Nah, he's right. When your skills get "sufficiently advanced" and your needs spread into the more esoteric corners of the house of horrors, you run into even more half-done, half-assed, all-broken aspects of the language.
To this day, I'm not quite sure what the point was in implementing an SSL API that has no way to check for certificate revocation (the whole point of certificate-based security)...
HTML/CSS define content & presentation. They do not "program behaviour".
Back when I had to explain this to some students I was tutoring, I basically said that HTML and CSS aren't programming languages, they're input.
They seemed to understand it after that (they were, apparently, a lot sharper than what passes for slashdotters, these days)
The people who watched it have already extracted all of the joy they can
Not even close. I still pull it out every six months or so and spend a week re-watching it.
Debatable, the takeaway I had from the show was that the Psi-Corps was largely responsible for [Clark's rise to power].
Check out "Matters of Honor" (S03E01) and "Voices of Authority" (S03E05). At the end of the former, it's revealed that Morden (faceman for the Shadows) is conspiring with PsiCorps and members of the Senate. In the latter, the communication Ivanova intercepts reveals that the Shadows, via Morden again, set up the assassination.
I long thought that Sony should have gone enterprise with a very large screen (close to 8 1/2 x 11 as possible) for reading legal documents, documentation, and basically the size that every PDF is aimed at.
I wonder if my favorite bug/misfeature will make the cut and be enshrined forever, because it's *fun* when a successful database instruction throws an exception.
Same story, with the addendum that my obvious lack of interest hasn't stopped them from spamming me every 3-6 months to try to sign up again.
It's urban black culture that disparages intellect.
It's hardly limited to that.
* The 20% of the country's land area called "the bible belt", especially the more rural chunks of it fit neatly into that box.
* Enough of the boob-tube watching population that it's a trope second only to "oafish husband-father/long-suffering wife-mother."
* All of Washington DC.
Had a Nexus 5 for about a week. Couldn't stand it. I'll keep an eye out for the OnePlus One, and keep my old Evo 4G alive until then. Thanks
GoG customer, are you?
Oddly, it's not just from hibernation. After four years, I'm still having that same bug myself, and my desktop doesn't hibernate. I have to bounce the network interface to fix it.
I always assumed it had something to do with constantly having a VirtualBox VM running.
All of which may be true (or not, anecdotes suck that way), and still don't change the fact that they're not programming languages.
As far as I'm concerned, Privacy Badger is a non-starter for the same reason Adblock Plus is: Once you open the door to the idea that there are "legitimate" ad providers, you've blown your credibility.
Did you know that you can buy high end phones with Cyanogen as the default OS?
I didn't. Which phones? I've never been able to get a decent experience from cyanogen on a phone (My Nook color and tablet are a different matter) because the lack of the little "optimizations" individual to the phone models usually ends up breaking something like voicemail, battery life, or actually detecting a cell signal.
If someone's putting out an actual CM out of the box, I might want to have a look at it.
These are showing up more often lately. Does slashdot even use any Bayesian content filtering?
