  1. lol on Researchers Test Developer Biometrics To Predict Buggy Code · · Score: 1

    lol what the f*ck!
    I quote from the Microsoft research paper:
    "In this paper, we investigate a novel approach to classify the difficulty of code comprehension tasks using data from psycho-physiological sensors. We present the results of a study we conducted with 15 professional programmers to see how well an eye-tracker, an electrodermal activity sensor, and an electroencephalography sensor could be used to predict whether developers would find a task to be difficult."

    15 developers is enough to reach a conclusion???
    Note that the paper is about investigating the difficulty of code comprehension, not how bug are introduced, while it may be indirectly linked, it is not for a fact linked, it is just an assumption, there's no such direct relationship.
    Also each developers codes differently and requires different working conditions, and feels different emotions while coding, how the heck can they assume that EEG results will show any similarity?

    This is a bullshit research wasting time and money. Probably some kind of marketing feat that will be used to claim Microsoft no longer makes bugs in its code or just some sort of conspiracy to turn programmers into zombies hooked to machines.

    Lol blame the programmer for the bug when bugs occurs for a lot more reasons than just one human doing the coding, building a program is more than just about a programmer.

    Anyways, it is a research paper :p, everyone should bow down and say "amen you are right" :s. Stupidities

  2. Awesome. on New Treatment Stops Type II Diabetes · · Score: 1

    Extremely great news. Happy for many of my closed ones, i hope that this could lead to a potential solution to fix type 2 diabetes, i have a lot of familly members having this, despite regulating food intake and doing regular exercise. I just hope pharmaceuticals companies do not manipulate things to create a drug that one should be dependant on forever but instead create a one X number of dose fix it all thing :).

  4. French and Freedom of Speech on French Blogger Fined For Negative Restaurant Review · · Score: 2

    :) Here goes for French and there so called freedom of speech. hAh, people having fought for liberty, fraternity and equality, now they can't even "rate" or 'criticise" a restaurant. That Judge is a dick head. :) Yeah, I challenge him to sue me now for saying that his decision is like that of a child.

    A blog is a personal space. You are free to read it, or ignore it.

    Anyways, here's an archive of the Article in question: http://web.archive.org/web/201...

    Use google translate if you don't understand French.

    It mostly is about aperitif not being queried for, not served on time, bad waitressing, lack of good PR by the owner, bad wine serving abilities etc...

    Good read if you like food.

    My opinion about this, someone went to a restaurant counted what she experienced at the restaurant, and she got fined for counting her experience. Dafuq.

    When someone says reset phone and reset data, the OS should ensure a clean wipe not a soft wipe. Should atleast fill it with 0s. And people should try to keep most of their data on sd cards and move those alongs when they get new phones.

    What kind of people sell sd cards along with phone. I thought everyone are misers.

    Am tempted to know what kind of nudie pics where available :p.

    Python breaks a lot. Libraries keeps changing a lot, I have no idea whether they heard about keeping backward compatibility when they started developping Python.

    Python Engineering wise is a nice language, usage wise, it is not something i consider mature, many will disagree, and well i am not here to impose my view, so please feel free to disagree.

    Want something nice to learn, Try Perl, Try GoLang.

  11. Mafia on In-Flight Wi-Fi Provider Going Above and Beyond To Help Feds Spy · · Score: 1

    The Government seems to become more and more of a mafia, so why continue ranting but still keeping the system the same?

    We have enough resources and technology to make a system whereby the entire nation gets to vote/decide on any small decision that gets taken. We can even add a weightage system to it so as experts in the field's opinion get more value.

    It is about time that we eliminate that form of central decision making, which instead of working for the people, are indulging into spying on them, under the pretense that it is for your own good.

  12. They had to do a study to learn that? on Study: Video Gamer Aggression Result of Game Experience, Not Violent Content · · Score: 1

    Either a lot of researchers are really retarded or are living in a different world than me. This has been so obvious after so many years of Quake! No one became violent from this, only those who loses sulks and gets frustrated. That was always the case.

    Am amazed at how money is spent in stupid researches like these when these things are pretty obvious. Pffft, I guess when funding is given for researchers, whoever manages to give head to whoever is funding, gets the money. There are so many interesting and worthwhile researches out there that shall benefit humanity more than dumb researches like this, and then you wonder, why bright kids start selling drugs to sponsor their own researches.

  13. Hormonal issues on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    "In short, Horvath said that she felt she was being treated differently internally simply due to her gender and not the quality of her work. " Pfft chicks and their hormonal issues, they always screw everythings up, from the article, it seems even the boss's wife contributed in making the situation... messy.

    According to Horvath: “I met her and almost immediately the conversation that I thought was supposed to be casual turned into something very inappropriate. She began telling me about how she informs her husband’s decision-making at GitHub, how I better not leave GitHub and write something bad about them, and how she had been told by her husband that she should intervene with my relationship to be sure I was ‘made very happy’ so that I wouldn’t quit and say something nasty about her husband’s company because ‘he had worked so hard.’”

    That's a face palm!

    caseih, I'd say, you really do not know what you are speaking about.

    Android runs on top of a Linux kernel to perform its system calls, so i'd say Android is just no more than a shell.


    You don't believe me? You don't agree with me? Doesn't matter doesn't change anything.

    Am not particular a fan of GPL but credit must be given when it is due. Am happy that Android actually has been released under a lesser restrictive license like Apache though! Way to go google!

Sure some code might not be released :p but if u know it was done with what piece of software one can fill in the blanks. It is the developper's to decide how he gifts his code to the community.
