Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be coders, Jensen Huang warns

Rob 63

Given that we need multiple months and iterations to tease out requirements that were never stated at the outset, I very much look forward to this process that will understand the clients vague poorly thought out 'requirements', and then perform the miracle of generating usable code and deploying in the correct place without any issues! Doesn't sound like a pipe dream at all, just like my various 'smart home assistants' do everything I ask of them! Siri play that song that i've listened to a thousand times, 'Im sorry I couldn't find x by y in your library' *manually finds and plays song via phone* siri what's this called ? 'this is x by y' , ah yes, so the exact thing you just said doesn't exist then

Inspiring

Of course real artists exist in a vacuum and create works out of pure nothingness having never experienced anyone else’s work

I like running php in sublime and using a generator to iterate over csvs and spit out another file, i'm weird like that

buttons?!

with one press on a smartphone?! who wants to have to do that? can it not use location based awareness with a sufficient degree of accuracy that it unlocks as i arrive at my front door? one of my favourite things about my hue system is the way my hallway turns on at night (it is quite dark near my door)

obviously just pray no one ever finds out you have this system or they only have to steal your phone to also gain entry to your entire house and not even be caught on video nicking it all

Re: Snowflake, much?

Ah what a surprise that you conveniently omit the critical details of quite /why/ Ms Southern did that.....

To fb it matters a lot, I reported blatant terrorist content and they replied saying ‘we understand different people have different opinions so we’ve limited the post you reported to users over 18’

So violence against the majority is completely fine, just a matter of opinion!

PlayStation 4 probs: Gamers struggle with PSVR headset blackouts

Rob 63

This isn't specific to the pro, I have had blackouts of audio and video for up to a couple of seconds with varying regularity on my CUH1200 and PSVR since launch, sometimes it will happen once, sometimes it will never happen and ONCE it kept happening again and again every 10-40 seconds until i reset it and it was ok ..... i still bloody love the thing though

Unlock your iPhone, miss your messages

Rob 63

chrrizzzzzz

na, i'm afraid it wasn't actually a question, so apple make a phone, and as part of that phone performing its intended functionality, some operator end stuff needs to be implemented, no problem there, apple are in bed with o2, they can do what they like, so they set their stuff up, everythings fine, now 'customer' comes along, gets an iphone off ebay, modified the software on the phone to work on a different op, and then complains it wont work, what are you complaining about, why should, say, t mobile implement hardware they don't offer?! why would they? why would apple bother communicating to t mobile to make a handset they know they don't do, work?! it makes no sense, it's like buying a car thinking, great, i can make this car drive on water, except that was never the intention, the iphone (car) works on o2s network (road) , because the phone and the hardware at the network are made to work with each other (like a car is made to drive on roads) it is not made to run on t mobiles network, nor is t mobiles network designed to work with it (we're talking 100%) obviously some functionality works, because the ops share technologies in that respect, i dont see why they would be obliged to make any phone that exists work 100%, if you mod it and then it doesnt work, big fking surprise, who do you expect to care?!?

Rob 63

so

complaining an iphone doesnt work 100% on a network that doesn't actually offer the iphone..... isn't that a bit like complaining your car won't drive on water, or that windows won't run logic 8

Ofcom coughs 3G coverage maps

Rob 63

3g?!

Screw 3g, I'd like to just be able to make a call thanks,

This month I was charged £96 by o2,

This is because as well as my usual (£45) iPhone tarriff, I was charged about £50 because I apparently send ~900 text messages in a month (Quite how I had the time with such a twatty tiny un usable keyboard, i'm not sure, then again, virtually every message I send requires a follow up because a spastic was left in charge of the dictionary - no, not me, someone at apple)

Yet, despite paying £100 for one month of a service, I was unable to conduct a call from a landline here at a business park, to a mobile belonging to my housemate, in a city centre, without it cutting out every twenty seconds and the last minute of the call was just me hearing him go 'cant hear you' while i say 'GO AND EAT YOUR FKING LUNCH' over and over again

Marvellous technology, well worth the money, and if you can't make a frigging phone call, after all these years, who's to expect to be able to retrieve some data from anywhere special,

utter cak, if everyone weren't so busy whacking off over the pile of pounds they've amassed for no reason other than to whack off over, maybe the human race could progress
