  1. Re:Whats with the "eating" titles? on Software Is Eating the Auto Industry (strategyanalytics.com) · · Score: 1

    Betteridge's Law of Hungry Headlines?

  2. Re:Do it the other way around on Chrome Will Soon Let You Permanently Mute Websites (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. I would be hard pressed to think of more than a couple sites where I want to hear audio and none where I want it to start on it's own.

  3. Re:You can learn to make a woman happy in a month. on As Coding Boot Camps Close, the Field Faces a Reality Check (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    keeping them happy is the hard part....

  4. Re:$10 on Udemy vs $3000 Boot Camp on As Coding Boot Camps Close, the Field Faces a Reality Check (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Programmer 101 is really about training yourself. I kind of question the person that thinks paying for bootcamp is some kind of upward step....

  5. I just close tab their f them

  6. Re:Node.js sucks on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 1

    just use typescript

  7. Re:Based on my inexperienced observation... on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 1

    Just keep everyone into one version with package-lock.json file

  8. Re:Pointy-haired bosses love node.js on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 1

    Javascript has been driving most of the functional programming and high level architectures in those languages. It's possible to create crappy/toy code in any language.

  9. Re: Based on my inexperienced observation... on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 2

    I'm ready to swear allegiance, but could you change it to 'the motherland'? I think fatherland is a bit sexist.

  10. Re:Call me when I give a ... on Microsoft .NET Core 2.0 For Linux Released; Redhat Will Bundle Microsoft's .NET (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Just a guess but I bet 90% of .net code is service or web related.

  11. Re:FOMO Hate on Here's Why People Don't Buy Things With Bitcoin (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Even worse having sold it some time ago :(

  12. Re:Strikes me as having parallels with 'Apple TV' on Apple Puts Brakes on Self-driving Car Project, Report Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would Apple have any sort of advantage at all over engineers working on the same problem in the industry?

  13. Re:Transaction fees on Here's Why People Don't Buy Things With Bitcoin (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I've seen a pretty apt description that bitcoin more resembles gold in this respect. Most gold coins are uncirculated because they spent their time in a bank and not jingling around in someone's pocket. So bitcoin doesn't really help much with small or micropayments.

  14. Re:Is this across the board? on Microsoft Will Never Again Sneakily Force Windows Downloads on Users (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not sure where you are getting this from, TFA just mentions files for a new operating system. Since MS has stated there will never be a 'Windows 11' they aren't really giving up much here.

  15. Next Step on Microsoft Will Never Again Sneakily Force Windows Downloads on Users (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sue to extend this to system updates so MS is forced to restore the previous functionality that was available to users.

  16. You didn't answer my question. What feature would a consumer get excited about on a phone from the last few years? You know, something that might improve their life in some way.

  17. What's the last thing exciting that got released on a phone. When apple removed the headphone jack?

  18. Re:Smart Enough to know a bad idea on Apple Puts Brakes on Self-driving Car Project, Report Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's a bad idea on it's own but the car market is very low profit/commodity driven. Nobody gives a shit who wrote the software as long as it works.

  19. Re:let's get this straight on Wal-Mart To Enter Voice-Shopping Market Via Google Platform (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait till they start selling your information to health insurance companies

  20. Yay. Does anyone give a shit about phones any more?

  21. Executive function on Wal-Mart To Enter Voice-Shopping Market Via Google Platform (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That area in the brain where we have to plan ahead is going to shrivel away to nothing.

  22. Re:Why pay for anything? on Cord-Cutting Still Doesn't Beat the Cable Bundle (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    you can pay for HBO GO for a couple months if you want to watch GOT

  23. Re:Disingenuous Comparison on Cord-Cutting Still Doesn't Beat the Cable Bundle (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Really it's the death of push content

  24. I've been getting these voicemail transcriptions from Vonage for years, and although it screws up a lot I get the gist of what the person is saying which is enough. It's certainly better than having to call into a voicemail system.

  25. Re:Laughable Hype on Microsoft Speech Recognition Now As Accurate As Professional Transcribers (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    You should start talking with people who don't speak gibberish.
