So you're saying that Java is less documented than C# and that C is more cross platform than Java?
So I'd say you either don't know Java very well or you don't know C# very well. I do both for a living and I'm telling you that their documentation is on par and their cross platform level is... well... One of them is cross platform.
Once it's not in the file anymore it's out of your attention span.
I'd be careful with such proclamations. They make you less hireable, at least in my opinion.
I'm not looking for a job, and whenever I am I do not disclose any of my online nicknames so I should be fine on that front.
Someone paid for the code, coaxed the coders to use the version control, etc. Just because it's not in a file on a filesystem in your working copy means it's out of your attention span? What are you, a drooling teenager?
Remember, you don't only code for you but for all the people that may in the future have to work with your code. And yes, in most cases that may include a drooling teenager. So if I decide to do something with my code it doesn't mean I feel it will be necessary for ME, but for the collective.
Besides, having something in front of your eyes (such as commented out code) is more likely to draw attention than a commit message 34 commits ago. So yes, even for me, it's more likely to draw attention commented out in the file than burried in git.
It is a trademark of USB. Not one USB standard has had a single speed nor has it had its speed easily recognizable from the marketing garbage spilled by the consortium. And I'm not even talking about the mess of mixing USB1 & 2 devices and hubs. USB Full Speed, Hi Speed, Low Speed... and now SuperSpeed.
To illustrate, here is an excerpt of the Wikipedia page:
High-speed USB 2.0 hubs contain devices called transaction translators that convert between high-speed USB 2.0 buses and full and low speed buses. When a high-speed USB 2.0 hub is plugged into a high-speed USB host or hub, it will operate in high-speed mode. The USB hub will then either use one transaction translator per hub to create a full/low-speed bus that is routed to all full and low speed devices on the hub, or will use one transaction translator per port to create an isolated full/low-speed bus per port on the hub.
Garbage.
They obviously HAD to do the same for USB3, for old times' sake. We will laugh about it to our grandchildren next to the fireplace. But that'll be later.
If your manager doesn't give you time for cleanup / refactoring you have another problem. I take pride in making so that my code doesn't generate a single Warning and doesn't have a single TODO I don't know why is there.
When working on old code written by someone else I apply the same policy: I leave it with no TODO nor any Warning, unless called for.
It's not very complicated really, and going through the TODO is something I do every quarter. Just because it bugs me that there are TODOs.
It all depends on how you work and how you like things. And frankly speaking, some old code commented out doesn't clutter the file for long after the 3 required seconds are spent deleting it. Specifically if the dude commenting it out did put the date at which (s)he commented it out, it takes less than 3 seconds.
Once it's not in the file anymore it's out of your attention span. Leaving the code there for a revision or two allow anyone looking into the file to be instantly aware that something has happened very recently, which is usually what the person is looking for.
Depending on your language, putting a "TODO" marker allows for easy and quick cleanup afterwards.
Send a $100 check to one of the members of an open source community and they'll be happy to fix the bug for you. Send a $100 check to anyone working at nVidia and you'll get nothing in return.
Some (most) people don't read this kind of news and don't know what they're getting into when they buy a console. If anything, it legitimize piracy because piracy becomes the only way to play your games. After the thing is cracked, who cares what DRM was there originally?
The worst of all is that once you've blown your console to bits and you buy another one, you have to buy all your games all over again. As always, this will hurt regular users and encourage piracy for people in this situation will feel entitled (rightly so IMO) to crack their console in order to play their already purchased games. And from that point on they will download torrentz instead of buying because they will hold a (legitimate IMO) grudge against SONY and their console is already cracked.
Apparently, shooting themselves in the foot feels good for them since they do it over and over again.
I think back to when I was in college, those with very strict and controlling parents usually ended up being the kids who drank heavily and skipped class and ended up having strained relations with their family. On the other hand, those with parents who were more rational and let their kids realize that staying up until 4 AM on the phone on weeknights lead to a miserable school day the next day rather than imposing a "phone curfew" ended up being more responsible.
Logic isn't your forte hmmm? What do you think might have cause those parents to be very strict and controlling? Maybe the out of line behavior of their child? Those very children drinking heavily and skipping classes might have caused their parents to be "more rational" ?
Correlation does not imply causation. All heavy smokers have yellow fingers. Yet, it's not those yellow fingers that caused them to be smokers in the first place. I know, troubling...
Exactly. And THAT should be the punishment. If someone can stay up until 5 AM playing WoW and still end up doing well in school, what's the problem? If they're tired in the morning and end up having a horrible day because of it, chances are they're going to go to bed earlier so they don't get tired.
I'll make a wild guess that you don't have many teenagers at home, except maybe yourself. Rational thinking isn't of much use with teenagers, almost by definition.
Flicker isn't what causes the headaches, or 2D would give people headaches, too. The headache is eye strain caused by your eyes trying to focus on the spot stereoscopy tells your brain the object is at, while the real focal point is the screen. Your eyes are fighting themselves. No matter what your frame rate, stereoscopic "3D" is going to give people headaches.
You are wrong. I don't feel headaches and I am most certainly not the only one. "stereoscopic "3D" is going to give people headaches" What makes you think this is universally true? In a 2D movie the problem should be the same. Yet, by watching footage in 2D we adapt to it and it feels "natural" at some point.
So we got your point, you don't like 3D. No need to overreach it by a few miles by claiming EVERYONE has a headache when it's so obviously bullshit.
They proved that they are willing to lock things down from competitors, and they are complaining that competitors lock things down from them. Don't you see a bit of double talk there? They've been acting repeatedly a lot worse than whatever Google is doing regarding their Youtube API, so they should just shut the fuck up.
Before criticizing your neighbor's lawn, mow your own.
Believe me, these people are dumb-fuck stupid. All this is a scam to try to get Google to pay for their failing business model. After all, why try to adapt if you can get your government pass a law that will pour money in your direction. Thinking about it, it is a form of twisted adaptation.

I meant (as the GP mentionned) C#, not C.

All of a sudden a new market opens for Ubuntu Mobile ;-)
Seriously, does that impact anyone? The thing is available for free anyway...
Should be:
New Sony Patent on Blocking Second-hand Games
At least this one is not a big giant and blatant lie.

The Pi is small, but still bigger than my phone. Specially with all the necessary accessories.
Why would you want to raise them from the grave? They'll be dead and buried before Ubuntu for smartphone is worth its weight in gold.
how do i set things up so that %User% is treated as being the same as Root (just with a different home folder)
That's called Windows and I thought everyone over here agreed on the fact that it's a terrible idea...
A Pi-Cluster?
Did I say anything good about Google here? Nope.
Dumbass.

MS spent more marketing dollars than all the phones they sold was worth. That may change, but at that rate it's easy to see why they are selling some.
You will certainly not fuck that up. Them, on the other hand, seem pretty intent on blowing the whole thing to bits.
Nobody's buying them, so in effect, they have nothing to lose. That's the upside of having no user-base.
Microsoft shill much eh?
They proved that they are willing to lock things down from competitors, and they are complaining that competitors lock things down from them. Don't you see a bit of double talk there? They've been acting repeatedly a lot worse than whatever Google is doing regarding their Youtube API, so they should just shut the fuck up.
