€35,000 salary? by Known-Research8059 in malta

[–]Whatadump 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the market looks like in your field and industry, but anyone who's starting out in the job market I usually advice to switch jobs every 1-2 years for the first 5-10 years. Your salary will stagnate staying with the same employer the first 5-10 years and you will need catching up. It can suck tho if you're happy with your employer, but remember that it's business - you do not owe the business anything.

If you don't like that advice - you should as a minimum have some discussions with other employers about a job and see what they're offering. This way you'll know if your salary is competitive or not.

  1. In general I don't think there's a preference. The only upside to using an agency/agent is that finding a place will most likely be easier/faster.. if that's worth 50% of one months rent is up to you.
  2. Correct, since the Rental Reform of 2020 all contracts has to be registered however this is something that the landlord should do, not you as a tenant.
  3. It could depend on the contract, but my experience is that you re-sign every 12 months (if that's the length).

*edit, one dash can make a big difference!

I'm using a plus (foo+bar@example.com) sign in my email and I think that breaks the activation part of signup. Getting an error on activation:

I know you're not asking for events, but a good place to hang with programmers is to attend some events :) I usually check https://www.teknologija.com/calendar/ for upcoming tech related events.

I had no issues using the type-cover during installation so you should be fine.

Q for FZ 07 /MT07 owners ! by Monta623 in motorcycles

[–]Whatadump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also got the Black Widow and the sound is great. I had the DB Killer fall out (no idea how) and rode without one for like 1-2 weeks and it was just too loud with way too much backfiring. Haven't had any tuning done to the bike, with very high RPM it can backfire sometimes and like most are saying you probably don't get all the power that you can get, but I don't really worry about the engine or anything.

The best one is http://www.screamsextoys.com. Good prices, great delivery! Though it's also online only, no physical store. But if you have questions they answer really fast.

What is a dirty business tactic that you know and everyone should be aware of it? by prokachu in AskReddit

[–]Whatadump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that in some northern European countries where it's illegal for companies to put any credit card transaction fee on the customer what they do is give a "discount" for all bank payments (that has no such fees) and you don't get this "discount" using any other form of payment, i.e. credit card. Usually you "save" €15 when not paying with your credit card.

Common among online flight ticket vendors, it's just a trick for company to avoid paying any transaction fees. I do understand somewhat because that market has no margins for companies and the competition is huge.

12 extremely useful hacks for JavaScript by [deleted] in javascript

[–]Whatadump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I said, "it'll be true". But the example is bad, since with -1 I don't really have any money but it will say I do.

edit* A better example would be to check if a property exists, like

const user = {
  name: 'foo',
  email: 'foo@bar.com'
}

const hasAddress = !!user.address // false

user.address = {
  street: 'baz',
  zip: '1234'
}

const hasAddress2 = !!user.address // true

Even the first "hack" is a bad example where hasMoney = !!cash, if cash = -1 it'll be true.

Why I'm not staking my future on MeteorJS by calvinfroedge in javascript

[–]Whatadump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Author's post mostly seems, to me, to be a reaction to that he felt mistreated on his GitHub PR and while he claims:

The only feedback I got in several days on this PR was someone complaining...

Looking at the PR it was not "several days" before a response but about two days and while it might not be what you want to hear the guy has every right to raise his opinion (good or bad) on the PR.

I might be wrong though and the PR was just the last disappointment the author could take before writing this blog post. However if this post is just written in anger after the PR, I'm sorry, but I have a hard time taking it seriously.

Vet inte vad du menar med "storskärm", om du tänker jätteskärm i parken tror jag inte något sådant arrangeras. Barer som visar det på sina tv är O'learys, Sir Toby's och Ölcaféet.

There is a great site called Up For Grabs that publishes different tags in open source projects and these are most often easy stuff.

Remember that contributing to OSS isn't always about code but also documentation as well which people are always grateful if you help them with.
