    Only 1? C++. Performance and good compilers for every platform. Raii makes handle management easier than the nested try/catch mess found in java and similar GC Lang's. Is you can h…

    There is no standard for titles so comparing them is less than useless. You get to be Mr. Dictionary and define what is what in your company.

    Ruby is about to die permanently. A language that copied emacs-lisp but with syntax? Lol that gives it features to impress the ignoramus majority but real Haskell or Lisp programme…

    I am outraged by your post. Look at start ups as a whole and it is full of white people. By using the "small company" excuse you are allowing an entire segment of the economy to by…

    Ethics prevent a real study where you lock the fatties in a cage and accurately measure the calories eaten. Fatties lie like a pro when it comes to dieting.

    Do you watch the news? Flying machines with guns are decades old tech. Drone versions are actively used. Welcome to the present.

    Seems he already knows the solution. Go native with c/c++. Re-write the front end per platform.

    Retire to create less competition for them. Then spend money on software contracts to create new seats.

    Even the resumes with false ages put down 27-30. Any ageism against 25 will be of the too-young variety.

    Make getting a job your full-time job. Full on, no dabbling. Persistently.

    Shame you are being down voted after the prism program has been made public. This is not as unlikely as it may sound.

    I don't think the arguments from either side are too simple. People who recieve free college are in favor. People who must pay the bill are not in favor.

    Similar to why we don't move people with the teleporter in star trek. It kills you ripping apart the atoms in your body then reassembles your now dead body at the destination.

    I vote for learning lisp first. Lisp is nice in that it is not married to a paradigm. Sometimes a stateful solution is the ideal. Although not part of the language, the interactive…
