The term "sex worker" is a campaign spearheaded by pimps, brothel owners and similar creatures that profit form the exploitation of women to legitimize their so called industry. The goal is to make it seem like prostitution is wor

It is a great language to put food on the table. Especially in Europe it is still the dominant backend language. If you want to have flexibility on where you work it is a good language to know. You have the productivity of a scripting langu

People are violent in general. There is petty criminals, white collar crime, there is systematic oppression by the people in power towards those at the bottom, there is young people just letting out steam, psychopaths and so on and so on. N

You are making up a straw man. The economic blockade by the US has the goal of destroying the political and economic order of Cuba. And just to be clear, this blockade is not just blocking Cuba from trading with the US but is effectively bl

This is factual wrong on so many levels. Hitchhiking in the sense of getting into a private car that just happens to go the same directions and has no commercial interest is NOT a thing in Cuba, are at least not the norm. Not many people ow

I don't need the security. I don't need automatic updates. As a Linux user, most of my software will be installed with my native package manger and receive the appropriate security updates. Flatpak/Snap/Appimage are just

So open source means only licenses that are most favourable to the big tech monopolists now? As a user, I can use Elasticsearch just fine with the new license. I can read the code, modify it and use in my own projects. So it is more difficu

I never said anything about big business. It is fine for a small Wordpress Blog and the like. Not everyone is Google. Lot's of small and medium sized businesses.

As someone working as a web developer for a smaller company, I don't get the use case for AWS. Super confusing naming of their services and nontransparent pricing. For the vast majority of people some 5 Dollar hosting is more than they

That is not true. Some dogs are famously picky eaters and will not touch the food even when hungry because they learned that their handler will then panic and provide better food. You might interpret that as the dog "choosing" not

LuaJit is simply feature complete. There are is nothing to add to it. The newer versions of Lua basically implemented features that LuaJit already had or that would mean a performance trade off. I am still using Lua 5.1 (which is from 2012)

The issues is not so much Amazon making money from it but Amazon acting as a direct competitor against their own cloud offering. Personally I am happy about their decisions, as it stops the bleeding caused by big monopolistic corporations w

Mostly agreed but in the case of Elastic against Amazon that would not have helped much. Amazon has no issues contributing back and could probably cope with AGPL. They don't need a advantage in features, they can just destroy any compe

Funny enough GDScript, the internal scripting language of the Godot engine, is using a similar form for (optional) type declarations. var damage: float = 10.5 var damage := 10.5 var dynamic_typed_damage = 10.5 If you use th
