J2EE is up there.. We have a generation of corporate Java programmers who love boilerplate code and obfuscation. High-School teachers inflicting Java on teens - cringe-worthy. Many public schools only offered Java if you elected programmin

Hi Alan, I am sometimes involved with mentoring younger people with STEM projects (arduino etc). Its all the buzz. But I heard one of my younger relatives lament about the tendency of young people to gravitate towards a quantitative field o

I think a lot of the abuse happens in Java, and java-derived languages. There is a culture,and the more lines of code you have , and the more classes you have , the better. The language environment and frameworks only re-inforce that stuff.

If you want to be intellectual there is a good chance you will be lonely here , too - though it depends. Indians are notorious for resting on their laurels - in this case, merely landing in USA qualifies as one. I am willing to bet your fir

My beagle pays close attention to crows around my home. If a fox is making his rounds, the crows start yelling, and my beagle starts looking out for the fox. (And me too)

Google and Apple don't sell Amazon devices on their stores, so I guess Amazon wants to take away that advantage from its competitors.

An educated professional's capacity to endure pain, and inability to recognize implicit humiliation (i.e. your family is way less important than this job) as measured in this article, are about 6 years. For six years he put up with thi

US Immigration is heavy handed, some of my aged relatives have entered with valid multiple entry visitor visas, and still have been questioned for 3-4 hours by rude agents. This couple made some stupid errors though, mainly they were cluele

I am 5.8, 135 lbs. I'm convinced I can be lose another 10lbs if I cut down slightly, and keep running twice a week. Down to my college or high-school weight if I drop another 10 lbs. It would reduce my cardiovascular risk, improve my r

As an aging developer who's on the wrong side of 41 yrs (or say 42, or 43 ..) , I am surprised by your impatience (to put it mildly). Don't develop an ambition just because others have it. You have decades left in you. You seem to

I think sales people wanted these more with customers. An opportunity to hang out with pretty girls, customers be damned. The tech community is pretty male dominated. So maybe they should instead get girl interns (professionally dressed of

Software startups would be the place to try - they tend to be less conventional and might look purely at your skill and energy. You could also intern at a company and make an impression. Or volunteer your skills at hackathons and get notic

There is some truth in what you say. Variations both good and bad will exist.

What you say is absolutely fine. But sometimes being comfortable can mean that we have not adapted to changes. In your case (and mine), technology seems to have circled back to what our preferences are - emacs/vi as the editor, termina

by annasaru 12y ago
I don't think I want to eliminate emacs from my work. 'editing' is a term loaded with lots of meanings - especially when it comes to emacs one is talking of a lot of (mostly good) consequences. I would think adopting an edito

Thats yet another kind of discrimination - but I am sure (and hope) there are many who will treat you fairly.

Thats 1) A bit depressing - you seem to be conveying that there is no other possibility 2) Starting a new business is not everyone's cup of tea. Even for a young person. Its loaded with risks. I do face this as well. Age does slow down

Very good info. During christmas break, I came off my exercise/activity routine, and the symptoms are back, after a longish gap.Will certainly try exercise. And avoid aspartame.

Have the same issue and diagnosis (BPPV). 2 yrs ago, I visited my dentist - a marathon 2 hr appointment with my head tilted back - ever since that appointment I've had occasional vertigo. Not sure if it was related - but I'd never

Esp. if you were running Windows, I would assume. I haven't seen that kind of propagation on non-MS platforms (just my observation).. I'd like to know if a browser on an Ubuntu box would be equally vulnerable - correct me if I am

You are 34. And a baby. Ok that may be going too far. But 30-40 is the perfect age.

It's very hard to deal with such an issue all by yourself. Hope you get therapy or coaching , something to ease your burden . It can definitively get better with time. Drinking is notoriously hard to shake off because it is sanctioned

I am forced to dual boot because my colleagues use Skype. Luckily, my laptop has a mSata slot , so a 128 Gb card dedicated to Linux. Never been an issue with dual booting my Thinkpad.
