How are people finding jobs in today's job market, where there are many applicants per position as opposed to years ago when it was the other way around?
What is the single best area in which to live, in order to have a career in software development while also living an active, healthy life? Ideally, software and other types of jobs would be plentiful, the air and water clean, transportation reasonable, and outdoor activities plentiful and nearby.
I'm a young engineer looking into different fields I can get into, and recently I've come across tons of FAE jobs (live in Japan)
Another position is a service engineering position.
My question is what's the difference between a Field appllication engineer and service engineer?
(I hear that FAE job's require more sales and human interaction with…
I've heard that Telecoms are the big source of Erlang jobs but I'm not sure how much of a market there is. How likely is it that someone could find a job in Erlang/Haskell if they decided to learn it? In my case I have a lot of programming experience in Java but am tired of Java and want to try something different.
I have built a small tray app that will watch a folder and when a new file is added it runs a job. The job is to watch for video files and convert them to .mp4 using handBrakeCli. I have all this logic worked out. The problem I run into is that if there is more than one file I want it to queue the job til the prior one is complete. I am fairly new…
Anyone use the timer feature of RichCopy? I have a job that works fine when I manually start the job. However, when I schedule the job and click run, the app appears to be waiting for the scheduled time to elapse yet never fires. Interesting enough when I stop the job the copy starts.
Anyone have any experience with using RichCopy timer?

In many real-life situations where you apply MapReduce, the final algorithms end up being several MapReduce steps.
I.e. Map1 , Reduce1 , Map2 , Reduce2 , etc.
So you have the output from the last reduce that is needed as the input for the next map.
The intermediate data is something you (in general) do not want to keep once the pipeline has…
I am currently seeing a set of errors across my builds.
Is this expected behaviour if you loose Jenkins (say to a box crash, or a kill -9)?
Or is there something worse going on (like a bad network connection)?
The stack and error is:

I'm trying to run some funtions in the background of a PoSh script. The job never completes, but works fine when called normall. I've narrowed the problem down to the following line:

Here is my scenario: I am trying to automate some tasks using Paramiko. The tasks need to be started in this order (using the notation (host, task)): (A, 1), (B, 2), (C, 2), (A,3), (B,3) -- essentially starting servers and clients for some testing in the correct order. Further, because in the tests networking may get mucked…
Hi guys,

Hi there,

I would like to be able to interact with a Sql Server job programmatically through a web page.
What is the best way to do this? Through SMO? The job will take a long time to run, so it needs to fire and forget, and I would also like to be able to stop it.
If SMO, can anybody point me to…
