  1. Soon to be patched on Bash To Require Further Patching, As More Shellshock Holes Found · · Score: 1

    Damn straight! Mactards are still using a vulernable bash. Unlike us lunix geniuses that have patched bash 3 times in the past week and are still using a vulnerable bash!

  2. Re:Time to retire bash! on Bash To Require Further Patching, As More Shellshock Holes Found · · Score: 1

    I agree that python doesn't cut it. But node.js is a better bash than bash. We replaced all our shell scripts, perl scripts, etc with node.js a couple months ago. Since it's javascript, all our front-end developers are comfortable writing system admin utilities. And since it uses non-blocking, it's faster than bash or C. There are npm modules to do most things you need to do already.

  5. Re:Just what we needed... on A Beginner's Guide To Programming With Swift · · Score: 1

    What I find interesting is the ability to create new operators. Not just overloading existing ones, but creating new ones that affect parsing -- prefix, postfix, or infix with custom precedence and associativity.

    Custom operators can begin with one of the ASCII characters [list of punctuation dice considers junk characters], or one of the Unicode characters defined in the grammar below. After the first character, combining Unicode characters are also allowed. You can also define custom operators as a sequence of two or more dots (for example, ....). Although you can define custom operators that contain a question mark character (?), they canÃ(TM)t consist of a single question mark character only.

    If nothing else, the javascript nee ruby nee php hipsters will give some great examples of why this is a bad idea!

    Looking forward to some great fart apps written in ascii art...

  7. Yeah but does it run on on A Beginner's Guide To Programming With Swift · · Score: 2

    The 1.0 syntax was just barely frozen. There are a couple open source swift implementations (check github... you won't find them on source forge!) that are making progress. Not sure how useful it would be without a Cocoa/OpenStep library, though.

  13. I just want the new Nexus. on iPhone 6 Sales Crush Means Late-Night Waits For Some Early Adopters · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's worse than that. The original iphone was 320 x 480. They went retina by doubling it - 640 x 960. No problem, you provide 2x images, everything works great. Then the elongated it to 640 x 1136. still pretty straightforward, though, 2x images with a bit more height. You may need to adjust your layout a bit but no major problems. But now the iphone 6 is 750 x 1334 and 1080 x 1920.

    It's like they somehow decided android's fragmentation was a competitive advantage! Oh, and now you provide 3x images and they get downsampled. It will not look as good. Full stop.

    Listen Apple, you didn't build a phone that people wanted, you built a phone that the press wanted. Not because they wanted it as a phone, but because they need to write stories about something. These are the same idiots that spent 20 years calling you beleaguered and taking bets on when you would go bankrupt. A larger phone won't do shit except change the narrative from "they need to release a larger phone" to "out of ideas and copying samsung"

  18. Re:Is there any point continuing GCC's development on LLVM 3.5 Brings C++1y Improvements, Unified 64-bit ARM Backend · · Score: 0

    Do you need a metric to determine that pizza tastes better than dog shit? Take a look at the GCC codebase and take a look at the llvm/clang codebase. I don't know how anyone could dispute it. (Even if you hate C++, GCC code emulated C++ and has finally started using C++ directly). GCC intentionally fucked up their code for political reasons (to keep people from bypassing the GPL spirit). llvm/clang also have the advantage of being a newer codebase. Some of GCC's code dates back to the 80s and they assume you may be using a 1986-era SunOS k&r compiler to bootstrap it. Remember how OpenSSL has pages of #ifdefs to support Windows 2.0 or big-endian x86 (no joke)? GCC is just as bad.
