It very much matters why you were convicted or even changed with. I'd never hire a DBA who has a record of stealing, however I'd have no problem if you had murdered someone. Drugs and alcohol (especially DWI) are problematic as everyone will wonder if you're high (or drunk) right now. If you have those problems and have followed a 12 step program I'd emphasize it. Otherwise take steps to get employed that everyone should take such as joining professional organizations and networking. Most jobs I've ever found have been through someone who knows me.
Good luck
Forth is a threaded interpreted dictionary language that might on the surface seem dead until you realize it's usefulness in machine control, both for servos and stepper motors. As long as there are robots there will be Forth.
Ages ago I diddled with toggles on a PDP 8; first program was to update the program address counter by 1 every instruction. Now I do Data Warehousing which requires that I know the business at least as well as the business itself. So yes things have changed.
First of all, I wrote the previous post at work and, in the chaos of my office I think I misread the original post.
I worked on the software that tracks when and where a person votes.
ie: You walk into a polling station, present your ID and then get given a ballot form. The system records the time, location and TYPE of vote against your ID and synchronises that to a central database in near real-time. It does NOT record WHO you voted for. I'm sorry that I gave that impression. My bad.
I am not familiar with the software used to determine the outcome of votes. But, and this is speculation on my part, I can't imagine that it would be overly complex.
I'm honestly not sure why one wouldn't want to release the code. If nothing else, it might be nice to have a 'reference implementation' for a democratic vote tallying process. I assume a reasonable reason might be that it has not been audited for public consumption. Even a simple audit requires time and money. Both of which are in short supply at the AEC.
They could release pseudo code instead of machine code. That way we could be sure that the code works without having to reveal vulnerabilities to potential hackers. And if a hacker/black hat can leverage a problem found within the pseudo code then the whole thing should be rewritten.
I am also a case in point; I have over 20 years experience yet couldn't find a job. They either wanted a 30 something or a H1B(?) that they could pay 1/3 the usual rate. As long as these conditions persist employers will complain about not enough workers while older software professionals go without jobs. Now I'm trying my own company doing Data Warehousing as I know the subject and fortunately haven't had a failure yet.
As long as the industry has a bias towards the very young it will see high turnover rates. If "they" ever recognize that experience holds value in whatever language or task is used then they will see a dramatic drop in turnover.

Yes it might be the boondoggle that cold fusion is but what the heck I'd like to see it in action. And if Bill Gates doubles his fortune so be it.
If anyone else tried to patent this they would be called an internet troll hence my calling Uber internet trolls.

Almost all the Forth programmers I know own their own companies. Heck that's got to count for something.
Good chunk of change. People forget about tasks such as Data Warehousing which really isn't programming but is heavily technical.

So 3.7 million internet users are wrong? What's wrong is something in the FCC.
How do you turn on a toaster? Toaster like I think I love you.
These innovations make me want to buy Intel stock.
I use Linux when it makes sense, OSX when it makes sense, and Windows when it makes sense (although now just for using the program Access).

Personally I come down on the Nurture side as adopted twins have more dissimilarities than twins raised together.
Two years of community college heck just hire the older workers that you let go because you thought they were too old.

I want it if only to not miss calls (lots of these with AT&T.

Amazon is just viewing themselves as above the fray while being in the middle of it.
Everyone building a computer builds from off the shelf components so it only makes sense that Boeing does the same.
