Yeah, this particular recruiter speaks of C# and Angular. I consider myself pretty darn fluent in C# but Angular? Really just a basic understanding. I've written a simple web app using it, but that's about it. So I'm kind of hesitant to respond since I automatically think they are expecting...

"Hey, stranger. You say your speciality is security? Here's a gun!"

Any positive opinions on recruiters coming at you on LinkedIn? I'm starting to receive emails that seem like people who are genuinely interested in my skills. I tend to shy away from most social networking sites so not sure if there are any "gotchas" to LinkedIn.

This series reminded me of probably my favorite Star Trek: TNG episode,The Measure of a Man.

Is the dude that got the crap kicked out of him an android too? I couldn't quite tell what the black android was doing with the wire -- cauterizing the wound or hooking something up? It looked like a wire was coming OUT of the guy.

Last Ship returns tonight!

On a scale of 1 to 10, what is the "adult situations" index compared to Game of Thrones? Thrones being a "10". (trying to gauge who I can watch this with.)

I didn't watch Season 1. Season 2 is a completely new story with different characters, right?

Wait, this doesn't have an online mode?

Ha! I just finished Dark Souls 2. Only took me 138 hours. I think I ended up enjoying DS2 more than DS1, despite it not having a connected world (which is one aspect I loved in DS1 and Demon's Souls). Never had a desire to play NG+ in any of them, though.

The most disappointing thing was the epic Peter vs. Sylar battle that never happened.

I'm chomping at the bit to use the newer web technologies: AngularJS, NodeJS, Bootstrap, etc. etc. But we're stuck with ASP.NET WebForms and I know, deep down, they will never give us the go-ahead to write something new. And that is what's frustrating is that it's difficult to learn something...

Definitely some beautiful women in this show. Sadly, Jamal is my favorite character. He is so much more interesting than Barry. I think the writers made a mistake by making him so over-the-top villainous: raping his daughter-in-law and outright trying to murder the opposition leader in that...

Same here. But12 Monkeyswas the first of their programs in a long while to hold my interest.

I liked when the bitch wife said, "You're just a stupid machine, aren't you?" And she replied with, "Yes, Laura." with just aslightbit of sarcasm. Very poignant scene when she was looking at the moon.

We have white noise generators in the ceiling. So you constantly hear a "SHHHHHHHHHH" in the background.

Our product owner is pretty knowledgeable, but our BA is kinda clueless. And, like I mentioned before, none of the developers or testers truly understand the domain so requirements that come out of discovery end up being ambiguous and incomplete. And, to top it off, my particular team is...

C# is a .NET language (as well as VisualBasic and F#). If you're interested in web development then ASP.NET MVC is what you should study. For desktop apps go WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). Just go download Visual Studio. The free version is good enough. C# compiles into .NET IL...

I enjoyed the pilot. Plus, when was the last sci-fi show that took place on board a spaceship? I don't even remember, so I'm sticking with it unless it getsreallybad.

You've described our environment to a "T". Open environment with tables. We sit across from one another so it always looks like someone is peeping at you over their monitor. Plus, the constant talking between the guy on my right and his friend (who he got hired) on my left. Thankfully I can...

On another subject: our team uses the Scrum-Agile process of software development. What is becoming a major issue, in my mind, is how our development is so uncoordinated and unplanned. For example, another dev and I were tasked with adding new reports to a newly created module in our software...

Personally, I hate excessive comments. One of our devs loves to write voluminous comments and it eventually just becomes noise. Your code should be clear as to what it is doing. And, as for magic strings and numbers, that constant should have a descriptive name to make it clear what it...

Dunno but people at work made the same comments. So apparently it wasn't communicated that clearly. Also, not sure I liked their depiction of the King Pin. The guy spoke like a retard and wasn't particularly charismatic. How could such a person have so many people under his command? Throw...

Woah woah woah, stop the clock. What about Iris? He pines over this girl for years and years and just suddenly goes for some new chick? Zero sense. Unless Iris dies.

I slowly moved through the series and just finished it today. Really enjoyed it for the most part. However, I don't think the writers did a very good job at depicting exactlyhowFisk was "tearing apart" Hell's Kitchen (other than knocking down a couple apartment slums?). And exactlywhatwas his...

MURPH!

"By that logic, anyone who goes to an open casket funeral is a murderer." Fucking hilarious.

The coder is probably trying to avoid magic strings.

While we're on the subject...

Hey, I actually really liked this show. I admit the big bad is goofy looking, but overall the first season was a fun ride. You know, switch-off-your-brain type of thing.

I love this show for Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu's legs, but the cases are often a bore. I think the problem is that they have to craft relatively elaborate crimes in order to be a challenge for Sherlock. But I suspect they go way over the head of the general viewing audience.

I'm betting on the eventuality of Skynet. Perhaps nothing quite so apocalyptic as the films - but an advanced technological biological species will be replaced by a machine intelligence of their own creation. Either willingly or by accident. Honestly, biological organisms are quite...

We have an Indian female working with us. She's very nice and intelligent. Only complaint I have is she doesn't use deodorant.

Manual! Nice.

Oh, and fucking smart choice with choosing the rope. FINALLY someone makes some damn shoes.

I thought he was a really cool dude. I was cracking up over his rat-organ comments. Regardless, he knew his shit and I didn't feel he was ever being "bossy". I think a couple of times it was like, hey, I know what I'm doing, I've done this before, your idea ain't gonna work. But he was never...

They keep hounding us to write unit tests, but the problem is our application is so old it's inherently untestable. New stuff we can unit tested, sure, but changes or additions to legacy code? Forget it. Our app is an ASP.NET Web Forms which has so much business logic written into the code...

What doesTomorrow Landhave to do with Tron? Tron: Legacy actually had pretty decent box office numbers I thought?
