  1. Re:Ppl who don't know C++ slamming C++ on Bjarne Stroustrup Awarded 2015 Dahl-Nygaard Prize · · Score: 0

    I've spent over a decade writing C++ code professionally for financial, insurance and CRM systems. So Stroustrup made a half-baked badly designed partially-OO langauge that has set back the evolution of real OO back at least two decades, and he gets an award? A kick in the ass would be more appropriate.

  9. Re:Not just self-employed.. on Intuit Charges More For Previously Offered TurboTax Features, Users Livid · · Score: 1

    the number I remember is 0.0065%, but if anyone laughs and says why don't I change to high end 0.1%, is because whether $15 or $1.31 it doesn't matter, from my point of view it's essentially zero.

  10. Re:Put away your pitch forks on SystemD Gains New Networking Features · · Score: 1

    There is a natural selection happening, major distros are adopting some stupid ideas, including a buggy undocumented massive pile of bloat known as SystemD, and so those with deep sys admin experience in charge of systems that handle hundreds of millions of dollars or more in annual transactions will be fleeing those distros

  16. Re:Hypocrites, liars and communists. on Why We Have To Kiss Off Big Carbon Now · · Score: 1

    nonsense, cattle only make up 1% of all manmade greenhouse gas emissions. It's not worth focusing on that, not when the problem is with many things order of magnitude bigger

    nonsense, it is possible to fight an HOA and win. all about tactics and psychology.

  24. I am speaking of working on real world things, not twiddling knobs on what to the young generation are magic black boxes and giving up when that fails to for example look for simple electrical breakage; they do not "fix shit", they are clueless of how things work.

  25. missing the point, talking about people's ablities with the things they have and use.
