I have seen head first books being recommend by many. The only one I ever read half way though was one on design patterns and I regretted it. When I am learning something new, I want every sentence to be information heavy. So I could learn

That's an interesting graph. What happened after 1990? Is the period after 1990 considered an outlier or is there another explanation?

It's not either/or. Everything needs to be tuned to achieve the final latency requirements. This includes tuning java code to eliminate creating "garbage", immutable string objects mostly, unnecessary object creation, cr

It's always going to be subjective. If you have people experienced in gc tuning, it's pretty easy to weed those gc outliers out. I am currently doing that for one of the applications for the company I work for. For me, it would be

I worked for a company where we had a 100-150 microseconds order latency. We had to tune jvm to extremes. But it is very doable to optimize Java gc for low gc pause times.

You may not. As a student on F1 Visa you are not allowed to work in any capacity without the approval of your school. You can invest in a business, but you are legally not allowed to perform any tasks for the business.

It's kind of funny that the bots were arguing both sides of the issue. Whole bunch of people from both sides were mostly arguing with Russian bots. If the results weren't so grave, this would be really funny.

I totally agree with you. Whoever approves or decides on UI at Google has no taste whatsoever.

This is very ideology over common sense. There is no scientific approach in software development. Did anyone conduct a reproducible study that was peer reviewed that concluded that pair programming was x-times better in creating relatively

What's the higher range of the salaries in Barcelona. I work in USA, east coast and with 10+ years of experience, salaries can go as high as 200K+. How does this compare to Barcelona or other European tech cities? I am curious.

One could argue that the alt-right rally from last year was very eventful, hence the huge number of reporters present at the current one. And I didn't read full details about the rally, but I do know out about the skirmish between anti

If you see a nicely designed website, try to replicate it. You can learn by checking the CSS/JS and learning from it. This assuming you have bare html/js/css skills. If not, then try some online tutorials/classes/bo

Isn't that more of a gossip/sensesionlism, rather than bias? Given the track record of the guy, it even seems plausible. Besides if a senior aide to the most important person in the country says that the president said racially ex

When you say bias, are you talking about the news articles or the editorials/opinion pieces. Can you give me some examples of political bias in recent news articles?
