  1. Swift looks like C# to me on Tim Cook: Coding Languages Were 'Too Geeky' For Students Until We Invented Swift (thestar.com) · · Score: 1

    I always thought Swift took many concepts from C#. Programming is geeky, what is the big deal?

  2. if (!x) { CallMyProcedure(); }

    There fixed that for you.

  3. How is Xamarin horrid? I's not even a language.

  4. Re:C is still king, thank Engineering Schools on C Programming Language 'Has Completed a Comeback' (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    So you are taking career advice from someone just graduating and starting his career?

  5. The Empire Strikes Back! on What Happens When States Have Their Own Net Neutrality Rules? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    The Empire State that is. ;)

  6. Then don't buy it? Simple solution.

  7. Democracy should include a test to see if you are fit to vote properly and know what parties are available. Bare minimum know what platforms they offer and such.

  8. Re:Wolff's book is a solid work... on White House Bans Use of Personal Devices From West Wing (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Really? Why is he suing? Why is he banning devices that can record stuff?

  9. Re:Monopolies gonna monopolize. on Opinion: Chrome is Turning Into the New Internet Explorer 6 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    So all sites that use react or angular for example are crappy?

  10. Re:"Water-sculpted" landscape? on Where in the World is Mars' Water? (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Your theory does not explain why the northern hemisphere has less visible craters than the bottom hemisphere. An ocean preventing impact craters would explain it pretty well.

  11. Re:Easily replaceable battery? on Apple Confirms iPhone With Older Batteries Will Take Hits On Performance (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    My GS4 is over 4 years old and nothing is missing from not having the latest OS updates.

  12. Huh? Do you really believe supercomputers running global warming simulations use up the same energy on the same scale as cryptocurrency mining???

  14. Re: Great... on Android Go Will Make the Most Basic Phones Run Smoothly (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    How is it an attempt at forced obsolescence??? Has your 4 year old phone suddenly stopped working? Is your phone suddenly missing essential features? Nope. One of the dumbest things I've heard this week.

  15. Re:You guys break me up on Trump Is Looking at Plans For a Global Network of Private Spies (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why are you bringing in the left when it has nothing to do with the article? Deflecting blame is not a valid counterpoint strategy.

  16. It sure is, it lets me pay for things and receive payments. Without it I wouldn't receive real tangible things.

    "since 2006 when the POR started using LiMux and OpenOffice, later switching to LibreOffice, that "the efficiency and productivity of the POR-supported workplaces has decreased noticeably" - referencing crashes, display and printing errors"

    Nice, they won't get those problems on windows.

    "The use of the open-source Thunderbird email client and LibreOffice suite across the council would also be phased out, in favour of using "market standard products" that offer the "highest possible compatibility" with external and internal software."

    One thing windows does well. Source: https://www.techrepublic.com/a...

  18. Re:Put ice in a glass. on Could Collapsing Antarctic Glaciers Raise Sea Levels Sooner Than Expected? (salon.com) · · Score: 2

    If you remove the weight from the ice over the land mass, it will rise up and still displace the water level.

  19. How so? .Net core is arguably faster than nodejs, it's open source and cross platform.

    "During the meeting, which Shepherd secretly recorded and provided to Global News, she was reprimanded for showing students a video of University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, who refuses to use pronouns other than “he” or “she” for transgender individuals.

    The university said showing the clip of Peterson, without denouncing it, created a toxic atmosphere for students. The meeting left Shepherd in tears."

    That is not really free speech...

  23. Re:And some evidence is just wind-sculpted on Flowing Water On Mars' Surface May Just Be Rolling Sand Instead (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that the sand rolling down hypothesis is strange because if sand does roll down and not accumulate at the bottom of the roll, where is it?

  24. Re:Meanwhile on Android... on Apple's New iPhone Built With Illegal Overtime Teen Labor (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Deflection is not a valid defense strategy.

    Agile has nothing to do with making someone finish task #1, #2 and #3 faster. Please get that out of your head. The only thing agile does is include task #1, #2 and #3 in an interation and push it to the next if they are not completed or done done like I like to call it.
