Do you have any plans for scripting?

Java as a Programming Language? I don't think it's dying anytime soon.

Java as a Runtime Platform? I don't think it's dying anytime soon either.

JAVA might be a little bit old (in terms of technology) but more modern languages has a lot to do to catch up in:

* Multiple Relational DB support (I am still need to see good support for Python or NodeJS for databases like SYBASE, INGRES, others)

* Library ecosystem (there is a library for almost anything in JAVA) * Installed based (there is A LOT of Java Software out there)

I can see modern languages for the JVM like KOTLIN or SCALA fulfilling the places where JAVA is cumbersome.

Having said all this, unlike what was real 10 years ago, I definitely see that right now there are more JOB offerings for engineers in other languages (JavaScript/Node, Typescript, Python, and maybe even GO).

[EDIT]: grammar.

Liked it very much. Some of them pretty obvious, some of them not.

Heartbreaking. I've been a long time user of DHCPD but (as I think many of us) never knew or think about all the people and hard work behind it. Thanks for everything.

OP could have added Andy’s need to remind everybody he attended Cornell as another proof of his point.

ASU: Asuncion, Paraguay.

Facebook's extremely popular instant messaging service for mobile phones is down right now. WhatsApp official status twitter account (https://twitter.com/wa_status) shows no activity since 2014. Twitter users are actively tweeting about it right now (https://twitter.com/search?q=whatsapp).

I could really use something like this. It's a recurring problem I have: finding interesting podcast material to listen to while working out.

Podcast suggestions should remain on the front page longer than articles do in HN though. Since listening to a podcast is way more time consuming than reading an article.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks neat! Won't display metadata correctly on PosgreSQL 8.3 or earlier versions though. This is the error I'm getting: "column "typcategory" does not exist".

UPDATE: added 8.3 version number.

That's a very good two-piece advice. I would add this: - The ones that use technologies you enjoy working with.

It keeps crashing on me. I'm on Lion. :(

Looks good though. I thought it was going to be YET ANOTHER ECLIPSE distribution, but apparently it's not. It seems to be pretty fast. Hope they fix the crashing issue on Lion soon.

Agree. 100%.

Just plain old awesomeness from Google...

It's probably because they're using other filters as well and not only using score.

I.E., it would make sense they only want to hire people under certain age, or certain academic enrollment status... Who knows...
