>> Would you quit your job for a guaranteed 20k a year? I wouldn't. Probably yes. I've worked for 25 years. I have a good amount of savings. But not enough to retire on. If you gave me $20k a year I'd have enough to ret

I want a phone that I can modify and change the apps. But not running everything as a web app/javascript.

Lets reinvent everything in javascript no matter how badly...

One reason the value should rise faster than this is that there are a limited amount of bitcoin in circulation. (That is, not help as long term assets). And the number needed for day to day transations is growing very quickly. So it's

I'm just hoping I can get home after work and buy some coins at the price the are now before it goes up again. I feel that this is mostly already discounted in the price, everyone was expecting it. It may drop further but it's no

That reminds me, I keep meaning to delete my linked in account. It literally is of no use to me, all it does is attract spam from useless recruitment agencies.

With the use of link time code generation too, this could be better than expected perhaps?

Sell it now before it becomes obvious that nobody will play their games any more? (if indeed that happens)

Formal verification is all very well, but I find in practice that a lot of the worst problems are specification problems "of course it wasn't meant to do that "

Yeah, best we all go back to caves and lie down and die.

I once did a "shutdown -h now" on a remote server on a customer site with nobody there who knew anything about the server when I'd meant to do a reboot....

Perhaps look at this as "write libraries, not frameworks". And write lot of small independent ones, not one big one, as much as possible

I'm not allergic to dogs I just hate them. This is totally unacceptable behavour by an employer. If this is true I'd want nothing further to do with that company.

I presume this is a spoof. Nobody would want to work in a place with animals wandering around. It's really not an acceptable working environment.

If my understanding is true, then bitcoin isn't really relevant here. They could have been selling hand written money tokens to people that they then used to pay their drug dealer with. The allegations are about intent and money launde

I'm gradually stopping using all of google's services. One by one they either turn out to have "features" like this, or they "improve" them into being horrible. There isn't much left I use any more. And I

Exactly this. I checked all of the do not email me and do not make my profile visible options, and it hardly made a difference. I intend to remove my account too when I get around to it,

In my country (UK) I believe the chance of being killed in either way is so close to zero as being something I can entirely ignore.

by jbb555 13y ago
This is good.... but I do worry slightly that I'd get in my car one day and find some feature I liked had mysteriously vanished overnight or been replaced by something I didn't like. On balance though...good :)

C++ needs something . It's a bit embarrassing when someone used to the standard library from most other languages asks "How do I draw this picture of a cat" or "how do I print 'Hello World!' in red in a welcom

Well the alternative is "If only we all did our jobs less efficiently everyone would be better off". Which is clearly stupid.

This seems reasonable to me. It seems like there was a reasonable reason to suspect that the drive might contain actual information that was needed for a serious crime, and a proper procedure was followed to get a court order to get at it.

The difference is that bitcoin will likely be considerable more useful next month and next year and dogecoin will be a joke you can read about on the internet.

The PC isn't dead. And it's not dying. Will people stop repeating that. Sales have reduced because - 1) Some tasks that never needed a PC people can do on other devices now. 2) People don't need to buy a new one every 18 mont

But.... A steambox is just a standard PC in a nice box suitable for using on a TV. And sure you could probably do some work using steam os if you install applications. Or you could install a more mainstream linux and then install steam whic

I'm not a fan of SPDY at all. HTTP was simple to implement and understand. This is neither. And it matters. The small gains in performance are not worth the complexity.
