If it's a hobby, sure. For me by spending more on proper tools for my job, I finish work sooner, and have more time to enjoy the finer things in life. Like Chinese food. In Shanghai.
Xeon-e2-1345/24G/SSD boot/2@2TB drives. $1000 all in last year.
They were right after mapquest to jump into the mapping game. Their China coverage is miles and miles better than Google, with both english and mandarin names on the map (google is only mandarin when you are in China).
Too bad.
That's only in Beijing and only during times of 'unrest'. Most of the year there is nothing, not even theater, so when they are ordered to dig out the wands, the batteries are dead and no one can remember how they work.
Saudi Arabia is the best - do not wake the sleeping guards, it annoys them. Please walk around the detector with your luggage to prevent it from beeping. Thanks.
You clearly haven't read the brief, or even have a basic understanding of the case (hint: API's are not copyrighted).
If Google wins, there is no such thing as copyrighted software anymore. All software with available source code, can simply be pasted into the IDE of your choice and compiled. Everything will be totally free. As a software developer your source code can be taken from you and used in any manner, including the one you originally write it for, without payment or recognition. If you like the sound of that, support Google! If you think that doesn't sound quite right, support Oracle. Your call.
Uhm, they copied the ACTUAL java source code. Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V. Compile. Hey, we have a new API for Android! And it works just like the JAVA API you are used to programming with! Same calls and everything! Amazing!
Hence, the lawsuit.
No. Not at all. Read the $#%^ briefing, please.
Google did a copy/paste of the Java source code into their own source code.
The code that creates the API's is copyrighted. The API's themselves are not.
I assume the latest version of IIS is required, and all developers have to do is enable the proprietary extensions on the server and in the browser to make this work. Wait, this sounds kind of familiar...
To get NSF or DARPA money you have to fill out a grant application...it's the model that's broken. Adding more money to a broken model won't help much.
What makes you think there is 'none of that' going on in Medicine? We have studies with huge populations taking place over decades that are ongoing. Cancer isn't that common in the population as a whole, and it takes years to study a full cycle on one person.
There is a lot of very good, very detailed very repeatable work out there. Medical research can't generate patients like a physicists can generate electrons, unless you want to induce more cancer in the population...To dismiss this important research out of hand is insulting.
Whether it simply 'makes cancer grow faster' or encourages the growth of the first cancer cell is irrelevant. It doesn't matter. That's like saying the wright brothers never flew because they didn't understand fluid dynamics. You don't need to understand something to observe it - we can observe that curved wings produce lift. Most of science is observed well before it is understood.
What we can observe today,with certainty, is there is link between smoking and increased rates of lung cancer. We are still working on understanding cancer.
When 1000's of studies, all done differently, with different data, in different places all come to the same conclusion....you ask for 1001 because, hey, you never know, right? Here's three we can put to bed: the world is not flat, vaccines work well, and smoking causes lung cancer.
IF WE DON'T WANT TO MANAGE, WE SHOULD KEEP OUR SKILLS CURRENT SO WE DONT WIND UP IN THIS SITUATION

This guys knows what you do: crappy requirements, incorrect documentation, impatient users, poor design decisions. What else does he need to know to manage a team of developers? The language changes, but the environment doesn't....
BTW: management IS a trade. You can get degrees in it and everything!
They draw dinosaurs, flowers, spiderman, farm animals, hopscotch, race tracks, cities. The driveway and sidewalk are fully engulfed my mid-spring and only 'reset's when it rains. Kids at play. With chalk. MSFT sales people are free to come by and observe.
Agile, done right, has been a game changer here.
Yes, we had to let some of our developers go - the ones who couldn't actually think. We're better off for it.
It sounds like you have failed to pick up on the obvious: Uber's business model is to break the rules, expose their mass stupidity and unfairness and then get the rules changed to benefit their customers.
Why do it this way? Because the only way to change the rules is to break them thus getting the attention of the rule makers...
You think the taxi lobby in would be willing to allow TNVS under any other circumstances?
Keep the job you have now forever, because past 50 you will be a very tough hire. All professions have the odd person who wants to stay at entry level forever, but these people do not provide value to a hiring firm. If you are that accomplished as a developer you are more valuable to the organization in a more senior role where your knowledge can be shared and leveraged.
And why would you call a meeting that wasn't real work? Good meetings are hard, it takes skill to get value from them. Maybe you don't like management because you aren't any good at it?
just wondering why it is considered normal for a lawyer to stay in that profession their entire life (becoming a better lawyer in the process), or to remain a surgeon all their life, or an architect, but not for programmers
Because it is not normal....
Surgeons? Senior surgeons become department head, then chair, then chief, then move into hospital management. A 60yr old surgeon who is not board certified and at least head of the department he specializes in will bring questions about career motivation and skill set. A chief surgeon will do a handful of surgeries a week, a ton of supervising of residents and a lot of paperwork. They don't operate all day like younger surgeons do.
Lawyers become partners and do a lot less legal work and lot more managing the firm and consulting type work. Fifty year old trial lawyers get asked all the time why they are still doing trials, why haven't they made partner?

How does one play?

That's worked so well in the rest of the USA, it should work awesome in the air too. More guns=less violence!

It shouldn't be scientists who agree, but their (verifiable, repeatable) research that agrees. Rock star scientists get us in trouble....
Here is a project tracking 10,000+ colorectal cancer patients over 19 + years. https://www.cancercare.on.ca/r...
That project rolls into this project and shares data with 5 other registries. http://epi.grants.cancer.gov/

Which is also really amazingly appealing and also completely bogus :)

"It isn't hard to code well, it just takes time" - said no writer, ever.
Random Placement – Devices receive power at any position or orientation on a pad.
High Power – The technology can deliver up to 160 Watts
Power Diversity – High and low power devices can operate side-by-side on a pad
Bulk Charging – A pad will charge as many devices as will fit on its surface
High Efficiency – Efficiency is nearly 100%
Low Cost – The technology is inherently low-cost.
