  1. Re: works offline? on How Google's Pixel 2 'Now Playing' Song Identification Works (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It uses a microphone and analog to digital converter, there is background noise, and they don't have a known start and stop point. The incoming bitstream is not by any stretch of the imagination an invariant, so however it works "that ain't it."

  2. Maybe / Maybe Not on Intelligent People More At Risk of Mental Illness, Study Finds (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    It is probably true. OTOH maybe the mentally ill are more likely to join Mensa.

  3. Re: It’s multi-day battery life as long as i on Microsoft Teases Multi-Day Battery Life For Upcoming ARM-Powered Windows Devices (techspot.com) · · Score: 1

    That's funny. I was just thinking of asking a trick interview question the other day: "Is ARM big or little endian?" You failed it BTW.

  5. Re: Actually, moderation IS censorship on Android Oreo Helps Google's Pixel 2 Smartphones Outperform Other Android Flagships (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    ... And yet I'll still be able to read it if I so choose to do so, which would explain any downmods. You are simply asserting a falsehpod with an air of (false) authority.

  6. Re: How is it different for closed source software on Companies Overlook Risks in Open Source Software, Survey Finds (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Everything you just wrote assumed that the company will write the system from scratch rather than tweaking a FOSS system. So you are right in what you say but it has nothing to do with this subject, or how anybody does things in 2017 for that matter.

  7. Open BSD Linux ... WTF on Every Patch For 'KRACK' Wi-Fi Vulnerability Available Right Now (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I love how the section on Linux patch availability talks about one of the BSDs. Always good to hear about your mission critical patches from people who don't know the difference.

    Wow, you are one stupid motherfucker. When 12 different people write a page of a book, who owns the copyright on the page? Later dumbfuck. Better yet, stop wasting my time proving how stupid you are; I get it.

  9. I heard that too! It was right around the time I found out you were an idiotic douchebag running his mouth to try to sound important when, in fact, you have no insider information at all.

    I take it you haven't been watching the news over the course of, oh let's say ... the last 6 months?

  11. Re: Share the backend code? on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Apply For A Job When Your Code Samples Suck? · · Score: 1
    You just confirmed what I said is true and then tried to set up a strawman to make it sound like I said you specifically don't own the rights. There is no jurisdiction in the US where the legal situation defaults to "contractor owns the code". Everything you wrote is a ridiculous babble of bullshit representing an attempt to take the focus away from the fact that you made a completely false statement, and gave people shit advice, in fact. Just admit that you spouted off your mouth with inaccurate information, and that you claim to be super smart, but actually aren't, because ...

    "I'm astounded to hear so many excuses for people to just give up their rights, without even knowing what they are and how to use them."

    ... you are an idiot. Nobody is "giving up their rights." They are recognizing that they don't have the right yopu falsely claim they have. Also, I rescind the moral ambiguity with regard to you. You are clearly lacking in morals. Off you go now ...

    And whatever do, don't use the phrase "algorithm's runtime" in the interview unless it is an interview for a Punk Band with heavy Cypherpunk influences!

  13. Re: Share the backend code? on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Apply For A Job When Your Code Samples Suck? · · Score: 0

    It is not true that they don't own the code if you are a contractor unless you have that in writing. Some people think it is not moral to violate the law, so if anyone follows your advice they will be doing something that is possibly unlawful and certainly morally ambiguous at best.

  14. Re: Well, Chris, here's what you do on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Apply For A Job When Your Code Samples Suck? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    First of all don't ever make available in any way your companies code unless you have written permission to do so. Second, you simply tell them that you can't provide said code due to NDA / compliance issues. Put together some great code on your own and offer that along with your reason. You will, by doing that alone, separate yourself from the pack as a guy wgo actually understands how businesses work. Finally, that is just going to get you a code monkey job. If you want a real job there has to be documentation including requirements and design specs, as well as test methodology with implementation of same. There is more, but if you get that fat you will be so far ahead of the pack you can worry about that tomorrow, which is exacrly when you should start preparing for the next time.

    Wow, you literally have no idea what you are talking about. The government outlawed alcohol before Kesey was born, and weed as well. Blaming Kesey and Leary, suggesting that the government wouldn't ban masturbation if they could get away with that power grab, suggests a 500 microgram LSD permanent trip level of delusion on your part.

  22. I'm pretty sure that regardless of an object's shape the phrase "How else are you going to kick it if not with a foot" applies.

  23. I assume when you say "people with severe learning disabilities" you include yourself.

  24. I only read a very small section of your drivel and the answer is that the world is full of people who will never understand function derivatives no matter how hard they try, which isn't the same at all as you pretending not to be able to grasp this obvious fact.

  25. Again, you have missed the mark completely. Even if you were right to equate basic spreadsheet use to programming I assure you that the world has a very high population of people who cannot grasp the intricacies of spreadsheets. In fact I find it hard to believe that YOU can tell ME that you don't know many such people without being completely disingenuous.
