Honestly, if you have to post six questions in the span of a day you aren't trying very hard to answer them on your own first. The screenshot only serves to prove my point for me.

Don't forget the all important #3; riding a Segway makes you look like a total tool.

How can one kill that which is already dead?

And by "limited cases" I assume you mean "performance critical code"?

That I can agree with.

"the second most powerful office in the country". We are talking about the vice presidency here, correct?

We call this corruption or perhaps incompetence here too. Where people from outside the US get the idea that we're all a bunch of blind, unthinking, flag waving yokels I do not know.

It does? Last I checked my gmail was full of letters to/from my mom and spam. Hardly "everything I do" on the Internet. I also willingly signed up for gmail because, you know, it offers a service that is useful for me. Hard to make that ar

Yes, we should all just hold hands, sing kumbaya, and subsist on the gum drops and jelly beans that rain from the sky.

Interesting that you bring up Apple here considering the fact that it's latest products cannot be recycled due to design decisions (I.e., melding the glass display onto the frame)

God forbid we step outside of the "spirit" of dropbox's intended use in order to achieve something highly useful. Yeesh.

It's AMD. I OC and, if you look around OC communities and benchmarks you will find that Intel chips outperform SMD chips in this area consistently.

Eh, I don't know... Have you ever seen some of the code that comes out of academia? Interesting stuff, not usually very robust.

Facebook seems to have no problem crashing Chrome on my three machines.

This is indeed shocking. I cannot recall a time in which I was subjected to using software which contained a bug. I sincerely hope this does not become a trend.

No they didn't, they spent money to rent/watch videos.

And cOmparing NetFlix usage data to a bank statement is ridiculous anyway.

But much of it is, and looking at their past actions regarding their censorship of the Internet, I think it's safe to assume that nothing good will be in this proposal. Sounds to me like you just wish to be a contrarian for no good reason.

Right, sO if it works what does a person's mindset matter?

How is installing a new OS not a user action? Look, if you buy a piece of hardware, install software that damages it, and then expect to get a refund, you're out of your mind. The laptop was not defective, it was broken by the customer.

Though I understand what the author meant, I had to giggle a by when I read "don't use JavaScript... Use a high level language"

Also realize that junior devs often lack the experience needed to distinguish good code from bad and when it Is appropriate to rewrite large parts of an existing application that currently meets the needs of its customers

Yes, but they tend to be relatively trivial (in terms of performance) in comparison to AAA titles.

Well, the operating system you used to write that comment was probably written in C, so apparently it does in fact work in large projects. It has weaknesses to be sure, but I don't think lack of OO (I.e., structs with functions) is one of t

Yeah, it's just too bad that Intel > AMD in terms of chip performance / $ right now.

I wonder if the WSJ would hire me to write about financial issues. I mean, I know nothing about the subject, but apparently that's not relevant.

Do you understand the meaning of the word "anecdotal"?

But we doesn't the second group care? I believe it's simply because they don't know what is out there. Are you claiming that they would t care if they knew that a better alternative existed? I was an early android adopter, I now own an iP
