years to get to the point with consulting where I had any control over my own destiny. Jumping to a startup let me accelerate that timetable and build far more experience far faster than would be possible within the Capgemini behemoth.
I am still traveling (usually switch country every 1-3 months) and freelancing/RemoteWork earning 3 times what I made before and enjoying being my own boss :) And no, I am not a coder/programmer, but IT field, which makes this remote work thing obviously much more easy.
What does 'IT' in this case mean? Remote configuring servers and administering user accounts? I have very little experience of Big Orgs so I have no idea if that's the scope or something more.
What were you doing to them? I treat my Kindle terribly and the only damage its ever had is a small part of the screen which no longer works because my keys pushed into it.
I've got a Paperwhite, so maybe that's what did it. I don't really see the point in the higher end models myself, I wouldn't even have bought the Paperwhite if it weren't for the screen backlight.
I abuse the hell out of my Paperwhite, and it only suffered any ill effects when it got dropped into a campfire on a recent trip. I literally cannot imagine what you could be doing to reliably destroy Kindles during normal travel.
This person wrote a tweet and the tweet has code[1]. This snippet in JavaScript allows you to import that code into your code as a module. I think this is trolling on state of the Node community because over the previous few days, people have found some pretty interesting dependency architecture[2].
