We are looking to add a back-end engineer to work on our Ruby on Rails tech stack. You would be joining a small team of other engineers and designers working across the consumer and business products.

As a female computer programmer called Julianne, I chuckled at point 18.

Not that I'm aware of. At least I don't think I've ever shown any signs of epilepsy and certainly have never been diagnosed with it.
I've mentioned the 'motion' sickness issue to my GP in the past but it was dismissed as nothing very serious. On the one hand I understand as I can avoid the triggers relatively easy but equally its troubling to know something so innocuous can make me feel so sick.

This is a topic close to my heart. Ever since console gaming went 3D I realised I can't look at anything from a first person perspective without feeling violently ill.
The effect takes hold quicker if I'm looking at someone else playing but even when it is me controlling the action I will be ill within minutes. If I let it get to that point the only solution is to go to a dark room and lie down for an hour or more.
I sometimes joke about it, but in reality I do worry about a future of HUDs and VR environments.
From the two available theories I find the Sensory Conflict Theory the more compelling although I'm still not convinced they have entirely cracked it.
Along with gaming I get similar effects from 3D movies. I struggle to understand the postural challenge that comes from watching a 3D movie vs a 2D movie in the same cinema seat. From my lay persons perspective it would seem to have more to do with the ability of my eyes/brain/inner ear processing more information simultaneously and making contextual sense of it.

But the size of EU member states varies drastically. Germany is home to 83,000,000 people, Malta just over 440,000.
Is the EU suggesting that Malta's population should only be able to stream content 2x the volume of its domestic content output? And that's assuming the likes of Netflix was able to hoover up all of that domestic output which seems untenable.

How can this work in practice? Can the 30% be from any EU country?
I'm Irish, we don't produce that much stuff. If it has to represent 30% of the catalogue, that catalogue is going to have to shrink massively.

Resi (resi.co.uk) | London | Full-Time | Front-end Engineer
We are Resi, a London based team that is changing how residential architecture works in the UK. We bring technology to an industry dominated by email, phone calls and spreadsheets. Focusing on the customer experience but building the processes and technology to allow us to compete at scale.
In short we are looking to add someone to the team who can work with both our designers and back-end engineers to make our product ideas a reality.
We are a Ruby on Rails app, with pretty vanilla HTML/CSS/JS/AJAX front end. Experience of working in a Rails environment would be useful but definitely not a pre-requisite.
We haven't yet added any React components but it is on our roadmap.
The ideal candidate would be opinionated about how to organise and build front-end code as a codebase matures and scales.
Full job listing is available [here](https://resi.freshteam.com/jobs/Isx35ZMlpbJZ/front-end-engin...)

I’m assuming it means mentioned as a post. I know I’ve personally seen Cal Newport’s, Deep Work mentioned in the comments at least a dozen times.

BuildPath | London, UK | Full-time | On-site | Ruby on Rails
We are BuildPath, a London based team that is changing how residential architecture works in the UK. We bring tech and product thinking to an industry dominated by email, phone calls and spreadsheets. That means we can offer professional grade architecture packages to our customers 10x faster and 10x cheaper than a traditional architect.
In terms of tech, we are a very typical Ruby on Rails stack (Postgres, Heroku, Redis, etc.) It is a relatively young codebase, so no legacy technical debt to avoid. You would be joining as the first backend engineer, working alongside me the CTO. The wider team is currently 12 people (mix of Sales, Design and Architects), we are funded and are growing very quickly.

I would only ever share that level of data if we had already signed a term sheet and were in the latter stages of DD.
The sad fact is that there are unscrupulous VC firms out there that are just looking to mine you for data. Either for the benefit of a company already in their portfolio or as a comparison point for another deal they are considering.
Trust your gut.

During the Dublin Web Summit (two weeks ago) Drew Heuston stated that Dropbox hadn't touched the previous funds they had raised. I wonder why the need to raise the money at this point?
I haven't found anything close to scratching that Chants of Sennaar itch so far but I will check out the other games you mentioned as I haven't played any of them.
I also loved the conceit of the Obra Dinn but the visual style made me feel physically ill to the point I couldn't continue with the game. I'm useless with any first person POV stuff in general though.
