Nice article about an awful product. I don't eat to live: I live to eat.
vans··on Internet.org Is Not Neutral, Not Secure, and Not the Internet
WOW Huge bullshit on this website (internet.org). The story with Neesha tells us that her father "knows impressive tricks. But let's get Neesha online and see some real magic" OMG, of course, you need internet to live. Of course real life is not as magical as fake facebook friends. Of course, Neesha's father tricks are not as magic as internet... How condescending colonialist shit is this web site ?!
vans··on Evaluation of C, Go, and Rust in the HPC environment [pdf]
80 pages for that, with one user and one implementation of one algorithm ? Sorry but the rate knowledge/size is very low, so don't be impressed by the page number, it harms the paper more than anything else. Even for a bachelor thesis, it's mostly "filling"
vans··on Gotchas from Two Years with Node
"Simple exceptions should be caught using a linter. There’s no reason to have bugs for undefined vars when they could be caught with some basic automation [...} It catches unhandled errors and undefined variables before they even get pushed to production. " And there are people still thinking untyped languages are good for the server...

"Node is good when you're using a linter, when you're writing your back end in go, when you write MASSIVE unit tests..." May be it could be much simpler to use a more suitable langage, no ? Just saying...

vans··on John Carmack: “I just dumped the C++ server I wrote for a new one in Racket”
And that why we (developpers, scientists, ...) hate marketing lessons :p
vans··on John Carmack: “I just dumped the C++ server I wrote for a new one in Racket”
Exactly, and he takes time to consider your replies and reply himself. No hard feeeling, no shitty internet trolling, just peacefull argument. Refreshing !
vans··on Enough's enough: Contract teaching at a Canadian University
In a company he'd get paied for working outside his job schedules. And if the market could find the right price for something, capitalism wouldn't be such a fail.
vans··on First C# 7 Design Meeting Notes
I think it's too late for non null ref types. But pattern matching, traits and built in code contract would be awesome !
vans··on So I need to be sad, bored and happy to be creative
So true ! Always looking for how to be happy/productive/creative and so on instead of being happy/productive/creative !
vans··on US segment of ISS evacuated due to possible cooling system leak
Nice background !
vans··on IBM Launches Z13 Mainframe
Because they are not arguing with scientists but with "decision makers". So bullshit is more important than proven facts... Tanksfully, banks are moving slowly out of mainframes. You'll never find a new business going on a mainframe. Mainframes users are captive, not free.
vans··on iMac with Retina 5K display
Master Xtrem top most over ultimate power. Penta HD 3D dolby monster hugely powerfull master. Chef sergeant ultra hydra peta wonderfull ultimately bestest. ... To the max ! ...

throw up

vans··on Source code for the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer
WOW ! << Do not use direct or indirect recursion. Do not use dynamic memory allocation after task initialization. >>

I think they should use COBOL, it's built in :)

vans··on Vessyl, the smart cup that knows exactly what you're drinking
OMG, At least a device to tell me when i'm thirty ! I'm just waiting for another device to tell me when i'm hungry and then, i could replace my brain, stomac and body by stupid pieces of hardware. That's the product i was looking all my life, for sure ! ...
vans··on Half-Life 1 engine based games
Quake, a slow game ?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HUsdNEaKMk
vans··on Why I like Java
you should consider using Scala on android. works really well for my projects.
vans··on What Dreams May Come
Sorry if i seem to be rude, but even if you're dying, you're still a human being and i will respect you. So, i won't be full of mercy and so on, i'm just going to be genuine. Your story is sad, as the story for million of people dying from this shit. But, if i help you, maybe i'd be ok with my conscience but this won't change anything for the 999 999 people remaining. If i choose to give money to fight against cancer, it would be for research and not for a particular case (even if it's sad). That being said, i truly understand that emotion and love drive me to give you some money, but i have to stay efficient and fair.
vans··on Our daily work as web developpers. Time to open our eyes... And cry.
Fun and humor, in a sad world :-)
