  1. Acetaminophen aka. Paracetamol on Acetaminophen Reduces Both Pain and Pleasure, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    just as an FYI for the rest of the world ...

  2. How boring on Transforming Robot Gets Stuck In Fukushima Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    and I was already thinking of the robot "mutating" and thus transforming :D

  3. Re:Yes on SpaceX To Try a First Stage Recovery Again On April 13 · · Score: 1

    but I don't have to land at kennedy ... I can just aim for any corn field which I can rent ;)

  4. Re:Any reason they are landing at sea? on SpaceX To Try a First Stage Recovery Again On April 13 · · Score: 1

    and who says they have to land east of florida?

  5. Any reason they are landing at sea? on SpaceX To Try a First Stage Recovery Again On April 13 · · Score: 1

    I would assume landing on land would be easier considering your platform does not move even if there is bad weather...

  6. Teach how to create on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce a 7-Year-Old To Programming? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, he will ask you if he is interested. Also programming is just a tool, so rather teach him how (and why) to create (in whatever way) than one specific way of creating things without a purpose.

  7. Now sum up the EU market on Stack Overflow 2015 Developer Survey Reveals Coder Stats · · Score: 1

    because seriously, thats like putting the US in based on separate states ...

  8. Reading the headline I was like on Popular Android Package Uses Just XOR -- and That's Not the Worst Part · · Score: 1

    "wow, writing the whole program as a sequence of XORs is actually pretty impressive" :D

  9. Cherry MX Board 3.0 on Ask Slashdot: Good Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    * awesome mechanical cherry keys
    * no crap like glowy keycaps and macro-keys
    * great price point (60€ or so) compared to any other keyboard with switches

  10. Re:HOWTO on How To Execute People In the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    i would upvote you, but you already have 5 points

  11. C++ def. was a very bad language on Was Linus Torvalds Right About C++ Being So Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Consider that in 2007, neither C++1 nor C++14 were out.

  12. Half the steps are useless on Why It's Almost Impossible To Teach a Robot To Do Your Laundry · · Score: 1

    I dont need the robot to pick up my laundry, I am perfectly happy with dropping the dirty stuff into a chute to the cellar where it gets processed.
    That alone eliminates steps 1-6. 7 gets drastically simplified (because your machine could just use a directly-attached big tank).

    The only non-trivial things remaining are:
    1) I do not like dryers -> air-drying is supperior, ideally, summer this should happen outside depending on weather ... so this means picking the clothes apart and figuring out how they should be hung on a line, and possibly transferring them outside (though this party could be quite simple if you put your lines on a sort of movable rack)
    2) Folding laundry afterwards (or putting it on hangers)
    3) Ideally, putting it back into my wardrobe

  13. things you wouldn't expect to hear from Microsoft on Microsoft's Goals For Their New Web Rendering Engine · · Score: 1

    Only if your view of MS is stuck in the aera of Halloween-Documents. They are doing pretty great work regarding openness and interoperability esp. since Satya took over.

  14. The beauty of small modules on Invented-Here Syndrome · · Score: 1

    Having a simple modules base that can be combined gives you the best of both worlds. You can quickly test your candidates (as they are simple) and write the code that glues them together yourself.

  15. Missed the "Games" on Can the Guitar Games Market Be Resurrected? · · Score: 1

    was seriously disappointed when opening the article

  16. Should a waiter do it? on Should a Service Robot Bring an Alcoholic a Drink? · · Score: 1

    No. Does he do it? Yes. So in practice, where's your problem?

  17. "Before they are used" on Only Twice Have Nations Banned a Weapon Before It Was Used; They May Do It Again · · Score: 1

    uuuhm, not sure about you, but I consider armed drones and gps-guided bombs killer robots ...

  18. Re:So, how much do the labels get? on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 1

    > they're just the performer

    that highly depends on whom you are listening to ... for mainstream music it is true enough though.

  19. So, how much do the labels get? on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In spotify's case we know the artists get scrap because they have shit deals with their labels and the labels keep all the money. So how does this compare to Pandora?

  20. Where's the news? on Crystal Pattern Matching Recovers Obliterated Serial Numbers From Metal · · Score: 1

    there is techniques to read pulished-out stamped numbers (eg. on car frames) since ages.

  21. Re:I fail to see the benefit on Java Vs. Node.js: Epic Battle For Dev Mindshare · · Score: 1

    "Granted, it's not a very frequent need"

    change "DB" to "Microservice" and its an extremely common use case.

  22. "java wins in libraries" on Java Vs. Node.js: Epic Battle For Dev Mindshare · · Score: 1

    well, maybe in the numbers, but def. not in the ease-of-installation ... having package managers by default is just awesome

  23. Didn't I read the same article last year? on Peak Google: The Company's Time At the Top May Be Nearing Its End · · Score: 1

    "Bla bla ... Google not interested in investors ... bla bla ... not sustainable ... bla bla ... too little monetarization ... bla bla ... I'm a money-hungry creep."

  24. Evil hackers ... right ... on New Encryption Method Fights Reverse Engineering · · Score: 1

    no text

  25. I have a smart home ... on Smart Homes Often Dumb, Never Simple · · Score: 1

    in many rooms light goes on and off automatically because I have movement sensors, which is super convenient.
