Exactly as you said, if you want to use GPL you have to do something, while if you want to use BSDL you don't. Surprisingly the definition of freedom: "the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or r

It is psychological, for some of us freedom means I authored this piece of code and if you want to use it you do what I say aka GPL. For some other people it means that here, I wrote it and you use it as you want to use it aka BSDL. I am mo

"Stallman created the GPL because he cared about user freedom." vs. "The GPL attempts to force people and businesses to release their source code. There is nothing wrong with that, except I don't think it qualifies as &q

Not to mention the absolute lack of _usable_ public transportation. It is laughable what they got there compare to any major city in China for example.

Could I or could anybody? Funny you mention ad hominem and targeting the question to me, implying that I use slurs and ad hominems. :) I seriously don't care if somebody is smart and I have something to learn I will regardless of her s

You are saying we need censorship. Growing up in a country that had very strict censorship rules I can tell you two things: - it never works because people just simply fool the censors with twisting words the right way so the censors don&#x

This is exactly right. Reasoning ends when the feelings start. I am not even sure if I understand -btw. usually attributed to religious people- the concept of getting offended. If somebody says something you don't like and you don&#x27

Like other people display Obama as a non-american, Donald Trump as Hitler and so on. As a public character you should be able to handle that.

You mistakenly think that all of the people who signed the petition (~200,000 people) are from the fat shaming subreddit.

Yes I was just pointing out that not only the advice giving part is bad but also the practices that even banks follow today are harmful.

by istvan__ 11y ago
Instead of giving them an advice, we who understand how it works should make these things defaults and not let them exposed. What can the users do in a world where banks are asking you to read the CC details loudly in a phone conversation a

Would you mind explaining to me what sort of competition was the Chinese empire facing when they invented the compass? Just want to point out the fallacy in your logic.

Absolutely, I need to learn about Kotlik, it almost looks like Scala at the first glance. I agree with you about languages and targeting 10+ years with it. Stability is worth more than anything to me, out of the box performance also importa

There is such a thing but the scope is usually limited to a problem, a project, a department or a company. A good example would be OCaml and Jane Street for the latter.

Well I might have given you the impression that I am a Clojure zealot. This is not true at all. I program in Ruby, Python, Java, Erlang, Go and OCaml on the top of Clojure. The only reason I prefer the later it because I can use the same mi

True, how about starting with the right language? :) I only write Clojure for both JVM and JS. Works like a charm. The only problem is when you need to work in a team and nobody does anything else but Java and JS.

What about it? If you are a public figure these are pretty common. On the same ground, would you go an extra mile like this post when somebody comparing donald trump to hitler? Your political bias goes both ways...

I am opening a bottle of champagne and at the same time answer my own question: it took 3 weeks for the community to get rid off a tyrant. Well done Reddit! Friendly reminder that if you are using downvotes for disagreement than you are doi
