  1. Re:they run their business like a JavaScript repos on NPM Apologizes For the Way It Handled Recent Staff Layoffs (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The issue isn't that they're a Javascript company. The issue is that they have an HR consultant. HR people are bad enough, but if they're just consultants and not even a part of the company, they have no interest in doing what's best. And I suspect employers who hire HR consultants are doing so to offload the blame of firing people for no good reason.

    Brought to you by the land of the free-for-the-upper-class.

  2. By reducing the population significantly.

  3. And of course, the cure to having to learn new stuff in a language is to learn a completely different language every time. That'll teach 'em.

  4. Re:Make C++ simpler ?!? on Most Popular Programming Languages: C++ Knocks Python Out of Top Three in New Study (techrepublic.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    C++ is simpler compared to the past, you idiot. They're not saying it's the simplest language. It's still quite complex. But it's simpler than the past - and more importantly - simpler to be safer than in the past.

    People here say choose the right tool for the job. Well, C++ has the right tools for the job. You either have multiple languages for their own thing and somehow try to glue them together, or you have one big language made up of smaller languages that, if they were on their own, would be a domain specific language. And recent history shows people would prefer to have one language to work in different jobs than having to learn multiple languages and trying to join them together with pipes.

    Or... the fucking welfare system social democracies already have. But no, that's "socialism", which is "communism".

    Yeah, or one could peek back at history and consider this particular evolution could have been man-made as well. Stranger things have happened.

    “If I could take it back, I would, but there is nothing I can do,” Barriss told the court. “I am so sorry for that.”

    Uh, no, you cunt. You showed that you have no remorse throughout the whole ordeal.

    That article was discussing another publication which called it a myth. The NYTimes itself did not call it a myth.

  9. Doesn't really discredit the skepticism. on Bank of America Tech Chief Is Skeptical of Blockchain Even Though The Company Has the Most Patents For It (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you're skeptical about cryptocurrency, of course you'd invest in patenting the related tech. That way you don't take unnecessary risk on the volatility of the market, but still stand to make money if it works out in the end. You can even make money off it even if it doesn't work out, since you can always sell those patents to gullible ideologues or desperate patent trolls.

  10. Social media is "turning" people into "psychopaths". Adults who should know better believing in anything they read and then forming angry murderous mobs to carry out justice.

  11. No, you idiot. Hitting people in a riot during a protest-counter-protest is not the same level of violence as murder or mass murder.

    It's not "some violence". It's alt-right dickheads like you who try to make the two equivalent, when they're clearly not. It's a clear campaign by you nutters, like you are doing here, to make murder to be no worse than getting into fights during a riot.

  12. At this rate, Slashdot should be considered a terrorist recruiting site. So many alt-right fascists on here scaremongering about antifa when their own people are the ones committing mass murder.

    Kind of justifies antifa "violence" against people who demonstrated that they will do real harm.

    If a dog or deer ran onto the street, I would trust a computer to not panic and cause a worse accident.

  15. Ah, nothing more free than enforced politeness at the point of gun.

    Much better than having to pay taxes, which libertarian tossers like you keep telling us is also a form of violence.

    Nice to see libertarians showing their true colours once again - you only care that you get to exercise a freedom to intimidate other people. Politeness backed by threat of death. So FREE!

    Should have been automatic licence revoked.

  17. Texting has everything to do with the INCREASE of the number of times I saw a driver going through a red light because they were on the phone. Geez, idiots like you annoy me. Get it through your head when people talk about rates of something, they're not merely talking about that something happened, but how much, and how much more each time.

  18. But it's antifa who are the dangerous ones, right?

    Or may some of you will try to argue the neo-Nazi is somehow also an antifa.

    The number of times I see drivers texting while coming onto an intersection or traffic lights is staggering. These days traffic lights are no guarantee that a car will stop at a red light so you can cross the road.

    That's not true, because the most pervasive argument against systemd is hatred about Lennart Poettering's development style, and some vague handwaving about the "UNIX philosophy" to which the Linux kernel has never adhered at any stage.

  23. Viruses not the problem on Two-Thirds of Android Antivirus Apps Are Total BS (tomsguide.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Viruses haven't been a problem for a long time. Not when apps keep asking for permissions for things they shouldn't need, and trick/confuse the user into volunteering their personal data.

  24. Newsflash: we're all generally libertarians. Most people would like to do whatever they want. A dictator is just a libertarian who believes their liberty is deserved regardless of the expense to others, which is unsurprisingly also what most libertarians I've encountered online also want.

  25. What do you mean, without relying on third parties? Blockchainhyperledgerwhateveryoucallit are required to keep track of transactions, all of which must by design run by third parties. The only way you can not rely on third parties is to have your own cryptocurrency that no one uses, and given that there are more cryptocurrencies than there are countries, that's the way things are going.
