  1. Re:the internet killed flash on What Killed Adobe Flash? (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    NodeJS? What does a networking library have to do with Flash?

  2. Re: tabs4lyf on Douglas Crockford Envisions A Post-JavaScript World (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Do what everyone else does and change your editor to insert spaces when you press tab. Of course this means you cannot edit tsv files anymore

  3. They'll get it to a point where they can give this system a description of itself and it'll build itself and put them out of a job

  4. Re: trying on Nobody Is Moving, Especially Millennials (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    1.5 hours to commute isn't that bad even for cities like london. What bubble do you live in

  5. OLE/COM on After New GIMP Release, Core Developer Discusses Future of GIMP and GEGL (girinstud.io) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Microsoft did it

  6. Bluffer! Phones have GPUs these days, the CPU is hardly involved

  7. All those processes share some state, so if one crashes all bets are off regarding the other processes too. Expect pwnage soon

  8. Re: You mean I can't pretend my content is real? on FTC Issues New Rules for Native Advertising on the Internet (blockadblock.com) · · Score: 1

    This is completely false. Publishers get to control every aspect of the types and behaviour of ads they allow on their sites, in real-time.

  9. Re: You mean I can't pretend my content is real? on FTC Issues New Rules for Native Advertising on the Internet (blockadblock.com) · · Score: 1

    You have no fscking ida what you're talking about

  10. I know where to start on IBM Permits China To Review Source Code (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    The source code of Lotus Notes should be a good read

  11. Will it block them all? on One Day After iOS 9's Launch, Ad Blockers Top Apple's App Store · · Score: 1

    I assume it won't block iAd

  12. Re:Microsoft on Behind the Microsoft Write-Off of Nokia · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They bought QT so devs wouldn't have to deal with the pecularities of Symbian.

  13. Been there on A Programming Language For Self-Organizing Swarms of Drones · · Score: 1

    I did something like this for my thesis, but even I knew deep down at the time that it was all bollocks. So is this.

  14. Re:Worst offender on Google Will Reduce Accidental Mobile Ad Clicks, With Mandatory Borders and More · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Skout uses MoPub, not Ad Exchange

  15. Complications on WWDC 2015 Roundup · · Score: 1

    The names comes from horology. Complications are the fancy stuff you get on watches... chronometer, date, moon phase. The more there are the more expensive the watch, but for real watches it actually involves top-notch engineering, not flashing a chip.

  16. Re: Answer on How Much C++ Should You Know For an Entry-Level C++ Job? · · Score: 1

    Ugh, are you one of these C++ gurus who don't realise std::unique_ptr exists? You probably pass them instead of references too? Ugh

  17. Re:Still use the most productive IDE on Choosing the Right IDE · · Score: 1

    > real UML work Is there such a thing?

  18. Re: Node.js is server side on Java Vs. Node.js: Epic Battle For Dev Mindshare · · Score: 1

    From what I know of it, it's a wrapper over libuv

  19. Re: Don't be so hard on him... on Ask Slashdot: Are General Engineering Skills Undervalued In Web Development? · · Score: 1

    It's actually not that far off, any high-performance Java app eventuaaly uses the Unsafe class so the developers can do things Java doesn't allow you to, because that's not what it's for. There are people on stackoverflow asking questions about programming problems when writing JVM bytecode directly... WTF is that all about? These guys probably then consider themselves low level devs. LOL

  20. Re:JavaScript is the high level C on PHP vs. Node.js: the Battle For Developer Mind Share · · Score: 1

    C !== javascript

  21. Re: show me the measurement for programmers on Paul Graham: Let the Other 95% of Great Programmers In · · Score: 1

    You trippin' nigga

  22. Fix html5 video, plus a few other things on Firefox 32 Arrives With New HTTP Cache, Public Key Pinning Support · · Score: 1

    Youtube Videos still continue to play even when the tab is closed. The video stops rendering sometimes yet the audio continues. The browser itself freezes a lot. I get 'firefox is running but not responding' messages all the time. I don't see the fuss. It's bloated crap IMO

  23. It's the publisher's choice on Dealing With 'Advertising Pollution' · · Score: 1

    Publishers get to allow or block particular types of adverts for their site/app. The degree of control they have is huge, if you're getting intrusive adverts complain to the publisher, not the advertising industry.

  24. Re: DRTFA on After the Sun (Microsystems) Sets, the Real Stories Come Out · · Score: 1

    I see you've never had a parse a compilation error when using boost (C++)

  25. I'm a style prude on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Consider Elegant Code? · · Score: 2

    The first thing I look at when looking at interview candidates code is their style. I don't care particularly if it's not the same as mine, but I do care if there's no consistency to their own style. I'm talking about hurried formatting, trying to squeeze everything into the least number of lines, mixed naming conventions, bad spelling in comments, even down to things like inconsistent spacing. Maybe I'm a prude but if I'm going to be looking at this person's coding output all day it better at least be readable. That Linux managed to maintain a consistent coding style with so many contributors is an admirable feat. As for beautiful algorithms, I quite like the simplicity of Dijkstra's shortest path.
