There are 64 names left in Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 -- and Toy Story 4 is coming soon. Thus, names get added faster than they are consumed; and even if Toy Story 4 gets cancelled, with one release per approx. two years, existing buffer will last us a good while.
I give 1 star reviews to Android apps that use Material Design 9 times outta 10.
Hell yeah, it's not just old folks that agree these UI designs are objectively worse. But hey, if you say CSD is worse than Hitler, you have a beer on me (collectable only in person).
In other news, operating systems developed nearly exclusively over IRC and mailing lists have taken over everything but desktops and phones, with the latter mostly using components (such as kernel) developed this way as well.
I don't care what means of communication millenials use, software written by them rarely keeps being maintained for as long as six months anyway. Then, they switch to yet another video-over-twitter-over-facebook thingy while making another node.js framework that won't last.
In unrelated news, on 2017-11-20 I was first told I have a grey hair in my beard, at age of 39 years 7 months.
Also gcc's optimizer is notorious for bugs and undefined behaviors. Just try this in optimized mode with any gcc version and compare it with other compilers:
Your code is buggy; gcc notices the bug and issues a diagnostic, while clang happily produces incorrect output.
It's important to be able to be able to run the edit-compile-test cycle rapidly
Please remind me: which company has the biggest computing power on the planet? And even on a single beefy machine, you can have enough cores to make final link the slowest part. Chrome still uses system linker both on Linux and Windows.
They've chosen Clang over GCC for political reasons: despite a codebase without historical baggage, Clang is at least several percent slower than GCC, it only compiles faster. A good rule of thumb is that Clang-built code executes as GCC at one optimization level less, with compilation speed being likewise faster. Obviously, this wildly differs per test case.
Uhm, except git solves precisely those errors. Once anything is committed, even if you amend/rebase/etc that commit away, git really goes out of its way to preserve it; it takes a malicious action to lose data with git.
Your purchase history is yours to share. Every conversation you have, too -- that's your choice. But please, do warn me when/if I visit your house, so I know that no talk is private there.
Damore did science well. What he failed at, was doublethink -- facts he presented are not really news to anyone, but they go against the religion. As someone with a form of autism, he assumed that, when the company preaches a science-based approach, and apply it to task A, they also appreciate applying it to task B.
In the typical example: an autistic kid, when presented with a beef can with a cow on its label, a pork can with a pig, and a poultry can with a rooster, assumes that the can with a cat on it has cat meat inside. Such people want consistency and logic, not understanding irrational taboos the society has.
One I still have attached to my desk (used only to attach a LED lamp with no arm) flickers at somewhat around 5Hz, with a longer cycle several seconds long.
Overhead fluorescents that plague classrooms and similar public places also usually flicker, often with audible noise. It's hard to find a classroom without at least one flickering lamp.
A hundred kilohertz cycle can't make videos look silly (other than possibly interference): what you see is strobe effect at 60Hz.
The name "energy saving" means explicitly CFL in common labelling in shops and in advertising in Poland; I believe I pointed so well enough -- if that wasn't clear, then sorry. LEDs are thus called "LED bulbs" or "LED lighting" (when in non-bulb shape), to disambiguate.
To whatever idiot modded this as troll: it's LEDs which are overwhelmingly (save for the initial cost) better than incadescents; energy savers (CFLs) on the other hand wouldn't be used or allowed to use by any rational person if not for the purchased law. Also, studies which try to dismiss the downsides say that flickering and noise affect "only" cheap CFLs -- as if 99% of people didn't pick the cheaper bulb whenever presented two with neither having a readily apparent upside other than price.
Thus, adoption of LEDs and other sane energy saving measures were hurt by the "energy saving" CFL crap.
A good part of opposition to reducing lighting energy came from governments pushing "energy saving" (ie, CFL) bulbs -- "energy saving bulb" being literally the name used in trade, at least in Poland. These bulbs cause massive pollution, are very dangerous if broken, and are unhealthy for eyesight (both due to flickering and bad spectrum).
Despite these flaws, legislation sounded like "energy saving" are the second coming while incadescents are Hitler reincarnated; obviously, some favours from CFL makers were involved. This made the public lose any trust in such measures.
And as most voters are irrational, a voice that says "THEY want to again change things contrary to what we always did" can indeed gain some votes.
As long as there's no collusion between competitors in the delivery chain (helloooo Visa vs MasterCard, competing networks my ass), it's a clear win for the customers. Food can't (yet...) be DRMed, so no ink cartridge refill schemes.
Most of the world's population does indeed not live in the USA, which means decent network speeds without caps. (I'm talking about countries which can afford prices on this -- there's not much money Google can earn in sub-Saharan Africa.)
No one likes privacy anymore. The only people who want to watch or listen to their form of entertainment while not being tracked, profiled, packaged and sold are those retro-freaks
Or instead of flimsy obsolete physical junk or bandwidth-wasting streaming, get their music via Cpt. Anakata or via one of specialized sites. I then try to find a way to support the band in some way.
Specifically: band, not that "content owner". I do consider copyright to be a crime against humanity, those lobbying for it are not going to get a single cent from me. It's the artist who needs to get financial benefits from their work.
There's a big benefit to Backblaze for publishing these yearly stats: this ensures their drive purchases will be the cream of the crop, reducing their replacement costs.
I believe this concern outweighs those (valid) concerns you listed.
They were analysing the machine code, not a high level language with lots of edge cases.
Machine code is simple, right? So ask the guys dealing with recent speculative caching issues...
The Atari 2600 uses the 6502 CPU core, and we have perfect simulation tools for it.
It sounds trivial: just execute the opcodes one by one, right? So read the article here -- any usual emulation technique results in differences that not only are user-visible but can make the game unwinnable. And even that is still far from being fully accurate.

Baby's first gray hair.
What do you mean, there are people here older than me?!? Perhaps even ones wiser than me.
At least I have the comfort of being sure here's no one with better looks than me.
Dont lump all of us millenials together.
Apologies! Age doesn't imply wisdom.

There's a good article in the Regimental Standard about letting AI drive military drones being ungodly as well.

Also, Clang's portability is pretty bad.
Well, TF summary mentions it has soup. That's good enough for me.
Please notify me once you discover a planet that has pizza. And where anchovies are extinct.

The ones that make it illegal for foreigners to say "Clinton is a cunt and Trump is too" during an election.
I'd say that's common knowledge for anyone with more than two brain cells, core voters of both being beyond redemption.
Well, by the text of the Code of Conduct, most SJWs will be immediately banned. Because if the words say X, they mean X, right? Right??

I'd want to see this lady decipher the scribbling of a doctor I visited with foot pain recently. There's the Voynich Manuscript, then there's this.
each item has to be priced reasonably
Can't quite see what's the downside here.

I meant a far more cynical explanation than how you understood my comment. Cynical for drive manufacturers, that is.
