The problem is that this isn't legislation about the proper manufacture of bicycles. This is exactly the kind of legislation that governments and the police are looking for, to cut into civil liberties and fortify their own positions o

Yes, the body of text in law is usually nearly burdensome with all the flowery language that makes it seem like they're trying to cover edge cases (and sardonic comment aside, I'll grant your assumption legislators want to cover

You are reading hostility which does not exist. I understand as mod you read hostile posts all day, but I will ask you (as I have in the past) to please remove any sense of hostility you read in my posts, because that's not what went i

They've always been clear that the date may move. I realize this sentence is totally invisible, though. And classy move there, with the comment about language.

All of these intense, weird, baseless, anti-SC posts suddenly make sense.

Nice, accusing the people you disagree with of being bot accounts. That's quite classy.

Yes, that is the price that it fetches in the open market! Because enough people feel it provides them with at least that much value in return. For all the weird detractors (who seem hell-bent on telling other people what they should or sho

Again with your "promise" claim, which is false!

I really enjoy their Bugsmashers series on Youtube, where they walk through fixing code. It's great in its own right, and I'd watch it even if it wasn't about Star Citizen.

It's always been an estimate, and they've always been crystal clear about the process and releasing new estimates. If you haven't pledged, you aren't receiving the incredible amount of updates from almost every team at C

Have you played the game? I ask because you sound exactly like one of the people complaining because they can't for some reason handle how the game is developed, that its not going according to your expectations. If you don't plan

The thing about Star Citizen is that there's this super vocal minority of people that bought into some version of Derek Smart's bullshit. They decided that some aspect of Star Citizen is not exactly how games have worked in the pa

I'm really not sure where in my post you get that I'm cheapening engineering jobs. On the contrary, perhaps my post is worth another read. We are paid substantially more than almost every other industry specifically because engine

To echo another poster here, what goes crazy is not "the internet" or even particularly any number of people on the internet, but the sort of disembodied, roiling click-frenzy created by the media in order to sell more ads. I was

Yes, but if we did that, the news would get confusing as we tried to sort out which "Grand King King of the Warrior Kings" they were talking about.

Yeah, but having worked in tech for almost twenty years, and being completely forthright, I could probably count on one hand the number of people that ended up on the street making any gamble like that. The older I get, the more I think w

More broadly, that is exactly what AWS aims to do with serverless: "De-commoditize" its commoditization by containerization and tightly re-couple your application to AWS. Which is fine, if it suits someone to do that. AWS just l

Right. In the end, AWS saw containerization as an existential threat, and serverless is its response to the commoditization of AWS (and other specialized cloud vendors) by containerization technology. Serverless helps AWS re-couple your app

It's called I Hate Music. [0] I really enjoy it, and I think some folks around here would, too, but I'm really a poor barometer of what others might enjoy. My assessment is also maybe a bit clouded by my affection for the guy. [

I can think of many open source projects that are very tightly controlled by a small number of people. You're describing a situation that is now the default: You put good programmers in a room with a good engineering manager and good e

From my understanding, the original turd that began soliciting donations for uBlock was made an offer to sell the Github repo to the turds behind AdBlock. And what you're seeing here is a clear demonstration of that group's very p

Not only having code stolen without attribution, but stolen by the company running AdBlock, who appears to have just co-opted the uBlock brand. This is GPL'ed code being stolen with clearly deceptive and rent-seeking behavior. I wonder
