  1. The decline of the american dev on US Bureau of Labor Statistics: Programmer Jobs Will Decline 8% (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Why are you guys trying to create more coders with your new K-12 core subject? All that shit is being off-shored now. And thats before you look at the H1-B situation. You'd be better off flipping burgers. lol

    lol "taxpayers".

    Let me tell you how it will be spent. a few million will go on some BS diversity garbage for PR purposes. The rest will go on "expenses" and maintenance of sports programs.

  8. Your expert witness credentials check out just fine. When can you start?

  9. Great Artists Steal on Apple Loses Patent Suit To University of Wisconsin, Faces Huge Damages (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    This story made me laugh. However I feel Apple will whittle away at the amount and get away with paying a tiny fraction.

    Laws written by corporations and rubber stamped by corrupt politicians trump all other concerns it seems.

  14. Not unless... on Could a Digital Pen Change How We Diagnose Brain Function? · · Score: 0

    ...there is some sort of diagnostic machine attached to it and it can actually extract some sort of medical info from the brain. I'm not a doctor though.

  15. I shall call this code... on Spoken Language Could Tap Into "Universal Code" · · Score: 0

    ...pseudo-code. And this article pseudo-journalism.

    Now everyone, write an article that contains the word "code" in the title. It will make morons feel smart when they read it.

  16. Meh. Fuck em on Will Ad Blockers Kill the Digital Media Industry? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The ad industry is killing the ad industry. When I reinstall my OS and start a browser before installing an ad blocker the web looks and sounds like complete shit.

    auto start video ads and popup ads that popup about on web pages 30 seconds after you start reading an article are my 2 least favorite ad types.
    Fuck em

  17. Fuck Lenovo on Lenovo Installed Software On Laptops That Persisted After Complete Wipes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Never buying from that company again and will, in my capacity as family tech support guy, ensure that nobody in my family buys one. Wow. That company cannot die quick enough.

  18. Re:Everyone knows that... on Amazon's New SSL/TLS Implementation In 6,000 Lines of Code · · Score: 0

    Fewer lines means easier to audit once someone gets down to it, though.

    Nobody who has ever coded even on a reasonably complex software project would say such a thing.

  19. Everyone knows that... on Amazon's New SSL/TLS Implementation In 6,000 Lines of Code · · Score: 0

    ... fewer lines means better software right? Why not write it in Python and get it down to one line. That would clearly be the best implementation.


    Seriously though, has s2n been audited independently? Who has been involved in its development (Amazon and...)? You can't wheel out the line count and claim a revolutions has happened.

  20. Problems here too on Chromecast Update Bringing Grief For Many Users · · Score: 1

    Came downstairs this morning to find the TV on and the Chromecast setup screen. Complete with new Chromecast device ID number, (e.g format ChromcastWXYZ).

    So? The Statue of Liberty was created in France, but it is an American landmark, why?

    Because it is based in America. It's not a difficult concept. Ask a grown up to explain it to you using sock puppets if you are still struggling with it.

    Superfish is based in Palo Alto, California.

  24. The mock outrage is palpable on France, Up In Arms Over NSA Spying, Passes New Surveillance Law · · Score: 1

    France is so outraged they are going to introduce more laws to allow greater snooping powers on their own citizens? I'm surprised they didn't also introduce pay rises for themselves, ya know, coz of the outrage.

  25. K Bye. on Grooveshark Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    [D]espite best of intentions, we made very serious mistakes. We failed to secure licenses from rights holders for the vast amount of music on the service

    How is it that if I shared that many songs with that many people without authorization I'd be fined literally trillions of dollars, but they get to walk away like this? Very odd.
