100% CPU usage and it appears their support forums don't contain much support even though this issue has been going for a while and a bunch of other issues.
It made me want to shoot a panda in the face...
Then they had the audacity to send me survey spam asking me about my experience...booooyyyyy was that fun.
Completely agree. Better yet introduce trial periods and reviews so that everyone understands that membership is not guaranteed and something to be respected/valued and help reduce feelings of self entitlement. And as much as they are not special snowflakes this problem is not either. I mean if you let in candidates unfiltered into your workplace what exactly do you think will happen? Be aware that many people are not very good at rating their own abilities or contributions and generally live in a self absorbed bubble which may have a highly variable relationship to the real world. (this can include the hirers/firers.)
Be warned that introducing any system of "hiring and firing" is VERY hard to get right (research says most people are terrible at it) and can be abused. Also, just because someone is a great team member, it does not automatically follow that they will make great recruitment decisions.
Its tough.
This is just how the human race is. Deal with it or live in a cave, those are your choices.
PS: The cave thing was a joke...they will come find you regardless.
You are completely missing the point here troll. You arrogant assumption is that watches are for keeping time. PATHETIC. You show your lack of class with every word.
They are most certainly NOT. If I want to know the time, I will ask some gimp like you.
They are for:
- "Reading the time" at the appropriate moment to show a new acquaintance how wealthy and fashionable you are.
- Indicate to ladies that they too could have such expensive gifts if they sleep with you. (lol - yeah right!!)
- Making other people like yourself but less wealthy jealous.
- A conversation piece - although make sure you PRETEND not to care how good it is why showing it off.
- Striking poses involving your wrist near you head for that glamour photo. (this is no joke and requires hours of practice in front of a mirror)
You watch does not even need batteries or be wound to do these thing!?
So you see how pathetic you are?
"Watches are for reading the time". PLLEEEEAAASSSSEEE....
Students from a uni? You can guess what language. Almost certainly C# or java.
Not that I OR ANYONE ELSE should rate languages based on the number of lines of code.
While Java IS verbose it is also tends to be very clear, readable and obvious comparatively which helps on many fronts.(to play devil's advocate - I am fully aware of Java's deficiencies) What you SHOULD measure is the time required to write, refactor and maintain that codebase using typical tools for a typical codebase using freely available libraries. I would pit java against any language on that front although I doubt it would be the overall top.
There are also the Java based variants now (e.g. the scripting ones) which help with that also. An experienced java developer (for example) rarely writes all of the code in a class as the IDE helps.
But this always needs to be coupled with library support. Yes coding in XXX language may be more efficient in terms of lines of code. But what about the support/community? Do you have access to 1000 upon 1000 of mature OS libraries again with vibrant communities? So your language requires 1/2 the lines of code, you will have to end up writing and maintaining 100x(+) the code if there is no community to back it up.
This is has been the true strength of Java for the last 10 years. It will die one day but this the thing that will keep it going long after "better" alternatives become mature.
Very much so. But lets be serious people. Money is serious business to be treated seriously by serious people.
"...Bank of Canada executives are urging.. " Oh canada, listen to your financial betters! Stop an absolutely awesome currency-wide joke because they say so for no really good reason. Yes, THIS is how the world should be run, without humour of any sort.
"may reduce effectiveness of the security features or worse, the money may not be accepted."
Oh yes, be afraid Canada, VERY afraid. Authoritarians love to tell you how to act and when that fails attempt to bully and scare you into doing what they want - no matter how ridiculous they sound while doing so.
For most software projects maintainability is THE most important thing for TCO (over 90% as per the article) and thus the MOST important thing. Also I find it hard to believe for your average "REAL" project (i.e. far more than 4.5k of code) changeability and maintainability are not intertwined. Any study arguing otherwise needs it methodology closely inspected.
Technical Debt is real, obvious and accumulates exponentially with the amount of code involved over time. This is what we are talking about here when we talking about being able to change it and maintain it. There is lots of research on this and any experienced enterprise developer will have seen this in action.
MAJOR problems with this study:
- They used Students. If you don't know why this is bad there is no hope for you.
- 4500 is barely a code base at in the real world.
- Debt accumulation is worst over long periods of time and many iterations/changes. This is not commented on at all when describing the example. (NB: From my speed read)
So take this all with a grain of salt. This is a very limited academic paper and not at all definitive or real world applicable in of itself...
This is just what I call "coward talk". As long as you are a complete coward who takes no risks you can happily proclaim how much better you are than everyone else when their risks result in failure. Oh how much smarter you are than them you decided to stay home and eat chips rather than be so foolish!
BULLSHIT.
Take risks. Calculated risks you can handle, but risks nonetheless. Kickstarter is not just crowd funding, its a form of crowd venture capital. (without the concrete shares - more emotional ones) If you don't understand how this sort of venture capital works...STFU.
With a different team this could have worked and it could have been great as has been the case for 1000s of KS projects. (no point listing them, they are all over the news)
Without people like this the world stagnates.
Shame on whoever modded this rubbish up!
If you live in fear you will live a very small life.
Absolutely. Tell lots of high profile people who loose lips. Hey, tell your favorite prostitute while you are at it!
Blab about it on the internet on a very popular website also. That will increase your chances of being personally identified before you notify the appropriate people and ensure that the preemptive action they will take against you will not work. Alternatively they can also use that against you after the fact instead/as well.
I would also suggest as "icing on the cake" to paint red circles of decreasing size around you anus to make targeting easier.
Alternatively you could ignore the truly SHITTY advice here on slashdot and be discrete and anonymous.
I agree. For the most part this is an article written to people who don't read these articles and being read by people who don't need to read it.
The average knuckle dragging simian could not care less about any of this. They are just cattle chewing their consumer cud and waiting to be milked as per usual.
For the rest I bet that while most are on the "privacy bandwagon" very few of them take all the steps required to ensure their privacy.To me this does not mean that the system is wrong, just that people don't care about this as much as they make out...or at least as much as reported anyway.
I tend to look to actions, not words, when trying to discover what is going on in someone's brain jelly.
Slashdot Mirror
Agree.
I installed it after reading it was good.
HOLY CRAP WAS THAT A MISTAKE.
100% CPU usage and it appears their support forums don't contain much support even though this issue has been going for a while and a bunch of other issues.

Then they had the audacity to send me survey spam asking me about my experience...booooyyyyy was that fun.
And they are all called 'Gordon'?
I even used quotes around the term but he still didn't get it.
The irony of his post is not lost...
And eventually you will have a form of government.
;)
They work really well, just look around the world.
You're fired.
See how that works?
Its called reality. Teams don't form themselves under any conditions, they need good people and/or good organizers.
You speak like you have no idea what you are talking about.
And I was referring to a metaphorical firing.
Completely agree.

"Watches are for reading the time". PLLEEEEAAASSSSEEE....
Nah. Its probably a lot better but I am just too fat and lazy to move clients...
;)
JK.
I switched to http://www.qbittorrent.org/ a while ago.
Kicks uTorrent's butt in every way.
If you are too lazy to switch to a better client after it becomes rubbish then YOU are the problem, not them.
Choice is only meaningful if you can and will exercise it....
PS: And don't you oppress me!!!
PS: That was a monty python quote. I would not expect you to get that considering how far over your head my other post flew...
You are being a dick.
I never said I was repressed - I am not even from Canada.
I was quite obviously parodying the impotent message from the self important executives.
Why do I have to explain this? Oh right....troll....
Students from a uni?

IOW: BoC executives should STFU.
Thanks for that irrelevant and very retarded comment.
I am completely in awe of your obvious level of experience and wisdom in this area...
The summary is badly worded with a weird bias.
For most software projects maintainability is THE most important thing for TCO (over 90% as per the article) and thus the MOST important thing.

True, but he will probably be modded "insightful" in a few minutes anyway....
Stop being a dick.
.NET is your computer running?
How many versions of
Versions 2, 3, 4, 4.5 are all still in common usage.
Meh...WHY DO I BOTHER POSTING. Its like a drug that makes you feel shit but somehow you cannot help yourself...much like smoking I guess.
How is this insightful?
This is just what I call "coward talk". As long as you are a complete coward who takes no risks you can happily proclaim how much better you are than everyone else when their risks result in failure.

Actually that came up in the spell checker when I mistyped it and I was tempted.
Of course it ruins the metaphor since I am the buggaree, not the buggerer.
I would rather be a free weasel than an imprisoned, anonymous pauper.
Yeah yeah yeah.
I actually meant concrete. Possibly excrete.
But thanks for being discreet.
Having sex with a spy is on my bucket list.
Although knowing my luck it will be a forced anal invasion in Guantanamo...but beggars can't be choosers I guess...
