What software are you running that gets less then 100 usages before it gets retired? >Great aproach Unironically better, then trying to make prescriptions as broad and general as possible, because those usually are too generic to carry a

This is not moving a goalpost. Running a program less then 100 times total, across all its user, is just very little for anything that could be considered commercial. That really isn't a controversial statement. So I am simply excludi

I'm pretty sure even those basic two, of performance and stability are extreemely undervalued, when you objectively look at how fast modern hardware is and yet how easy it is to find slowness simply in using devices in a day to day env

This is false. Its just that the costs of low quality code are much less obvious and harder to measure then the dev time. But the ammount of bad code just piles on itself over and over and over and we end up in a world where hardwares becom

Nothing you mentioned is an inherent problem with the databases. In fact, databases have arguably more potential to solve these problems then any currently used system. Like debugging - if every memory access is a database access, then you

>In Rome do as the Romans do. Cultural norms differ by countries and should be respected. Only to a degree where those cultural norms are acceptable.

If that software is mine and I control who can use it? I absolutely do have the (practical) right to impose those values, yes.

Slavery was decided to be good, until it wasn't. Morality doesn't exist and everything that is law is good by definition? What are you even saying

I would call that stupid because I don't agree with that view, but yes, he would have a right to not sponsor countries that have legal abortion. So what?

You are free to say what you want, and I'm free to take what you are saying into consideration when deciding what in what interaction I will or won't engage with you. What's the contradiction here?

This type of discussions are about what should be , not about what is . Your comment doesn't add anything. In fact, it does about as much sense as randomly stating "water is wet". Technically true, but so what?

You can also judge if a given law is moral or valid, and take actions based on that. PSF has some moral views and they believe in some standards regardless of given country's law. Why are you so fixated on that?

>software should not be tied to politics. Why not? I mean, software is a product like any other. I for example wouldn't like if a group like ISIS was using my software, especially if they were using it to actively help them in comm

You don't need LGBT hunt squads. All you need is the fact that a gay couple holding hands or kissing publicly is unsafe. "Then just don't kiss publicly". Sure, hiding one's sexuality isn't that hard, especial

That's literally how any 'anti-state' action works, ever. Does an individual Russian have a say in what Putin does in Ukraine? Probably not. But countries are a collection of its citizens. The only way to 'punish'

I'd argue that having a disdain for everyone and everything is actually an upside, and while I won't expect such aproach to become mainstream, I definitely appreciate it as a niche possibility

That's exactly the idea. They even plan to release the source for the engine for the game as the 'example' project along with the language.
