   def double(number) return number * 2 end double(10) # => 20 double("foo") # => "foofoo" It's called polymorphism. `*` is a method. Learn how the language works before you write an article about it proclaiming your ignorance.

   I disagree. Stallman was hacking in 1976 and many of his ilk were free software advocates. Gates knew what he was doing. He derived his work from others, but denied others the same leeway.

    Everyone is anonymous with a small "a". FTFY: I guess some people who act (regardless of affiliation) have good intentions but the vast majority don't.

    Agreed. Equivalent of spray-painting over a billboard.

    Customers is just one small category of users. Youtube has video uploaders, commenters, raters. Games have players, coaches, referees, bots. Forums have admins, moderators, posters, subscribers, lurkers. Torrents have seeders, leechers. Non

    And if you have a thing that can be used by a person, an organization, or machine, what do you call it? - Agent - Entity - User - Principal

    Your logical fallacy is ad hominem or appeal to authority. It doesn't matter who he is or what he has built. The poster seems to favor a more complicated interface with a simpler implementation. That is basically the opposite of what is gre

    Most definitely. Youtube has video uploaders, commenters, raters. Games have players, coaches, referees, bots. Forums have admins, moderators, posters, subscribers, lurkers. Torrents have seeders, leechers. Sure, Amazon has customers mostly

    One customer could have multiple users. Agents might be more accurate. Why are we talking about this? #biggerproblems

    I would have to disagree. There are a few things which are a matter of preference or taste, but the vast majority of it is not. When I design a UI, there is little to no hemming and hawing about where to place things, how big they should be

    OP might have just professed "I am not technically advanced, Git has powerful features I'd never use, it should cater to me." In general, there are too many of these articles on HN about "I don't know how to use it, so it's terrible." What
