  1. Re: Fully agree on Learn To Code, It's More Important Than English as a Second Language, Says Apple CEO (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There isn't a professional with any significant amount of experience in the field who doesn't know that many, many people are not able to competently do our job, because we have worked with many of them. You wouldn't complain if we said not everyone can be a doctor or a physicist, but coding? Anyone can do that! It's easy. The fact you think we need studies to show that such an idea is ludicrous makes you one of the people unqualified for the job.

  2. Because we understand how technology works, and realize that firmware "always listening" isn't the same as Google servers "always listening." Also, you know those automatic faucet controls in the public bathroom? They are always watching!

  3. You mean one who will hire a ditch digger? You obviously have zero clue about how actual construction work is done.

  4. I hope nobody ever invents named variables and functions!

  5. I ls -l to learn permissions

  6. Do you want to know why the last one soundo absurd. Because you have adadvanced a false equivalence. House maintenance == Install, configure and remove apps, etc. Software Development == House *design*

  7. I still see people at construction sites, in ditches, with shovels, in the USA, quite often. And it actually pays quite well compared to other menial labor positions.

    There is nothing funny about this; it is 100% insightful. Cool should stick to what he understands. The minute people start spouting this "everyone should know how to code" bullshit, or start talking about computer languages as options to human ones, they immediately identify themselves who don't have the slightest clue about software.

    They definitely do this, and it is the wording they are using to obfuscate this. I haven't looked at what their claim is word for word, having cancelled the FB I created when urged to by a friend and ultimately concluding that it is eroding the fabric of society, but DO know they used where I have been and others have been as one vector. They also lol at if I have someone's number and that number is in someone else's phone. I'm sure they correlate many other details as well, but location is absolutely used. My guess is they are saying "It's not used for "Friend" requests, just to suggest people you may know. Sure there is a button for you to request they be your friend, but that's different. You are initiating the request.

    It's much simpler than that. It's called location services. "I don't know them Facebook!" Really, because you spend time about once a week with them in the same hotel room.

  11. Trump is more about forcing things to be "pubically" available.

  12. You don't know any actual liberals then. Calling someone a liberal, or oneself a liberal, doesn't make it so.

  13. So many ironies in your post. First there is the "look, I know an irrelevant fact" knowlege as a virtue signaling, which you then elaborate upon by showing your complete ignorance of the phrases semantic structure, which only exists in deference to the fact that all Nazi were not up on their grammar. Finally you falsely assert that wanting to read English that hasn't been butchered is virtue signalling. +4 Unmitigated Irony

  14. Exactly how does that change anything, and also the whole point. The provider doesn't want to get hacked. If they do they want to be able to do a post mortem. If they hack the website they by definition hack the provider, and the website as an attack vector for privilege escalation. I love how I was modded down and you were nodded up. Welcome to Slashdot - Millennial Edition, where facts are bad if they don't feel good.

  15. Yep, they would throw security right out the window. Another brilliant post.

  16. Yep ... they are seeking public information, which is why the need dreamhost to provide it through a warrant. Brilliant post.

    Clearly the word popularize doesn't mean what you think it means. And no, it wasn't a commonly used word in the early 80s. You are simply full of shit.

    Many of us enjoy not reading your drivel. Anything you can do to help with that would be greatly appreciated. Jealous much?

    Also, while he didn't invent the term, it is universally agreed that he popularized the term "cyberspace."
