  1. Re:I am also terrified... by Rust! on Rust Creator Graydon Hoare Says Current Software Development Practices Terrify Him (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    Haskell and C++ are actually very similar languages with wildly different syntax and defaults.

  2. Re:Good on Are Music CDs Dying? Best Buy Stops Selling CDs (complex.com) · · Score: 2

    Considering the fact that our governments eavesdrops on us and can easily steal our property, I would say that yes, privacy and ownership are an illusion. Might as well get something in return, even if it is just a music rental service.

  3. I don't trust Graydon Hoare on Rust Creator Graydon Hoare Says Current Software Development Practices Terrify Him (twitter.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a bit hard for me to trust someone whose webpage had a banner proudly suggesting voluntary human extinction to make a programming language that is more secure.

  4. At that point you already control enough land and have enough robots that you don't need consumers.

    2+2? I am not sure. Let's say this, I know an excellent mathematician, with many academic achievements, who does not remember the 1-10 multiplication table by heart. I dont think it is important to know 2+2 by heart, it is important to know what + means and what 2 means.

    How many of these require doing math in the head, in comparison to say... martial arts, or people skills.

    And why is it good to teach your kid something that can easily be done by a machine? (I can do it too btw, it's nice but not that useful)

  8. Punk failed on How DIY Rebels Are Working To Replace Tech Giants (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I hope they fare better, but don't expect it.

  9. I was sexually assaulted and unable to complain, because I'm a man.

  10. Re:It reminds me of Firefox: slow and bloated. on LibreOffice 6.0 Released: Features Superior Microsoft Office Interoperability, OpenPGP Support (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Chromium is open source and just as fast

  11. Re:Just like getting accused of "racism" in Americ on A Single Line of Computer Code Put Thousands of Innocent Turks in Jail (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Last time that I checked, nobody got sent in the US for just writing n|gger on the internet. Correct me if I am wrong.

  12. Re:I'm shocked, shocked! on 'How We Made Starship Troopers' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Batman: The Dark Knight - a movie that tells us how spying after people is good when it is done to FIGHT TERRORISM, and how we can always trust private enterprises with power to do the right thing and not abuse this survelliance technology. The whole movie tries to tell us that there are absolute good and evil, and in face absolute evil, absolute good should be allowed to violate some rights. This sounds like many right wingers I got to talk with lately.

  13. How is it that different from Linux?

  14. Capitalism needs socialism in order to avoid becoming like Somalia. The same is probably true in the other direction as well. Too bad that people that think that radicalized version of these two are silver bullets that solve everything.

  15. Re:And shit like this on Jack White Bans Cellphones At Concerts For '100% Human Experience' (nme.com) · · Score: 1

    Part of being decent is not shoving your mobile in everyone's face constantly.

  16. You should ask parent-of-parent, he is the one that insisted that "white men created the field".

    Why do people miss violence and murder?

    Why can't this be parallelized? Also, I fail to understand, for most games, for what purpose do you need to track so many things. Maybe I'm too old and I don't understand, and today's games are much more interesting and deep than they used to. Admittedly, from watching youtube videos, it doesn't look like that, but maybe I'm missing something.

  19. Re:Human experimentation. on China, Unhampered by Rules, Races Ahead in Gene-Editing Trials (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, you know what? If all the people that gave these smallpox blankets are already dead, and the country hasn't done anything wrong in hunderds of years, I think that I'm willing to let them throw the first stone anyway. (I do agree that there may other examples of shitty US morality, I just don't understand why you decided to go that far back in time).

    You conviniently forgot southern rednecks in your list of inbreeding stereotypes.

    Java, Flash, and the JS interpreter, are all forms of VMs. I don't see why java/flash are inherently more insecure than JS. Hell, I suspect that modern java, with all its revisions and safety, is likely more secure than javascript.

    It is very nice that you are showing links that say that CPU intensive game exists. None of the links explain why they're like that, whether it is graphics or whether it is necessary game logic. My question was, and remains, under what case a game really CAN'T DO WITHOUT a SINGLE high end CPU

    And why is all that javascript needed? Usually as a hacky method of writing something that could have been implemented better (improving html/css), as a way to prevent users from controlling their app (web apps), or as malware (trackers, and now apparently miners).b
