  2. The biggest obstacle.... on Apple Wants To Turn Community College Students Into App Developers (axios.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The biggest obstacle isn't learning - tutorials are everywhere.
    The real obstacle is that you need an Mac to write/compile the code.

    ... if I could cash out and not hafta work for the rest of my life.

  6. Re:Watch out for scams! on Should The Government Pay For Veterans To Attend Code Schools? (backchannel.com) · · Score: 2

    Seems to me, that's a resource allocation and management problem, that you hafta work 60+ hours per week, not that the vets can't handle it.
    On top of that, if they're being paid salary, they're making 30% less per hour than they signed up for.

  7. Maybe I'm missing something here .... on UK's Newest Tokamak Fusion Reactor Has Created Its First Plasma (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

  12. Depends on Ask Slashdot: Is Computing As Cool and Fun As It Once Was? · · Score: 1

    Depends on who your audience is.
    Kids and most adults think that game and sfx dev is still cool.
    Biz applications and 98% of web sites? No

  13. If the drones don't work out on Amazon Starts Flexing Muscle in New Space (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

  15. Penetration + Internet = Porn

  16. Re:Theranos II ? on Magic Leap Used Fake Tech Demos and Is 'Years' Behind Schedule (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Isn't it the goal to get in early, to get a good ROI, and if it fails, just write it off?

    It's a movie for chrissake, not something important!

    Geez, i remember this push for the paperless office in the early '90s. I gave up on the idea over a decade ago - and I work in web!
    Companies are still unsure about digital signatures, still like paper record, and scribbling a note on a piece of paper is sometimes a better way to make notes than to try and find a way to attach a note - much less a diagram - to an electronic document, spreadsheet or pdf

  22. Re:RIP, AKG, JBL on Samsung To Acquire Connected Car Firm Harman For $8 Billion (thestack.com) · · Score: 1
