  1. Premise is wrong on The Challenge of Cross-Language Interoperability · · Score: 1

    "You can no longer expect a nontrivial application to be written in a single language." ... that hugely depends on your definition of "nontrivial", but generally: yes, I can expect that and see no counter-indication for it.

    The only exception is to have a kind of "core framework" which can be scripted and has an embedded interpreter (eg. python or similar), but that scripting language is then not a first-class-citizen on equal footing with the rest of the program, but a sort of "slave system" (does that make any sense?).

  2. Does not address the real problem on Bursting the Filter Bubble · · Score: 2

    Using a tool means that you are already aware of the problem. Lets suffice to say: most people are not, and also may even feel content in their bubble. And that's the real problem.

  3. Re:Black what? on Ask Slashdot: Top Black Friday Tech Picks? · · Score: 1

    amazon.de only knows of cyber monday (week)

  4. Black what? on Ask Slashdot: Top Black Friday Tech Picks? · · Score: 1

  5. Re:I will spend thanksgiving with my co-workers to on 23% of IT Workers Spend Thanksgiving With Coworkers · · Score: 1

  6. And yet he is a scientist and not a banker on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 1

    something tells me the test is not quite 100% accurate

  7. Episode so/so, Smith sucked on Happy 50th Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    I am so happy he is being replaced. Imo he is the worst of the new doctors yet (and clara is very two-dimensional as well).
    The episode was so/so ... good idea, but so many stupid catchphrases that make no sense except being there for the sake of being there.

  8. How fast does resistance fade again? on Imagining the Post-Antibiotic Future · · Score: 1

    I imagine once a bacterium is immune to some antibiotic and we stop using it, the immunity will gradually fade again until the antibiotic is effective again (as immunity may cost something and is not of any other advantage evolutionary). So did anyone ever conduct tests on this?

  9. Why Are Sales Still Low? on Electric Cars: Drivers Love 'Em, So Why Are Sales Still Low? · · Score: 1

    uuuhm ... you did check the price, right?
    Because for many people it is easier to spend some 20k on a regular car and then 60k in gasoline over x years instead of 80k at once...

  10. Re:An example to follow on Norway's Army Battles Global Warming By Going Vegetarian · · Score: 1

    thats also meat

  11. Old news on The Second Operating System Hiding In Every Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    remember c3 talks about spy software on sim cards already years ago

  12. Dont want to be drunk, I want the taste! on Scientist Seeks Investment For "Alcohol Substitute" · · Score: 2

    What I'd really need is a prefect replication of beer and whine without alcohol ... I love the taste but personally dont care about the alcohol much.

  13. Re:Nothing for me... on Credit Card Numbers Still Google-able · · Score: 2

    link or it did not happen ;)

  14. Re:Nothing for me... on Credit Card Numbers Still Google-able · · Score: 1

  16. Or just buy a reference one ... on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 1

    Nexus 4tw!

  17. Problem could be requirements on Stolen Adobe Passwords Were Encrypted, Not Hashed · · Score: 1

    because knowing that hashing would be more secure does not help you shit if management decides that they have the requirement to giving telephone support and being able to read passwords back to certain vip customers ...

  18. Like netbanking in the early 2000s on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 1

    I remember my netbanking _required_ a hidden java plugin until around 5 or so years ago, probably for the same reason.

  19. Re:SAP on How Elon Musk Approaches IT At Tesla · · Score: 1

    "Scheußliche Anwenderprogramme", now with correct spelling

  20. Considering most business meetings are useless ... on 20-Somethings Think It's OK To Text and Answer Calls In Business Meetings · · Score: 1

    I dont see much harm in reading texts (calls is a different topic as it disturbs the other people)

  21. Re:lenght of index finger tip ... on Why NASA Launched Millions of Tiny Copper Wires In Orbit · · Score: 1

    Outlaws all Navis and probably 90% of the cars (considering they have a all-purpose info display)

  24. And I always thought ... on Why Is Broadband More Expensive In the US Than Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    free markets regulate themselves when left to their own devices *schadenfreude*

  25. That's the least interesting one, here's the rest on Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth Wins Austria's Big Brother Award · · Score: 1

    Much more interesting are the ones in politics (eg. because of the completely absent reaction to the NSA scandal).
