  1. Modern tools would alleviate this... on Linus Torvalds In Sweary Rant About Punctuation In Kernel Comments (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    Whether I'm using Eclipse, PyCharm, or Visual Studio I don't need to worry so much about this bullshit. You can set an IDE setting and the IDE will help you auto-format comments and other pieces of code.

    I know.. I know. Real men are inefficient and use vi or emacs....

    Yeah, he's just some lucky dummy who luckily wrote the Linux kernel.

    You can be reductionist about any success or failure of a human being as "luck", good or bad. It's pointless, like hypothesizing that our reality is a simulation.

  4. Rarely.. on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Switch Programming Languages? · · Score: 0

    I pick what I like and use it, currently. For UNIX stuff that means Python, though I'm forced to use Perl a lot as well. For Windows stuff or if I have carte blanche I use C#/.NET.

    I think if you're really good in two languages and can swing back into another one or two that you're "rusty" at, you're fine. This cock measuring contest about knowing 15 languages is fucking silly and childish.

    I hear you, but you do know the cloud is a real thing now right? I mean I get there used to be other phrases people used for the same thing, I really do. But it's a bit out of touch to imply that it's just some meaningless buzzword at this point.

    As for this, yet's it's nation-wide internet access using 868Mhz (I think?) wireless. Low power, high penetration (thaswuhshesaid) suitable for letting random ass little devices get on the network without needing your own e.g. Zigbee or Z-Wave bridge.

  6. Actually it's for people whose time is valuable. I mean if you're a basement dwelling dipshit with no life I guess it's cool to spend hours scouring the net for free copies of songs you could listen to much more easily by paying a few cents per listen then I guess torrenting music is _awesome_!

    Do you also grow your own corn because "corn seeds are cheap bro!"?

  9. Re:new MS? nothings changed. on .NET Core 1.0 Released, Now Officially Supported By Red Hat (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You haven't a clue and clearly aren't qualified to speak on it. Lots of "techies" use and love .NET. Python is fine, even pretty good these days and if you need to run on Linux it's great. I mean I don't get the asinine stupidity that is the Python 2/Python 3 divide, but whatever. I guess someone smoked some crack and came up with that idea.. PyCharm is pretty nice, etc...

    Java is...meh. OK, but from a developer's perspective it's inferior in just about every way to .NET (comparing C# and Java). Other than paranoiac fears about "lock in", or cost, or a few other specific reasons you can't argue much in its favor. Don't get me wrong, a few of those are some real "other than" clauses, but don't apply to me so far at least.

    But for the shit I work on, IIS+C#/.NET/WebAPI+SQL Server are incredibly powerful, easy to develop in and deploy, and easy to support. It's a no brainer.

    Sure.. sure. All the bestest companies advertise on Craigslist. Oh, and it's 2012 and startups in San Francisco are totally the hottest thing. Yo, you get any of that hot startup stock bro??

    Like I said, out of touch. No skin off my sack, I can slum and develop in Python or Java, but this delusion you people have about "nobody uses .NET!" cracks me up.

    It always amuses me how out of touch people on Slashdot are. Go look at a job site for .NET jobs, or web developer jobs and then come back and blather about "who still uses .NET LOL!". It's really kind of embarrassing for you to know so little about the real world.

    You know nobody takes the label "xenophobic" seriously anymore right? Nor does anyone care if you call them "nationalistic". Normal, well adjusted adults vote in their own best interested. This certainly doesn't mean 0 immigration, it means measured, controlled immigration in a manner that benefits the actual citizens of a nation.

    It's humorous to me that you sound authoritarian, much like the EU, but have nothing to back up your impotent, spittle-laced tirade.

    Motorola is replacing with USB-C, which everyone else will eventually do as well. Apple will use lightning, which nobody gives a flying shit about and nobody else will ever use. Hence the hand-wringing.

    We know for a fact nobody else is going to use lightning headphones. On anything. This leaves Apple alone.

    I mean I guess someone could think that's a good attempt at something, but I don't know who. Will be especially hilarious when the EU gets all pissy about interoperability and makes Apple provide a lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter. Oh the lulz that will be had....!

    I can't tell from your comment if you're stupid or disingenuous.

    Your link refers to SDN infrastructure. Microsoft, of course, uses a heavily customized version of Hyper-V as their hosts, you nimrod.

    I'm surprised it's not standard on every mid-range or above phone these days. It's kind of ridiculous. Among other things saves wear and tear on the USB and it's great for e.g. charging while at work, drop it on the charger and done.

    I'd also like to see some sort of "snap to mount" standard where they place little metal plates in the phone at a specific relation to the charging coils so you can magnetically snap the phone to a (standardized) charging mount and have it charge wirelessly.

    Instead, phones are falling into the old PC trap. I will keep my Note 4 until it stops working because there's nothing new enough to really make me want to get it. Just the same old boring fucking phones.
