I said "more likely", not "guaranteed". I feel like the whole point I'm trying to make by building onto the parent comment is that there's not a one-size-fits-all template to being happy and fulfilled, and that

Strongly agreed, and it's also worth it for those who think too narrowly along those lines that those aren't even the same axis. I used to be single and childless, and my happiness fluctuated a lot, but now I'm married and mu

It's not like the policy ever made much sense to begin with. Hard to try to keep track of what a rationale might be enough to convince people who are already being unreasonable!

I still remember when they decided to limit the number of private repos you could have as a free user. Kind of silly to me at the time, and even more so now!

I'm not saying you can't worry about this; I'm saying it does not seem to be a particular compelling reason for Mojo being closed source for so long, and I'm dubious that the rationale was due to anything like this.

Nope, not a reference! Just being silly and pretending that the sticker is accurate because at some point before the box was packed, it did not contain Tetris (or any other games), and then once it got packed, only then did it contain Tet

Treating people like adults means not admonishing them by saying things like "we're a business, not a daycare". Adults don't need to be informed that they're working a job because they already are aware. Talking dow

Something not being the primary reason I'm paid does not imply that it's "solved". Personally, I enjoy working at a company where people have intellectual curiosity about varying viewpoints to ambiguous questions like &q

If we wanted to make things really clear, we'd use strikethrough text for the lies!

I don't really know why I should care what expression I'm trying to use (or what someone else is trying to use) as long as the intent is understood. If anything, people who are needlessly pedantic about the way I express things th

I don't understand that argument at all, unless you think that the only value of open source is in the potential for people to say nice things about your project. If you think there's inherent value in something being open source,

Okay, but by that logic, if I can point to one instance of something suboptimal happening due to software being closed source, then it's reasonable to be wary of that too. I don't see how this is a plausible justification for keep

That doesn't clarify anything at all to me at least. If the goal was to avoid people depending on it before it was ready, why had I been hearing about it for so long before this? Something being marketed is not consistent with a concer

Most boxes don't contain anything from the start; you need to put the product in them before you sell them!

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Are you claiming that if Mojo was open source earlier, everyone would still be using the old versions for a long time? I don't buy the claim that a pre-1.0 language only a f

It sounds like they were saying that they think you shouldn't have to use a language primitive like `unsafe` to be able to do the stuff that C/C++ does. (To be clear, I completely disagree with this viewpoint, because I don't

So what does this actually translate to in terms of Mojo? Rust has algebraic types and pattern matching, C++ has some specific use cases that are "tacked-on", to use your phrasing, so when the parent comment says that Mojo is what

Their comment seems to be mostly focused on surface-level syntax from what I can tell (e.g. "wrapped in a Python-like skin"; "what they imagine a good C++ will look like"). Rust code probably does resemble functional lan

That doesn't seem to address what the parent comment says; they're arguing that the rationale for the progressive opening doesn't make sense, not that it didn't or wouldn't happen. If I say "I'm going to w

My point wasn't that YAML is an indefensible choice, but that embedding bash inside the YAML is at least to me not defensible. Making the `run` field take a string that's treated as a path to script within the repo would still giv

I can pretty confidently state that I've never once felt that having raw screenshots on such an operating system (e.g. desktop Linux) were missing any feature like this.

I don't think this says a whole lot about the direction of people's political views here as much as there being a general disdain for arbitrary claims of political bias that aren't based on any discernible evidence. I feel pr

From reading through a lot of comments on this thread, I'm honestly struggling to notice any super obvious pattern or bias other than the amount that people care about how screenshots work compared to the average person is a lot .

No, I don't think I have anything else to ask you, because I'm honestly still struggling to understand any sort of consistency between what you've said overall. I still maintain that your initial comment was telling someone e
