I tell all my friends about it.

I owe them to finish my projects, they know that if I promise something I deliver.

This helps, I'm working since oct 2016 on a project, I don't like it anymore since march 2017, the honeymoon is over, the tech stack is boring and the project makes me upset every time I have to write code.

I'm still coding every day, it should be done next month.

I'm doing this too, after a long time trying to do the opposite because it was frustrating to have to explain why I didn't finished something. It's better to have social pressure than not, actually.

Totally, especially when we care about those people and when we value their opinions.

I could ... but for some weird reason I'm still sitting in my hometown.

I occasionally do trips but I'm not traveling the world, maybe next year I'll spend some time in other countries.

"Digital nomad" is far from the only lifestyle enabled by remote work. Another example (which strongly appeals to me) is being able to move somewhere you can afford enough agricultural land to get a smallholding off the ground.

I image that will translate into less, rather than more, long-haul travel. But definitely tempting should the right opportunity arise.

Would you then keep the land and move permanently to that location, or would you just sell it after a few years?

For me, ideally permanent. I'd like to get the chance to know one place, really really well.

Same here...I've done a month at a time traveling (in February I went to Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia), but most of the time I'm in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA. The limiting factor is my wife's job and my daughter's school.

I don't like to be on the run all the time, a nice homebase with regular travels is just fine for me, I guess you could do the same, even with your fam.

That's kind of the same situation I'm in. I have a developer job where I think it would be very possible to travel and work remotely. It seems like such a nice way to experience the world without going bankrupt.

Totally and it's also cheaper in the long run.

I don't know if you are aware of this group on reddit.com/r/digitalnomad but there are lots of info about people who 'did it'.

I was not aware, thanks!

In my opinion you should know Spring MVC ( or boot ) as a Java freelancer.

I'd also go with Spring because they have a huge market share and many projects require Spring knowledge.

By knowing Spring you are expanding the circle for possible clients.

Play/Dropwizard are nice frameworks but they don't bring you any value as a freelancer because nobody will require knowledge/experience in those frameworks.

Why would a guy living in Germany register an Austrian Domain?

For the TLD? It wouldn't be the first time someone used a country TLD for the letters rather than the country it represents.

I guess that word play didn't work out as I hoped. :)

Latency at. You know, as latency at this location. And of course latency wasn't available on more prominent domains.

Oh ! got it now.

Hey great work thanks! I used it a few times with good results.

Would it make sense for your app to also link topics to distance learning universities ?

I mean you could contact them first then talk about a commission fee, if someone joins their course they should pay you

The same thing could be done with coursera and edX.

By no XML, they mean that you don't have to do any configuration in xml files. You can declare everything as a bean.

Example: // enabling ETAGS

    @Bean
    public Filter etagFilter() {
        return new ShallowEtagHeaderFilter();
    }

There is also the option to do many things in a yml file like you are used to from Rails.

Try ctrl + l, should do the clear.

Yes, I do [0] strong lifts, I also run 3 times a week.

Everything that Arthur Schopenhauer wrote.

It's a lot about finding purpose in life.

I started reading his stuff and then I became angry at him and at me.

At him because he showed me that I'm a slave of nature and at me because I started questioning life and humanity.

Then I started to disprove his thesis and found my own purpose in life, not only that, it also gave me a much better understanding of human nature, which can be used in marketing or product design.

> Everything that Arthur Schopenhauer wrote.

Though you're probably good just skimming over anything he had to say about women or non-white people :p

Even my 19th-century edition of his essays comes with a prefatory warning.

I agree, it's recommended to read a summary of all his texts.

Any of his work in particular?

'The world as will and representation' is probably the most important.

I would actually just recommend a book that does a summary of all his books, that's enough in my opinion.

His stuff is very hard to read and I often had to ask professionals who then translated or explained it to me.
