Interesting piece of history. Thanks for sharing that. As for "selling music" - I believe that the very concept of it is archaic, akin to "selling software". Music can be copied like software, and every attempt to treat

I think the point is not that musicians charge too much, but rather that music industry takes too much for themselves. The cost of infrastructure, amortized by the number of artists, is very low. It's nothing new, really. People have b

I don't think that that engineers who built Kubernetes were looking at Plan9 and saying "ok guys, it's too easy to do things, we must make it harder so people are aware of the network". I think the more believable sc

You're reading my words, but you're not trying to understand what I'm saying. Unless you demonstrate an honest effort to understand, I will not continue this pointless argument.

Similar pattern of false claims. Author has clearly stated that "all issues are fixed". The other guy found one unfixed issue. That makes the author's statement false. I don't trust a person that lies, especially when th

Sure, but that's not what we usually mean by gatekeeping. Controlling who can and cannot join the community based on some arbitrary, subjective critera is what we usually mean by gatekeeping. E.g.: FDA does not gatekeep - they enforce

by paskozdilar 4y ago
Nothing inherently right with gatekeeping. Many harmful effects, though. Alienating valuable members comes to mind.

No, I haven't watched Watchmen (heh). I just found the similarity between the app's name and onomatopoeia of a bomb countdown-timer funny.

I don't think it will. Invasive data collection benefits the powerful, and harms the individual. Nobody powerful gives a rat's ass about the individual.

So, let me get this straight: There aren't any particular reasons for his cancellation, and you're just jumping on the cancellation bandwagon? Why would you do that? If I were advocating destruction of someone's legacy and de

Erroneous argument - shouting "fire" in a crowded theater has a direct , predictable consequence of people acting on it. Posting stuff on the internet does not.

by paskozdilar 4y ago
The problem with those kinds of arguments (the "I know it when I see it") is that anyone can stretch them any way they want - since there are no objective criteria, nobody can prove them wrong.

I hacked up a bash script for running arbitrary command in docker container, mounting only PWD. It traces dynamic libraries through ldd and creates a new image for each unique command. I got it working for ffmpeg: https://github.

Why should people posting somewhere be responsible for actions of other people reading their posts?

RMS is back in FSF, and as far as I know, nothing has changed. The "cancellation" attempt was a good try, though. Really made me worried.

by paskozdilar 4y ago
Good thing we have FSF and EFF on our side. Not to mention RMS.

Perhaps, but I didn't want to claim anything without proof. If you have any proof, please post here, so I may use it in future arguments.

Responsibility to the responsible. There's no difference between idiots in churches and idiots on 4chan - both are idiots, both eat up whatever bullcrap is served to them, and both are harmful to society. And neither means that churche

You can do that too, using the bisect, provided you have the __len__ and __getitem__ implemented: class C: def __len__(self): ... def __getitem__(self, i): ... def __contains__(self, x): i = bisect.
