  1. Re:How about teaching the ghosts not to harm Pac-M on IBM Researchers Teach Pac-Man To Do No Harm (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Inb4 AmiMoJo:

    You just hate ghosts because they look like they're wearing burkas.

  2. Re:Nope, just simplifies optimum. Ghosts are bad. on IBM Researchers Teach Pac-Man To Do No Harm (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    They trained the AIto NOT learn the "unless you've eaten a pellet". It just does "touching ghosts is bad".

    Seems like a pretty sensible way of implementing "don't kill, but don't get killed either".

    If you did that on purpose, bravo.

    I'll call you out for being a liar, an aspie or having appalling reading comprehension.

    You can choose more than one if you like.

    Shareholder value is NOT enhanced by unethical or immoral behavior by a company or it's[sic] employees.

    It is if they don't get caught.

    Heck, it sometimes is if they *do* get caught. Naughty naughty, take a slap to wrist!

  6. I'm sure he checked the membership rosters and calculated the turnover rate, twice.

    If he says they're the same people, that's good enough for me!

  7. Old news on Samsung Says It's Working On Foldable Laptop Displays (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Foldable laptop displays have been around for twenty years. I had one.

    The tricky part is making them work again once they're unfolded.

    Well either there are two people with that name or one of us doesn't know what dyslexia is.

    P.S. I'll see your Brian Cox (fnarr fnarr) and raise you Hannah Fry gazing wistfully into the distance... though I can sort of put up with that.

    He is no better or worse then someone else but he has a soapbox

    I suspect it's empty.

    Estimate 1% annual maintenance cost

    It probably won't stay up long enough for that to be significant.

    Informative and in-depth, none of this Brian Cox gazing at the sky and breathlessly whispering about how amazing it all is.

    I know. A fucking pop star who did that song that New Labour used.

    And don't get me started about Sky At Night. The new presenter is a black woman who can't read!

    You left out the thing that the Saudi owns.

  14. Re:But is it a bad code? on SQLite Adopts 'Monastic' Code of Conduct (sqlite.org) · · Score: 1

    They certainly lack the engineering talent to create a decent browser.

  15. So far, the only solutions seem to be disabling background data, and deleting the app altogether.

    Or getting a lawyer.

    I had this happen to me a while back. Remember that update that used to fail and retry continuously? I had mobile data turned off globally and it still used it. I suspect there's a backdoor "just for testing" that all the devs are all told not to use in actual shipping code but there's always one who doesn't listen.

    I haven't been that guy, but I've cleaned up after him more than once.

    Does he pull the long hours because he's actually crap and instead of doing things once and doing them right wears out ctrl-c and ctrl-v duplicating lumps of code everywhere? And then when he needs to make a change he has to do it in 79 places and he misses one and muffs two others...

    Or does doing the long hours tire him out so that he doesn't actually think about what he's doing?
