Hey, I've been thinking and talking in another thread; I just made a comment that is completely relevant for this convo, too; the people in the discussion, as well as you, are looking at things from a different value framework as rms,

And that's good and well - that's the way things are done: every project strives for their goal as well as they can. I am very emphatically not making any statements about the technical aspects of gnu software. The FSF is not the

Even so, having say a bare metal server (à la Vultr) can be way cheaper than having a cloud setup in one of the most flexible kinds of providers. The detail to look at is that flexibility is a feature of the cloud offering, and an expensive

B stands for benevolent even in that case. The target of that benevolence is the project. His call should be in the best interest of the project (benevolent), final (dictator), and (tongue in cheek) eternal (for life)

When you say "in place" you mean the data is still on the NIC? Or is the data 'elsewhere in RAM'? I'm curious because this would be the difference between "scale with more cores" or "scale with more N

That's a nice take - it's still understandable that many of us would rather be in control of the software we're using, though, isn't it? It's - irksome. If one of my prod servers were forcefully updated - with no wa

Thanks for explaining. Cuba & Venezuela are not within the normalcy of LatAm - different economic models, different politics. Mexico has good abortion laws - at least in the capital. There are awful abortion rights records. Agreed - eve

I don't know why you say the left in Latin America favors restrictions on abortion. I am a Latin American and can say it's just not so - at least in the countries I know, the left is usually pushing for more sex ed, and more avail

A hamfisted approach to team code on centralized repos, I agree with you on seeing the problem. But building a proof-of-concept in my branch is way less invasive. I've bought many a candy bar to people who've proven me wrong. And

There's a risk to this approach. I tried it twice (with ~3 year gap in between), and twice I lost myself and had to re-train to be my usual self. Bad habits are contagious, momentum gets lost. Conformity is a strong force. I've be

I see your point, and I agree that it's good to be nice to people. But being in leadership and spending time around a few hundred coders over the hears has taught me the value of someone who does this. I hope this wasn't the reaso

As far as I can tell, transitioning out of coding is much the same as transitioning into coding. Look for something interesting to do, start doing it, educate yourself in it, and start trying to get paid for it. Learn the rules of the game

I see how you'd imagine that, but it's not so. It wasn't about purism or over-engineering - it was actually sensible stuff. Less like "let's use latest version of framework X" or "let's change the org

Sadly, no. I've not seen, say, using legacy source code management tools or development lifecycles described as technical debt; I'd not thought about it that way myself, I'd just thought about it as outdated practices. A quic

But a list comprehension is a declarative construct, which can be best appreciated when porting some list comprehensions into loops. Especially nested comprehensions.
