    Good thing too. If he'd been a bit more punctual the Germans might be running Europe now.

    Er, wait...

  3. Re:I actually remember those early Unix days. on New Video Peeks 'Inside the Head' of Perl Creator Larry Wall (infoq.com) · · Score: 1

    I would learn awk, but I know it'll lead to me hitting myself in the face going "Why oh why did you do that with sed?!?!".

  4. Re: How's that Perl 6 going? on New Video Peeks 'Inside the Head' of Perl Creator Larry Wall (infoq.com) · · Score: 1

    Perl might look like a drunken cat ran across your keyboard, but at least it's visible.

  7. Re:AI and automation has been good thing so far on Tim O'Reilly: Don't Fear AI, Fear Ourselves (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    If people work less because machines do all the work, that means more spare time for the people.

    Or it means more spare (or if you prefer, superfluous) people for the ruling class.

  8. Re:Oh good grief on New Open Source 3D Printer Can Print Without Human Intervention (autodrop3d.com) · · Score: 1

    Not only that, it's open source 3d printing!

  11. Re:because it was not in Alfred Nobel's will on Why Is There No Nobel Prize In Technology? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    He has been dead LONG since he wrote that will, and a dead person can't hold perpetual interest in things.

    Call on line 1. From the vatican or something.

    I guess your mom was reading it out to you and censored the "short for shitcan" bit because it's not suitable language for a five-year-old.

    But domination by the cites is undemocratic, even if 90% of the people live in them! Farmers farmers farmers!

  15. Re:Calling Captain Renault on Kaspersky Lab Denies Involvement in Russian Hack of NSA Contractor (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm shocked to see them denying it. Russians are honourable people. If they'd done it, they'd admit it.

    You're clearly a communist Hillarytard. GP is clearly right.

    Look at Trump. Look what a smart decision he made when he chose his parents.

    It sounds like an HR buzzword. "Oh, we're just concentrating jobs ...."

    It's a valid meaning. Concentration, as in ~ camp.

    In the past infant mortality was double what it is now and if you got rust in a cut you'd probably die.

  22. Re:"UI fails to even attempt to communicate..." on iOS 11's Misleading 'Off-ish' Setting For Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is Bad for User Security (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    If an indicator is three-state it should be obvious by looking at it.

    And it should be obvious by the first touch on it at the very latest what those states are.

    If you're practising "form follows function" that is - not the other way round.

  23. Re:Does turning off the device work? on iOS 11's Misleading 'Off-ish' Setting For Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is Bad for User Security (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    That's smart. Almost as smart as having a master control in your house - a circuit breaker, say, or a stopcock - that governs almost all the electric sockets and taps.

    But that's OK. There's another one that actually does turn everything off. It's in a basement with a sign saying "beware of the leopard" on it.

  24. The issue is less that it doesn't do what it says (because it really doesn't say anything)

    What, there's just a naked checkbox in an unlabelled window?

    In any case, if it doesn't even drop a cryptic hint about what it does then the sensible thing is surely to do nothing?

  25. Apple's moto

    Wrong. It was Motorola's.
