   This assumes they're going to leave enough people alive to even enact vengeance. If they murder everyone, than there's no need to worry about any Gazan revenge; there will be no Gazans.

   The level of "outrage" deliberately exceeds the reasonableness of their position, which strongly suggests they're being sarcastic. - They use "unacceptable" twice in a row, which sounds exaggerated. - Likewise with

   Pretty sure they're being sarcastic.

   Really cool article. I'm not sure about one point, though. > In the Torah, both Noah and Job are treated as pious men, but critically, neither are Israelites. Making Daniel part of the trio implies he was also a righteous non-Jew. D

   As a daily Zotero user, not really. The nicest thing I can say about it is, it has plugins and is FOSS. Maybe the new 7.0 release will blow me away, but I've been waiting for it to get out of beta forever. More fundamentally, we need t

   Not as mad as imagining that everyone without a car does this onerous strawman version of your errand.

   Reminds me of this exchange from the bank robbery scene in Raising Arizona: As Gale and Evelle bang in through the door. Evelle holds a shotgun; Gale holds a shotgun in one hand and Nathan Jr. in his car seat in the other.

    I'm gonna go with "a hyperbolic, but potentially-necessary corrective to the mass cargo-culting of dev practices only appropriate to global-scale organizations, with a possibly egotistical amount of clickbait self-promotion"

    I'm not asking for evidence about the author . I'm asking, is there any scientific research into the matter in general ? If there was any research on the matter, it wouldn't be "purely a personal preference". If t

    I really love the trend of simply restating what an article argues against without addressing the actual article's points. I had an exhausting discussion on Reddit about why storing UTC is not always sufficient from commenters who cont

    I'm not telling the author what to do; I'm asking for the rest of us if there's any evidence one way or the other.

    Is there any evidence for or against this? Or is it just vibes?

    The article does take its time, but it gets there. Had you kept reading, it would have gotten into more specific criticisms.

    Cory Doctorow is an established and prolific author of over 20 years. Pretty sure he's not changing his writing style for people with short attention spans who mislabel things as clickbait.

    A light introduction that then segues into background material on a complicated legal topic is not clickbait.

    I have mixed feelings about this, because I've seen both sides intimately. There are definitely parents of assholes, and parents who screwed up but won't be forgiven, for sure. But I've also seen deeply narcissistic parents h

    Someone shared what I was looking for! It's called Attribution-Based Economics, it pays out to all contributors based on some measure of relative contribution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xnppM6GG9Q https:/&

    Well, did you pay out 0.1% of the profits? I'm not picking on you, FOSS projects aren't really set up for anything like shared revenue yet, and almost nobody's thinking about it. But in the future, monetized FOSS projects nee

    It's a sad irony that CLAs essentially put the project owner in the exact same position as the unicorn that screwed them over, by screwing over those downstream who make contributions, if/when they monetize the project. I came acr

    The LGPL, which the author tried, is not the AGPL, which might have been a larger roadblock to the freeriding unicorn.

    Gentrifiers are usually outsiders, not original residents going upscale. That's why I don't think that bands that went from punk to new wave support the author's theory. I wasn't talking about college as a marker of clas

    Parts of this article are a little ignorant, in particular the way New Wave is framed as a "gentrifier" of punk. For starters, some of the more ambitious punk bands became New Wave: Wire went from raw punk to brilliant new wave,

    And what about the housing stock of the 80's, which is when the article argues the gentrification forces started? Not sure if your comment applies here.

    Huh. I think that info should be more prominently displayed. Just a few minutes ago, I decided to put off trying guix until later because it had fewer packages than nix, and was missing several that I need, that nix has.
