At day I work as an ABAP developer in civil service.

At night I am developing a web-based MMORPG using HTML5 Javascript for the client, Java for the server and MongoDB as database backend. You can follow my progress on my development blog.

A secure system doesn't become less secure by making it easy to find. An insecure system doesn't become more secure by making it hard to find. See security through obscurity.

comment How do I get my first job at a freelancing website?
When someone can't make a website by hand, they should not pretend to be a freelance programmer.

comment Why do books say, “the compiler allocates space for variables in memory”?
That's not what this question is about.

comment Is it acceptable for child classes to “break” parent class functionality?
All functionality inherited by the base class should work as it should be expected. That's part of the principle of least surprise and important for integration with other components which are designed for working with the base class.

comment Changing the license in a fork from GPL to GPL compatible?
@TheLQ: GPL-compatible means that the license doesn't forbid anything the GPL allows, so you can relicense it as GPL. But that doesn't necessarily means that it also works in the other direction.

comment Changing the license in a fork from GPL to GPL compatible?
MIT and BSD allow to do a lot of things which GPL explicitly forbids, like forking it as a closed-source project. When you could fork a GPL project and turn it into a permissive FOSS license, it would be a massive loophole.

comment How do we avoid GPL violation when modifying and releasing a program using code coverd by this license?
@MarjanVenema There is a separate license, the GNU LGPL ("Lesser" GPL or "Library" GPL) which allows you to use unmodified code in a program released under a different license. But the normal GPL doesn't.

comment How do you handle your marginalized talent?
The believe to be much smarter than all of your coworkers is a work-related disease for programmers. Unfortunately most people are wrong about it (I am one of the few exceptions, of course).

comment NoSQL and BIG DATA
There is no such thing as NoSQL. There is just a whole bunch of new database technologies with completely different design philosophies and use cases, and all they have in common are things they also have in common with SQL. You can't evaluate "NoSQL" as a whole. You need to evaluate each database system individually.

comment which version of Windows should use I to develop an app
Keep in mind that even though VirtualBox might be free, you technically still need a license for each copy of Windows running in a VM.
