  1. How Do You Read Code? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I can't. My code is in Perl.

  2. At least the French Legal System seems Fair on Google Spared $1.3 Billion Tax Bill With Victory In French Court (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Other countries would have pushed/had the legal system in a way to get the billions...

  3. ...he used to be an "ordinary" person as well.

  4. "Symantec fails to properly validate certificates" on Symantec Explores Selling Web Certificates Business (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Symantec certificate validation was also developed by the famous symantec anti-virus team. One certificate validation required one day CPU of a whole data center. So they decided to lighten the process.

  5. Google still programs in Python? on After Go, Developers Are Now Building AI To Beat Us at Soccer (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Python is 50 times slower than C++, but Python also allows to write in an easier way algorithms that are exponentially faster. O( n ) >> O( 50 log (n)) ..

  6. The best soccer predictions so far ... on After Go, Developers Are Now Building AI To Beat Us at Soccer (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    were made by an octopus.

  7. Here's the code:

    if (in_posession_of_ball && opposition_near) { take_a_dive_but_pretend_you_were_fouled(); }

    Fixed your code:

    while (FIFA_stubbornly_reject_video_control()) {
    ...
    }

  8. Here's the code:

    if (in_posession_of_ball && opposition_near) { take_a_dive_but_pretend_you_were_fouled(); }

    Correct. But the function name would be in Italian, though.

  9. Re:Seems to be getting worse on Opinion: Google Unleashes Terrible New Update For Google News Upon the Net · · Score: 1

    Just re-looked at it and noticed when I drag my cursor into a subject frame all the links brighten, very disconcerting.

    Actually I like it. That emphasizes the links related to the current subject, and that you may not click only on one link, but several are available. Better imo.

  10. Re:Probably a Compromised Linux Server on 32TB of Windows 10 Internal Builds, Core Source Code Leak Online (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    And after digging deep into the 32 TB, what when they finally find out that the innermost GB is a Linux kernel...

  11. Really hope Win 10 pure source code is way less than 1 TB, or that system is even more crappy than I thought, reusing old code as is, putting bandage on it to get something runable.

  12. Re:CEO is available... on Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Has Resigned Due To Investor Pressure (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    With Marissa Meyers leaving Yahoo, and being a female, she'd be the perfect candidate to be the CEO of Uber. Besides Uber uses Gmail.

    Mayer was paid a total of $239 million when she was terminated at Yahoo. She has enough now and doesn't need to be fired from Uber yet.

  13. In 40 years....

    1. People will work 50-60 hours a week if they want a job. 2. Most other people will work at call, via apps that will post x number of people needed for said task. It will be cheap work. No benefits.

    That's a mistake to extrapolate linearly based on the recent past years. The trend is more communication and more attention to people. The current situation buried in the old system (eg Trump) is only a trampoline to access a complete new society (universal income is one example). Will take less than 15 years imho.

  14. Re:Not true (for the US) on Jack Ma: In 30 Years People Will Work Four Hours a Day and Maybe Four Days a Week (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    yes, but have you noticed that America is better off than Europe? Ever wonder why that is?

    Better? US of A is a big country and that has many advantages. Just for Europe to be (more) unified...

  15. Re:That poor man! on Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Has Resigned Due To Investor Pressure (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Well, it's probably undisclosed but leaving while being the co-creator of Uber, he has and got enough money not to have to work anymore for a few generations. If he does something, that's for the challenge (a bit like Trump)

  16. Re:Planned obsolescence on The Size of iPhone's Top Apps Has Increased by 1,000% in Four Years (sensortower.com) · · Score: 1

    Only in third world countries like the US do you have locked phones.

    In Japan also...

  17. using 5 third party Swift libraries puts you at almost a gig of storage just from Swift.

    Isn't that lib space used once only for all apps, i.e. another app using the same 3rd party lib will not add another 180MB?

  18. At least... on You Can't Open the Microsoft Surface Laptop Without Literally Destroying It (vice.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    must be waterproof!

  19. Re:"Tesla and Newton were celibate" on The Quirky Habits of Certified Science Geniuses (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Nothing- just the idea that if someone is celibate they must be a repressed gay is ridiculous.

    Not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if they were gay at the time, they couldn't have talked openly about it, and therefore this is a possibility to be considered.

  20. Re:"Tesla and Newton were celibate" on The Quirky Habits of Certified Science Geniuses (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it so hard to believe people can just be celibate?

    what would be the problem (now) if they were gay (at the time)?

    ...at a time one cannot say to actually be gay...

    "Just" deep q learning? Vs a more classical resolution scheme... Well, Pac Man is funnier than Go, but the challenge is very different.

    Of course Google just a few weeks ago made a lot of buzz with AlphaGo ; *This* is an amazing achievement. And MS had to catch up! But Ms PM compared to AlphaGo ... well, not comparable.

    That really says a *lot* about the quality of today's movies.

    That also says a lot about /. readers.
