What language makes the most sense now to get the jobs?

C#

I've deliberately omitted .NET — I have no desire to do the Microsoft languages.

Are you interested in which language makes you most employable or not?

Transportation and long term storage of hydrogen is problematic *on Earth* because of the presence of oxygen in our atmosphere - that's not a problem in space or on Mars.

It says five months of maternity leave with full pay. In the UK, it's 6 weeks at 90% salary, 33 weeks at £124.88 or 90% of salary (whichever is lower) and 13 weeks unpaid. Google's terms are much, much better than most of Europe. There are exceptions - but only a handful (Lithuania gives 100% salary for 52 weeks + 85% for 52 weeks - but that's almost twice as generous as the next best).

Most heterosexual couples wait several years in between starting their relationship and getting married - during which period they won't be entitled to this perk, but homosexual employees will. It's not really a problem though - more like replacing a discriminatory policy with a small effect with another discriminatory policy with a tiny effect. Not an especially big deal, but certainly a big enough deal to make the grandparent's "give me a fucking break" unjustified.

Put a sock in it. Your government discriminates against unmarried people of all sexualities, Gogole discriminates against unmarried heterosexual people.

I think what happens is that health benefits to your spouse are tax free. Health benefits to your partner to whom you're not married are not - and gay couples can't get married. Of course this screws over the non-married heterosexual couples - maybe Google should just pay the tax for everyone who gets charged it.

Spelling errors yes, syntax errors no. So do please read the whole tree of the comment thread above the post you wish to dissect.

If the raw physical limits of machines are taken into account, every algorithm becomes O(1).

Your logic is an exact analogy to "Bubblesort is O(1) - a naive analysis says O(n^2), but because n is bounded to 2^64 on 64 bit machines, it's actually O(2^128) which is actually O(1)".

O(1) *is* O(100000). The point of the article is that memory access is not O(1) - it's O(n) or worse.

He does know what he's talking about.

Where, n is the number of items stored, the lookup time is given by log(n)*COMPARRISON_COST + log(n)*MEMORY_ACCESS_COST.
That gives O(logn) only if COMPARRISON_COST and MEMORY_ACCESS_COST are *constant* - the entire point of the article is that MEMORY_ACCESS_COST is not constant, but increases as n increases.

Most geeks I know have both - they have a desktop for the reasons you mentioned, and a laptop because they never go anywhere without a computer and desktops aren't very portable. Most non-geeks I know only have a laptop. They care mostly about email, web browsing, word processing and iPlayer. A modern laptop is more than capable of handling that.

It doesn't matter what they want - you're in a much stronger position than them.
The copyright on the original, developed before you were employed by them, very probably belongs to you. The final project is a derived work of this original. Distribution of a derived work requires the consent of the copyright holder of both the original and derived work - you can prevent them from distributing the project at all (even internally) by refusing to grant a license of the original work. Simply 'remind' them that they do not currently have the right to use the final project at all.

Exactly the same number who would have gone with the torrent if this DRM system hadn't been used. So they haven't gained anything. However, they will irritate customers who don't connect to the internet when playing games - for example, people who take their laptops on flights for entertainment.

Blanket email the entire company pointing out that the Department of Homeland Security recommends against using Internet Explorer for reasons of National Security.
