the grumpy said "long before java was even created", not tomcat. I just wanted to let him see how annoying it is when someone takes stuff verbatim and uses it to "prove" someone wrong, like he did to the other guy. And he has the audacity of telling other people to stop posting, as if he was the owner of this forum. Disrespectful.
Anyways if we were to consider this thing in the context of this story, which is security experts running their web server as root, the relevance of whatever the fuck port 8080 was used for 20 years ago is at best weak.
RMS gets paid for being RMS. Good gig if you can get it.
Moderate people don't make the needle move. As a society we need RMS just like we need those idiots who chain themselves to trees or those women who take off their shirts and write slogans over their breasts. They provide a balance of power and they raise awareness, and yes, those activities require funding, which is not worst than all those lobbyists promoting the agendas of Big Oil or Big Software in Washington.
If systemd has the potential to further commercialize the linux world (certifications, certified distributions, enterprise support contracts, etc), at the expense of the rest of the linux world then I think it is something we could use an RMS comment about.
Amen to that. Anyone who deals on a regular basis with RHN subcriptions can see how this kind of design is in line with Red Hat's approach. It's linux with a kill switch.
More distributions are choosing it because they feel it's a better solution.
Wrong. More distributions are choosing it because more distributions are choosing it. This is a textbook case of an emperor having no clothes and whistleblowers being vilified for their rude way to denounce it.
Now if YOU think that systemd is a better solution, why don't you enlighten us? Of course you won't, because systemd is not an improvement, it's a fork for the sake of forking, so like everyone who defends it your point is that "that many distributions can't be wrong".
Collective stupidity is a real thing. Look at the subprime crisis in 2008. How the fuck could anyone with a high school education ever believe that putting thousands of C- borrowers together could give an A+ pool? The same madness and lack of critical thinking is now rampant in IT.
systemd is a terrible system, hard to figure out, hard to debug, and extremely unreliable. It doesn't matter how many distros ship with it. It's a piece of garbage and shame on anyone who supports it just because other people support it.
Your point is stupid in the first place, I wish./ would have just deleted it.
No, for that the syntax is./rm, but only if your current working directory is/bin. Also depending on your distro you may have to add -f otherwise it won't just delete things, it will ask for a confirmation first.
I wish you kids would stop running your mouths while the adults are talking. Port 8080 has been used since the beginning for the web. It was used long before Java even existed.
According to Wikipedia, the "web" was created in November of 1990, and Java in June 1991.
Also according to Wikipedia, port 8080 is associated with Tomcat.
You may now apologize to RabidReindeer for being wrong and disrespectful, and also apologize to adults in general for making stupid statements in their name.
You do nothing at all. The argument here is not with Batteroo (the organization behind batterizer). The argument is: does this video deserves a shitload of dislikes, based on the quality of the video itself. And the answer is yes.
If the guy makes another video, a shorter one that explains clearly the issues with Batteroo's claims, and he still gets tons of dislikes, then we can revisit this discussion.
Great little tablet. Not a lot of storage but has a micro SD card slot. Far less bloatware than Samsung and no weird keyboard. Touch is ok, not as good as Nexus, but at $130 it's a bargain, especially for tablets which I consider disposable devices.
I use it mostly for: Audible, Kindle, listening to music (from sd card or songza) and web browsing (with Firefox, which so far seems the only tablet browser that supports ad-blockers without having to do weird proxy configs). Decent performance.
I also have a Yoga Pro convertible and lately I've noticed that I tend to pick the tablet more often than the Yoga Pro.
caseih's summary is simple and easy to understand (a lot more than the confusing stuff posted by the author of that video). If someone here is trying to "appear well-versed in electronics" it's not him.
He showed people making similar comments in reply to his story.
Those are probably people who watched the video (as opposed to you).
See, I don't dislike that he debunks the claims of the batterizer thing. I actually clicked the Play button because I too was finding the thing fishy. But after 2 minutes I just found it unbearable, so I clicked on the link he provided that says "Click here if you don't want to spend 40 minutes watching this crap" and this was a link to his blog or something.
The blog post starts with this:
Many people have asked for a much shorter explanation of the claims, so here we go, for those who can’t afford the 40 minutes
And guess what, even that blog post was awful and unreadable. I managed to read about 1/3 before scrolling to the Summary at the bottom (which is now about at 1/2 the page because he keeps adding stuff below), and his Summary is another 4 paragraphs that I summarized in 1 sentence ("The author doesn't disagree with the technology or the fact that it can extend battery life, he just loses his shit about the 8x claim and some other minor things").
The video is a 38 minutes rant against a product that allegedly extends the life of disposable batteries. The author doesn't disagree with the technology or the fact that it can extend battery life, he just loses his shit about the 8x claim and some other minor things.
38 minutes of outraged, sneering engineering babble with an extremely annoying voice, bad infographics and lots of screenshots. Whoever rented a Vietnamese hacker (or whatever) to add 5,000 dislike on that video should be thanked by Youtube viewers as a whole.
The Gates Foundation is routinely crushing existing NGOs and bending public policy to their will.
In 2008 the WHO’s head of malaria research, Aarata Kochi, accused a Gates Foundation ‘cartel’ of suppressing diversity of scientific opinion, claiming the organization was ‘accountable to no-one other than itself’.
That Foundation is basically hubris and greed with a nice front.
1 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
I'm sure those two small copper coins could fund an entire university, or pay for research centers that eradicate multiple diseases in half the country like Rockefeller's money did.
The Gates Foundation does a huge amount of good in the world.
The Gates Foundation does a huge amount of good for Bill Gates. See:
Through the foundation, Bill, Melinda and Microsoft maintain pharmaceutical patent investments, tobacco investments, investments in alcoholic beverages, petroleum investments, investments in experimental and controversial crops, and even investments in news/media. Gates need not even pay tax, though he keeps control of the assets and uses that control to influence private and public policy. Money talks and politicians can in turn be persuaded to buy from Microsoft. This dependence/lock-in cascades down to businesses and homes, creating a revenue stream that would not exist in a free market. Gates is also able to bring public money to himself through energy and public health policy. As Gates has diversified, his corrupting influence has spread to other portions of the economy.
* Battlestar Galactica (2004) - Holy shit, this was freaking AWESOME! Excellent writing and acting. * Caprica (2009) - OK, had potential; worth watching if you liked BSG
Watch both again. You'll find yourself fast-forwarding quite a lot in BSG and paying more attention to the story in Caprica.
90% of BSG was weak pseudo-philosophy babbling. Dialogues in some of those episodes (like the whole Baltar trial thing) made the discussion between Neo and The Architect in the Matrix look like a masterpiece.
I'm black and sound black, and their racist support refuses to help.
It's a Czech company. Out there the non-Caucasian population is 0.5%, and most of that is Vietnamese.
So the problem is not that they are racist, it's just that when you say "cuz, this shit is whack and if y'all don't make it supafly I'm'a smoke yo dog" they probably don't understand the issue.
Thanks for the math lecture, but I think to most people it's obvious that the point here is that the value of extra features in JetBrains versus what you can get in Netbeans is not worth the price they ask.
Anyway, I am genuinely interested in which features/properties for any of the above-mentioned languages are lacking in Eclipse and make it worth switching to another IDE for that language.
Here's the Eclipse Experience.
1) Go to their website. 2) Click on download. 3) Spend the next 20 minutes trying to understand which of the 14 editions you need * 4) Give up and download Netbeans.
* bonus round: click on one of the edition then look at the "Detailed features list", and be amazed to see... a list of java namespaces. Very convenient.
Reddit is like a lightning rod. They get all the crazies and lunatics jumping on the latest hysteria. Then when the matter is ready for polite, sophisticated discussion, it appears on Slashdot. In the past it was digg, now it's reddit. Same old same old.

most companies don't operate in a reactionary "OMG FUCK YOU POTTERING I KEEL YUO" manner
Of course. That's because most companies are still on RHEL6. Give them time.
Your hashtags are way too long.
