   Are there any meaningful opportunities for human rights minded developers in organisations such as this? Put another way, should idealistic developers consider careers in such organisations? If so, which ones and how?

   Agreed that it's my moral stance (I have lots more) but doctors for example take a moral stance as part of their profession, why shouldn't developers also do this? When software is creeping into all areas of endeavour, refusing to

   As developers we need to take a moral stance and refuse to develop products that engender addiction.

   Would love to see a ruby binding for this, right now we're stuck with XSLT 1.0 via libxml.

   Disappointed that Github still haven't responded to the issues raised in the open letter a few weeks ago.

   By GitHub obviously. Improving their platform to maintain their momentum as a community hub is pretty much a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

   I have to admit, even as a technically competent guy with secondary school economics and a lifelong interest in economics, I have a hard time understanding the monetary system. I don't think people not understanding things fully is an

    GitHub's success is based on its community. Simple fairness says the community should be respected and listened to, simple business says if the community doesn't get something back, it will get pissed and go somewhere else.

    A shame that GitHub aren't more responsive to the community that enables their success when they make such a big deal of their openness. It is also our own fault that we have allowed ourselves to become dependent on a single provider o

    also, page size is not the biggest performance killer. too many http requests (for example, requests out to CDNs and advertising networks) is a more likely source of problems.

    I think Moxie is a (left-wing) anarchist with more than a smattering of Crimethinc.

    Loving moxie's namedropping of oldschool revolutionaries: Maria (Masha) Alexandrovna Kolenkina was a Russian socialist revolutionary from a merchant family in Temzhuk, a small town on the Sea of Azov. (1850-1926) Vera Ivanovna Zasulich

    I don't think advertisement works that well. While you may convince a small minority of consumers to consume in a climate conscious way, I sincerely doubt that it would appeal to the vast majority. For example, you would need to persua

    I think it's problematic to focus exclusively on individual responsibility for averting climate change. Climate change is a massive global problem, intimately related to the structure of the global economy. The scale of the problem and

    I presume someone has written this in the hope of people using it. If it was used on a forum I posted on, I'd feel it as an imposition. It may be a suggestion only, but I'm suggesting it's a bad idea. It'd be like having

    I don't think that it's fair to describe criticism of this as against being considerate, it's more like, against imposing some people's ideas of how people should talk to each other on to unwitting users of some Internet

    Thanks for the suggestion. I considered this, but I was worried about how it would affect my support guarantee if I had bought the device from a different country. It might be fine, but it might also lead to all sorts of bureaucratic headac

    I actually tried to buy one of these. Unfortunately I live in Scandinavia, but I wanted an English keyboard (Scandinavian keyboards are a pain to write code on). Since it wasn't possible to specify this via the order form, I tried to r
