I've been doing a lot of job hunting lately. There are a ton of crappy jobs out there for php/java code monkeys. If you can solve FizzBuzz you can get the job, though you might not want to. Python and other more fashionable languages tend t

"When I worked at the World Bank..." Sit down and shut up, you've done enough damage. As far as I can tell his thesis is that civilizations that weren't technologically developed aren't technologically developed. Uhh, ok.

Maybe this will save people some googling. 7.6 million passenger cars sold in 2006 in the US * ~$30 per buyer = $228 million is pretty much the hard limit for yearly revenue at least without going international. Maybe 10% of all sales is an

I used to have a Thinkpad, but the battery/power connector kept crapping out on me. I'm not convinced Lenovo has maintained the commitment to quality. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I currently use a (copy/paste from newegg) Gate

Microsoft is generous with their employees, but stingy when it comes to defining "employee".

9th Circuit is the most overturned circuit because it's the biggest with the most cases and most judges. The cert rate is in line with the other circuit courts.

I think (don't know) that the Opera user stereotype is a bit off; most Opera installs are on phones.

I think capital expenditures is the start of why costs are so high. It is difficult to find a hospital these days that isn't currently renovating or expanding. Hospitals can spend however much they want because they have no pressure on thei

For some reason Yahoo has incredibly talented engineers, all working on things that don't make Yahoo any money. When it comes to the paycheck, Yahoo is just a web publisher; not much more tech focused than AOL or IAC.

This is one of my pet peeves so I need to elaborate a bit. In our jurisdiction, renters have some decent protections which make it a pain in the ass to evict them (as it should be). Unfortunately, because of the ridiculous lawyer fees every

I don't mind that Stonebraker has a conflict of interest. He's marketing, I get it. I do mind that ACM has given him the platform to do it. Any other ACM publication would consider it incredibly unethical to publish articles with such clear

Disagree. It's everywhere in tech news sources. If you read any tech news on a regular basis you can't possibly be unaware. Part of being a professional is keeping on top of new products/solutions in the field, even if they aren't immediate

The entire premise is wrong because there is nothing to compare the survey data to. "44% of enterprise users questioned had never heard of NoSQL and an additional 17% had no interest. So why are 61% of enterprise users either ignorant about

My day job is mostly php and I have come to hate it. 5.3 is tolerable, but it was released in 2009 so a lot of servers/hosting are stuck with the completely fucked PHP of the past 15 years. PHP.net's documentation is pretty good, even thoug
