  1. Re:Not being PHP on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 1

    From the very beginning, .NET was made for brownfield app development - never for speed. .NET has large dominance and is promoted by Microsoft because it wins over the windows platform.

  2. Re:Venn diagrams on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 1

    What is art? If I live by that principle, I'll never write a line.

  3. Re:THE CORRECT LOOPING on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 1

    Assembly inlining is good if you're writing 'clever' (DO NOT WRITE CLEVER CODE) code.

  4. Re:a few heuristics on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 1

    Good code doesn't have a single goddamn class named "Manager".

    ..but it does have main()

  5. Re:Good code on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 1

    Mathematics and calculus have given us many tools (domain and range calling back) to know for a fact whether something will work or not. That being said, most errors occur from the human side of things, although, technically, we could prove that code worked w/out having to provide real world data.

  6. "Good" on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 0

    is a sense that "experts" (10,000+ hrs of experience) acquire, much like good design, only applied to something textual. Sometimes, you just need to look at the code from a different perspective (UML helps, so does explaining to an XP partner).

  7. When there's a 3rd, unknown party... on Germanwings Plane Crash Was No Accident · · Score: 1

    ...this happens.

  8. Re:Free as in on Pixar Releases Free Version of RenderMan · · Score: 3, Informative

    The free version is limited in that it cannot be connected to other renderman nodes - no networked rendering

  9. Re:PHP is fine on Modern PHP: New Features and Good Practices · · Score: 1

    VHDL.

    Wow. Unlike PHP, Perl, C, C++, C#, Pascal, and ECMAScript, VHDL's got a whole new paradigm.

    the code is elegant and easy to understand as well. Just like every other language

    Maybe I need to learn a new language.

  11. Mt. Sharp on The First Billion-Pixel Mosaic of Mars · · Score: 1

    What a cool name. Wish I lived there.

  12. Dumb Terminal on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Laptop To Support Physics Research? · · Score: 1

    Get a good space on E3, then get a chromebook or some dumb terminal to act as the end machine.

  13. I was going to do that! on GCHQ Builds a Raspberry Pi Super Computer Cluster · · Score: 1

    Now I know that I'm generating good ideas.

  14. Not the best on 3 Million Strong RAMNIT Botnet Taken Down · · Score: 1

    Conficker was 25 million strong in its good days before the Conficker Cabal took it down.

  15. Lord of all Hackers on FBI Offers $3 Million Reward For Russian Hacker · · Score: 1

    FBI walks into hacker's hideout. "It's Gameover, Zeus," says the lead agent to a scrawny man sitting at a dumb terminal.

  17. Re:Pointless on Privacy: the 21st Century's Newest Luxury Item · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of people in government who believe that having corporations be allowed to collect, use, share, sell, and otherwise exploit every piece of information about you is somehow a good thing.

  19. Re:was just going to Facebook to post about this! on Privacy: the 21st Century's Newest Luxury Item · · Score: 1

    Speaking of FB's example, my personal opinion is that mass data collection is not wrong; humanizing data about real people's emotion and then profiting from this is wrong.

  20. Re:Sort of puts the lie on Privacy: the 21st Century's Newest Luxury Item · · Score: 1

    'Privacy' and 'secrecy' are not the same

  21. Re:Yes we should but... on Should We Really Try To Teach Everyone To Code? · · Score: 1
    Abstraction. (mental patterns) I need to get to NYC's GCS
    • (1) I can take the bus
    • (2) I can walk
    • (3) I can take the subway

    Obviously, (2) is bad if you don't... most people already know this, but cannot communicate this to a programmer when asked for 'specs'
