I've been an iOS dev for 5 years but I was feeling like I'm getting too tied down in one language/ecosystem so I thought about expanding. Then a C++ job offer came tumbling my way and now I'm thinking of whether to take it or not.

While this job comes with a ~30% pay bump, I went looking around and noticed that C++ jobs typically pay ~70% of what Android/iOS/Node/Django/React job listing say (in the same regions). Go look it up on AngelList, SO Jobs, LinkedIn, pretty much everywhere.

I only know kiddie C++ from college, I always imagined "real" C++ (C++ 11/14), given that it's so much more difficult (not difficult per se, just in comparison with) python/Java/Javascript, that it should pay

All I have of an old friend is this address. His family moved out of Mumbai like 15 years ago, we used to be best friends. He gave me this on a dusty scrap of paper, telling me to look him up when we've grown up. I only knew his nickname, so no luck on facebook.

I just moved to bangalore and I would love to see if he's still there, I did yesterday but I just cannot understand this address, nor do I seem to be able to find it by walking around JP Nagar. Yes, I've fuzzed up the numbers a bit.

No. 41/3, J.P Nagar Phase 1, Bangalore - 560078

Is it 3rd cross road or 41st cross road? There are both. And I didn't see any houses numbered 41 or 3 in either 41st or 3rd cross road (I think). Anybod

I pretty much still do everything exactly as I did in Java, only the syntax is a little different.

I would love to know what "recipes" you guys have come up with for specific actions or functions.

• Like I can do just fab.setOnClickListener { something() } which is awesome.
• I always hated switch cases. Like, who would not want to break after every case? How the hell was this made the default decades ago? Kotlin's when is amazing.
• I'm replacing more and more "public static"/companion object stuff which doesn't really have a place in Kotlin world as it did in Java. It's making my code a bit more functional but also a little unfamiliar, given I am stepping out of Java land aft

I'm from Delhi. In winter, the air pollution here is frequently 30-40 worse than what is considered safe by WHO standards. On a good day, it's about 10 times worse. Schools are shut down, doctors recommend staying indoors and ceasing all physical exertion.

So I've decided, with a heavy heart, that Lungs > Biceps. So, I can't work out for the next ~3-4 months.

And it's all the more painful because after ~2 years of on-again-off-again workouts, I was finally starting to see some progress. My question is, will all of my hard work be undone? In all the threads I've seen about similar topics, I can't quite pin down exactly what causes muscles to atr

Most of the discussions in this sub seem just distant to me. Earning western minimum wage in India would put you in the top 1% here, by a very wide margin. There aren't any great colleges here, a handful of good local startups and a few branches of foreign companies that are almost impossible to get into. So, I'm guessing we could all benefit from hearing each others trials and tribulations.

I'd love to hear some experiences, general advice etc. What are you all doing, fellow Indians? Where do you work? How much $$? How long have you been working? Where'd you get your degree? Plans for the future? Share the highs and the lows :)

I think that we might actually benefit more by learning from other people's failures. So, people who tried and failed and eventually gave up on their product/service, please share your experiences.

• What did you work on?
• When was this?
• Solo or in a team?
• Was it technical (app/website etc.) or non technical?
• Were you ever profitable?
• Did you have any external funding?
• When did you realize that it wasn't working?
• What went wrong?
• If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently?
• What are you doing now?

I've had at least 4 different companies (that I found from "Who's hiring" thread on hacker news) reject my application and all four of these told me they went with someone else. I applied last month.

Yesterday I saw that all of these posted the same freaking job opening again.

I mean, seriously? Honestly if they told me something ANYTHING real at all, then that would be infinitely better, like is my cover letter shit? You don't like my tech stack on github? You hate the company I interned at? Am I ugly? Really, I'll take anything over the fake replies I get. I'd much rather prefer a criticism of my profile rather than just being lied to blatantly.

Hey there! I'm a budding shopify app dev and I've been practicing for a couple weeks using Shopify's API. I'm ready to work on something real now, but since I'm new to shopify, I don't know what to work on.

Tell me about an app you want but can't find and I'll make it :)

Indie = Had an idea + took it to market. Let's say successful = $1k+ total revenue.

• Are you still working on it? What do you do differently now than when starting?
• Did you do any advertising?
• What are your favorite tools?

So yeah I'm looking to get out of here. I got a pretty good GATE score, average GPA, a bit of industrial experience.

I have no idea how to approach this. I haven't given GRE/TOEFL yet. I'm also looking into doing PG certification courses (like a 1 year MS) that doesn't need GRE. I'm currently looking at random colleges and application processes. I figure there's got to be a better way than doing it all in such a haphazard manner. So, does anyone know of a good consultant?

I'm from India, got 100 Mbps internet. Bought Rocket League, 400 ms ping. Wtf. The game looked like my opponent (with like 16 ping) was pretty much teleporting around me.

I don't want to return it, is there any way at all that I can play online?

Hmmm well Idk if there could be an educational audio only programming books, perhaps semi-related to programming? Still looking for an educational audiobook though, not some short story or novel or something.

Something like this perhaps...but with worse graphics.

It was a racing-ish game, you just had to race up a highway (the road scrolled from the top of the screen to bottom), avoid crashing into cars, pickup boosts (I think?). You could only move sideways I think.
