While I'm not old, I have been a professional developer for 17 years and feel that first downwards curve in the author's graph (and I get frustrated at the younger programmer's reinventing the wheel from time to time). Howeve

I never had any problem finding serious gigs on freelancer.com. Advertise your rate (in my case 70-100$/h depending on the technology), without bowing down to the $10/h bids. Just the fact that you can write a grammatically correc

There is an extremely well furnished documentation system, describing every option, and giving usually playful and interesting examples. I often take "mathematica" days where I just go through the help system finding nice examples

The code I come back to when I want to see an elegant combination of advanced concepts and exhilaratingly simple code is Peter Norvig's "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming". While it is common lisp, most of the

It also samples the whole system, including the kernel. In embedded programming, a significant part of your application's time might be spent in some kernel routines, or servicing interrupts, and perf makes it extremely easy to figure

it's a great language, once you get past the fact that writing code in the notebook is a horrible experience. You get a great lisp, along with pattern matching and rule replacement. I can recommend the book by Paul Welling, as well as

I think that is the main reason behind the comments here. The mathematica language takes some using too, and its syntax definitely is on the weird side of functional. However, do you expect this kind of complex example to be a paragon of cl

This seems completely delusional to me. Your answer to every problem is saying "solve the problem". I can think of two problems every person has that are not trivially solvable with your approach: Problem: people die Problem: peop

nope, just that layout. 6 really comes into play when doing web development. These days I'm usually running with 2 or 3 external monitors, as I don't have as many things to keep track off. Having virtual desktops hides the kind of

i decided to learn drawing 4 years ago, and have been working on it since then. once you realize that it is about seeing as much as drawing, and that the drawing part is actually really technical and a skill, it gets really fun (and frustra

this is what took me a long time to realise, and was really in part due to schooling. All the classics are about gritty human life, about the pain and joys of life and death. One teacher managed to bring that over, the rest transformed thes

there's no rules about what looks good or not, obviously. the rule of third is also applied very liberally, you don't have to put focal points dead on thirds. It just is a nice rule that gives you quick results. Ultimatively, it i
