I disagree that engineering is the best approach to writing software. I think this is the fundamental difference between people who prefer static vs dynamic typing. People who prefer static typing are more likely to say…
I was going to say the GNU version of /bin/false and /bin/true, but I actually took a look at the source and it is terrible.
If I were you I'd send them a cease and desist letter
Perhaps most safety problems. But if you need to outrun an erupting volcano, a tsunami, or the police, slowing down won't really help you.
Yes but iOS 11 was really slow. Does it run faster than iOS 6?
Instead of cartesian coordinates, you could just program it using polar coordinates. And ring buffers.
I also bought the iPhone X on day one, but I had to get rid of it, I really hated the notch. Also didn't like the aspect ratio of the display, it's getting way too vertical. For me, it's like living in a room where one…
It's like being a chef but not wanting to eat the food you cook. For example, a lot of people want their salmon cooked extremely well done, when you as the chef, think this is wrong, but this is what the customer wants,…
No. No. No. Yes.
> If we believe that self-driving cars are inevitable I am a programmer and I would never ever get in a self-driving car if I had a choice. I don't trust other programmers, I don't know if a backdoor has been put in by…
So if I said one of the following: a) "Brandon, imagine that I f* your wife..." b) "Brandon, imagine if I cut off your arms and legs one at a time..." c) "Brandon, imagine if you shot yourself in the back of the head...…
I can't express how wrong this response is. Term limits are necessary, there should be no such thing as a "career politician". A politician should be required to have actual skills, and not just a nice smile. Experience…
Do you realize that many "scientists" are paid to generate and publish research that supports a specific outcome, for political purposes? You should do your own research on climate change and come to your own…
I don't think retail is a bad job. I would hate to be stuck at a computer all day writing code and dealing with non-technical managers and clients. Someone who works a job where they receive consistent tips can make a…
Plus there's no way I'm trusting my life to some idiot programmer.
This is bowling?
I have to say, I found his comment that it was a PHP shop funny, but your response asking 'why is that funny' is even more funny
I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but you can use 'xdotool windowresize 0xabcd 1920 1080' to resize an arbitrary window, 'xdotool windowmove 0xabcd 0 0' to move a window, and you can use 'xwininfo -root…
If we're talking climate change, you'd need to go back tens of thousands / millions of years to see if recent fires are out of the norm, with recent being defined as 10,000 years or so.
I definitely agree with you. The way that I write Objective-C is to use 'id' for everything and have as few classes as possible, mostly I just add methods to the existing classes mainly NSString, NSArray, and…
The ones in between the arguments. The beauty of sending a message to an object has been replaced with a function call with a horrible syntax. I guess that's what makes Swift a modern language.
Yup. Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson were able to figure that one out. It can't be that hard. They were under a lot of pressure as well.
It's true. Climate change really is modern day religion. A volcanic eruption is more likely to cause the climate to change. The war on climate change suggests that humans are capable of preventing a volcano from…
It can be a bit of a rabbit hole. I wasn't happy with any of the window managers or desktop environments for Linux so I wrote my own. I didn't like the way any of them handled multiple monitors, but it ends up being…
All they need to do is keep the old form factor and update the internals. No redesigns. I've been waiting for a 11" Macbook Air with Retina screen, but I'll never get it. Many people would buy a cheese grater Mac Pro…
