I'm sorry about that. I might have been the one who originally suggested the name "Java" inspired by the cup of Peets coffee I had in my hand at the time. To be fair it would have been Kim Polese and Patrick Naughton and Jame

Pascal was the programming language we used in college in the late 70s, and although I knew it translated to p-code that was then interpreted, somehow that never became much of a focus. We just used the language like you would any other hi

Not a chance at our 3-yr old startup. That's less than a summer project, and nobody expects much from summer interns. Maybe you haven't written highly async Go services in containers orchestrated by kubernetes. You would spent t

I don't know how hard it will be to land a tech job in general, but for any individuals I know it will be more difficult. It gets much harder in your thirties, and a damn near impossible to get a development job by the time you are f

I really like your explanation of diagonalizable matrices! I've always seen explanations of how to determine if a matrix is diagonalizable, but hadn't run across the idea that they are just scaled diagonal matrices for a differen

Wow, armchair engineer, you sound like you really know what you're talking about. When this old engineer worked on embedded MIPS cores and 802.11[abgn] at Broadcom, everything was under source code control. This was pre-git, so I thin
