Mozilla lets cabals on Twitter call the shots over tech brains. Mozilla doesn't need to survive as a corporation after that blunder. They should downsize and just provide the browser and thunderbird as open source projects. Rescind wha

I do agree to owning up sincerely, and reiterate your startup's goals and the value you bring. Don't let professional agitators control the frame, recast their attacks.

If a good team nails the guidelines down before hand on which idioms they plan to use and stick to them, yeah. That is a rare qualifier to meet in my experience, many teams will be ecstatic about scala. Many times we'd be hiring java

Grammar ends up becoming a problem on a few fronts. I highly recommend Principles of Compiler Design [1]. One safe rule of thumb is, as grammar and rules expand, the performance and simplicity of the compiler begin to deteriorate, partic

Writing something in scala feels like a waste to me. If they were to narrow the grammar of the language down, compiler time would decrease and the code rot situation would be much better. Instead, teams that want to grow big in scala have t

I boycotted firefox after the Brendan Eich affair. Mozilla is supposed to be a symbol of the hacker ethic. When they bent to the whims of social media lynch mobs - they betrayed the one who literally built the foundation of their existence.

The license is the biggest crippling factor with Linux. It makes any sort of sharing of the source code with permissive projects or commercial involvement tedious. It's a hackers dream, if you're in college and you want all code t

In my opinion, it's about drugs and cultural undertones that drugs are permissive, that you can be the "druggie guy", and to some, it's hip and cool. I blame the intelligentsia. Try the scenario when you're in a low

That's the fallacy of the GPL. It's less about privacy (YOU Vs big brother) and more about people feeling entitled to free software. All the time. And now it's too far - you're trying to bankrupt people who aren't
