Start small. This is what I do - Drink a large glass of water as soon as I sit at my desk. This forces me to pee within 45-60 minutes. When I go to the bathroom, I ensure I do 20 squats before coming out. Sometimes I do 10 lunges on each leg. Takes about 2-3 minutes. Back to my desk and take another gulp. Repeat!

Delete From "APCRoleTableColumn" Where "ColumnName" Not In (Select SC.column_name From (SELECT SC.column_name, SC.table_name FROM information_schema.columns SC where SC.table_schema = 'public') SC, "APCRoleTable" RT Where SC.table_name = RT."TableName" and RT."TableName" = "APCRoleTableColumn"."TableName");

I know this is not an optimized SQL. But this takes about 5 seconds in Postgre while the same command runs in milliseconds in MSSQL Server. The APCRoleTableColumn has only about 5000 records. The above query is to delete all columns not present in the schema from the APCRoleTableColumn table

I used to be a heavy MSSQL user. I do love Postgre and have switched over to using it in all my projects and am not looking back. I wish it was as performant as MSSQL. This is just one example. I can list a number of others too.

What I'm really looking for is a H Series processor with a 14" screen. I want to replace my desktop with a laptop, hooked on to dual monitors. So I don't even need a Ultra HD screen. A laptop helps on the rare occasions I want to travel. But all the manufacturers seem to brand laptops with H Series processors as gaming machines and have a 15.6 inch screen minimum.

I'm 43 years, Indian and have never had a problem squatting. Was surprised this is such a tough thing to do for some. I work sitting on a chair for 8-10 hours everyday, but ensure I take a squat break every 1 hour or so. To make it a habit, I take every opportunity to squat, when I have my green tea, play with my son, watch TV. It does feel great after squatting for 3-4 minutes. I also workout in the gym and perform 4-5 sets of squats with 30Kgs.

I read this yesterday - “Every joint in our body has synovial fluid in it. This is the oil in our body that provides nutrition to the cartilage. Two things are required to produce that fluid: movement and compression. So if a joint doesn’t go through its full range—if the hips and knees never go past 90 degrees—the body says ‘I’m not being used’ and starts to degenerate and stops the production of synovial fluid.”

Let alone using CSS Grid. Here in India, I can't even use Flexbox. Thanks to UC Browser having a 30% market share. Sigh, back to those IE 6 days.

I just returned to India after working in the US for one year. I find it extremely difficult to believe such a culture can exist in the country let alone an organization. People there were friendly, extremely polite and well mannered. I never once faced any incidents or racism or hatred in my work place and out. I can't imagine things like this even in my wildest dreams.

-Chauvinistic, racist and homophobic attitudes were far too normal

-It was normal for guys to openly refer to attractive female colleagues as sluts

-They had private chats where guys wrote sexual fantasy stories about female colleagues and supervisors where they performed all sorts of demeaning acts on the women

Also the fact that she talks about driver compensation makes it look like it was an article written just to smear Uber. I may be wrong though, but really, really hard to believe.

Edit: She refused to meet Freda Kapor (see comments in post) makes it all the more suspicious.

I always use a tab and set the IDE to show two spaces for each tab. Visual Studio has a setting for this. In the same project if someone wants 4, they can just change it to 4 spaces. In the file, its always stored as a tab

With 8 years of experience, you should be able to get a H1B. Every 3 years of experience adds 1 year to your education. You need 16 years of education to get a H1B. I too do not have a degree and managed to get a H1B. The challenge is to get through the lottery.

However, as many others have suggested, I too would recommend you to try another country, where visa rules are relaxed.

I have been trying intermittent fasting for the past three weeks - finish my dinner by 7 and breakfast the next day at 11 or 12. Initially it was difficult, but you get used to it quite fast. One thing I have noticed is my afternoon drowsiness has completely disappeared. I used to feel extremely lethargic and just couldn't put my mind to anything. Now I'm completely alert and my productivity has increased dramatically.

Surface 3 Update 12 years ago

OTOH, I really wish they released a Service Pack 2 for Windows 7. It takes over 4 hours to download and install all the updates since SP1. I understand they want all of us to upgrade to Windows 8, but not at the cost of making existing user's life difficult

Overtime, its not the language you code that matters. Application architecture, design, database skills etc do. All this comes from experience, building large applications. I understand you may not have the opportunity in your current company to build those. You can start building small projects in your personal time.

You are just 1.5 years in the industry. Taking such risks early is not advisable. Don't be impatient, keep learning. For example, you can redesign and build the 10 year old sites in a new language or in Java itself.

No it makes a lot of sense in a number of situations today especially with ajax and dynamically updating web pages. I have a web application where users navigate to, lets say, invoices through a tree structure of Accounts -> Packages -> Invoices. Clicking on edit of the Invoice opens a new webpage. If they click the back button, users see the list of accounts all collapsed and will have to perform search, and navigate down again to the account. In this instance users have specifically asked me to open the edits in a new window.

In a few cases, I have edits open in the same tab as a popup, but in a number of instances that is not possible for pages with a lot of functionality/fields.

I'm a programmer from India. Here its more of quantity vs quality. We have a ton of programmers, but really small number of good ones. Most of us come into this field not for the love of programming, but for an "onsite opportunity".
