  5. "Full stack" developer on 'The Problem With Programming and How To Fix It' (alarmingdevelopment.org) · · Score: 0

    Def: A developer who think he knows everything. He use expressions like "web scalable", "big data", "micro-services", "cloud enabled", ... in every sentences he say. He prefer using hundreds/thousands of "cloud instances" to run his new ''à la mode" social network site instead of optimizing his code. He runs everything on a NoSQL database even if it's not required because relational databases is an old technology from the last century. He is probably working on a Macbook Pro drinking a big overpriced Starbucks coffee because he's so cool... he's a Full Stack developer!

    Period.

  9. All companies producing electronics (phones, laptops, washing machine, IoT, ....) are responsible for this mess. Especially companies producing phones and other stupid "connected" IoT. They "force" consumers to change their phone/connected gadget by making it obsolete too quickly and/or preventing us to use 3rd party OS/software on it to extends device's life.

    Thailand should send back every device to the company who built it. Apple will receives thousand of containers of iPhone, MacBook, iGarbage, ...

  10. Re:Yes, get rid of old thinking on Cutting 'Old Heads' at IBM (propublica.org) · · Score: 1

    If you need 12 hours to do what other can do in 7-8 hours, maybe you should question yourself. And you probably don't have children and a wife because at this rate (12 hours a day), this is a divorce you will have to deal with and maybe a burn-out.

    It's like having a BBS with a bridge to the Internet (emails, Fidonet, ...) like we did in the 90's. :)

    Linux Mint. I used it on many computers without any problem. Running now on my Dell Precision m4800 (docking station connected to a LG 34" Ultrawide)) and Asus Zenbook 13". Everything is working fine.

    I bought my Dell Precision in october 2014 (i7-4940MX, 32GB RAM, SSD, 1TB HDD, ...) and it's running like a brand new computer. It's fast, responsive, ... I'm a software engineer and I'm running a lot of stuff on it : VM, Dockers, Java development, ... I'll never get this performance with Windows installed on it. Not on a 3 years old laptop.

  17. Only one great news... on All Major Browsers Now Support WebAssembly (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    We will be able to dump horrible Javascript language and use any other language that have a WebAssembly compiler (Python, Java, Ruby, Haskell, ...). I said the only great news because WebAssembly is just a new security nigthmare to come...

  24. Re:I don't care on Ask Slashdot: Whatever Happened To the 'Year of Linux on Desktop'? · · Score: 1

    Same for me. I use Linux on my desktop/laptop for years (I work in IT). Never had any problem with Wifi/Bluetooth/Sound card/... Now I run Linux (Mint) on my Dell Precision m4800 and my Asus Zenbook (more portable than my Dell m4800 brick) without any issues. On my Dell (i7, 32GB RAM, SSD and HD) when I rarely boot on my Windows 10 partition (to play FPS games with my son), it's sluggish and it take much more time to boot than my Linux OS.

    Like you, this setup is perfect for me. Bonus : I'm not spied by Microsoft (telemetry) and less prone to viruses, hacks, cryptoware, ...

  25. Almost there...
