  • When the company's CEO cares more about cutting employees' bonuses than saving money and reporting more cost-saving measures to the board.

  • Mmm. The protagonist could be manlier. He's too well-shaven for an action movie with explosions.

  • It was pretty smart marketing move. Business people hear 'dot net' and nod wisely. Tech people hear 'dot net' and scrunch their faces. Either way people keep talking about Microsoft Java.

  • A quick -Werror=format -Werror=format-nonliteral -Werror=format-security will solve all your printf woes.

  • I can't use the new MS Office with butchered menu. LibreOffice is more similar to the classic MS Office than MS Office itself.

  • My wife is using Galaxy A01 Core. This phone was outdated even before it was released. Nevertheless, there were no other options below 5.7 inches, and it cost around $200.

    And no, she won't pay $700 for a new phone (or allow me to pay for it).

  • It's not the same without two little screws jangling about

  • Did you really just reposted the only non-Undertaker-related post from u/shittymorph?

  • Are there any new phones or tablets using Tegra SoC? It seems like they are only used in car electronics

  • At this moment, 1 gram of radioactive Nickel-63 costs around 4,000 USD. Nickel-63 isotope does not occur in nature, it is obtained by irradiating Nickel-62 inside a nuclear reactor.

  • Let them munch me. It's not like they are infectious, they were zombified using eco-friendly voodoo ritual, not zombie virus.

  • So what the article says is not supported by my personal experience. Hmmmmm.

    Oh well, it's probably a Silicon Valley specific thing.

  • Terminator: I am bald!

    Sixpaws: cat hat activated!

  • AI has very little effect on my job. When the common task I've given is 'write an ASN.1 parser that will fit into 100Kb flash', AI can only copy code from existing ASN.1 libraries, and both of them are GPL-licensed, so it's no-go for a proprietary firmware.

  • MS Word past 2007 is not MS Word anymore. Microsoft fucked up the menu and the toolbar intentionally, to lock new users into their new fancy user interface with menus-as-buttons. LibreOffice is more MS Word from the usability standpoint than the MS Word 2016. Like, you can select Format - Paragraph and edit your paragraph formatting, all in one dialog, and not search for the right icon out of a hundred pictograms spread evenly over ten dynamic toolbars.

  • One striker to light the lantern - I guess it's black powder powered, would give you 3 seconds of light and a big fluffy cloud of stinky soot. Another striker is to actually fire, if you can aim through the soot cloud. Genius!

  • Lots of geaphs instead of a photo of a hovering piece of metal. And they are more careful with wording, 'possible Meissner effect' is less headline-catching than 'wow we discovered a superconductor'
