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…

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…

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 lan…

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 l…

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 artic…

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 co…

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 lb…

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

Awesome. She's a role model for girls, which our field badly needs. The client list on her company's website is pretty long and substantial.
