But those two objectives don't have to clash with each other. MacOS is able to support both objectives quite harmoniously.

"Imagine if every web developer that uses Apple "because it is a better desktop than Linux" decided to donate 5% of that to Canonical (or Fedora, or Arch) and took a few hours every month just to try to get their issues sorte

I disagree with your disagreement. The usability and functionality of the software is the paramount concern. Who cares if you're not "locked into it" if the software sucks to begin with? You probably wouldn't start anywa

"and the fact that you have to separately purchase so much software for it to make it useful." That's not a negative, especially for anyone who makes their living selling software. And there's nothing special about Linux

Only if they actually have an interest in that, or development in general.

As opposed to you just coming along and saying you deserve my stuff?

I mean, with Trump's administration banning cybersecurity and encryption, this company should go out of business soon, right?

That base layer of "involuntary coercion" being "punishing people who steal".

The alternative is "might makes right", where you give up anything you have to others through coercion.

No, it hasn't. It is nothing like that at all. You will have to provide much, much more evidence to support that if you wish to try and make that assertion. And the Supreme Court was always an appointed position, even in the time of th

Agreed, although I'd say those were both decent responses to those on this board who would pose those questions without the rhetorical nature.

But those are expensive.

Lenovo's attempt was pure crap, though. And other manufacturers had attempted things like fingerprint sensors on smartphones before that had flopped, but then worked well when Apple did it.

A PR isn't the only way to contribute. You can also check out the repo and send in patch files.

I'm willing to wager that 95% of teams don't have a choice when it comes to a lot of this stuff. The burndowns and standups are mandated by management. So a lot of this "If your Agile isn't working for you, just change i

Yeah, but everyone says, "you need to have a GitHub. You're not serious about coding unless you have a GitHub. That's how you get jobs now."

It sounds like it's in the Bay Area, where that level of salary is kind of a minimum, given cost of living.

You can decide how you want to do cost basis, but once you've decided for one security, you have to continue using that until it's gone. You can do first in, first out, last in, first out, or average price. I believe the default i

It's no different than any other stock or ETF.

Which is another failure of management, and still causing the workers to be punished.

Resigned with a golden parachute worth more than you or I will probably see in our lifetimes. Tell me, what actual consequences did that CEO face?

by st3v3r 10y ago
It still amounts to punishing the workers for the failings of management.

It doesn't make sense given that it's a healthcare product.

I suppose it is supposed to appeal to a different kind of person than one that would use Emacs.

Cause startups are not the answer to everything. Find me a VC who's willing to invest in a chicken ranch, and maybe I'll change my tone.

Should be, but then shareholders wouldn't get as fat of a dividend, and the board members might have to live with a 20' yacht instead of a 27' one.

And apparently, inflated chicken prices.

And this isn't changing.
