  1. As a 15 year .NET veteran I call bullshit on VB.NET being so popular. Nobody uses VB.NET and .NET developers laugh at you if you do.

  2. Re:Fuck me. on Crytek Shows 4K 30 FPS Ray Tracing On Non-RTX AMD and NVIDIA GPUs (techspot.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was super excited to play 4K the day I bought my shinny new 4K TV. But since then I have chosen 1080P over 4K on both my GTX 1080 and my PS4 Pro as the frame rate is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy more important than resolution.

  3. So don't over use it on Bacteria Discovered In Irish Soil Kills Four Drug-Resistant Superbugs (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    How long until there is resistant to the new super antibiotic?

  4. Re:is an crime to just leave cash at an cashless p on Philadelphia Bans Cashless Stores (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A restaurant told a group of us the other day that they had a one bill per table policy and didn't want to split the bill. We all said we don't want to cover the whole bill. Split the bill or we walk, they split the bill. A restaurant cannot force you to cover someone else's order, they also can't say you have a debt with them and are going to refuse your legal tender.

  5. It is the anti vaxxer tards, not the illegals.

  6. Remember the good old days on State of Emergency Declared in Washington State Over Measles Outbreak (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    when child mortality was 66%, only one in three children got to see their 5th birthday? The problem is that these idiots are not old enough to remember polo and iron lungs.

  7. Elon Musk said he would like to die on Mars, just not on impact.

  8. I wouldn't let him use my phone. on Why Free Software Evangelist Richard Stallman is Haunted by Stalin's Dream (factordaily.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't want some fat weirdo using my phone, I would tell him to get his own phone.

  9. Looks like I will be switching to Firefox then. on Google Proposes Changes To Chromium Browser That Will Break Content-Blocking Extensions, Including Various Ad Blockers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Firefox time.

  13. Windows 7 is 10 years old FFS on Adobe's Next Major Creative Cloud Release Won't Support Older OSes (petapixel.com) · · Score: 1

    End of support for operating systems has to come at some point. You cannot expect software developers to support you if you want to run out of date operating systems of browsers.

  14. Re:Work for the Dole doesn't work. on Slashdot Asks: Which is Better, a Basic Income or a Guaranteed Job? (timharford.com) · · Score: 1

    The overhead of those programs don't justify the costs. Intergenerational welfare culture isn't going to change because you force them into doing a half arsed job at something they don't want to do.

  15. Work for the Dole doesn't work. on Slashdot Asks: Which is Better, a Basic Income or a Guaranteed Job? (timharford.com) · · Score: 1

    We have tried work for the dole in Australia and it doesn't work. It cost more to run than just letting people get the dole. Forcing people to do a shit job they don't want to do is pointless.

  16. Re:Stability Matters on Ask Slashdot: Should I Ditch PHP? · · Score: 1

    I worked on many .NET applications over the years from 1.1 to 4.6 and .NET Core and I have never experience any sort of IIS instability.

  17. Re:.NET? on Ask Slashdot: Should I Ditch PHP? · · Score: 1

    aspx died over 10 years ago, if you are using aspx as your inspiration against .NET then you need to look at modern .NET, it looks nothing like it did when aspx reigned in the .NET space.

  18. Re:32 year old here ... on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 2

    I would consider than a waste of my time. I would much prefer you rang and cancelled rather that have me block out my calendar for an interview just to be told you already have found another position. That is not going to get you any kind of offer.

  19. We haven't detected any radio waves, so what? Look at most life on earth and think how likely is it that they will develop a radio telescope? Very fucking unlikely! Sharks have cruised our oceans for hundreds of millions of years pretty much unchanged, are they going to ever produce a radio telescope? Note very likely. Dolphins, apes, elephants and ravens are all incredibly intelligent species that don't look like cracking the radio telescope project anytime soon. Even most pockets of human existence were not looking like having any major technological break through anytime soon from Australian Aboriginals, pygmy rain forest tribes, Kalahari Bush Men or Papua tribes men. It seems the survive the long harsh winter of Europe was the anonymity that led to major technological break throughs so I see no reason why the galaxy or at least the universe if not our local neighbourhood can't be filled with highly evolved conscious beings that just never made a radio telescope. Basing our conclusions on we haven't detected anything yet is just plain ridiculous.

  20. WTF? on Uber Seeks Patent For AI That Determines Whether Passengers Are Drunk (cnet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Being drunk is why I am getting an Uber FFS. If they wont pick me up drunk then they have lost my business.

  21. Re:Most "Professional programmers" are useless. on New Book Describes 'Bluffing' Programmers in Silicon Valley (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Whenever you try and start the conversation of how this could be done better you usually get the explanation of what they have done. Yes, I know what you have done that is why I am here explaining how it could be done more efficiently, we can turn that 400 lines of code in 12. After 20 minutes of listening to them explain what you have already decided was fucking atrocious they start to listen to you and go ah, that's a really good idea. You go back to your desks thinking I have made a deference today only to get a pull request that makes you want to punch them in the face.

  22. Most "Professional programmers" are useless. on New Book Describes 'Bluffing' Programmers in Silicon Valley (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I am of the opinion that at least 70, probably 80, maybe even 90 percent of professional programmers should just fuck off and do something else as they are useless at programming.
