But wouldn't rejecting DRY (in a way) follow another over-rated programming principle called KISS? /s In all fairness, the best programming principle is: just like with software licenses, know what to use and when.

Or the ex-hippies knew very well that Woodstock is just a stage (pun intended) and didn't take it that seriously. I mean, almost all prominent tech companies had those people at one stage or another. Nothing forbade them from listening

I don't think that it's solely the fault of anti-GPL people. GPL proclaims freedom but then demands you to limit your freedom when it comes to anything of your own that just happens to include GPL licensed elements. At that point,

That's a good question. I think that you're supposed to "develop" those strategies on your own as you attempt to resolve a problem, but i don't think that it works as well as everyone expects it to because when you&

They can't, because the platform it runs on doesn't belong to anyone in particular. It's absolutely not the same situation that Apple/console makers have. No they shouldn't. Steam wasn't the first in digital di

In my opinion, homework is first and foremost should be about two things: the first one is being able to problem solve, research and study on your own (developing your own "style" of studying so to speak) and being able to apply t

"All politicians are crooks" is often used as a way to discourage the public from participating in any sort of politics. Outside of this threads context – don't take it that seriously.

We have mortgages and credit scores because the aformentioned humanity more often than not lacks the responsibility to assess both the financial capabilities of those who borrow the money and the evaluation capabilities of those who lend.

Except iOS devices aren't "markets in the city". It's a good thing that you decided to pick that as an example for this comparison (even though it's a bad example) as you have (on accident, i presume) contradicted y

Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't some hospital bills/prices considered to be negotiable estimates? If so, wouldn't that skew the data? And yes, prices should be set in stone and be easily accessible, unless it's

Considering that the definition of "anti competitive practices" is beyond stretched at this point, it's safe to say that those very practices are one of the reasons iOS is profitable for developers: they don't need to wo

True that. "See: Spotify vs Apple Music". Considering that Google has their own streaming services and takes same 30% cut, i truly wonder why Spotify didn't address their "anticompetitive practices".

Perhaps it was true for airlines, but mind you that airlines were a substantial upgrade over railways in terms of travel speed, so it's not just about vacations. "...is there a particular reason to believe that the average America

And AFAIK Apple charges 15% if you earn less than a million in your net revenue, yet noone mentions that. Which, by the way, could be considered a sweetheart deal of its own, just like Steams tiered system. As for the Switch it's still
