Java Forum / General / March 2006Are you a Rockstar in Java Programming ?
This is an excellent opporunity to join the R&D centre of a Search Engine company in Bangalore, working on cutting edge technologies like "Image Processing", "Face Recognition", "Information Retrieval", "Computer Vision" etc. Position is based in Bangalore, India. Requirement: Developer / Lead Strong core java or C++ programming experience, Strong experience in Multithreading and socket programming. 5 - 8 yrs of experience, Complete Knowledge of Software Product Development Lifecycle, BE/B Tech/ ME/ M Tech/MS/ Phd from premier institutes like IIT, REC, BITs or any top University in the world. Please forward your updated profile ASAP to vani@wengerwatson.com with subject line as " Core Java". ( Please forward this mail to your friends /colleagues working in similar technology) Thanks and regards, Vani. 99454 00830 Wenger & Watson Inc.

Alternatively, because they really want to stick you with either 1) Maintaining code that someone else wrote 2) (Even worse!) supporting code that someone else wrote Okay, that's cynical. But I think that the requirement itself is a little bit useless as worded, because there are several different software methodologies. Someone who has worked in a waterfall style project might find it difficult to transition to XP, and vice versa. I do agree that having followed a product from inception to end of line, or at least end of current release cycle and beyond, gives a different perspective.

I wonder if posterity might mythologise me in India. I had a conversations with various Indians back in 1985 doing a cheerleader thing saying India would become a software giant. One of the people I talked to was the head of Tata, now a software giant. I was an expert from many miles away, so people took me much more seriously than you do now. The Indians were intent on showing me how modern they had become, e.g. a freight elevator with buttons, and melmac collections. The key for me was the keenness of people to learn and the willingness to work do do the painstaking labour-intensive work of programming for low wages.

Oh, I take you seriously enough, at least on Java issues. Your excellent website is usually the first resource I go to for information. Now, you politics on the other hand... Let's just agree to disagree, fair enough? >> I was an expert from many miles away, so people took me much more >> seriously than you do now. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Now, you politics on the other hand... Let's just agree to > disagree, fair enough? Now, why would that even be on the table for discussion? (I prefer not to know the politics of people I have to work with, and I suppose that extends to some extent to those in technical forums / mailing lists / newsgroups I frequent, because when I find out certain things about people, I tend to respect them less. There doesn't seem to be an upside to that in those environments, since I have to deal with those people regardless of my opinion.)

He asks people working on defense-related work to not use his resources, which means I always take care to check who is paying for my current gig before going to the glossary. To wit: The information on this page is for non-military use only. Military use includes use by defence contractors.

Not only do they impact using the glossary, but it's also just hard to do much at Roedy's web site or read the newsgroup too long without finding out what he thinks about the world. Not that I mind, personally... and I rather wish other people didn't either, but that's life. Incidentally, Scott's situation came up for me recently. I would never work for the military of course, but a few weeks ago I was speaking about Java to a group of people who are working on procedures for permanently disabling nuclear weapons in U.S. arsenals. One of them asked about reading little-endian data files, and I was halfway through writing down Roedy's website before I realized they are in at least a military situation, though they technically work for the Department of Energy. I don't know if Roedy would have minded in that situation or not (Roedy?), but I ended up stopping anyway. Signaturewww.designacourse.com The Easiest Way To Train Anyone... Anywhere.

I don't know if Roedy would have minded in that situation or >not (Roedy?), but I ended up stopping anyway. I am trying to reduce war. I want to reduce military spending and redirect it to making the planet a paradise for man and other species. I am not asking you to be Solomon; just use common sense interpreting my intention. I am not going to jump on you if you judge slightly differently than I would. Even if you use my code to build bigger nukes, there is nothing I can do to stop you. I have given the OK for example for the FAA to use my code. It seems the intent of the FAA is not to create misery, but to prevent planes from colliding, even though they deal with military aircraft too.

You can read little-endian data using native APIs. Just read the data into a buffer using a DataInputStream and wrap it in a ByteBuffer which is set to LITTLE_ENDIAN. Then read the data from the ByteBuffer using the ByteBuffer methods, getInt(), getFloat() etc. Pretty straight forward, I do it all the time. Much of the data we process is generated on PC hardware, so is little endian.

That, or his politics don't conflict enough with mine to draw my attention. To be honest, while I was aware of Roedy's dislike of war, I hadn't realized that you're not supposed to use his site for military projects. It's not something that affects me at the moment.
