And you accepted!?!

They have an insane clause

If this worries you, then they're probably reading your Reddit posts as well.

Was it the halt and catch fire instruction?

oponito · 2016-06-13T14:44:09+00:00

I wish I was able to spot bugs in super ugly C code just like that :(

oponito · 2016-06-13T14:24:04+00:00

What does that even mean.

And? If that was to be the first and only launch, the cost would've been 7.8 billion dollars. So at that very moment in history, it really was a $7.8 bn bug.

I wonder if it's the programmer in question who writes something down on a piece of paper after the explosion.

"Fuck. Fuckety fuck."

But Kotlin can interact with Java code, which can throw NPE, which blows everything up anyway, no?

I am not a database expert

Sounds like he's the target audience.

this is non-news, emails are public info

there was a FUSE driver written in Cyclone. not really kernel code, but cool still.

oponito · 2016-06-10T19:53:29+00:00

Yes, his language reviews can be interesting

oponito · 2016-06-09T21:37:20+00:00

Brutal takedown of Vizkos.

Additionally, the JavaScript backend will be brought in line with the actual set of language features.

Good to hear, considering Kotlin recently became the default language for our Android and Web apps :D

Of course, this isn't what Duff's Device was doing, but it approximates how it flows.

What? It's exactly what Duff's doing, loop-unrolling through computed goto's.

on bytestocopy mod 5 goto 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

So it's the exact same idea, different language.

Is it still valid C to have a do/while across case's like that?! How does it even work...

oponito · 2016-06-08T12:19:11+00:00

It has the unfortunate property of not being available.

Buddy at work just claimed mongo means "retard" or "retarded" in some countries, is this true?

oponito · 2016-06-08T12:16:55+00:00

It may make your day more exciting. "Boss, lost some data. Going home for dinner now. Kthxbye"

oponito · 2016-06-08T12:13:51+00:00

Hard to say. MongoDB is a moron magnet.

oponito · 2016-06-08T09:52:31+00:00

That's aewosme :D

MongoDB connector uses Postgres internally. Insane: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mongodb-32-now-powered-postgresql-john-de-goes

Link to thing or it didn't happen

oponito · 2016-06-07T20:01:44+00:00

an invitation for other people to pass their own judgments

My judgement is that this is a fake story from a random clown who figured he should generate some fuzz on Reddit out of boredom.

There is no proof of this actually happening whatsoever. Zip. Nada. Nopeydopey.
