  1. Re:Breaking out of the middle of a loop on Bad Programming Habits We Secretly Love (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of people out there who subscribe to the "single point of exit" theory, meaning all your code paths through a function should lead to the same return point.

    I am not one of those people.

  2. Re:That summary on Looking At the Hardware and Software of NASA's New Horizons (imgtec.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they forgot Bill Paxton.

  3. if you're so stupid as to leave anything remotely dangerous where a 2 year old can get to it (especially if it's in the back seat of a car with the child in the back), you should lose right to be a parent

    OK cool. Now what happens when you irresponsibly leave your handgun lying around, your toddler gets it, and accidentally shoots someone else's kid? Now your stupidity has denied someone else the right to be a parent.

  4. You mean like "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"?

  5. Re:Author is not impressive. on Why Self-Driving Cars Should Never Be Fully Autonomous (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Once their demand is met, then simple continuing research will eventually make EVERYBODY comfortable with letting the AI drive.

    For the record, as I work in the software industry, I will never be comfortable with letting the AI drive.

    Because I like to drive?

    5) We need wives and mothers. If we don't have them, we will all die of deprivation when we reach retirement age.

    Because women belong in the home, amirite?

    You do not occupy the moral high ground, and you should stop.

    Aaaaand bang goes another irony meter.

  8. Re:Step One: get out of the way on Getting More Women Coders Into Open Source · · Score: 1

    One of the things that draws me to Open Source is that the barriers to entry are absolutely fucking zero.

    Sure. As long as you don't mind putting up with a community that still thinks dick jokes are clever.

  9. Re: FUCK OFF DICE on Getting More Women Coders Into Open Source · · Score: 1

    Sound ridiculous?

    Yes. Because it is.

  10. Re:Issue is more complicated on Linux Kernel Dev Sarah Sharp Quits, Citing 'Brutal' Communications Style · · Score: 1

    The "trash talk" is par for the course and men think nothing of it.

    No it isn't, and you work in a toxic environment. Or maybe you just think it's par for the course because it's you doing the trash talking?

  11. Re:Oh, this has fail written all over on GitHub's Next Move: Turn Everybody Into a Programmer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, I'm a developer, and I neither use nor love GitHub. Sorry.

  12. Re:Gun-free zone? on 10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College · · Score: 1

    Except public schools in Oregon are not gun-free zones, due to a court ruling in 2011.

    "Notice all these shootings seem to be happening in "gun free zones"?"

    No?

    If the illegal practices are classified, then exposing them is illegal.

    Let me put it this way: What would you think if Chevrolet announced they were going to make a game console?

  16. Re:If you found it would you snitch? on VW Fiasco Puts Ethics In Engineering Under the Spotlight, CEO Steps Down · · Score: 1

    Gaming a test is not unethical.

    Yes, it is.

    If you found this kind of clever hack, would you tell?

    You bet your ass.

  17. Re:That's what Nokia, Moto, and Microsoft said on Former GM and BMW Executive Warns Apple: Your Car Will Be a "Gigantic Money Pit" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apple knows how to make computers. An iPhone is just a small computer that happens to be able to make phone calls. A car is an entirely different kettle of fish.

  18. Re:Slower, Same range, within 5 years?!? on Porsche Unveils Its First Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Except for the part where they aren't that reliable and you have to dismantle the entire rear half of the car to perform simple maintenance. Oh, and most of them are butt-ugly.

  19. Re:Slower, Same range, within 5 years?!? on Porsche Unveils Its First Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Some people will buy it simply because it says "Porsche" on the back.

    AMD was betting the farm on their manufacturers moving to 20 nm, except it didn't happen.

  21. Re:Microsoft Menus .. on The Long Reach of Windows 95 · · Score: 2

    A menu that pops on the bottom right on clicking 'START' can hardly be called UI innovation.

    Which is why MS put it on the bottom left.

  22. At $450 it would have been intriguing. At $650 it's pointless.

  23. Re:When you define anything as "cheating"... on Ashley Madison Hack Claims First Victims · · Score: 1

    If consenting adults want to have physical intimacy with someone who isn't their spouse, and everyone involved (spouse included) is okay with it, then it isn't cheating.

    And the other person that the spouse is involved with? What do you call what they're doing? Or is everyone on A-M there with the permission of their SOs?

    not everyone is that insecure in themselves or their partner

    Oh, I see. Those of us who expect our partners to not be fucking some random stranger on the side are just not as civilized. Got it.

    "OK, I added a button to go back to the previous page, and I also added buttons to go back two, three, or four pages. But since some people wouldn't want all those buttons, I added config options to enable each one of them. Oh, and the text on the buttons is also configurable, or you can set it to an image of your choice!

    Oh, and I also rearranged all the other buttons while I was at it."
