You sell value adds. This is often in the form of consulting (see JBoss and others) but can also be in the form of commercial plugins/extensions while your fully functional core. If you go the second route though, remember that people

I think the reduction/dropping of technology majors such as software engineering will make getting into WV Institute of Technology harder, due to more competition. It currently has a 68% acceptance rate, which is not low. I would be mo

The company I work for is hiring a lot of software devs. If you (or anyone else) want me to put in your resume and you've got some good experience, then DM me a link to your resume via @BillBarnhill on mastodon.social. This is defense

It's not going to hurt you much, if at all. Unlike other posters, I'd advise leaving it on your resume. Leaving it off could be seen as lying, if discovered, and you don't want that. Instead, stick it out another three months

If you want to maximize number of jobs requesting a language you know, then I think they would be Java, C++, JavaScript. But...you're looking at one variable: programming languages known, and this is an optimization problem with many v

TL;DR of my personal experience on this: No, but you reach a point where it helps, then you reach a point to where it's needed to move up if you are not in a small company or a startup. My experience is that I started coding when I was

Another year closer to a Shadowrun future, minus the magic, where the most powerful corporations run everything, are more powerful than most nation states, and where your only allowed role in life is a consumer/corpse-servant for life

This is so ridiculous that I wonder if the idea isn't to ban possible employee distractions, or that they can't find enough good security people to secure their networks (I wouldn't think that would be a problem for Google).

The W3C has all their specs, as far as I know, use Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), and most use the subset of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). There seems to be a strong sentiment against using other types of identifiers, based on my

I think this is a good concept, and I'd like to offer some feedback. Things I like: - I agree that something should be done - I think having a wall of honor on your site is a good way to promote adoption - I think you make so

"no long term health effects from one dose" does not account for the possibility of persistent flashbacks, or for bad trips that can cause lasting psychological trauma. LSD bonds with something in the brain, such that it causes pe

I am not commenting on whether this is a good thing or not, from my POV that's for each person to decide themselves. However, if this catches on and becomes more prevalent (and I could see that happening), then I'd expect some kin

As public awareness of HIV increased and became the AIDS Crisis, so too did incidents of attacks on homosexuals. "What man does not understand, he fears; and what he fears, he tends to destroy." - William Butler Yeats Plenty of so

It's hard to pick the top one, especially since I've learned a lot of things from the Web. Here are five: * Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch * Clean Code, by Robert Martin * The Pragmatic Programmer, by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas

I learned a lot from Dr. Dobbs journal and Linux Journal. You could get articles at every level, beginner to advanced, and they had enough details to encourage experimentation. I had many issues saved up at one point of those two, plus Comp

This is an interesting point. It's possible inventing an AI could be the solution to preventing our extinction. It goes rogues, sees it needs humans, sees they are headed for climate-based extinction if they're behavior is not mod

During World War 2 the British consulted astrologers as part of their planning process. Not because they believed the astrology predictions, but because Hitler did and was known to have astrology influence his attack plans.

Hard. Look at the work that went into SELinux. And that is not perfect. There are provably correct programs, but designing software that way will take a lot more time, and a lot more money. The problem here is not technical, we could do it.

Some of this seems very familiar, in a good way, which makes me very interested in Bluesky and the AT protocol. I worked with XRIs and was on the XDI TC. I also was on the fringes of some of the early DID spec work, and experimented with Te

I expect jobs to be lost, but new jobs to be created. For example, prompt engineers. There is already a job board for prompt engineers ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35436168 ). I've been told they can make aroun

The current flood of layoff news from FAANG level companies is surprising, sad, and pathetic. As others have posted, they could keep the people on but they aren't, probably because it isn't financially optimal in the short term to

XMPP, to my knowledge, pioneered the concept of a micro-kernel standard with feature extensions and profiles to indicate standard sets of extension support. It was, and is, a great idea for many standards. Unfortunately, a number of server

Interesting read, but did not understand the author's message or what was going on. Was it about addiction, MPD, trans discovery? Unclear, to me at least. Poor writing I think, unless the ambiguity was the intent.
