  1. Re:Dominant? on Ask Slashdot: Will Python Become The Dominant Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Pr0n is dominant in the web, then!

  2. I hope they will interfere with Italy's on Former FBI Director Predicts Russian Hackers Will Interfere With More Elections (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Currently our elections don't lead to real politics. Just politicians doing nothing and eating money. If Russians (ah, those Russians!) interfere, they will subvert such results, leading Italy to either politicians doing something and eating money or even doing some and don't eating money.
    We need your help, Putin. You are our only hope!

  3. Dominant? on Ask Slashdot: Will Python Become The Dominant Programming Language? · · Score: 2

    Please elaborate. By number of lines written? The number of programs written? The number of fortune500 choices?

  4. Possible options:
    Idiotic contractors
    Idiotic employers
    Any blend of the above

  5. Privacy first is useless if security is not brought and kept at the maximum level. Read "backdoors", "thinkos" and bugs.

  6. Finally!

  7. Someone forgot about real phones. Maybe next time, Andy. Ok?

  8. Not really from the '70s on ESR Announces The Open Sourcing Of The World's First Text Adventure (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 2
    Actually:

    This code is a forward-port of the Crowther/Woods Adventure 2.5 from 1995, last version in the main line of Colossal Cave Adventure development written by the original authors. The authors have given permission and encouragement for this release.

    For the sake of precision!

    Easy

  10. Re: I'll still use Ogg/Vorbis on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    Unluckily my car infotainment and my HiFi don't support it. Only my smartphone.

  11. Mp3 is actually dead on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    Long life to ogg!

  12. Officials Fear USA Could Try To Target Russia Thro on Officials Fear Russia Could Try To Target United States Through Kaspersky AV (go.com) · · Score: 1

    But also Windows!

  13. Agreed

  14. Re:ISPs can hinder anything. on ISPs Could Take Down Large Parts of Bitcoin Ecosystem If They Wanted To (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Why would anyone hate bitcoin?

    Maybe because it's not bank-controlled?
    Maybe because it's not government-controlled?
    Maybe because of both?

  15. ISPs can hinder anything. on ISPs Could Take Down Large Parts of Bitcoin Ecosystem If They Wanted To (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ISPs Could Take Down Large Parts of ANY Ecosystem If They Wanted To.
    They can divert or block any traffic it's flowing through.
    And there's little the users can do against it.
    So that article isn't bringing anything new!

  16. In that case an iceberg would sink. Its density is close to that of salt water, that's why it floats! Idiot!

  17. Compilers? Code refactorization? Programmers? C? on NASA Runs Competition To Help Make Old Fortran Code Faster (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not a Fortran programmer, but I know how to make some code run faster (on the very same hardware).
    One, is a better compiler with machine code optimizations that lead to (average) faster code execution.
    Two, automated source code analysis, refactorization and optimization.
    Three, hire better programmers, provided that Fortran can allow for higher effectiveness.
    Four, move to a language that can take advantage of multithreading. Like Fortran 2008+ or, better, C.

  18. And modernize the ignorance! Cool initiative, indeed.

  19. Unemployed? Retired? on US Adults Will Spend More Than Half the Day Consuming Media, Study Says (emarketer.com) · · Score: 2

    How can an employed adult spend 12 hours on media? Either they don't work yet or they don't work any more!

  20. Doctorow will be gone too on DRM Will Be Gone By 2025, Predicts Cory Doctorow (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Any prediction farther than a few years makes no sense.

  21. Deletion? On Google? on How To Delete Your Data From Google's 'My Activity' (vortex.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe you're talking about the feeling of deletion. Nothing will ever be deleted on Google. Be assured.

  22. Re: C and C++ on Slashdot Asks: What Was Your First Programming Language? (stanforddaily.com) · · Score: 1

    If you had really read my comment, I'd have known that I had not expressed any comment against C++.
    I simply prefer C and use C++ to get advantage of Wt.
    That's it.
    Of course, you can write whatever you want, accuse whoever you want for whatever programming crime you want.
    I will go on not giving it a damn!

  23. Re: C and C++ on Slashdot Asks: What Was Your First Programming Language? (stanforddaily.com) · · Score: 1

    Full controll about what? So you prefer to be unproductive like 1/3rd of the speed you have when working with C over having a high and easy productivity when working with C++? That is beyond me ....

    Sorry, your answer makes no sense. It sounds like a C++ hater who has jo idea what he is hating. But don't feel onlieged to give a more sensual answer.

    You'd better read more carefully, dude!
    I do use C++ for web applications. That's about 80% of my code.
    For tools (CLI) and server (TCP+CLI) I still prefer C as I get full control of the program with libuv (events), liblfds (containers), jemalloc (better memory management) and little more.
    As all the rest is just application logic that is more or less the same in C++ and in C.
    But, please, don't feel obliged to give more nonsensical counter-comments. I won't give those a damn!
    The language of choice, to me, is a mix of religious beliefs, comfortable usage and programming habits. But that'd be just me. Not you.

    Easy.
    1. Why not?
    2. I like full control and responsibility
    3. Why not (again)?

  25. C for servers and tools, c++ for web applications (using libwt).
    I would use C alone if there were a web framework for it.
