There's also nothing professional about irrational hatred of a platform, or having the need to complain about another's choice of platform.

- stefantalpalaru 11y agoWhat's irrational about disliking an environment hostile to developers? When you you do robotics, you want full control over the software, so the natural fit is some Linux variant, not OS X or iOS.
- pjmlp 11y agoHostile to FOSS developers you mean. Many of us don't have any issues with comercial vendors.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoMany of you have no issues with the lack of quality in your work.
- pjmlp 11y agoActually, I am the opinion all types of software should suffer the same legal penalties and quality control that other industries have in place.
- s73v3r 11y agoI could say that far more about FOSS developers. Many of them operate under the idea that they bear no responsibility for the software they write, and as such, have no impetus toward quality.
- s73v3r 11y agoYeah, no. I've never bought the "hostile to developers" argument. Try again. "When you you do robotics, you want full control over the software" And OS X gives me this.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoMaybe you don't realize that "software" includes the kernel. Is it even possible to do a real-time fork of it like people did with RTLinux, RTAI and Xenomai? Of course it's not, because OS X gives you shit and you invested so much in it already that you have to convince yourself that it tastes good.
