Here's how this oath thing would play out: 1) New regulation forces some branches of software engineering to have some type of oath. 2) Now some software jobs will require only oath takers to do. 3) A well payed and powerful new cast o

A crystal ball? All jokes aside he was not foaming at the mouth or unpleasant when we first started the meeting, and I'm not the quickest one to pick up on subtle body language cues. So your guess is as good as mine.

I recently watched a great video showing a toaster from the 40's. It's amazing the features and engineering used to make such a little gem: https://youtu.be/1OfxlSG6q5Y All this without IoT, Block chain or Deep Le

I've had one such interview go really bad. I am normally a very trusting and confident person, but that interview destroyed me for days. This was for an internship on my first year of uni when I just started learning to code C and C++.

Maybe this is the equivalent of the flash mobs in malls some years back? Instead of people being physically present, they all have drones and fly them in a formation? Bored, smart, rich kids will definitely be able to pull this off.

Testing should be an exercise in risk assessment. If module A is very expensive to fix and has a high probability of failing in production, well of course you want to have it rock solid and should be thoroughly tested. You could build a pr

Also consider that juniors are all bright eyed and full of optimism and certainly tend to idealize things at first. Then experience, hardships, victories and org politics teaches them the 'real' game and hopefully they use that ex

It seems like the 'scientist' part of 'Data scientist' might cause this sort of misunderstanding. There's a lot more 'engineering' and fiddling going on than any type of 'science-y' stuff it seem

I did not know the definition of 'trickle down' economics, thanks for that. I had a vague idea of bread crumbs falling off the table of the 'lords' to be consumed by the 'populace'. My idea was : someone buys a

I think it really sucks when you try to do good by everyone (community, business owners, ordinary citizens) and encounter so much friction. I think I can understand the author's point of view. Many areas seem to have dismal internet ac

Oh, and let's not forget about Hydro-Québec's innovation with an all electric motor-wheel(early 90's!). Way ahead of it's time, and canned for suspicious reasons. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl

You can always use Indie Gogo, Kick Starter, Patreon or any other similar platform to fund your project. Banks are risk averse. Lending to a restaurant they can always recoup a lot of material and other physical assets as collateral. Not ne
