I still don't get how you think I'm exaggerating. Again, I didn't say: "Trump is literally Hitler and will instate himself as dictator!" Instead I listed off actual things that he and his administration have done, o

Quite hypocritical of you to criticize unconstructive statements and then going around and doing the same eh? May I dare to venture why you think so?

Sorry, but I'm so tired of this olive branch covered in thorns being offered under the name of "unity". What you're basically saying is "shut up and fall in line". It's no different from those conservative

They also increase link rot (full urls give you at least some information like: the domain, date, and title slug) and deteriorate the open nature of the web by locking a link behind some company's proprietary database that is liable to

Personally, and I'd like to stress that this is my opinion , I feel that the term is very reductive. It has its etymology in "code", when programming encompasses much more than just writing code. (we also write documentatio

At the risk of sounding crass, who cares? If LucasArts cares, they'll send a DMCA to GitHub. Software from 1993 isn't depriving them of any profit and it's being shared for educational reasons. (it's not even the game it

My point with the example was to show that Wikipedia is a public resource. It's not "that other guy's" responsibility to fix it. Every editor is a volunteer. If you have the energy to complain about a public resource tha
