   Groovy is a unique and appealing language for developers that use Java to write "Business Apps". You can start out writing plain Java code. Then start to add a little Groovy syntactic sugar. Then increase your dosage of Groovy syntactic s

   Guido works at Google. I wonder if Google is looking at functional languages like Clojure.

    He thinks Cloud Computing is a fancy name for clustering. He even said this in Oracle's latest quarterly earnings report. Maybe he doesn't get it, because services like Heroku are much more than clustering.

    The railroad industry, which he used for comparison, is not apples to apples. Reason: There was no open source, cloud computing, etc. disruptive equivalents in the railroad industry. On the other hand he's successfully made a boatload of

    It's a matter of aesthetics, but you're still in a for loop. In the Clojure code you have assigned user to a variable and are out of the "loop".

    One new thing to me about Clojure. Check out this one line of Clojure code: (if-let [user (@users email)] //do stuff And the equivalent in most other languages: for (e in users) { if (e.email == email_passed_in) { user = e } } if

    I think a good argument can be made that the US health system deters entrepreneurship because many people don't branch off and do their own thing because they are worried about finding affordable health insurance as a sole proprietor.

    I recently had a physical therapist look at my 6 month old daughter at G'town hospital in DC for a routine checkup. Before I could see the therapist for a half-hour session I had to interact with 4 different people and sign so much paperwo

    I assume the the signature at the end "-Jeff" was Jeff Bezos. If so, that's pretty impressive that the CEO knows so much about technology.

    I don't even know if this is the answer. The reason being I have never needed to work with fractions or with the modulus operator (I'm 12 years out of school, which is the last time I need it). The only reason I know about it is because

    Out of curiosity, why do you think questions like reverse a list without using reverse features of the language, or print out a file backwards a good judge of development skills? I've been programming over 10 years and my opinion is that so

    Tough questions without also building rapport is also bad. I've had some interviews where they asked tough questions and I got a job offer but I declined because I felt there was no rapport or interest in my career.

    An analogy could be made to selling a house: What if we made home sellers liable for selling a house that didn't have "sufficient" security. What if a rapist breaks into a house that didn't have bars on the windows? Should we make the hom

    I hope the Basho, 10Gen and other alternative database companies make a dent into Oracle's marketshare. They'll need seamless integration with other technologies that provide complete solutions, because that's what Oracle now sells, and tha

    I read the book "New Ideas from Dead Economists" when I was in college. It's a great read. One of the recurring themes is how economists seem to always predict gloom and doom.
