  1. I had no problems as well, only one reboot. Maybe you are holding it wrong?

  2. Re: No wonder it costs so much to save the Zuck's on Facebook Admits To Tracking Users, Non-Users Off-Site (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    That would be King of Upper Canada and King of Lower Canada if some people here had their way.

  3. That is why folks you don't put IDs as urls for something like this.

  4. Re:This is where Canada is going? on 19-Year-Old Archivist Charged For Downloading Freedom-of-Information Releases (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Why would Canada revoke his citizenship? Where would they send him? Antarctica? An oil rig in international waters? The ISS?

  5. What bloating from Win10 makes it less performant? I'm curious.

  6. Re:Agile takes a rare group on Survey Finds 'Agile' Competency Is Rare In Organizations (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Your team is pointless if it takes that long, agile/scrum is an easy concept. We use it for our big projects and everything is fine. The only thing that irks me is people use poker points in hours and not complexity.

  7. "I'm not that familiar with Android" on New Navigation App 'Live Roads' Promises 1.5m-Accuracy With Standard Cellphone Hardware (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Idiot, an app is an app, no matter the platform. The added bonus with android is you probably have a back button!

  8. What does it offer others don't? on Can Ruby Survive Another 25 Years? (techradar.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm curious, never used the Ruby ecosystem, what does it offer that others don't? If nothing, isn't it normal to go the way of the Dodo?

  9. My understanding is it should be more on Center of the Milky Way Has Thousands of Black Holes, Study Shows (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't it be more? What is the percentage of stars that produce a black hole at their deaths? Shouldn't our galaxy have thousands and thousands (or more) out of billions of star deaths?

  10. Coding is still writing after all... on Ask Slashdot: Should Coding Exams Be Given on Paper? · · Score: 1

    If you know how to code properly...why do you care about the medium used to do so? Writing stuff down actually forces you not to use shortcuts and demonstrates your actual knowledge. Suck it up! :)

  11. 1984 was never translated in Mandarin/Cantonese? on Jaywalkers Under Surveillance In China Will Soon Be Punished Via Text Messages (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess 1984 was never translated in Mandarin/Cantonese/Hunanese?

  12. Re:This will be a good thing on Oracle Releases Java 10, Promises Much Faster Release Schedule (adtmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Explain why C#/.Net isn't a viable alternative? With the open source .net core on its way, things are very interesting.

  13. Re:6 Months? on Oracle Releases Java 10, Promises Much Faster Release Schedule (adtmag.com) · · Score: 0

    Wrong, why would I need to declare a class for a one time use in the same context? I had to do something similar just this week, create an anonymous object comprising of 2 fields from a class that had 10+ more but didn't need them.

  14. Re:6 Months? on Oracle Releases Java 10, Promises Much Faster Release Schedule (adtmag.com) · · Score: 0

    Speak for yourself. It is not an item for lazy coders, if I can write less code, the better. Having to write twice in most cases the type to declare a variable, it's so antiquated! The compiler already knows the type, and so should you! You should already be writing clean code anyways, method names should be concise and clear.

  15. The real problem is social media itself...your efforts are very noble and valiant, but ultimately useless. Like evolution, the prey/predator will always evolve to outwit the predator/prey. The good news is that extinction for both is not a tragedy, but instead a necessity!

  16. What did you expect? on Hackers Are So Fed Up With Twitter Bots They're Hunting Them Down Themselves (theintercept.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Social platforms that promote popularity (and even pay for it) will always have actors that will try and profit from it in any way possible. Heck I even coded a Twitter bot to try and build up followers once as an experiment, I actually posted a quote of the day, image of the day, joke of the day, so it wasn't that evil of a bot.

    Social media is a social deconstruct, hopefully it dies sooner than later and spares humanity more grief. You reap what you sow right?

  17. Ah Heretic and Hexen, I loved those games!

  18. Re:And get rid of java and other popups fer reelzi on End of Flash? Its Usage Among Chrome Users Has Declined From 80% in 2014 to Under 8% as of Early 2018 (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Huh? How is Javascript a java implementation?

  19. Impossible. You cannot effectively build .net stuff in eclipse. I'm actually using VS 2017 Enterprise, Android Studio (latest version) and Eclipse (Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2)) professionally and ecplise is the worst. 4+ times slower to load up, very laggy, feels like I have to wait to do stuff all the time. Us devs have windows server 2012 machines, so we have more than enough RAM + CPU.

  20. Re:What apps are preventing Linux desktop adoption on Ask Slashdot: Could Linux Ever Become Fully Compatible With Windows and Mac Software? · · Score: 1

    Visual Studio Code, not Visual Studio, two different things.

  21. Please find me the equivalent of Visual Studio for Linux.

    "But the HomePod appears to need contact with the surface that it's on to resonate and create the powerful bass."

    Use a coaster you say? I think I'll replace my picture under the "fanboi" definition in the dictionary with yours.

  23. Since when does the left want to destroy science?

  24. Re:How odd, 'cuz our PS4 sucks. on Sony's PlayStation 4 Has Nearly Outsold the PlayStation 3 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    My PS4 works fine. Maybe it's operator error x 2.

  25. Of course I know Xamarin uses C#, I have 3 apps on the app store. Except I use mvvmcross, nobody should be using Xamarin.Forms, you can't replicate all native UI elements yet. And no, Xamarin is not comparable to Iconic, ReactiveNative or any other JS framework, server side is not comparable to client side.
