  1. Did I hit the wrong site? /. gets more like /b/ every day.

    Sad.

    On topic:

    Want to organize? Go for it.

    Using the company email system to foment strikes or walk outs? You should be fired on the spot.

  2. Re:After many delays on Hubble Space Telescope Will Last Through the Mid-2020s, Report Says (space.com) · · Score: 1

    I fear the Webb will get out to the lagrange point and either fail to deploy correctly or just die.

    That beast is SO COMPLICATED they can't even get the deployment to work right in testing.

  3. 4G is generally faster than most "Free" wifi.

    Go sit in your car and watch pr0n. Just try not to get hot latte in your lap.

  4. Playing With Fire on How Biologists Are Creating Life-like Cells From Scratch (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

  5. The comments in this thread are HILARIOUS.

    Lib types, falling all over themselves trying to avoid the ugly truth...Trump is GOOD for the economy.

    Sorry, but Obama = record unemployment.

    Trump = inverse unemployment, for the first time since they've been keeping track.

  6. THIS TIME...it HAS TO BE TRUE! on Ukraine Hacker Cooperating With FBI In Russia Probe, Says Report (thehill.com) · · Score: 0

    I mean, the NYT has been right with 100% of the Russia stuff so far, right?

    Every single week, usually every single day, another Russia story, and they have ALL turned out to be true, right?

    And EVERYBODY knows how much Ukrainians LOVE Russia, right?

    Muh Russia.

    Muh Russia.

    Muh Russia...
     

  7. Star Trek was PC before there was a PC on 'Star Trek: Discovery' Gets September Premiere Date On CBS & CBS All Access, Season 1 Split In Two (deadline.com) · · Score: 1

    So, I'll give the new trek a shot.

    The trailers do look good, movie quality even.

    Actually though, The Orville looks just as good.

    THAT I want to see.

  8. Serious Question on Interviews: Ask Martin Shkreli a Question · · Score: 1

    Were you born without a soul, or did you lose it in a deal with a well dressed gentleman with horns and a tail?

  9. In case you don't know by now... on Apple Logs Your iMessage Contacts - And May Share Them With Police: The Intercept · · Score: 0

    ...if YOU don't encrypt it, it is NOT encrypted.

    That goes for metadata, too.

  10. Re:Overpriced+vaporware on Raspberry Pi Passes 10M Sales Mark (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I like my Banana Pi, the SATA is nice, and the board is a bit faster than my Raspberry Pi 2+

    However, I would prefer USB 3.0

  11. Unbeatable on Japan Plans To Build Unmanned Fighter Jets (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Without a pilot, a drone fighter will be unbeatable, except by other drones.

    The limitations will then be the HARDWARE, not the pilot.

  12. Re:Building roof before foundation on Playing Politics With Agile Projects (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    We sent to three week sprints, to allow extra time for QA.

    Which means we cram even MORE CODE onto QA the last few days...

  13. Re:MAKE UP YOUR MINDS on Playing Politics With Agile Projects (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is why the good Lord made laptops.

    Hackaday is not going to read itself, and I have beer serving devices and homemade vacuum tubes to construct.

    Plus, webcomics.

  14. Agile = Lazy on Playing Politics With Agile Projects (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Agile was conceived as a method for managers to get more work out of developers for less money.

    However, as most manglement techniques are, Agile has been turned on it's head, and is now a method for lazy developers to do LESS work, while completing more BS "tasks", then blame the "Team" when shit doesn't get done.

  15. Subspace Signal on Alien 'Wow!' Signal Could Be Explained After Almost 40 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was a subspace signal from a starship.

    The signal was at the far end of subspace radio range, and had fallen in energy state until it was readable in the RF spectrum.

    The starship was moving, and only in range for a few seconds.

    Duh.

  17. Re:Banana Pi or Raspberry Pi? on Raspberry Pi 3 Rolls Out With Faster CPU, On-Board Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth · · Score: 2

    Banana Pi has SATA built in, and is faster.

    Though, it is a bit trickier to code for.

  18. Based on the track record of this administration, this means they are pushing full speed ahead on weak and backdoored encryption, but want the spotlight taken off of it. This will probably be a "SURPRISE" executive order.

    Ars tore that goof a new one.

    Only HERE would his silly drivel be taken seriously.

    I think he has been chugging too much soy.

    Women are already dwarfing men in enrollment and graduation rates in colleges. I guess this is just sealing the deal. Fuck men.

    Can you provide some statistics as to exactly what fields they are graduating in?

    I would be willing to bet STEM fields are very far down the list.

    As to your last statement, it is kind of hard to tell if you are suffer from misandry, or are just horny.

    Sure call my sexist, misogynist, whatever.

    OK, so your "whatever" is sexist and mysogynist, but what should we call it?

  22. I don't see this working on WA Gov. Sides With Microsoft: Philanthropy-Funded K-12 CS Education Now the Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Females simply don't seem to like software development work much.

    Female developers tend to move away from development into project management, as soon as they can.

    Sure call my sexist, misogynist, whatever. I've been a developer for over 25 years, and am just reporting what I have seen.

    At least this won't take too much in the way of tax dollars.

    Not collections.

    Challenge it. I MAKE THEM explain every line item, especially if I think it's bullshit.

    I've made them write off bills because they refused to explain charges.

  25. Re:If money can commit crimes on Update: No Personhood for Chimps Yet · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how one monkey eating another might be affected by a ruling about chimps. It does beg the question about one chimp eating another though!
