  1. Re: Good follow up to previous story. on Across the US, Popular Video Doorbells Are Recording their Own Thefts (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Aweful

  2. But, one time a boss strongly suggested we implement this on a site we were working on. I looked at him in the meeting and said, you know we can't do that, right?

  3. Obviously an ad, but, wouldn't their magic math-based testing unicorn also be subject to bugs?

  4. Interesting... on Listening To Music May Be Damaging Your Creativity (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    I absolutely can't listen to music with vocals while I code. Instrumental music however, gets me plugged in.

  5. I just can't not... on IBM's AI Loses To a Human Debater (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    A true master debater. Ugh

  6. Re: I don't believe this for a second. on Amazon's Move Off Oracle Caused Prime Day Outage in One of its Biggest Warehouses, Internal Report Says (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    They would somehow make us pay for something...

  7. Oracle is a complete nightmare. I've ported several large databases off Oracle, and have spent to many years developing using Oracle. There were constant issues with Oracle. Reliable, please. Every month we were running into open bugs and submitting issues. All while paying obscene money for the privilege to use their products

  8. Lazy vs indispensable on The Coders Programming Themselves Out of a Job (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The lazy programmer automates their job and does nothing. The indispensable programmer realizes that tasks are not the job, and finds ways to take on or manage multiple tasks that the employer may not even understand they need done until it's presented to them.

  9. A bunch of comments from Russian Trolls and Nazis. Mostly anonymous. The days, they are a changing. Shouldn't we be fighting about improper use of static variables and quationable research papers. This is absolutely nauseating.

  10. The year of the Linux desktop!

  11. Good IT work on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Government website DDOS'd itself... Also, not https Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

  12. Apple responded perfectly Apple on Slashdot Asks: How Should Apple Have Responded To the Battery Controversy? · · Score: 1

    They told their followers that it was a feature that no one else had. Offered batteries that were probably rotting in some warehouse somewhere at fire-sale prices, while probably making a profit. Than suggested that said followers get on their knees, pull down their pants, and get ready for a 14 hour x-code update that breaks everything.

  13. Amazon doesn't need USPS on Trump Wants Postal Service To Charge 'Much More' For Amazon Shipments (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    USPS was a sinking ship. Amazon took advantage of the USPS, because otherwise, what would they be delivering: Credit card offers and bills that people forgot to check off as paperless? Before they made a deal with Amazon it was a foregone conclusion that the USPS was toast. I hope they raise their prices and Amazon just moves on.

  14. I love when my boss says, "This is only going to take an hour right? it's easy... Just do some booleans and loop it with the database"

  15. The new 7 second video platform on Vine Co-Founder Dom Hofmann Says He's Working On 'a Follow-Up To Vine' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It will revolutionize the way we think about social media.

  16. Yes and no... on Learning To Code: Are We Having Fun Yet? · · Score: 1

    75 hours into a deadline week, coding is not fun. I could name every variable poop and fart, but that shit doesn't matter with your boss breathing down your neck (not to mention how pissed if I saw that during a code review). I'm not sure I'm sold on teaching through cuddly hand holding. That being said, technically I learned programming through logo writer and writing little games in basic when I was very young. Looking back, I do not think it was necessarily the content of the programming that kept me interested, but rather the self-competition of beating yourself at problem solving. Why can't kids be motivated by learning, rather than learning because they want to have fun?

  17. Worst test I have taken: on Ask Slashdot: Are Timed Coding Tests Valuable? · · Score: 1

    30 minutes to complete a complicated recursion problem. The test verbiage was purposely written in very broken English and poorly explained. I was not allowed to ask questions.

  18. Re:I agree on Critic Cites Revenge of the Sith As "Generation's Greatest Work of Art · · Score: 1

    Nope, that's expressionism.

  19. Re:Until the networks all decide to join in... on Google Develops Context-Aware Voice Search For TV · · Score: 2

    I would assume google does? Otherwise, they wouldn't do any R&D until the networks get in line. Everything stops. I think you have this backwards.

  20. (from 30 rock) on Google Develops Context-Aware Voice Search For TV · · Score: 1

    So what happens if a TV show initiates the voice recognition (says tv listen or whatever in the dialog of the show) and changes the channel on mistake, or deletes all your dvr shows....

  21. MS did this when I was in College on How Microsoft Is Wooing College Kids To Write Apps For Windows 8 · · Score: 4, Informative

    You know, 12 years ago. Not exactly new news. They gave us tons of free development software and tools. It was amazing. Most of it got re-sold on ebay to pay for beer.

  22. Great... on Why Non-Coders Shouldn't Write Code · · Score: 1

    To be honest, I can't stand looking at most of the terrible mess called "code" written by "trained developers". Maybe I'll go ask the Office Manger to write up a quick js fade-in modal system for me so I can use it for credit card payments.

  23. Feeeewwwww on US Military Tested the Effects of a Nuclear Holocaust On Beer · · Score: 2

    Thank god, that's been keeping me up at night.

  24. Re:Cavity search anyone? on Richard Branson 'Determined To Start a Population On Mars' · · Score: 1

    Just get a giant fat women suit and you will be fine.

  25. Re:To what end? on Richard Branson 'Determined To Start a Population On Mars' · · Score: 1

    Well at first it will be purely scientific, as they study the giant ancient pyramid believed to be capable of creating oxygen. But, as the population increases, it will become both a vacation destination for the adventurous and a distant life for the down and out. Obviously, from here a class system will evolve between the mutants and the 1%. Luckily, The Terminator will finally show up, in a dream, and rip shit up.
