google’s push for kotlin and apple’s push for swift seems like ego-ism and aiming for glory to me. What new does kotlin or swift offer which python or ruby can not? Why reinvent the damned wheel for syntax sake when they could have worked f

Internet is the culprit - as humans we have replaced interacting in physical world with a digital world and thus the physical world is becoming more and more of a barren place when it comes to social interaction. In modern society, unless i

I am sure if the website included majority of fortune 500 companies, then .NET usage would reflect favorably (it still won't overtake java but it would be up there). There is a place for technologies and associated stacks where the dem

Another reason is abundance of IT talent in and around Toronto with top-class educational institutions (both Universities and Community Colleges) churning out armies of great IT workers. That and combined with relatively lower salaries...

lol, simple: iPhones can't compete in any poor / non-rich country. I am sure there maybe exceptions but as a norm, they won't be able to. And that is fine, I respect Apple for that - their quality and user experience is unpar

Perhaps allow a major Western military power to come and establish a huge permanent base, and pray for some natural resources to be found might shorten the long road to independence. That and paying huge wads of cash to celebrity-turned-act

corpse decomposition water won't last 2000+ years especially if not frozen. Probably the coffin was porous or had crack from where the sewage water seeped into the coffin from a nearby leaking sewage pipeline.

How was she brave? She was born into a political dynasty. Used the platform laid down by her Daddy to jumpstart her own political career. Lived a privileged, pampered life. Brokered deals with the scum Taliban to help further her ambitions.

This may not amount to much for Pakistani people. The forces and judiciary are so pathetically weak that they couldn't force the PM and his Daughter and his sons to remain inside of Pakistan - so what if the PM's wife is sick in L

Agreed - and that is why I would like Canadian forces to aggressively block/restrict unwanted folks in USA to enter Canada - let US deal with the economic costs of handling them.

don’t be naive, I am not talking about US citizens moving to Canada. I am referring to unwanted folks in US - refugees, illegals who are in US and trying to seek assylum in Canada. I sympathize with the refugees and so do most Canadians but

If anything as a Canadian I rather see Canada openly and aggressive court China, Russia, EU and Mexico+Brazil as trading partners to significantly reduce dependence on US. Canada needs to understand need of the hour is not to engage in mora

excellent decision! This will hopefully have a affect on Pakistan as well as Pakistanis view Mumbai as the commercial role model for their geographic region. Hopefully my city Karachi can also follow this example.

It may have been the case in the past but now, I would say the more senior you get as a Developer, the more valuable you are and more salary you will draw. just do yourself and keep upgrading your skills and keep curious!

If you are applying for a Development job with 10+ years experience, that is wonderful. But what is not wonderful is to fill up your resume with tools/languages which are either dead/obsolete or which are not relevant for the job
