It should be mentioned that it normally only occurs when well trained people stop working out for a couple of weeks and then get into it again at full speed.

If you are used to working out hard, you won't get rhabdomyolysis.

So if you're pretty fit but stopped working out for a while, get into it with moderation!

To everyone else: don't be scared of rhabdomyolysis and work out!

>I started to realize that assembly language was real programming. BASIC was just an imitation of programming.

That's exactly why I couldn't be happy if I only knew some high level languages like Java / Python / C#.

After learning an assembly language and C I feel much more comfortable using any other language. You know the real thing.

I think it's a useful program. Keeping it in mind.

> So what went wrong? The short answer is: a lot more people logged on than we expected. More people played and played in ways we never saw in the beta.

How can the play style of people have such an impact on the servers?

Sure there could have been people spamming buildings in order to produce high traffic. But that's sounds like an unlikely exceptional case.

moccajoghurt | 13 years ago | on: What Is Java, Is It Insecure, and Should I Use It?

Thanks for explaining. The reasons sound quite obvious and I feel a little silly for asking in the first place.

moccajoghurt | 13 years ago | on: What Is Java, Is It Insecure, and Should I Use It?

Why do corporations spend resources in mounting the JRE to their devices? Wouldn't it be much simpler to use the instruction set of the hardware and write stuff in C / Assembly?

I am asking because my first language was Java and after learning C / gnu AS it feels much more comfortable to actually have control over the resources you are using than relying on the magic the JRE does for you.

Good one.

Coding is an incredibly frustrating and hard path and I doubt that coding will become more popular on a professional level. There probably can be more hobby programmers that code some simple stuff but there is NO WAY coding can become some kind of popular mainstream hobby.

I hear a lot of people complaining about that very often. I can't remember the last time I had sound in my browser without my knowledge. Maybe it's because most people don't use adblocker?

I have no clue.

Just keep reddit away from Hacker News. Reddit is a horrible place right now and there is no reason to copy it.

And now my day has been ruined.

Coding stuff for shits and giggles is the spirit that makes a good programmer.

"Your house is not fire-proof, that's why I burned it."

Congratulations for proving your point by destroying other people's work.

Seriously that's nothing you would expect from a thoughtful person.

> The only thing that scratches it is a diamond.

Too bad since their target market is probably in possession of a lot of diamonds.

I wonder how this post got to the top even though the sentiment in the comments is that this posts sucks.

moccajoghurt | 13 years ago | on: Fox News: "Prime numbers have very little mathematical significance"

He just phrased it unclear.

He should have written it like that:

>2 multiplied by itself 57,885,161 times (written mathematically as 2^57,885,161) - 1

Game Development without using WebGL seems like a waste of resources.

moccajoghurt | 13 years ago | on: In Defense of "The Big Bang Theory"

Exactly my thoughts. The whole discussion is childish and doesn't belong here.

moccajoghurt | 13 years ago | on: In Defense of "The Big Bang Theory"

The author obviously feels humiliated by the show. What annoyed me about this post is how much time the author spends on pointing out how "cruel" TBBT is treating him and his fellow nerds. At one point I even got angry how sensitive he is. People make fun of geeks, get over it. I am under the impression that he wrote himself in some kind of rage and lost track of realism after a while.

TBBT is not supposed to defend geeks / nerds it's supposed to make the majority of people laugh and it succeeds.

His points are valid but his sentiment is over the top.

moccajoghurt | 13 years ago | on: "Most of you steal your software"

Don't review the letter from today's perspective.

Bill Gates didn't know that his work will spread over the world and he will become one of the richest persons alive.

He didn't know that there will be a huge open source community in the future, where it is normal to develop software for free.

All he knew is that he was working fulltime on something for three years and wasn't payed for it.

For me this letter is just a snapshot of the past with an understandable point of view.
