  1. Re:The elephants in the room on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Major Companies Exiting the Spam Filtering Business? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    A large amount of large companies either have plans in place to migrate to Gmail/O365, are IN mid-migration, or have already migrated to them. It might be that in your sector they are behind in doing this, but Microsoft sweetened the pot a few years ago and Gmail is really cheap to begin with. For the typical F100 company, there's not even a way they can compete with likely "free" from Microsoft and $50/user from Google. Companies are paying in upwards of $125/user for internal Exchange.

  2. Re:What planet are you on? on Developing In C/C++? Why You Should Consider Clang Over GCC (dice.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a 3.5mil LoC codebase that takes roughly 15 minutes to compile with gcc and about 8 minutes with clang. That's 7 minutes of my life every few hours. I'm the architect, so most of my changes require a full recompile. I'll save a couple of dozen hours per year TYVM.

    Half-life 2 is generally consider either one of the Top 5 games of all time, or literally the Greatest Game of All Time.

  4. Re:Interesting person on A Technical Look Inside TempleOS · · Score: 1

    Muuch more likely it's something like this. His stuff seems far far less hurtful, much more inappropriate. And that's basically tourettes.

  5. Re:There are STILL people @ IBM? on Massive Layoff Underway At IBM · · Score: 1

    Doug Shelton the head of corporate PR claims those numbers are off by a factor of 10+ and at the same time they opened up 15k new positions. They have 435,000 employees right now in total. Mind you a really significant number of those people are IBM Global Services which will constantly have people quitting and joining due to contracts.

    That is quite literally the role of the Supreme Court. See Article III.

  7. Re:WTF? on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 1

    Even using IMAP, you simply move the emails to [Gmail]/Spam and it's the exact same thing as hitting the Report Spam button (per Google at least.)

  8. Re:You vs everyone on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 1

    Gmail handles all of that just fine, the OP is simply using a client that doesn't understand the folders properly.

    Which if you take a look at the systemd source code you'll find it's that way as well.

    Given that there's 1million H1B visa holders in the US and there's a hell of a lot more STEM workers, it's probably not all that big of a deal.

    Back when these guys were best buddies with KDE and GNOME, both orgs thought this was a perfectly fine plan. Things have since heavily soured.

  13. Re:reduce the amount on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    I have 30 TB of Movies (Ripped via x264 @ 2.5GB/hr - 1080p) - I have the data stored on my NAS using zfs and I am seeing about a 35% savings. Now that's a LOT of savings to go down to 20TB. My NAS has plenty of space though since I have 45x3TB of disks.

  14. Re:reduce the amount on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    Let's say that the rebuiilds CAN cause additional failures, not that it *often* does. I've done maybe 500-600 RAID5 rebuilds and only had two times that there were additional failures, both with consumer SATA/EIDE drives. Most of the RAID failures I've seen have been due to no monitoring and having failed drives for months or even years.

  15. Re:Not from the car? on Tesla Model S Caught Fire While Parked and Unplugged · · Score: 1

    The only electronics in the front are the lights, some sensors and the power steering stuff. Everything else is in the back. The front wheels seem undamaged, so nothing there. I'd think most likely it was either something on the floor (they have a Lexus, which could have leaked and tada oil fire.)

  16. Re:why not? on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 1

    More than a few of those Apaches are actually Apache on Windows. The problems with IIS are mostly IIS.

  17. Re: why not? on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 1

    Definitely not SQL injection hacks, but poor PHP code can result in a root level RCE. It's mostly rare now-a-days though since most PHP is run in a userlimited or nobody fashion even if the code is bad, it can only affect the "site". None the less the number of "consumer" bots has always WAAAAAY exceeded the number of servers - actually probably the number of physical servers that exist in total.

  18. Re: why not? on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 1

    For a LOT of this it's just nginx being used by things like cloudflare and similar services, the actual site is still running Apache. At this point, I'm not 100% sure what in any reasonable configuration Apache would offer over nginx.

    Not sure if you realize, but these camps are typical of private education that doesn't give you "credits" in that they cost an arm and a leg. They cost as much as my Master's Degree cost me.

  21. Are they really safe? on Twitter Marks Clean Sites As Harmful, Breaks Links · · Score: 2

    People talk about so and so site being safe when Google marks them unsafe, but time and time again it's shown that those sites WERE in fact infected - usually from a third-party ad network.

  23. Re:So you mean to tell me .. on Talking On the Phone While Driving Not So Dangerous After All · · Score: 1

    No, but they'd be bad drivers causing accidents even if they didn't have phones. Accident rates didn't go up when phones became popular and didn't go down when states banned them. The drivers are the issue, not the devices.

  24. Lots of Different Languages are Used on Using Java In Low Latency Environments · · Score: 1

    I suppose as long as the programmers are ACTUALLY equally skilled it would be fine, but from what I've actually experienced in the real programming world, the C++ programmers are generally all fairly experienced skilled programmers who write effective efficient code. With Java programmers, I have seen quite the opposite, sure there are those experienced skilled programmers who could compete, but a LOT of Java programmers even ones with equal 10-12 years of experience, suck monkey balls at actually writing efficient code. Instead they write code that's JUUUST good enough. That said I know a number of people in the HFT market and the programming languages are ALL over the place, sure some of them are in Java and some are in C++, but there's not any one dominating language: there's plenty of Python, Scala, Perl, Groovy, and probably every language you can image. I believe Perl is actually still the biggest language because a lot of the financial analysts can actually write it directly and so do stuff that the front end systems don't normally allow.

  25. No point on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1, Insightful

    There's no point in comparing the two. There's almost 0 crossover between what they are developing for except for a few Node.JS and C++ developers and even those are pretty rare.
