  1. Twitter doesn't need an edit button! on Jack Dorsey Says Twitter Needs An Edit Function (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    It already has delete... unlike Slashdot!

  2. I've been saying for a long time about autonomus t on Mining Companies Are Using Autonomous Trucks, Drills and Trains To Boost Efficiency, Reduce Employees (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We had the technology from about the seventies to have a smart grid of trains to go to multiple locations, but no one wanted to invest in infrastructure like that. If instead of a road system, you had cards guide by wire or a rail hookup, it could be fully automated already without all the tricky edge cases.

  3. Same as every year:The Bible. on What's the Best Book You Read This Year? · · Score: -1

    I'm blessed to know God is real. He wants us to be good and loving. The Bible is not just long its deep, and you can get new wisdom from it by rereading it many times. God spoke to me,"Good News" only I didn't know it was God or what Good News meant. I drove 45 minutes home in a foggy tunnel vision. I stopped at a church I was no longer attending. My dad was there, we went inside and held hands. Our arms trembled. When I asked him what,"Good News." meant, he went upstairs and brought me down a Good News Bible. There I learned God is real, and that the Bible is legit. Thanks God for making such a beautiful creation. I know God is real from miracles. Read about it here: www.goodnewsjim.com As for God. God is love. Love forms the bond of friendship and in family. Love is the most powerful thing we can experience. It is no surprise that if anything could overcome Death, it would be Love. Jesus did the ultimate act of love by dying for us when we were at our worst. Jesus opened the doors to eternal life with his ressurection showing he has power over death. Jesus loves you. Jesus is LORD! I

  4. Microsoft is positioned for success with c# on Is Microsoft 'Reaping the Rewards' From Open-Sourcing Its .NET Core? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The leading 3d engine (Unity) all the indies use is in c# for some strange reason. This gives it a special allure to a lot of game developers... so I don't see it going anywhere in the next five or ten years. It may last much longer than that too.

  5. I'm sad at Nintendo for not trying hard on Super Mario Run Is Now Available (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    On Android there is a joystick standard. Just make a deal with one of the many nintendo emulators out there, and you could port ALL your titles and charge between .99 and 4.99 and people would loooove it. The new push in Android gaming is game pad gaming. I predicted it long ago, but now it is a thing. Nintendo could also make a standardized Apple Gamepad if they ported their games with it, then everyone would adopt the standard! There is tens of millions waiting on the table for just a negotiation with an emulator, and weeks worth of interns populating and uploading games.

  6. Why work a minimum wage job after winning millions on If You Get Rich, You Won't Quit Working For Long (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It is a fun social experiment to see how many people are now suddenly nice to you.

  7. US declares the Onion an enemy of the state. on The US Government Funds A War On Online Fake News (bangordailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    In a last ditch desperate plea to the community, The Onion posts an article that the feds are coming, and they need help, but everyone just laughs at it.

  8. If this is the case, beward companies. on Uber Is About to Face a Landmark Battle in Europe (fortune.com) · · Score: 0

    Ebay will be called an auction place and have to abide by rules in every town.
    Paypal will be called a bank and have to obey laws.
    Every tech company figures they're semi avoiding laws at least cuz it is new. The motto in tech ask for forgiveness, not ask for permission. If you limit yourself, you might not ever have a good idea to make billions. I've had many ideas that turned into multimillion or multibillion dollar companies, but I didn't do them myself because I didn't have a crew to do them with. It doesn't bother me, but just reassuring that my ideas are good.

    South Korea rolled out 8000mb/s, and so has Google. In Japan, you get your first year of broadband free because competition is so much then its 12$ or 20$ a month. Same ac.

    World's fastest Geo.

    When every version has been a sieve before, even blocking one hole in the sieve makes it the most secure version. Totally insecure, but not technically lying.

    God wants us to be good and loving to everyone. This should also be done online. Encourage others and be nice to them. You might find people encouraging you back when they succeed.

  14. This is cool for more than a new space thruster! on Leaked NASA Paper Suggests The 'Impossible' EM Drive Really Does Work (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Any time we discover something that defies science we know, someone might unlock what is going on and we have a new hypothesis or law or something. It could lead into a chain reaction of discoveries, or we might make the thruster more efficient.

  15. I guess I'm an outlier on App Developers Spend Too Much Time Debugging Errors in Production Systems (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    In all my years developing apps, I only had one live bug and it was basically due to uploading the wrong version to production. Some of my apps are over 50k lines of code! Yet, I can't find anyone hiring a software engineer. Its rough to know your stuff, and hr to not be able to tell you know how to code properly.

  16. Do older programmers even need help? on Ask Slashdot: What Training Helps Older Programmers Most? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Most programmers I know can pick up a new tech in about two weeks and be average at it automatically then gain mastery of it over time. There's no need to have a tutorial because there are plenty out there already.
    Personally, I do so much hands on coding and software engineering that I forget the terminology they used in college. I know how to do the stuff, but I forget the definitions they used. Its kinda embarassing in an interview to not know what they're talking about because I forgot the word they use for something super basic. There's webpages for this too. Not to discourage you, but older programmers can train themselves in just a few days if they want to.
    Its not like older programmers today haven't been exposed to OO or something game changing. I'd even imagine older coders can pick up new techs faster than kids out of college just because of a lifetime of experience.

    Another place this will be good is in prefab double wides. If when they manufacture trailors for the middle and lower class, if they have solar preinstalled with a longer lasting roof, that could be good as long as the cost is reasonable.

  18. This is a long time coming. on Tesla Unveils Residential 'Solar Roof' With Updated Battery Storage System (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Only probs is that while everyone knew about solar roofs, one jerk patented it insuring no one would make them. Basically at this point, anything is better than regular shingles even if it doesn't make electricity. If you can find a legal way of doing solar roofs, that saves the customer every 35 years they need to replace.

  19. Whats so wrong with piracy? on Cisco Develops System To Automatically Cut-Off Pirate Video Streams (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't see anything wrong with piracy. I feel the Internet should be a giant library of information not controlled by IP hoarders. New stuff can be made on passion, crowdfunded, or other alternative money making approaches. I even wrote a book about God which God approved of by answering a prayer via instant message Read about a miracle And the first article in the book says piracy is okay!

  25. God loves you. on Religion In US 'Worth More Than Google and Apple Combined' (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Whether or not you believe in him, God loves you. Even if you hate him, God loves you.

    Jesus doesn't just tell believers to help the poor, but he also tells them not to brag on it. If you ask me, that is possibly an awful public relations move. How will people know of the good being done in God's name? God knows what he's doing though.

    Be good and loving always because Jesus died for our sins. He died for us, the least we could do is live for him.
