Yep because code that compiles is guaranteed to work properly.

Stick to what you know best, the database. Let us do what we do.

Doesn't matter.

We (the exploitative hucksters) will end up with it anyways, one way or another.

The book "What is Mathematics?" by Courant and Robbins, despite its cushy-sounding name, would be my recommendation. First of all, it's written by two world-class mathematicians. Second, it's not a textbook; rather, it's what you might call a celebration of how awesome math is. If you want to succeed in college math without being miserable, why not try to see the subject as thing of beauty, rather than a burden? This book will definitely help you do that. If you read through the first half of the book (it shouldn't take long) you will have a chance to warm the math parts of your brain back up, and you'll learn some extremely cool shit along the way. (A bit of geometry, a bit of topology, a bit of algebra, etc.)

When you get to the authors' lucid explanation of the main ideas behind calculus, you'll realize that (1) calculus isn't scary, (2) the computations you need to learn how to do are fun, not hard, and (3) everything comes down to a few very intuitive ideas -- it may have taken geniuses like Newton and Leibnitz to come up with them in the first place, but they are part of our common intellectual heritage, not erudite ideas reserved for mathematicians and physicists.

And, although it's not a textbook, there are some exercises which will give you the chance to test your understanding. Again, though, they are fun, not grueling.

Read the article. Normally the gun was kept in a locked place away from reach by the children. He took the gun out because he thought he heard an intruder. After investigating, he let the gun on the table and didn't put it away immediately.

I quoted the wrong line ......

should have been:

Wrong. You an have memory leaks in Java just as well. It's just more difficult.

I'd even go as far to say that experienced people are more likely to cause a Java memory leak, because they'll be doing unusual things for optimizing/caching and what not.

Usually, this involves Swing and dialogs that were closed and forgotten about, and not properly dereferenced.

If the company's only options are laying you off or cutting benefits to save costs, suck it up and be happy you still have a job.

If you think you can do better, feel free to walk.

If the developers are staying late because the manager messed up, it doesn't hurt to stay late (but stay out of the way and order them food)

If the developers are staying late because they come in late or they messed up, no, the manager doesn't need to stay.

Ok thanks, trying it no

Honestly, I'd rather get paid less than be on call.

Yeah, Taiwanese organs.
