  1. Re:Do you have a choice? on Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs (stackoverflow.blog) · · Score: 1

    4 spaces or a tab (set to indent 4 spaces) is the same thing, resulting in the same coding style no?

  2. Re:nearly impossible to anticipate? on Chess.com Has Stopped Working On 32bit iPads After the Site Hit 2^31 Game Sessions (chess.com) · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, not so hard to imagine, 20 million people playing 100 games each.

  3. "can't quickly refactor code, which is necessary" on Ask Slashdot: Will Python Become The Dominant Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    IDEs allow this, usually much quicker than by hand.

  4. Re:Of course on Theresa May Says UK Will 'Tear Up' Human Rights Laws If Needed For Terror Fight (bbc.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    fund actual police and security services that could have potentially stopped the attackers in the first place

    Ahhh, always nice to treat the symptoms and not the cause.

  5. Why would you use a tool shed instead of a hammer???

  6. No thanks, I rather be able to click once to insert an image in my to do list from my phone and have it automatically synchronized with my computer at home. I'm not stopping you from doing all those extra manual steps.

  7. Try inserting a picture in a text file.

  8. You can still measure football fields in metric.

  9. Simple solution. Move or change cities.

  10. Re:Emulating Windows 10? on A Windows 10 Alternative: Ubuntu-Based Zorin OS Linux Distro (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm curious, how does 10 seem like several steps backwards?

  11. Re:Japanese on Secret Backdoor in Some US Phones Sent Data To China (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It's North American actually.

  12. Re:Typical of today's programmer on Spotify Is Writing Massive Amounts of Junk Data To Storage Drives (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    An abstraction layer has nothing to do with an underlying library. The abstraction layer, or 2 or 3 above that underlying library still calls the same library function.

  13. Re:Typical of today's programmer on Spotify Is Writing Massive Amounts of Junk Data To Storage Drives (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What do layers of abstraction have to do with writing massive amounts of data to the storage device? It's not the layers that write the data, it's concrete code that does, irrelevant if it is behind, 0, 1 or n layers of abstraction.

  14. What can you do in Rust better (providing better solutions to common programming problems) than any other language out there?

  15. Now you are just using the semantics card.

  16. Why wouldn't websites want to benefit from data-binding? I have worked on large ERP style websites with data-binding and it does work well too.

  17. Who says we don't follow the scientific method anymore, you? Care to prove that, you know, using the scientific method?

  18. Re:Pretty pictures but... on NASA Shares Curiosity's New Mars Photos (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    Funny but derails the thread. :(

  19. Re:Pretty pictures but... on NASA Shares Curiosity's New Mars Photos (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    The Vikings missions where a bit controversial in their findings.

  20. Building 7 on Facebook Features 9/11 Conspiracy Theory as 'Trending' (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Not to put fuel in the fire but what is the official explanation for the controlled demolition style fall of building 7?

  21. Re:As stated, I don't think I believe them because on It's Official: You're Lost In a Directionless Universe (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, how do you determine the direction of the universe of where a void is?

    To my understanding, voids appear to correlate with the observed temperature of the CMB because of the Sachs–Wolfe effect. Colder regions correlate with voids and hotter regions correlate with filaments because of gravitational redshifting. What if galaxies and matter follow a gravitational path much like a meandering river follows the easiest path (in this case, the warmer path of sorts)? I'm no cosmologist or astrophysicist, just a curious mind.

  22. Re:How do I charge and use the headset? on Apple Cites 'Courage' As Reason To Remove 3.5mm Headphone Jack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You use an android.

    Ah ok, thanks for the info, I didn't even know but very interesting!

  24. Re:I used to work for a startup that did this. on Lawsuit Accuses Warriors' Mobile App of Eavesdropping On Fans -- Even When Not In Use (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not use ActivityLifeCycleCallbacks instead of the microphone to check if your app is running in the background or foreground without giving away a permission hint that you are doing this?

  25. Unique? Nope on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Java 8 Features? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    "Its unique selling point is the attention paid to every aspect of the programming language". Other languages do this so hardly unique.
