  1. Re:Might be controversial but its not bad at all on Microsoft Exec Urges Linux Developers To Try Windows 10 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows 10 might still be more productive, but it is less productive than Windows 7. With Windows 10 I've actually lost work due to it's surprise update and reboot policy (twice!). So no bathroom breaks for me during debugging sessions, and save my work like I'm working in MS Word 95 on Windows Me.

  2. Re:Looking for alternatives on Oracle Buys Dyn DNS Provider (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    (in no particular order)

    - Amazon Route 53: https://aws.amazon.com/route53...
    - Google Cloud DNS: https://cloud.google.com/dns/
    - Microsoft Azure DNS: https://azure.microsoft.com/en...

    No idea what kind of DNS functionality you need, but there are also plenty other smaller players.

  3. Livable minimum wage makes a difference on Americans Work 25% More Than Europeans, Study Finds (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The fact that a lot of people in the US have multiple jobs working many hours just to be able to buy food and pay rent is not something you should be proud of.

  4. So Oracle won on Oregon Settles $6 Billion Lawsuit Over Oracle's Botched Healthcare Website (registerguard.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    > Oregon ultimately accepted a package that included $35 million in cash payments and software licensing agreements and technical support with an estimated upfront worth of $60 million.

    Software licensing which will probably cost them more than $95 in the next few year(s) because they are not using the software according to the license.

  5. So, Google and Facebook require less external people to fix their code.

  6. Yammer on Microsoft Working On Skype Teams, Its Slack Competitor (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wasn't Yammer supposed to be a competitor for Slack? Didn't MS buy them just for that?

  7. .nl rules are more strict (as they should) on Europe's Net Neutrality Doesn't Ban BitTorrent Throttling (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Luckily the Dutch rules around neutrality are more strict. The Dutch also tried to push these same rules to be applied to the whole EU. But the corporate world convinced these "politicians" otherwise.

    In the Netherlands "zero rating" is strictly prohibited: https://www.bof.nl/2016/05/25/...

  8. No-code is bullshit on Companies Are Developing More Apps With Fewer Developers (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Just because you are not writing C or Java code does not mean your are not programming. Low-code/No-code is just new buzzwords for high level programming environments which have existed for 20+ years.
    And yes, a not of problems can be fixed by non-devs in these kind of environment basically because these problems are not really that complex but there is an enormous problem trying to explain the problem from the "business" environment to the dev environment. These low-code/no-code environment simply provide a formal method of defining the problem. And as every dev knows, a formal definition of a problem is executable (i.e. a program).

  9. Clever solutions on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Bad Programming Ideas That Work? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Clever solutions work. For now. But when they contain a bug they are a major to pain to analyze and fix, and it only gets worse once it is somebody else's clever solution.

  10. Re:I was really looking forward to it too. on No Man's Sky Launches On Steam and GOG and It's Off To A Rocky Start (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I haven't read any reviews, hardly followed the development of this game at all. The premise of the game seemed very interesting. So I bought it a few days before launch and played it yesterday evening for 5 hours straight without a single hitch.
    So I think that if you do no participate in the hype you will get a working game.

  11. Re:BS "most popualar" on The Most Popular Product Of All Time · · Score: 1

    They are also counting all models of the PlayStation as one.
    I think products like the Bible or Quran are selling way more copies. But they don't have any usable numbers.

  12. It was fixed in 5 minutes. on Vine's Source Code Was Accidentally Made Public For Five Minutes (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    It was public for a much longer, unknown time.

  13. ... or it doesn't.

    So yeah, that's a 50% chance.

  14. Re:Keep in mind where the word "sabotage" originat on Netherlands Gets First Nationwide 'Internet of Things' (phys.org) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It comes from the French language, not Dutch. The Dutch have "klompen", not "sabot".

  15. Should have become a banker on From File-Sharing To Prison: The Story of a Jailed Megaupload Programmer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ruin a lot of lives, seriously damage the global economy. It's all fine, as long as you don't make it easy for anyone to share a song or movie.

  16. Re:Laptop and tablet makers need to add a switch on Mark Zuckerberg Tapes Over His Webcam. Should You? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    My Asus EeePC laptops had a mechanical latch which simply blocked the camera: http://liliputing.com/wp-conte...
    Of course this does not silence the microphone.

  17. Changes in Steam key redemption

    A little over a year ago, we launched OAuth Steam key redemption, creating one-click Steam key redemption for games purchased through Humble Bundle. However, Steam is removing support for OAuth, so we’ll be returning to the system we used before, which requires you to manually redeem your Steam keys.

  18. I can't believe you are still using yellow stickies. I've found out that green stickies are much more secure.

  19. Just get it over with right away and add a Clippy who gives me suggestions on what to watch instead of what I really want to watch.

  20. Learn to analyze and solve problems, not to code on Apple CEO Tim Cook: I'd Require All Children To Start Coding In 4th Grade (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Software development is mostly problem analyzing and solving, not writing the instructions for the solution.
    Kids should be learned to solve "complex" logical problem, not to write code.
    The skill to analyze and solve logical problems can also be applied to other places.

  21. So, if the Java API was in the cloud then Google couldn't have stolen in?

  22. Re:Subjective on Code Quality Predicted Using Biometrics (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    While I agree that code quality is subjective, but everybody loves the simplest code required to get the job done. This simplest code will have the highest quality because it is the easiest to understand. If code is easy to understand it has a high quality.

  23. And in return they get? on Netflix and Amazon Could Face Content Quotas In Europe (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    They get EU wide license on content? Right now they have to negotiate content in every country they want to show it. This is how the old industry likes it.
    People and goods can move across borders. But movies and TV series cannot.

  24. But it doesn't on Node.js Now Runs COBOL and FORTRAN (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It just forwards code between runtimes/compilers and executes the separate process. You cannot run fortran or cobol unless you install GNU's implementations of them on your machine.

  25. I cannot subscribe to HBO on The Pirate Bay Now Blocked In Chrome, Firefox, And Safari (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    If I could subscribe to HBO I probably would, but they do not offer their service to me in the country I live in unless I also get a TV subscription.
    Just let me subscribe and watch content like Netflix lets me.
