Does anyone ever prints a web page? With dev tools tab open?

Doesn't matter. You don't put up a stop sign then say, "nudge nudge wink wink it actually means no parking".

Microsoft is getting cool; proper shell and now clang front-end. Soon they will open source their kernel and join the favorite club of blakey

I keep hitting Ctrl+P in Visual Studio β which brings up the method parameters quickdoc in IntelliJ β only to mentally slap myself, cancel the printing dialog, and press Ctrl+Shift+Space instead.

WHY WOULD ANYBODY MAKE CONTROL-P DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN PRINT goddamned I hate everything about IT those people shouldn't even be allowed near computers there should be like dobermans barking at them if they try to type into a library computer or some shit gruahsuh

Do you print code often?

Do you print code often?
Control-P is print. It's always print. It's never been not-print. It doesn't matter how often I use it.
If you write an application and assign Control-P to do something OTHER than print you've made a shortcut that is impossible for me to use BECAUSE MY BRAIN HAS CONTROL-P FILED AWAY AS PRINT AND ALWAYS WILL. You might as well not have made the shortcut at all.

Aha! I found a good backdoor ingress then!
Once I find out the places that none of the sensors are watching, it'll be childs play!

I'm sure I used to have an application that used CTRL+P as Preferences. I never used CTRL+P for Preferences. Stupid fucking application

I think they were trying to learn from the past and improve things by making them relevant and not some 1975 throwback.

Hey maybe you should print out the webpage, roll it into a tube, and cram it right up your fat ass.

My ass isn't fat. Really just my belly.

Cram it up something. Whatever, I'm not a pedantic dickweed.

CTRL+P as Preferences
To my knowledge, the VideoLAN Media Player uses CTRL+P for Preferences.
Most sane apps know to use CTRL+SHIFT+P for that.

BUT WHY DOES IT NOT PRINT MY VIDEOS?!

Ah. Well, that requires you to start it with the output tied to Standard Out, tied to (insert printer interface here).
But no, that won't solve the problem of doing so via shortcut... Hmm, conundrum...

Extended Classic: Madame Saturn β A Conversation with Carolyn Porco (Part 2)
The most interesting part for me was this:Carolyn tells the story of meeting JJ Abrams after her famous TED Talk, and how it resulted in the iconic scene in the 2009 reboot of Star Trek where the Enterprise rises out of Titanβs atmosphere. She also tells Neil about her involvement in the production of Contact, including her influence on Jodi Fosterβs character, Ellie Arroway

###How I Used EVE Online to Predict the Great Recession
Guy gains insight into real economy from the EVE online economy (according to him). A larger, more interesting idea is that MMO games might be the experimental playground social sciences like economy or politics never had.

Wow! I wonder if anybody's ever had that id-- OH RIGHT A BILLION PEOPLE.
WOW even did a disease event thing on behalf of the Center for Disease Control, studying something about how mass transit effects disease spread or something I don't remember, it was like back in 2009.
-
Wasn't there something before that with a contagious βdiseaseβ on WOW that spread accidentally, having been created for some sort of special event? I vaguely remember reading about it years ago (when they found out that some people are fucking jerks who would spread the disease to noobs who had no way to resist it). I think it inspired that CDC study.
-
They did it accidentally due to a coding error (a particular effect was supposed to remain only in a particular place, but they forgot to remove it on some of the teleports back to town so it spread in towns.)
Then like 6 months later they did another one on purpose because some researcher asked them to. This is all from memory, I haven't played WOW in ages.

It's OK to feel frustrated and lash out. People are often intimidated by my genius.

I went into that thinking it was gonna be just regular twitter weirdness, and I came out of it thinking the same thing. Twitter pushes around a ridiculous volume of data, and their systems are sharded all to heck. That's a scary story, but Occam's razor says βnopeβ. Especially since its very existence is at odds with the assumption that it relies on. People's ability to notice this shit is at least twice as good as anybody's ability to pull it off.

27 languages to improve your Python by Nick Coghlan
It is actually far more interesting to read than just Python
In truth, we want there to be a rich smorgasboard of cross platform open
source programming languages to choose from, as programming languages are first
and foremost tools for thinking - they make it possible for us to convey our
ideas in terms so explicit that even a computer can understand them. If someone
has found a language to use that fits their brain and solves their immediate
problems, that's great, regardless of the specific language (or languages)
they choose.

###Why Go is a poorly designed language
Articles like this are still coming out pretty regularly.

The broken English and assumption that the reader knows Go made that a bit hard to read

Fail. Self-driving cars must be programmed to plough into the zombie horde, not veer into the lone survivor at the side of the road.
-
I feel this scenario is unnecessarily contrived. Sensor would have detected the hazard quite a long time before potential collision, and in most feasible situations where the best course of action would be to, I don't know... HIT THE BRAKES
Unless we have a history of crowds instantaneously forming in the middle of the road unexpectedly...

Really? How often does this happen? It's been years since I've seen anyone under the age of 18 do anything other than stand around with a broken neck holding rectangular prisms in their hands.

Really? How often does this happen?
We've had to yell at my idiot son and his idiot friends repeatedly recently for playing ball around our street and watching them run after it.
Filed under: Also, shame for not walking to the nearest park (exercise, suckers!) to engage in physical activities in a safe environment.
It's ridiculous...because the nearest park is right behind the house! Literally. Our back fence is right up against it. And another just a couple hundred or so yards away.

Texts? He was carving cuneiform into tablets!
And then putting the tablets on wooden tables and taking pictures of them with his potato phone, and emailing them.

Why Self-Driving Cars Must Be Programmed to Kill
I don't get it. Why would you make something like a self-driving car and program it not to kill? What would be the point of that?

It is mainly the 0th law debate
Certain robots developed the zeroth law as the logical extension of the
First Law, as robots are often faced with ethical dilemmas in which any
result will harm at least some humans, in order to avoid harming more
humans.

People griped about the I, Robot movie with Will Smith, but it was in fact a pretty good demonstration of Asimov's ideas, including the "Zeroth Law".

Apparently a survey thingy?

Why Self-Driving Cars Must Be Programmed to Kill
The only reasonable way to handle this is to leave it as a user setting. Maybe like a little slider, between "protect the car" vs "protect other people". Another one, how many kids should be in the column ahead, before the car veers off into the old guy on the sidewalk.
Best kind of decision- avoid it altogether.
