Agreed, so take the message and ignore the organization that promotes it, especially when that organization has such a track record of being led by people who see the world as black and white and who are not open to an ounce of compromise a

The FSF has never been very relevant so saying it's more relevant than before is not setting the bar very high. Besides, that's probably what you'd expect to hear from someone bragging they've been supporting it for 30 y

Do you have a recognized dictionary agreeing with you that you can cite? If not, you are wrong, simple as that. Using "of" instead of "have" in 2013 is a spelling mistake, period.

If such a language existed, you wouldn't need to write any function body, all the code you need would be encoded in types. However, even the most advanced Turing complete type systems make for terrible sources, so it's probably no

I don't see much reason to rejoice, all the games you see running on Linux are not doing so because they were specifically written for Linux but because the developers used Unity or Game Maker. Nothing wrong with that, the more such ga

tl;dr: The FSF would rather you did not use any mobile phone at all since none exist that match their requirements. Nut jobs.

Don't trust the NSA, trust Apple instead because they have no interest in your private information. Makes perfect sense.

Junior developers become CTO's of startups all the time, it's really not that remarkable, all you need to be is a co founder and since such teams are usually CEO and CTO, the roles are quite obvious. The main mistakes that junior

Iterators should really disappear and only be used when they are really needed. Just take a look at all the examples in the article and you will see that the iterators are noise and unnecessary. Most of the time, all you want is getting all

My problem with that is people who write emails in full screen windows end up writing poorly formatted emails (very long paragraphs) because they are now composing their emails with 300 columns. Besides, a CEO that can't focus on writi

Good point, I should have said "infinitely" instead of "orders of magnitude".

> All I want is the ability to make arbitrary changes to the software running on my phone. Why is that so hard? What mainstream OS makes this easier than Android?

Nonsense. You can certainly argue that "less" of Android is being open sourced than a few years ago, but it's still orders of magnitude more open than any of the other mobile OS available on the market. Especially OS X and iO
