   I suspect that people are more likely to want their loved ones to be treated in spite of glaring suggestions toward the end of their love one’s life when they fear that death will approach within the hospital walls. It’s likely that many pe

   I agree with you. But my choice of words was more a reflection of my observation that not all users care about software licensing rights. Between the mid-80s to now, the motivations and characteristics of the average computer user has cha

   This sounds like a level-headed analysis. Granted, I don't totally understand the history nor the practical nuances of all of the FSF's work, I do have a basic grasp of their overall influence and imprint on FOSS and am a happy Em

    Is there any sort of tech expat/“digital nomad” sort of community in SA? If so, what’s it like? If not, what inhibits it? Thanks in advance.

    Yes, actually, you are correct! Hilarious in the sense that I am amused; it makes me laugh; it brings me joy. Intriguing in that makes me want to read them. The years-long effort reminds me of Robert Caro’s series on Lyndon B. Johnson. It’

    I am relatively unfamiliar with these books, but the fact that Knuth publishes them in “fascicles” is hilariously intriguing. I have a superficial understanding of Knuth’s character as a programmer but I get the impression that the work is

    I wish that more developer communities followed the OpenBSD model of (what my impression is) not necessarily caring about community, inclusiveness or popularity. I'm new to programming so take my observations with grains of salt. But I
