After seeing how big of a hard-on business drones have for OpEx vs CapEx expenditures, I don't think the cloud is ever going away completely. Like we have an entire cloud "revolution" (note the mocking quotes) because of a bu

Aaaaaaaagh! It's not a "coding language" it's a programming language! Are we talking about medical billing or software engineering here???

> Police unions spent months and millions of dollars lobbying the state government so that they could still arrest and charge kids for pot possession. But why though? Hatred? Inertia? Culture? Do they get paid per scalp? Do they love the

While I hate it, I agree with this in that in most settings heads will roll if your main moneymaking service is offline because of a billing snag.

My issue is more that an individual work can't stand alone, in a legal sense. There is always the work, and then there is a an artificially-imposed, invisible framework around it that prohibits the free use of the work it supposedly pr

Look at all these terrible attempts at controlling, and just how well they work. In every sector you have a cadre of elites and a much larger cohort of have-nots. Musicians don't starve , they put on concerts and experiences and sell

Universal Basic Income could help a lot here. The rise of open-source and volunteer movements shows that a lot of people want to work on what they are passionate about, if only for their jobs and the need to earn money. UBI may not solve th

Honestly the whole idea of creators controlling their IP is fucked. Everywhere, everyone wants to get in on carving out a million monetizable use cases while the rest of us collapse under the weight of an entirely bullshit system of rights

I'm not sure this argument really has any weight. You could say the same thing about using neopronouns is a low-cost, simple, and "kind" thing to do... but then completely disregard the centuries (if not millenia) of social c

Yeah, there were aspects of it that were utterly genius, and aspects of it that kept me busy for a while.

Before Ellen Chao and gamergate they had a really hands-off policy on content moderation, but it was that controversy that seems to have changed their course

I took over a bunch of his code at one of my previous jobs, and let's just say it kept me employed for a good long time. It's been kind of difficult for me to reconcile considering that this is the dude who co-wrote frickin bash

'Management involvement' has always been heavily free-speech at all costs. Reddit is one of the last bastions of this style of management and have yet to succumb to zoomers' whimsical emotional fragility. They were ground zer

What would be possible with less monetization of users and a decent-sized support staff? Or are we talking the bullshit SV-style possibilities where you monetize the living shit out of everyone and everything and give a big middle finger to

The "webview" it renders to is native UI this time? Kind of reminds me of Mozilla XUL (rest in peace...)

How many of these documentaries are actually public interest though? Versus propaganda by someone with an agenda to push under the guise of intellectualism?

The fact that I have to stare at a blue loading bar for a good 10 seconds before I see any content means I won't be using LiveCode for any reason... lack of open source notwithstanding.

What an incredibly shitty contract to be forced to sign. Apple overstepped, and they are going to get reeled back.

Holy crap, I was on the old gamasutra site just a couple of days ago. R.I.P. to lovably weird and slightly dirty names for things. FactoryGirl, domainatrix, now gamasutra. Makes me so sad that we can't do quirky shit any more
