  1. Re:Ruby's Principle of Least Surprise on Ruby, Clojure, Ceylon: Same Goal, Different Results · · Score: 1

    It's trivial to decompile Java bytecode, and even decompiling machine code isn't all that hard. It really doesn't matter, just use Ruby for desktop apps if you like it.

  2. Re:But she still can... on Apple Yanks Toddler's Speech-Enabling App · · Score: 1

    But there is no court decision one way or another. It's just one company's claim about another company's product.

  3. Re:Evolutionary! on CPU Competition Heating Up In 2012? · · Score: 1

    I have the same chip in my laptop and I love it. I even get to play games, just finished DeathSpank.

  4. Re:But... but... on Facebook Announces App Center · · Score: 2

    Interesting. It worked for me.

  5. Re:I always thought on SciRuby: Science and Matrix Libraries For Ruby · · Score: 1

    You may be confusing strong typing with static typing. C is statically, weakly typed and Python is strongly, dynamically typed. PHP is weakly, dynamically typed.

  6. Re:Here's why the priates din't hurt revenues. on The Avengers: Why Pirates Failed To Prevent a Box Office Record · · Score: 1

    Some of us simply don't like theaters and prefer to watch films at home. I pay for Netflix even though it has a tiny selection. The morons are figthing to keep more things out of netflix instead of putting everything there.

  7. Re:Last I knew on Heartland Institute Learning To Troll On Billboards · · Score: 1

    Seeing as how global warming is a fact and it's quite possible that it is largely human-caused, wouldn't it be prudent to take steps to reduce activity that might have caused it?

  8. Re:Not the United States on UK Man Jailed For 'Offensive Tweets' · · Score: 0

    Except the UK has no constitution, and few protections for free speech. It can also be argued that this shouldn't be protected speech anyway.

  9. Re:How i drive on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 1

    Apparently it was mostly to avoid sheathed swords hitting the other rider's horse. Combat on streets tended to be limited to stopping thieves.

  10. Re:Can MeeGo or Tizen, save Nokia now? on Former Nokia Exec: Windows Phone Strategy Doomed · · Score: 1

    They probably avoided Android because of their irrational hatred of Linux, and the apparent endorsement of it that such an endeavour would suggest.

  11. Re:Reinveting the Wheel, Backwards on X Server Now Available For Android · · Score: 1

    OpenMoko, OLPC. Both had (and I believe still have) issues with memory usage and partial redraws.

  12. Re:Reinveting the Wheel, Backwards on X Server Now Available For Android · · Score: 2

    Actually, X11 has been tried before on mobiles and was often found lacking. Android's rendering and windowing is just better than X11.

  13. Interesting on Google Heads Up Display Coming By the End of the Year · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've often wished for a HUD to allow me to read while walking around.

    But why would this be an Android device of its own, rather than just an input/output device for my existing Android phone?

  14. Re:It shouldn't be mandatory on British Schoolchildren To Get Programming Lessons · · Score: 1

    But kids have mandatory arts for example (at least in other countries), to get them exposed to it. They don't yet know what they like.

  15. Re:Just ask a Scotsman... on New Study Concludes Math Gender Gap Is Cultural, Not Biological · · Score: 1

    In fact, it's biologically more suitable for women to wear pants and men to wear skirt-y things.

  16. AndyPad Pro on Sub-$100 Android 4.0 Tablet Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    We're using AndyPad Pros at work, and they're actually surprisingly nice for a £179 tablet.

  17. I like on Ask Slashdot: One Framework To Rule Them All? · · Score: 1

    Flask (Python), Pyramid also looks ok. Django I've come to dislike. Noir (Clojure) is also nice.

  18. Re:DOM-Interface for byte code on JavaScript JVM Runs Java · · Score: 1

    JavaScript is always minified anyway. There's a difference between development packages and distribution packages.

  19. Re:Not A New Concept on JavaScript JVM Runs Java · · Score: 2

    Even CoffeeScript is self-hosted.

  20. Why Android? on Dual-Core Android PC Now Comes On a USB Stick · · Score: 2

    This device could be much more useful if it shipped with a desktop linux distro, like Ubuntu or Fedora.

  21. Re:Backlight on Qualcomm's Butterfly Wing Display Gets Nearer · · Score: 1

    There are several devices with very good front lighting. Also, clip-on lights or things like the Kindle's cover are comfortable enough anyway.

  22. Re:It's a magnificent editor, but... on Vim Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I've started using Emacs with Evil. It's been really nice so far, any lisp, even elisp (dynamic scope, bleh) beats vimscript.

  23. Re:LISP had that 40 years ago on Microsoft Roslyn: Reinventing the Compiler As We Know It · · Score: 1

    I believe the early Java API is just a compiler front-end. One can script a compiler written in java, however. Python's ast tools are indeed complete.

  24. Re:LISP had that 40 years ago on Microsoft Roslyn: Reinventing the Compiler As We Know It · · Score: 1

    Even Java has had the compiler available as a library since the beginning. Python has good as tool too, a had for a while. Not revolutionary at all.

  25. Re:It's not a bad thing on Google Starts to Detail Dart · · Score: 1

    Just use PyPy. It's very, very fast for most things.
