I worked in a semweb company ~10 years ago - https://jena.apache.org/ as a general starting point is a useful library. I remember distinctly OWLIM https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/O…

I did some front end work as a primarily back end guy - I've found that doing some nodejs has helped my core javascript altogether. You have to let go of your ideas about classical…

653 on Zillow all throughout the metro area, for 3 bedroom houses over 1500 sq feet. SF really distorts our perception of reasonable prices.

I would probably buy a house in the outskirts of seattle or denver for maybe 250K - tons of houses around 3beds, minimum 1500 square feet, if you expand the search. Then, start a p…

I tend to agree with your points here - if you end up in a conversation with that guy, I would also add: 1 Java does get concurrency right and the trade-off made in going to a sing…

maybe you're measuring incidence rate without taking into account population size? The fact that there are a lot more felons who patronize starbucks than my local coffeeshop doesn'…

I'd recommend setting up lambda/api gateway/cloudfront for a serverless application, there are lots of guides out there - you want to do something that will be relevant when you ar…

I think it's time for this meme about engineering being a young man's game to die. There are plenty of events in the olympics with good competitors in their 30s and early 40s. The …
