In our leaders, cheating on one's spouse is problematic (and plays well in the media) because it is an extremely clear-cut example of being willing to violate one's most sacred vows for one's personal pleasure or convenience

It's almost certainly a violation of the school's code of academic integrity, but illegal? Doubtful; nobody goes to jail for cheating on their exams.

Your example is somewhat fallacious in that sexual assault is, in fact, criminal, and running a platform that encourages and rewards it is potentially an accessory to that crime. Hacking it may in fact be more ethically (though not necessar

I am ruminating on the harm to be had here, not the moral culpability for it; it's easy to not be sympathetic here because these are by design people who occupy the moral low ground, but I can think of a few cases off the top of my hea

There's another case to be considered here, too - people who have used the site, got caught/came clean, did the work to fix it and have rescued their marriages (or were doing it with the blessing of their spouse), and now are at r

Unacknowleged writes were a bad default. I think everyone with a shred of honesty will happily admit to that. It was certainly in the documentation, in the blog posts, in the startup logs, and in the README for quite a long time. If you mis

That 32bit startup warning has been in place since 2009. It was in the README in 2008 (IIRC, pre-1.0). https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commit/b3322b86a014683018ac... There's plenty in Mongo to complain

FWIW, I can highly recommend project mailing lists and IRC channels as a great way to tap into discussion-based knowledge and expertise for various things. I find I generally tend to do most of my free-form discussion in those contexts, and

This makes me wonder if it's just a disconnect in the product that SO is providing - SO is consistently a very useful, high-quality product for me (and I say that as someone who is certainly not googling basic JQuery questions), but I

I hear this regularly, and I'm really curious what kinds of things you're searching. I practically never experience this.

I think it's much more likely that the amplification of criticism and outrage was catalyzed by her high-visibility public image stemming from the KP trial. She came out looking (IMO) like a vindictive, petty, and greedy person. Whether

Gosh, this is quite a lot more negative than is warranted, IMO. StackOverflow's biggest problem is that it's hit saturation; the low-hanging fruit is all picked (which is good; that knowledge shows up in Google results), which mea

The entire point of RHEL/CentOS is that it isn't bleeding edge; it will certainly be modern though. I think it's rather unfair to call it "old" though; the latest release was in March.
