  1. Re:Oh lord, the pain on Ask Slashdot: A Point of Contention - Modern User Interfaces · · Score: 0

    While UX is a major buzzword, it is more than the UI. A car with and without power steering has the same UI, but the first one will have a much better UX. In my mind UI design asks how, UX design goes one step further and asks why. Like UI asks if you want gear shift with a stick on handles on the wheel, UX asks if you'd rather not have an automatic transmission. Or for that matter a self-driving car, are the pedals and wheel really the goal or are they just means for the end of getting from A to B? Of course it could be a problem if the UX guys decide "everybody" wants it this way and remove options from the UI, but it's an imperfect world.

    No, sorry, that's still UI. Nice try though, good thing a UI god caught it. UX is the bullshit fluff like wanting your handles to have foam padding, and should there be carpet underneath the pedal. The skin is UX. The actual operational part is UI.

  2. God Emperor Trump has no time for such silly crap on Apple Patents a Vaporizer (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    He's getting rid of at least 75% of federal regulations. If you love your country, make sure he knows to rip these away too. The FDA can fuck itself raw.

  3. You don't read people at all then. His lies were the most obvious fucking thing in the universe, which is why we despised him so much. "Alternative facts" are different pages from the same book but I'm sure we'll usurp/appropriate/glorify that term just like every other slur you tried to throw at us. Your hate feeds the beast and you know nothing but hate. Goodnight, Democratic Party.

  4. Re:C# vs Swift, lolz on Slashdot's Interview With Swift Creator Chris Lattner · · Score: -1

    Swift cannot scale multithreaded project development or functionality the way the simple C# await keyword can. That's why C++ is eventually going to die too. Your brain will explode with your shitty lambdas that you can't branch cleanly or correctly, so you dumb down your algorithms and forfeit the next evolution. AND YOU ALL KNOW IT. That's not pervasive multithreading, that's I'm-in-over-my-head multithreading. And then you go back to reinventing the same old C-style thread-blocking language a few more times. C# has been twice used for developing experimental next-gen OS kernels, and the standard compiler is written in itself, so everyone can fuck off. The clean syntax and reflection/live compiler services make C# PERFECT for scripting. C# wins. Use assembler or C underneath that and call it a day, or burn up your money against me in the market.

  5. Re:Flat, unintuitive UI? No thanks! on Opera Neon Turns Your Web Browser Into a Mini Desktop (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    The problem is that user interfaces and web applications are largely being designed by developers who are not UI designers.

    UX is almost a fake discipline. I've never seen it used for anything other than feature reduction. It habitually obfuscates workflow and makes advanced functionality harder instead of easier.

  6. Correction: only the globalists can't keep their promises when they enter office, because the whole point of them entering office is to fuck you over! Give Trump at least the same builders' respect you give Linus Torvalds.

    Learn C#6 and make your code multithreaded too. It isn't going away, and people like me will eat your lunch in the coming year. Nothing else scales.

  8. In the Trump Era you don't admit to mistakes.

    Wrong, fucker. In the Trump Era we FIX the mistakes or we liquidate the careers and businesses of the fools who cause them. But it's still the Obama Era, numbnuts. Trump doesn't have any political power until January 20, unless you want to admit that he is already the Greatest Show On Earth.

  9. Get behind me, Soros! on 'Quit Social Media. Your Career May Depend on It.' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Hillary lost to Trump because of social media. Now the Left are so desperate they are discrediting social media, their very own baby! Did none of you read Dragonlance? EVIL TURNS ON ITSELF.

  10. The Democratic Party is over. on Snopes.com Editor on Fake News: Social Media Is Not the Problem (backchannel.com) · · Score: 0

    Alex Jones ironically is America's anchorman now, and 4chan decided an election. Doesn't matter if you like it or not; the public had its day with the liberal dream and lately decided against it for a whole fucking generation. I would have thought Slashdot would be more sympathetic but instead they parrot all the horseshit they leveraged to get that useless Comp Sci degree. Thus tech/media is divided between two groups: alt-right chasing the truth and SJW pussies chasing easy privilege. The problem the Left has is that the digital Trump campaign juggernaut never deactivates. Born organically of Gamergate, it destroyed Hillary, it's destroying the Democratic Party, and then it will destroy traditional media and left-wing social media platforms after first tricking and whoring them out to elect Trump. So be it: they all lied and conspired to protect a Manchurian candidate who literally sold off the rights to end civilization as we know it. The longer you gawk at the clouds wondering what happened here, the less prepared you'll be for the coming explosion of third parties. So long, and thanks for all the fish!

    Just more silly scare mongering from Trump haters. Trump will not impose a 45% tariff, and China will not stop all trade with the US.

    And there will be no 30 foot wall, and Trump's tax plan won't happen either.

    Just more pointless posturing.

    The wall just got 10 feet higher.

    The Democratic Party has been thoroughly exposed as a criminal organization, and it's disingenuous for us to talk like it isn't actually trying to break down every defense of the American system with every one of its policies. In 69 days the Trump will sound and burn leftist dreams to the ground and sow salt so nothing ever grows there again. Anyone who cites either of the Bushes to attack Republicans is using obsolete narratives, everyone knows they were criminals in bed with the Clintons. "It is known." Thank you to G.H.W.B. for making it so obvious by endorsing Hillary, and Dubya for hiding from the question entirely.

    He's such a stone-cold, 100% genuine solid idiot that should he win, he will be outwitted by every world leader he meets.

    Why do you say stupid shit? He didn't get to his station in life by being outwitted. You should be able to deduce that. Every square inch of Manhattan has to be negotiated for between banks, developers AND regulators, on a level I bet you are utterly unaware even exists. His "bullying bluster and evasion" prevents his enemies from nailing him down with technicalities that aren't even important to THEM. That's what Democrats do, ignore the forest and harass you on the dimensions of each leaf.

    It's the endgame of all economic regulation. Eventually people will deal in black markets to defy your attempts to control how they exchange money, so you will have to control how they personally behave.

  25. This is actually good news on Microsoft Declines To Make a 64-Bit Visual Studio (uservoice.com) · · Score: -1

    What you guys don't realize is that the rewrite is mostly done. Moving components to C#/WPF already took care of that, and I'm sure newer code is word size agnostic. Furthermore, you now have a guarantee that Microsoft is committed to 32-bit compatibility. When they finally make their 64-bit version, you better hope you're done with 32-bit too.
