Two comments: 1) Valve half-assed the implementation (of course) so that existing mods couldn't be changed to "pay what you want" (a.k.a. donations) unless you deleted and re-uploaded the mod (thus breaking auto-updates for a

If Bethesda/Steam know this feature is coming, they can create tools to help make it actually successful. For example, they can require mod makers to explicitly assign a license to their work before publishing the mod. Even allow e

You're confusing cause-and-effect here. If you're highly-paid, you're also highly-valued and your employer will be far more likely to let you have the latitude to work from home if you want to.

> Incidentally, there's no reason that that is inherently a feature of CLIs. Correct. The problem is cultural, not technological. And there seems to be zero interest in the open source world in fixing (or even improving!) their CLI

The UI is so low-quality I can barely stand it. It looks like someone just took the Git man page and said "let's make a button for every switch! That's our UI!" and plopped it down in the window. There was obviously no d

I develop server apps all day. We don't use Unix servers, we use Windows servers. Which is great, because it means I can use C# which is one of the few programming languages available that actually has competent GUI tools. Your post is

I do ok with text, probably purely due to practice. (Playing MUDs, writing stories, etc.) I've learned what kind of things trip-me-up and carefully read everything twice before hitting submit. To be perfectly honest, the main problem I
