The chair of my Computer Science department told my class in lecture that memory management is worthless these days, and that you no longer have to worry about the size of your program or the amount of memory it uses. I stopped giving a shit about my CS program immediately after and began to focus entirely on Electrical Engineering.
Don't blame the discipline. Blame the dumbass CS chair. Try embedded development. All of a sudden you need to worry about resources again!
That's how a friend's father, an eye surgeon, put it.
It doesn't always go right, and (yes, rarely) it goes very wrong. There are no take-backs with the laser surgeries.
If you must, do the surgery that is reversible - they insert a small piece of plastic that corrects the lens shape.
My opthamolagist relative also says this, so for now I have listened. Maybe in another 10 or so years when I'm not so professionally tied to looking at screens all day and...
Am I only one who doesn't think this is all that impressive? A manned ship surviving, yes, a stationary building surviving yes, but a unmanned sealed drone that has no problem being submerged in the water with nothing to collide against it without need to stay upright? I could achieve similar results as this drone by putting some gear in a steel container and letting throwing it out to sea. Its other purposes aside "shrugging" off a storm of any size should be trivial for such an object.
Well, James Gosling was mentioned, so that's pretty impressive, right?
So are you a Senior Citizen, a North Carolinian or a Senior North Carolina Citizen?
Resident of NC, and I only drive like a senior citizen when I text, drink, and give the finger to the cops (simultaneously, because I'm a reeeaally good driver).
It'd be even better if we could put them into 'Senior Citizen' mode, where they randomly speed up and slow down, and change lanes without signalling.
Also known as 'North Carolina' mode. I live in North Carolina and that is how otherwise normal people drive here. They also drive 75 mph through construction zones.

If you don't like the way I drive, do yer fancy construction somewhere else! Besides, with those hardhats the workers bounce harmlessly off my windshield.
No, clearly not a total waste. They got *several* publications out of this work I'm sure!... and did you hear where they are having the conference next year? Somewhere exotic I think.
I see the plot of a new Micheal Bay (or maybe J.J. Abrams) movie: The US military, unable to get qualified recruits to fight the new Zombie wars, takes a cue from the Zombie playbook and develops the technology to bring life old soldiers. After a bit of a difficult start, the program exceeds all expectations until the previously dead soldiers revolt at being put back in the grave and bring Washington to it's knees by filing for Social Security benefits.
Well, as long as they vote Democrat I'm cool with it.
UFOs, Bigfoot, Ghosts!
You would think the modern age of cameras in everyone's phones would produce evidence-a-plenty of these kinds of things.
But reality is far less interesting than we want it to be...
No magic, no supernatural stuff --- and sadly no bigfoots or aliens that bother to come here and snatch cows.
Actually, my ability to keep a job AND read/. is magical bordering on supernatural. Now if you'll excuse me, I have internets to troll...
If you aren't happy with the current features of a smart watches then sit down and make your own, that's what I did, so instead of complaining I just solved my own issue.
That's what I did too, years ago!... but it really weighs heavily on my neck.
.. Jones, the guy we let go last month. He's pretty much to blame for all build fails for the next few weeks. Then we can start blaming the marketing dept.
Because subs have tight clausterphobic environments, a need for constant quiet, severe rationing, constant work to keep sailors busy, and a chain of command to shit all over you.
Clearly they're just too nice an environment to count.
Speaking of which, 31 days is a lot of shit. I hope they have perfected the stench solutions by now...

95% of CS grads spend their carrier banging out boring code. Accept it.
"no carrier"
Difference is the "real" ones have beards and wear suspenders.
Kids these days with their "showers" and "grooming" and "social media" and whatnot... Where's the *science*?

Then again, my sis already had it done.
Or just not quite as dense as we thought.
They are brown and emit noxious gasses, duh.
Don't mind me, just feeding my inner troll...

So the forward speed with all legs functioning is 0.25m/s, and with one leg broken it is 0.27m/s.
Therefore, if a robot chases you, do NOT break its leg, because that only makes it chase you even faster!
It only gets worse once the scary violin music starts...

It can't detect a total waste of money.

I couldn't play the audio. I demand a refund!

I avoided the military and so got no medals. I didn't get shot either, so on balance I consider that a win.
There should be a new medal for this, clearly. The Army Avoidance Cross we can call it. I'm writing my Congressman...
I will piss in my gas tank at each rest stop, providing ample ammonia for my journey.
I will be publishing my own fecal matter soon. Pre-order yours today!

I once saw people competing in a hot-dog eating contest being referred to as athletes. That was about a decade ago, and the last time I watched ESPN.
There is hope for me still in the pro's!
I want a mobile version for my bicycle, so that people, you know, will want to kill me all the time.
FTFY :-)

He'd have been compelled to or otherwise coerced into killing himself.
Well, don't you get to give up a pinky finger for your first offense? Bonus points if you do it by yourself? Extra bonus for a dull knife.
.. worked for me.
When did womyn become wimmin? Is wimminz still the plural?
No, bitchez is the plural. (DISCLAIMER for the humor impaired: I'm joking, OK? Now make me a sammich. Damn, did it again..)
