ASneakyFox··on Do physicists really believe in true randomness?
I don't understand how the photon thing proves randomness. How did they generate random angles?

I feel like the expirement is saying "we generate random numbers then prove random exists". Ok and a horse is a horse.

ASneakyFox··on Can you hear me now? No, I don't have that app
Some one get this guy an email account.
ASneakyFox··on Don't use assembly unless you're an expert
Percentages are for suckers. If you're not optimizing your code with actual use cases then you're just wasting your time. Id say 90 percent of code any one would ever write would not provide any benefit if it "ran faster".

No one will ever know or care that a 5ms operation only takes 2ms because of how "savvy" you are. No one knows or cares what language you used. Its just a program.

If you can produce a working program in a high level language but chose to use a low level one.... whyy?

ASneakyFox··on Delete your code
If you use an ide it will tell you if a function is being used in the project or not.
ASneakyFox··on Multithreading: C# vs. Java
Out dated information for both languages.. even if it was up to date.. why do they need to be compared?

I feel like this is a sign that books are on the verge of extinction.
ASneakyFox··on When Everyone Wants To Watch 'House Of Cards,' Who Pays?
I thought this was covered in my internet bill. You know network communication... if that was supposed to be free all this time some one let me know because then Ive got to call the police because some one has been scamming me out of 50 bux every month for the past 2 decades. I suspect there are more victims.
ASneakyFox··on Should "Yes, delete it" be red, or green?
Please do not randomly change buttons. Thats the worst idea ever. Where does this guy do his research?
ASneakyFox··on Box files for $250M IPO on full-year revenue of $124M, net loss of $168M
What is box? What do they do? Why do I care that they are losing money? (Though I seem to already have figured out WHY)
ASneakyFox··on Nothing to Hide: A linguistic approach to email privacy
Uh. You SHOULD be raising your kids like this. There's a reason we're all using aliasis here and not some thing more specific like our names or addresses or our social security number.
ASneakyFox··on Povio, the polite photo app that students love, joins YC’s winter batch
I still don't get how this is different from just texting.. I must be too far out of the loop on this stuff.
ASneakyFox··on Why I like Java
what exactly is the problem? you cant just make up problems and ridicule the code for not solving them when the coder had no idea he was supposed to be solving them.

This solution (and whatever solution you might have in mind) likely both dont solve all sorts of problems. for instance what if there is a power failure and you lose all the output? is it persisting to disk? what if new input methods that arent even thought of it come to exist 5 years from now, is it compatible with that?

ASneakyFox··on Basecamp System Status – why DDoS?
Your average mom and pop a shop probably uses shared hosting though. You can't really extort them you'd have to extort godaddy or whomever.
ASneakyFox··on Why I like Java
There is no one solution fits all. Especially if the problem is imaginary.
ASneakyFox··on Why I like Java
This post is nerdbait. Not hn material.
ASneakyFox··on How are cold-calling ceasefires illegal?
This marks the decline of hn. Experiment over I guess. Now where do I go for news?

ASneakyFox··on Study: Women Who Can Do Math Still Don’t Get Hired
I think the issue is more of just the wrong connection that good schooling = good job. schooling just gives you a certificate of completion. job skills are something you do on your own time.

If you give a girl out of highschool a scholarship and say "hey go get some As then youll get a great job in an otherwise male dominated field" you have then just then totally misguided them.

The major factors in landing a job are 1- actual skills (which you cant learn in school) 2- personal connections in the field youre interested in.

Women who break "the barrier" and get a job in a male dominated field are the ones who are actually in the field and have an actual interest in it. rather than just "well i went to school and majored in X".

Univsersities really need to stop trying to sell themselves as the first step of your career or your entry way in to the work force. thats what a trade school does for you. a university is just a most expensive form of browsing google or wikipedia and getting a general idea of a bunch of stuff.

my resume is a little on the exageration side. mainly so that when hiring managers read my resume and assume i'm lying they'll hopefully end up with a picture of me thats about at the right place.

Also I think that appearing to be better than you really are is a skill that companies are interested in having on their work force. So being frank and transparent could possibly work against you, especially if the hiring manager knows youre being frank and transparent.
