Yes better answer for sure. I was being a bit sarcastic since I believe the any employer would be wise to use experienced even over experienced workers if that worker is willing to be a contributor. I have hired many people in my time and only once was I sorry I hired an more experienced person. I believe that was because that person was a bad egg not their age or experience.
Thanks

Plural: Can you have too much experience on your resume?
No.
You can't be "too good" at doing what you do either.
Plural: you need to get crafty and adjust that résumé to a perfect blend of truth and obfuscation.
Which brings us two new things; the tradition of sending a crafted piece o' lie to get you invited, and the practical test when you finally meet a manager.

In the current Supreme Court case of Alice Corporation v CLS Bank International a friend of the court brief by Microsoft, HP and Adobe attempts to define patentable software. Here's why they fail. "If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today."

Quote: But there's a bigger problem: software is inherently an "abstract idea." That's the nature of computing.
Um, no. If it were abstract then you wouldn't be able to implement it. The implementation makes it concrete.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

In January 2002, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates issued a memo to all of the company's employees. It offered up Gates' vision of what he called "Trustworthy Computing". Gates felt that Microsoft should work to make "computing that is as available, reliable and secure as electricity, water services and telephony." And yet we still got Vista. Perhaps they should have stopped it a little longer.

The mysterious man behind the Bitcoin cryptocurrency has apparently been unmasked. An investigation by Newsweek tracked Satoshi Nakamoto to Temple City in California, revealing him to be a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose creation of Bitcoin was a secret even to much of his family. "You're the Dread Pirate Roberts, admit it."

said Arthur NakamotoHe is the only person I have ever known to show up for a job interview and tell the interviewer he's an idiot—and then prove it,
gives you some insight into the fellow a bit. my other favorite part of the article was this from the same person.
said Arthur NakamotoMy brother is an a**hole. What you don't know about him is that he's worked on classified stuff. His life was a complete blank for a while. You're not going to be able to get to him. He'll deny everything. He'll never admit to starting Bitcoin.
sounds like someone had some really good on the job government training while working in silicon valley area. this is that dark side of the silicon valley area that we rarely ever hear about.

Once upon a time, Microsoft was the favorite target of malware developers. As Microsoft improved the defenses in its software, though, cybercrooks moved on to easier pickings. Adobe was a prime target for a while, but Adobe followed Microsoft’s lead and made its software more secure as well. According to data from the 2014 IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Quarterly Report, the favorite target is now Java. And the other half, JavaScript

A joint study by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI has revealed that 79% of mobile malware attacks were directed at Android in 2012. Now, according to the H2 2013 Threat Report from security firm F-Secure, Android’s lion’s share of mobile malware has grown to 97% in 2013. Good news for Windows Phone users!

The real world has real problems. I just got saddled with a new problect* that has to run offline and allow the users to send us files with the data they collect -- it'll use Excel as the database.

You're not suggesting a purveyor of technology is making biased statements about the technology he's trying to flog?

It's true that solutions like MongoDB (non-relational DBs) are very good for certain data approach, but relational DB has it's place and going to stay that way. Still a lot of data is, by definition, is in fixed form with fixed relation to other fixed data (economics)...
Replacing relational with non-relational in those case is a big lost.
In the last two year I made a lot of test with or 25 years old DB design (it got some upgrade on the way according to technologies, but mainly the same as it was), and found no reason to change most of it. As today we mix relational and non-relational in a very successful way - we got better results, as performance and flexibility...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Precisely - often the blended data layer is the best approach.

There are industries that have 'big data' and they want that data to save secure, that is, in house, not in the cloud.
If they have a tool that is already in place and is doing the job, why would they want to spend the time and money to recreate what they already because "it's in the cloud!".
And for the purchase order analogy, I like to be able to say: give me all of the purchase order numbers (implication is header only) where a particular item was purchased. I don't give a rats behind what else was purchased or what the price was... I want the order number and possibly the vendor.

This week we published a new type of content called showcase apps. Are you looking for a 30,000 foot view into a real world sample or complex architecture? Showcase apps will help! A showcase app is a real world code sample with accompanying video and interactive PowerPoint decks that provide in-depth details. Use the decks to explore the design decisions behind the code sample and how the code was built. More "real world" apps for your amusement

The meat producer said Wednesday it has created a small device that, when plugged into the headphone jack of an iPhone, emits the sound and smell of sizzling bacon on demand. I'm not sure if this is genius, or evil, so I'll go with evil genius

I guess it's "Wake up and smell the bacon!"
