That’s the wrong way around! I have “Kein Einwurf, ausser:” (“No (mail) droping, except:”) on my mailbox. With a list of exceptions below. Which is: Only normal letters, addressed to me personally. Packets have to be handed over to me personally, since they don’t fit in. Everything else (giving them to neighbors) counts as “not delivered”, and assistance of theft by the mail man.
I hope to completely remove the mailbox in the future, and put a sign there, saying: Packets: Are to be delivered to me in person (signature-proven). Everything else: Only digitally! (Digitally signed, if needed.)
I have seen the opposite, and I can say: People, get away from the one-sidedness of “I have to follow the company’s rules and perceived ‘reality’”! Your contractor is not better than you, has not more powers or more rights! It’s all in your head! Social conditioning! Your “boss” is actually your client! He buys work from you! But when he’s a dick, he wants him to be your only client! Which is the exact same thing as a monopoly. And having only one client when you are really self-employed, is even illegal (at least here in Germany) for that very reason! (And for tax reasons.)
I recommend looking at Luxemburg in the late 90s early 00s. There it was (and perhaps still is) like opposite world. Because there were too little workers for too many jobs. (People had too much money and did not want to work the crappier jobs. where crappy is anything below banks and government.) So they finally realized, that they too can make demands from the employer (client). Since they could always just switch to another job. The result is that in Luxemburg, being an employee has lots of “unusual” benefits. Like even the father being able to take a year off (paid!) to care for his newborn child. (And it’s sickening that we see it as something bad, to care for our own children, instead of running in the hamster wheel of pointless money making.)
Fact is, that you decide your own worth with what you say no to! If you always say yes, you are going to get buttraped for all your energy. It’s the exact same thing with getting a girlfriend. The nice ones (the yes sayers) won’t get a girl, because they can’t show that they are valuable and not free. In your job it’s the same thing: Stand by your reality, what you do, what you not do, and how much it costs. And even if you don’t believe me: For bosses and girls it is fact, that that will make them want you MORE! It’s the difference between an alpha male and a beta male. Sadly, most geeks got socially conditioned into the beta drawer since school, and did never realize that they could just change who they are.
Man, this is so deeply deeply wrong on so many levels, that I can’t even begin to desribe it!
A browser scripting language becoming assempler?? What’s next? I can’t even think of something, perverse enough to beat that! Why not just simulate a CPU on X, where X = a simulated CPU on X, until all your resources are used up?
Enough with porting everything to the browser! It is idiocy of the highest order! Learn your inner platform anti-pattern!
You say that as if it were something good. Look what “any idiot can...” did to non-strict (X)HTML! It is not good. It is the very reason we hat all those stupid crappy Flash intros in the first place.
An idiot should not be able to write a website! Not even the simplest one! Then we would not have had that mess that is the current browser engines!
No. What you don’t understand, is the inner platform anti-pattern! Or would it make sense to you, to boot Linux inside that browser thing, start a virtual machine in it, boot windows 7 in that, install CygWin, run Emacs, simulate a CPU in it, run OS X on that, start safari, and play quake 2 at 1 frame per week?
Yes, it is good to be able to do it without Flash. But you are thinking inside a teeny-tiny box! You got the ability to run Quake 2 without Flash since Quake 2 exists, because you can run it straight on your CPU! No browser needed! And the OS is mainly a set of libraries that would have to be included anyway, so no pointless inner platform.
Because that is really the key point: This demo is using a crappy replica of the environment it is using. This is also, why template languages, like TypoScript, in web programming are deeply wrong.
No. That dosen’t mean that all abstractions are bad. It means that pointless and bad abstractions are bad.
Actually, if you look at smaller data sets (regional ones), and data from other job sites that have language categories, you will notice, that Java tops out even C by a good bit.
As far as I know, pretty much every “enterprise” server software still in written in Java, and hence the developer base is gigantic. I mean just look at the job offers. 9 out of 10 say Java, the last time I looked.
What is he talking about?? Does he even know anything about what he is supposed to manage?
This is actually not very realistic. A experienced cop will tell you that sometimes you fire half a dozen rounds into someone, and he still walks right at you. You can easily survive a gun wound with some pain killers for the rest of the mission, and then have a medic fix you afterwards. Especially in a high-tech world with nanites and everything.
Have you tried Arma 2 or Operation Flashpoint. If you like realism, those are the perfect games for you. But of course, them being just as frustrating as suddenly becoming a soldier in the real world, the question is, if they are still games, or rather simulations.
I don’t get it... how is a piece of paper powerful to keep freedom, that is already imaginary anyway?
Remember that there always were constitution-like basic laws in countries. Even in germany before the Nazis.
If there are no people with power to back it up, it’s worth nothing. But if there are those people, they can just as much back their wishes up without a piece of paper.
I would have made the guy a friend, and in a not watched moment, put a USB stick in the computer, waited a few seconds for autostart to plant the stuff, pull it out, and be done with it!
On the other hand, I wouldn’t have tried to get a women that way anyway! How delusional can one be? You know what they say: The cure for one-itis, is FTAG(N): Fuck / Flirt with Ten Other Girls (NOW)! ^^* Or in other words: She is not special! EVER! Period.:)
P.S.: Now you know what was meant, when someone said “Cthulhu FTAGN”! ^^
Depends on what you mean. But for dislocated joints, they are perfect. What I mean are those things, where they practically do a quick jerk that moves everything in place again. It’s obvious that this is no quackery, as it is the obvious solution to the problem. And then just learned how to do it properly.
You go there, and the explanation not to be surprised takes longer than the few seconds the action does, and you are done! Nothing beats that!:)
Of course some other parts of what they do are a bit... vague... And homeopathy is just plain proven bullshit.
Have you even seen the “specification” that MS tried to make a standard. It’s a horribly convoluted mess, that can only be described as an upside-down pyramid of always patching new stuff onto the old framework, while never doing a needed complete re-design. Like Windows ME.
Hey Microsoft! If there are more bugs than features in your file format, maybe you should do a re-design, hm?;)
And I’m still quite amused by the current generation, who never planted and hunted and butchered their own food, never built their own house and car, and wouldn’t survive a day in the wilderness.;)
Times have changed. I designed my own tiny computer, and did a lot of system programming in the days before graphics, sound and chipset drivers. But there is an ideal in programming: Don”t re-invent the wheel! There is no point in writing your own standard library, if you already have a perfectly good one that it very mature and optimized. The same thing is true for building your own computer. You can still improve things, if you want or need to. You can still learn all the internals, to achieve that.
But it does not make you a bit better, to keep re-inventing your wheel and learn things that you don’t need. Because without doing that, we have time to learn more high-level and advanced things, making us orders of magnitudes more efficient and hence faster. That there are idiots out there, who think HTML is a programming language, and are too lazy to learn those more advanced things, is a different topic.
I, for one, prefer to learn and be able to use Haskell and GHC with its ultra-advanced concepts, to writing stupid repetitive error-prone routines for a boot loader or on a BASIC interpreter.
They still do their little rallies here (Germany) too. But people are so left-extremist, that a 100 people “rally” causes a 5000 people counter-rally, half the city closed off by police, TV trucks from everywhere, and all the newspapers putting it on their front page. I’ve seen it myself, since I lived on the street where the rally went trough.
It was so ridiculous. There were more cops than right(-winger)s (what we call Nazis in PC speak). They practically surrounded them for protection from the bigger counter-rally extremists. (Who interestingly are just as extreme, and ever wear the same punk clothing style.)
That’s why I say that they learned NOTHING at all from back then. They still are a lot of blind idiots in rage, following the next loud dick. Just that now it’s a left-wing one instead of a right-wing one.
Me, looking like a obvious foreigner, was perhaps the one who was the coolest about it. I say, if we don’t allow free speech to ALL extreme views of our society, then we have no real free speech at all! It’s just SPEECH, dammit! Just speech! Yes, that means that I am OK with someone who says that he would love to see me die, as long as he doesn’t do it. Hell, I would probably say the same to him too. So what? It’s so childish. Blind. And stupid.

I hear you. But wait until someone ported Chrome to Chrome! They may ask Xzibit on how to do it. ^^
Sup dawg, I herd u liek innr platformz, so we put a browser in yo browser, so yo can waste resources, while wasting resources!

Well, seems that if you don’t have the brains...

Portage is even more advanced. And I don’t even talk about Paludis.
I don’t get why people still love to live in dependency hell (or DLL hell)...
But RPM still gets you into dependency hell! The same problem as DLL hell under Windows. Just shifted.
Why choose such an outdated old crappy system?
They should have used paludis at the core, and set a GUI on top of it.
to the OS infrastructure up to the middleware layer
It’s called libraries and demons! “middleware layer”... shit like that word could only come from a manager with no technical knowledge whatsoever.
