  1. Re:Growing pains on Twitter Will Extend Its 140 Character Limit On September 19th (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is simply the result of so-called professional management taking the reins, feeling the need to "do something" to be relevant and try to justify their extravagant compensation.

    Specifically, so-called "web" interface programming using client-side Javascript on the DOM.

  5. ...several Escherichia Coli bacteria, so I know what I'm talking about. They are really warm, gut-loving creatures. The nicest organisms you'd ever want to meet. I've also known several wrestlers, and they were all sociopathic shits.

    Yeah right, I remembered it was Christopher Reeve later, but you can't blame me for reflexing that Cartman was involved.

  8. Text is dead... on Facebook Is Wrong, Text Is Deathless (kottke.org) · · Score: 1

    ..for the illiterate. Kudos to Facebook for creating a welcoming space for the text-challenged (and Visual Basic users). They're pretty near that goal already.

    Your welcome.

  13. Just this on Trump: his hypocrisy doesn't make what he's saying any less true. And no one else running is even saying it, except Sanders--sort of.

  14. Re:The Great Equalization Begins on Laid-Off Abbott IT Workers Won't Have To Train Their Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    In my estimation you will have no problem being as productive as 6 Indian employees. The problem will be getting management to recognize it.

  19. Re:Is the news cycle the only explanation? on How Bad of a World Are We Really Living In Right Now? · · Score: 1

    Truth is, we're just a bigger bunch of pussies than ever before. Less able to cope with adversity, easily offended and frightened by the real world. Looking at the way children are still being raised, this is only going to get worse in the decades ahead.

  20. There would have to be some significant earth-orbit testing of zero-g procreation first. If not NASA, ESA, etc. to fund it, I could see a popular reality-TV show outta this. Seriously, though. What kind of bone development could you imagine for a baby born and growing up with no gravity? Go out and play, kid!

  25. Re:Interesting on You Don't Have To Be Good At Math To Learn To Code · · Score: 1

    You don't have to write a production-quality sorter for a CS class, but you ought to learn and understand the algorithms, and having to implement them is a good way of doing that.

    I've never written a compiler professionally, but what I learned by writing one for a compiler design class has had a long-term benefit. Besides taking the mystery out of programming itself, it made it easier to learn new languages, and to write some domain-specific ones of my own.
