At least he wasn't black, or they would have shot him.

Or maybe after 20 years, he should stop dividing by zero, either way.

It's simpler, and more portable than C++. Also, it interacts seamlessly with other JVM languages.

Short term, advertise your current skill set, and get another job requiring similar skills.

After you do that, figure out which similar technologies you like, and learn those.

People should be able to choose their personal work space.
Most people would probably like an office with a door, but it people want something else, each person should be able to choose for themselves.

I get tired of seeing this theme over and over in the news.

The correct headline is that there is no clinical evidence that homeopathy is useful.
That is not the same thing as saying that homeopathy is useless.
If you are going to criticize people for being irrational, then make a rational argument.

I hope this isn't going to happen every 24 years.

Just tell me that Motif is still safe.

Wait, is the robot the violent one?

I was wondering how the Chinese were hiding all those billions of extra people.

Pretty damn cool. I might have to go home early from work.

I got my masters degree back in the olden days, 1988. I didn't have any practical experience, and it took me 18 months and dozens of job interviews to get my first job.

In my experience, companies want BOTH a degree and experience if they can get it.

The main things that I acquired from school 25 years ago that I still use are an understanding of runtime complexity, and encapsulation.

There was lots of coding in the undergrad classes, but almost none at the graduate level. Almost all the useful stuff I learned was in the undergraduate classes.

Someone should hane whoever came up with this poll.

It seems to me that a major problem here is only releasing once a year.

I realize you are not commercial, and that 2 - 3 week release cycles may not be realistic, but you should release no less frequently than once every 3 months.

Also, if there are so many independent pieces, why do they all need to be released at the same time? This sounds like more of a project management issue than a documentation issue.

There are ratings for both personality and talent.
Finding people high on both is difficult.
Different groups put different emphasis on the two independent ratings.

There was a dorm at U of Penn in 1979 where people would dump their cards from the indoor fifth floor balcony at the end of the term.
I avoided CS until my last semester, when they moved to terminals.
Still, it was satisfying watch the cards spin as they fell to the floor.
