They are all useful. Functional: reducing side-effects improves potential for concurrency; Object-Oriented: create a new type and overload operators to make it feel like the abstract mathematical idea it represents; Procedural: subroutines

Because for those who don't understand or explore other paradigms their skillset is limited. There is a lot to be learned in concurrency domain from functional paradigms. Take a look at intel threading-building-blocks which is a modern

At this day and age people should be familiar with multiple paradigms. Whether procedural, functional, or Object-Oriented they are all useful. This is why you see languages like C++, Java, and C# adding support for them all. It is useful to

Where does one go to learn about such things? Is it economics? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Heat flows from a warm system to a cold system. That was random thought lol. But, I thought they thought it flowed backwards because their direction was backwards. Similar to how electron charge is negative so it flows backwards cnceptually

Hmm. Yeah lol I never run it actually. Still though, if I was writing some malware first question I would ask is how to hide it from people.

Funny the binary has the strings embedded in them. You'd think they'd at least make it better at hiding itself. You could just do "strings <binfile>" to find them "We are Anonymous. All your servers will be DD

In addition to the .net core push seems a likely candidate to unify things (xamarin, .net core in Linux, etc...)

Nowadays more like: Her genetic makeup is abc so she's prone to disease xyz. Use fear tactic and she'll be at your doorstep begging for a cure. Disgusting, but captures the information age in a nutshell..

A lot has to do with the fact that most of these devices are novelties. Save for smart thermostats (can save money on heating bill), or simple efficiency-boosting products, life is generally easier without the added complexity of an interco

new job: rage against the machine. Joke aside, it's funny all the Uber drivers are collecting data for a company that is going to replace them with AI cars..

Exactly, which is why they can't just switch it back. But people are on the attack about something so trivial. For anyone who needs "the de-facto curl or wget" then create a custom alias or re-assign the old one. It's a

They have been on there, but not as standard Windows components. Perhaps they had lofty goals to replace the tools with a "better" version and changed direction.

by wangchow 10y ago
How is it wrong to put an alias when wget and curl are not standard Windows applications? Sure a lot of people use them but it's easy enough to create a new alias. Don't people have better things to do than bitch about an alias?

by wangchow 10y ago
Wow people are too lazy to simply create a new alias to the Curl/Wget that they want.. What's the world coming to.

Over the past year I've noticed a lot of things mysteriously getting installed, things moving around, etc. I don't mind automatic updates so long as there's a separation from the new features and bug fixes. There should be a

It's going to hit them on the SEO-front. Comments = click-through.

A lot of it has to do with the sloppy tricks people are trying to implement to get multimedia ads and whatnot on their sites. We are bombarded with ads in our day-to-day life and people's attention is more-and-more difficult to grab. U

Hence the communist manifesto dropped 200 years too early. Countries that use communism are far too early at adopting the philosophy because it requires production to exceed consumption on a massive scale. The hybrid model in mixed capitali

The form-factor for laptop screens are built for media consumption, even though the square form-factor is superior for productivity (I found an old Sony Vaio and the screen form-factor felt very pleasant). Seems the general consumption of m

Id rather see an AI that is smarter than humans. People are trying to make human-like entities but lets think outside the box a little more.

Humans seem to be created cheaply and indefinitely too. Population is growing out of control. We could attach them to pods and harvest energy from their souls!

However, want and need are very different. I may desire an app, but not having it can make me better off. For instance, look here at the selfie deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injurie...

Honestly I use the app-gap as a feature. Not having the fluff is great because snapchat is making people illiterate. We went from real words to abbreviations to no words and minimal attention span. On the other hand now that Uber and bank o
