"When you travel the road of humility in Washington there isn't much traffic."

From the Bush funeral.

"It is incredible that with a very strong dollar and virtually no inflation, the outside world blowing up around us, Paris is burning and China way down, the Fed is even considering yet another interest rate hike. Take the Victory!"

I think in today's market, the most appropriate quote has to be from the movie Idiocracy:

"Bezos Exposes Pecker"

NY Post headline reporting Jeff Bezos' accusations against the National Enquirer, owned by American Media, run by businessman David Pecker.

The Post has no shame. During the Anthony Weiner scandal, when Obama disavowed him, the headline was “Obama beats Weiner.”

"Every kid should learn to code" Tim Cook CEO Apple

This caught my attention since my son is starting a great job doing coding next week. He has a 4 year degree but not in the computer field. He learned coding at a "boot camp". I've been told there's a demand for 7,000 more coders in just the greater Columbus, Ohio area.

billy, I love computer programming - I am wondering what the difference between programming and coding is. Perhaps they are the same. I am only proficient in 5 languages and only SQL in your list (strictly speaking, SQL is a structured query language, at least it was when I used it for retrieving info from databases.) I assume these are unique languages created for very special purposes, like writiing an APP for a cell phone.
