How about this music chord formation program with a virtual six-string guitar fret that I wrote back in 1999? https://github.com/capr/chordclopedia

wrong: source-available means you can look but you can't incorporate/change/copy-paste/get-inspired-by. "look at this wheel, learn but don't make your own". It's a travesty.

maybe because forcing people or companies (property of people) is wrong?

Ya, can't square the two? Check this out: violence actually works, so should we beat our kids?

As a Romanian, I find this comment funny. To think that Romania improved because of the EU, not because we got rid of communism in 1989 followed by a period of wild west capitalism years before even entering EU. Most EU money in here are wa

"malicious compliance", an euphemism is straight out of 1984

So if you have a headache and you take an aspirin and the headache disappears you're going to conclude it's from the aspirin, right?

so the solution to incompetence is adding more complexity?

Developer value is totally user value. The developer "changes things and publish them faster" for the customer, it's not a hobby.

This. The state only cares about maintaining order in order for itself to survive. Justice is a concern only insofar as it contributes to that goal. You can see this most blatantly in rape cases where the victim is better off not reporting

I've never met a good recruiter. The best ones hire experienced developers to talk to me.

Cobol? Interim where the lead left (probably for good reason)? Sounds brutal.

but has any of this made any of you intelligent middle class people with best access to self-education ever doubt our social organization based on a monopoly on the use of violence in a geographical area?

I always thought that the primary reason that native apps lost to the web was deployment, something that is so easy to fix and yet OS people are completely blind to it.

I agree with everything except 4. It was easy to develop trivial components, but anything more complex and you'd have to do some serious work and the IDE would crash on you on mistakes and there was no way to debug your component live.

Those were nice because you would start with floating elements that you'd move around with the mouse until you'd figure out a good layout and then add the anchors at the end and make it all flexible. Delphi was all about having a

Wait, I thought Israel is the main sponsor of Hamas. These guys should get public so we can get a shareholder list.

That could work except there's just as much BS in devops as in dev. The fact that this job title exists at all to me is a symptom of the same problem.

The strcpy implementation is probably similar, just moved to gcc.

That pretty much describes my "career" of the past 20 years. Lately it's been getting harder and harder to get _any_ job. These days it's either web dev which has reached unbearable levels of idiocracy with its endless t

I don't believe this. Someone who knows how to design and implement a language with real closures, prototype-based inheritance, a garbage collector, etc. also knows the value and power of those things, used them before extensively and

I'm pretty sure a patent lawyer would know more about IP than you do, so I'm not sure who's the wonk here.

Every place on earth already has laws against deception and scams since thousands years ago, this has nothing to do with IP law.

Pointing out that IP is broken is _not_ easy because most people believe in the contradictory notion of intellectual property, you included, not knowing the legal history of IP, the legal and economic history of the concept of property, and
