Hardware keeps getting smaller, more powerful and more distributed. To keep up with growing system complexity, there's a growing software revolution—called “reactive” development—that defines how to architect applications that are going to participate in this new world of multicore, cloud, mobile and Web-scale systems. "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction"

This misses a few of our (anti)favorites; but manages to cover most of the bases reasonably well, and I can't really look at it any call anything out for being just wrong.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So BASIC could be a VW beetle or Citroën 2CV. But what about Pascal? Something else French?

There, now that didn't hurt, did it?
And while some might complain of the lack of 'technical content' in that item , it's going in tomorrow's news.
Thank you very much!

It's also far from the 1st time that I pasted something I got from a friend here. OTOH I've got maybe 2 dozen vaguely geek friends to get stuff from; how many hundreds of sites do you have RRS feeds for now?

I'm just trying to express thanks that you're shovelling, rather than hitting me with the shovel.

Compose a tweet-length Wolfram Language program, and tweet it to @WolframTaP. Our Twitter bot will run your program in the Wolfram Cloud and tweet back the result. OK, finally a not entirely useless reason for Twitter (but really, mostly)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Because that worked so well for them.
The things that happen when I'm off at lunch.
Edit: Should have added before (and so now I am). Hopefully it will render the same result for Oracle.

Developers can now become Apache Spark certified. Databricks, the company that founded the open-source Big Data processing engine, and O’Reilly Media are teaming up to launch the Apache Spark Developer Certification Program. Another thing to add to the good ol' resume

Even if you're not gunning for a Google job, avoiding these mistakes will make sure your resume helps — not hurts — you, no matter what you're applying for. No, VB experience isn't on the list

This is why I realized, in my last (I mean, LAST ever) interview for a full-time position, that I am no longer qualified for FTP work - I am branded as a contractor / consultant, since I haven't held a traditional salaried job in over 20 years. It was quite startling, and I thank the interviewer for asking me "you've been a consultant for 20 years, why do you want to work for us in a full time salaried position?" I actually had no answer to that other than, "yeah, good question, I guess I don't really want to." Of course, if the dream job came along...
And so: A good rule, Bock says, is that you can have one page of resume for every 10 years of work experience. I need a page just to cover the last three years!

Well, the points mentioned in the article are valid in my opinion.
But I experienced in an interview something similar to what you described: I had a job in bioinformatics at a university. When applying a few years after that for a job in software industry, they insisted that my work experience started after leaving university - in their opinion after my bioinformatics job (not after my diploma). Of course, all my software development experience in software industry before that university job was invalidated according to their idea...
Well, that was just their (failed) approach to lower my salary requirements: "you are a junior, not a senior developer, you'll get less money!" I told them that I won't work for them.
I am sure that they complain that the government ought to change the immigration rules for non-EU citizens so that they can get foreign "qualified IT specialists" (at lowest rates, that's the point).

Quote: If your resume is more than two pages, you're doing it wrong. A good rule, Bock says, is that you can have one page of resume for every 10 years of work experience.
So if you've got more than 20 years of experience your resume will be wrong no matter what you do?

matter what you do? If you take it literally, yes. Point is that most people working in HR have a VERY, VERY limited attention-span.
My resume is four pages; with the top page being ready to be torn-off. It contains all the buzzwords they're looking for, and then there's three pages with details on what I worked on. Lots of people threw away the other three pages - all they were interested in was "proof" that I had experience with the buzzwords listed on the first sheet.

There's a huge business in "teaching" people how to write such a thing.
Subsidized by the government of course, trying to get more people to do some work.
