I think the best balance is to allow remote working anytime, but only hire local. The focus of management should be on results, not on hours in the office. This system has the best of both worlds. Remote from anywhere in the world has a l

The reason it sucks has more to do with the language and the culture that has grown up around it I think the culture is a far bigger issue than the language. Java is good when used properly, especially with the Java 8 updates. I don&#x2

For Los Angeles, UberX, Lyft, and others have the potential to solve the "last mile" issue of public transit. Especially with newer carpool features like UberPool and Lyft Line. LA is currently investing a lot into building more

I think I partially agree, but would rephrase it as this: It's important to pick your battles. Promoting only innate talent can lead to lazy adults with unfulfilled potential. However, promoting only hard work can lead to depressed a

Switching jobs works well when developers are in their 20's. But I've found in the 30's that a number of factors combine to make it much less attractive: 1) Each jump becomes less and less. There's an invisible salary

I think the Expo line will be a key factor. It will link SM with DTLA and there's plenty of cheap housing in between. And linking to DTLA (Union Station) is important because it's the link to the rest of SoCal through Metrolink.

The comment is off topic since the article is not about Spring or JBoss and it recommends against using Hibernate. The article is about a modern lightweight stack (JAX-RS, Jetty, Dagger, JDBI).

I've heard of Quasar before and had a general idea of what it is, but didn't look at the documentation carefully until now. My understanding is that I can run arbitrary synchronous code in Fibers? For example, consider the Mongo

The primary issue with the current technical interview style is this: No one likes working on a problem with someone watching them constantly. Most companies are underestimating the power of social presence. Just knowing that someon

They support Java 7 syntax, however they do not have the API improvements in Java 7. For example, Java 7 introduced a much improved File IO API in the java.nio.file package. It has very useful classes like Files ( http://docs.or

I like the changes in Java 8, but I'm concerned about Java fragmentation between Oracle/OpenJDK and Android. It seems Android is stuck on Java 1.6 (since Dalvik is not "true Java" and is more like a VM that happens to i

Tesla is interesting, but there may be an upcoming battle between EV and fuel cells since it seems Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai are supporting fuel cells instead of EV. But Tesla is not alone (Nissan, BMW) so this may be a battle that will s

Security could become a big factor in web vs native. For example, I don't trust the facebook native app. I've used both the web and native versions and the native version is smoother and better. But I don't trust facebook.

Last time I checked, which was a year ago, there's a federal $7500 tax credit and a California $2500 tax credit for electric cars. I don't know if these still exist or if they will when Tesla's new car is available. But if

The Java standard API has a lot of inconsistencies, but it would break too much code to remove old stuff. A simpler first step would be much more aggressive use of @Deprecated. There are entire packages in the standard API that should be

Time is important, but another factor is mental energy. I have only a certain amount of mental energy for each day. Things like TV, reading, and exercising are good when I'm in a low mental energy state. If I have a hard day at work

Has anyone thought about using this new VR tech outside games? Maybe games will perfect the tech but there is so much potential outside it. For example the OS desktop metaphors could finally be taken to the next level. Files, recycle bins

A little bit off topic, but this reminds me again of how much the web needs an easy payment system (as easy as in-app purchases in mobile). EFF, wikipedia, I often see notices or news of things they're doing and think to myself that I

Some thoughts/questions about asm.js 1) I understand the C/C++ -> LLVM -> Emscripten -> asm.js process. But I heard they're also working on supporting GC languages (like Java and Go). How would this work exactly?

Ran this on my Galaxy S3, impressive demo. As these techniques become more common, there may be a shift away from native mobile apps to web/hybrid(phonegap) apps for most applications.

How does the performance of this compare to AngularJS? Also a common performance issue in AngularJS is when there are too many watchers (such as a large table with many rows and columns) which causes the $digest to become really slow. Wou

If the ECMAScript committee would just take typing ideas from TypeScript, stamp ECMAScript 6.1 on it, and approve it as standard, JavaScript could become an amazing language.

When I look at Dart vs JS (JavaScript), I see a lot of parallels to Java/C#. The Java language stagnated for a long time under Sun. The language was usable only through the heroic efforts of tool vendors (Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc.) Ev

Competition is good but for app development it's becoming too much. Android and iOS and WP and maybe Firefox OS? Who can handle developing four versions of an app? There's been a lot of debate on native vs web based on performa

I think that depends on if the salary is fair. If it's not fair (below market) then it becomes the overwhelming factor. Above fair, it quickly has diminishing returns and other factors are stronger. Part of good management is recogn
