   I never said I am the brick wall, just that I was as far as you admitted 2-3 posts ago. That is, somewhere in between your screed about eligible gay bachelors defecting to the "Log Cabin" for mainstream cultural acceptance and me

   You claim not to seek approval, but you post little smiley faces at the end of every post, which tells me you desperately want some kind of reaction. If you truly didn't care how people receive your opinion, you wouldn't be conspi

   Well, then I suppose you're very comfortable with people paying your opinion no regard.

   Make no mistake, I'm giving away HTTP/1.2 for free because I don't think there's any money to be made off of it. It's a simpler and more elegant alternative to HTTP/2 most of the time, but that does not transla

   "First off, in some sense everything is political." That's what every partisan hack says before they shove their culture war politics down your throat. Some people out in the real world get laid and just can't be bothere

   I'm working on something I plan to give away for free as well. I'm backporting request multiplexing into HTTP/1, calling it HTTP/1.2, and working on updates to a few HTTP servers that rejected HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

   Fair enough on use of the word "courage" in this case. I will gladly walk back on things I am wrong about when I realize it. If DRH prefers the business model of giving away something for free and selling consulting support for it

   You didn't deserve to be downvoted to hell and back. People deserve to be paid for their work, and without copyright law only mega-cap companies would ever be able to capture enough value from their work to survive. People act like you

    You guys could do a little bit of research before chiming in. It's not that hard to find this information, and there are dozens of documentary videos on YouTube about Flock cameras. To answer the unasked question here, their business m

    This is great advice in general: establish personal boundaries early and stick to them. I never had a problem with vacation time or sick time, but I've had problems with this one asshole at my current job. I managed to fix that problem

    That might have actually been legal. I'm not a lawyer, but it's definitely better for the accused than what happened in reality. "I told you not to. You're the ones who wiped my phone. You owe me money for destroying my

    If it says "goatse" on it or it's only in bars (i.e. adults only venues), I don't mind it. As long as nobody is showing this to anyone under 18, IDGAF. California is full of degenerate freaks who do way worse shit like g

    This doesn't solve the harder problem: properly identifying bullying. Bullies don't usually bully other people in front of their authority figures. Most "anti-bullying" policies in the past 25 years have the unintended c

    I don't know why you were downvoted to hell. You were not defending the school's disciplinary approach, you were just describing it.

    There's a crucial flaw in the dishonest "story" on this little web page of the Green Bay Packers being owned by the public: that "stock" is just a novelty piece of paper that carries no entitlement to a equity in a

    OP, I would strongly recommend you try to play devil's advocate against your own case before making it, so you have a chance to refine your thoughts and rebut at least the top 2-3 counterarguments. More than that, you would do well to

    Marking this as a WONTFIX should have gotten somebody fired at AMD. I find it hard to believe that at least one of their VPs doesn't frequent this site. I don't normally call for people to get fired from their jobs, but this is so

    By that logic, there was no value added in updating the syntax from ANSI C to C99: no reason to add double-slash comments, no reason to allow function-local variables to be declared and initialized where you use them instead of the top of t

    Thanks for dealing in good faith and picking a reasonable interpretation of my comment instead of going "debate mode" and making a straw man. Just to clarify, I definitely wasn't saying "everything should be written in C

    I'm just talking about the basic grammar of C. Scoping with curly braces, statements delimited using semicolons, the basic syntax for defining a function or a struct. I'm just talking the same level of C familiarity that Java or J

    Interesting project and all, but why does everybody out to make their own compiled language want to get away from the basic syntax of C so badly? Rust and Golang are the poster children of this, but it seems like every other language implem

    I'm glad someone pointed that out. They even have call and put options, and thousands of FPGAs in Chicago trying to arbitrage deviations from put-call parity from market open to market close.
