I recommend reading pretty much anything written by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, David Wong, or Charlie Stross. (Stross is less recommended only because he writes a lot more and his quality level is less consistent; that said, at his be

Tangentially related: my day job involves cleaning up patent data, and IBM can't spell its own name consistently: there are thousands of unique variations of IBM as an assignee name, far dominating all other US and european patent ho

Duolinguo definitely has German. I suggest supplementing active practice with passive exposure (switch to music with German lyrics, stop watching tv and movies not in German).

Some systems still use MUMPS in the medical field. To the extent that people still develop expert systems, PROLOG is still used in the development of such systems (and various AI projects like Watson use PROLOG internally). A lot of places
