I'm no grade A programmer. Yes, I know all the sorting algorithms and graph theory and all that. I can work effectively in a continuous development scrum based environment. I know .net and all the popular browser stacks. I can engi

I love what DDG represents and I try it first just to show my support. But, if I can't find what I'm looking for I activate VPN, open an incognito window and search with Google. Civilian OPSEC is painful. But I refuse to give u

The problem is being worked on: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/linux/how-install-ubuntu-t... Ubuntu touch. Apparently only works on Nexus 4, 10, and 7 for now.

Not only that, but if the modem is compatible they can theoretically be used as actual cell phones as well. They are multi-dimensional in function. And finally, if a budget can be acquired for education, a simple Bluetooth IO device can gi

I wonder about doing this with older Android phones. Once rooted they are powerful platforms with multi-core processors and every wireless tech imaginable pre-integrated. They are insanely power efficient as well. I guess the point is to

If you remember this, then you also probably remember IBM's 4Mb token ring. Talk about proprietary. Even the cables used really weird and proprietary connectors.

I worked on those. Anything was better than Arcnet. The painful part was dealing with the "frozen yellow cable". Really thick and unwieldy stuff.

The speed of the compiler! What an amazing environment. If they had continued to evolve with the tech industry they would have been gods.

You sound like me. 15 years old and Turbo Pascal was a mind blowing experience for me. Especially in the graphics arena. UCSD physics department hired me to convert their particle collision vector data (Monte Carlo calculations) into a 3

I was going to say the same. The move to open source .net is brilliant. I wonder if some enterprising company will try to convert .net into asm.js so we can run it in the browsers.

This is one variation of a particular line of research. Sexual orientation vs testosterone would be another good one. Getting periodic testosterone readings before long term relationships and then after would be even better to develop a t

One solution is technology. Trap evaporated water and recycle it. Invest in high performance hydroponics. There are so many solutions to flood farming that no one bothers to invest in because the water is essentially free to them.

I remember when I first installed Omega for the PC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_%28video_game%29 I thought it was the greatest game ever made at the time. However, it was too easy to optimize and win. If I

If a medical researcher says that a chemical has potential benefit to alleviate suffering, then it's NOT up to politicians to decide if they can. Obviously, that's my opinion and it's not shared by American politicians.

It is. And that kind of obsession can lead to disasters for human relationships. It's very complicated. I'm sure if there was a way to have sex with their startups they would.

IF this turns out to be malignant and requires chemo, avoid stress if at all possible. Also consider going on a high food value diet (tons of veggies) with natural high fiber powders. Exercise. I'm not saying any of this will help wi

Congrats for making it through the valley of death unscathed. When I finish a massive project I descend into depression for months. I can't move. Then, I come out and am ready to give birth to the next great idea. Frankly, you landed

He's hetero and women are the object of his intimate love. It's natural for him to attach female gender to the focal points of his love. In other words, if you respect LGBT rights, you also have to respect hetero rights. Not mak

Number 11 is unbelievably devious. I wonder how many compilers are OK with that? ----------------------------------------------- Use accented characters on variable names, e. g. --typedef struct { int i; } ínt; where the second ínt’s í is

In all fairness, they didn't kill off Silverlight. Apple did. Their refusal to allow alternative managed code browser plugins killed both Silverlight and Adobe plugins. And in retrospect it's probably a good thing. The securit

Wait, what? I thought XAML was dead. I have quite a bit of investment into Silverlight and did some WPF desktop apps years ago. I thought all that was a total waste of my time. It's not dead? This is...cautiously good news. I lov

For me, it was the exact opposite. I was self employed for about 15 years and decided to take early retirement as a full time employee. It's amazing. Vacation time. Full benefits. Profit sharing. Dedicated A/R and A/P ac

If you don't see the difference between the bare metal assembly of the late 70's and a modern compiled OO language, I doubt we could even have a meaningful conversation.

by FrankenPC 11y ago
That is pretty amusing. I'm pretty sure we can file this concept under Information Theory. From the perspective of a programmer who's watched the industry grow from bare metal assembly to advanced languages like C# and Java, I&#x
