No, but obviously you have. Believe me, the AI finds your contributions either obvious or wrong.

I see there's still an audience for this apologist bullshit. In the cake of life, the women are literally the eggs and butter, and the men are the chocolate sprinkles. Yeah we're mostly useless (as the one-father-many-mothers ra

A thousand words in, and still no clue what the problem is.

You're mistaking morose insipidity for tension.

Zero because techies don't pay for shit. That's why they're rich.

What keeps aeroplanes in the air? Money. And what keeps the money coming in? Thousands of man-hours of sales, legal, tax, operations, and finance. Like someone earlier said, code is the easy part.

I hate the old timers who always cite GNU's cover-my-costs tape distribution, as if subsistence manifests a profit motive. The FSF hawks merch, yes, but it was never about making money so much as spreading a wrong-headed gospel.

I hate people who orthogonalize monetization and open-source. Getting customers to cough up cash has always about knowing something they don't, a leverage you give up by releasing source code.

some people mention dual-licensing, but I'm not sure how that works. That's because it doesn't. A license is only good as its enforcement, which in your case is nil.

Because otherwise it'd take too long. East Asian cultures figured this out a long time ago. Learn by rote, then have it gel over young adulthood.

Forty-four years ago another guy felt the same anger towards a closed-source printer driver, and he started a movement that actually did end Microsoft's stranglehold.

"Unprofessional?" If I booed you at a town hall, would you call me "unprofessional"? "Shut up, hater" would seem more apropos.

[MIT] doesn't give developers any guarantee I assure you GPL doesn't either. You can jump up and down furiously waving GPL all you want. Nothing short of a paid legal team would enforce it.

Low-stress, high-ambition, high-pay. Pick two. Tutoring high school students comes to mind.

I recommend this piece You and the author appear to be the same guy. To be sure, the piece itself is an academic exercise hypothesizing a world in which the MIT license were law. And in such a world, the GPL gestapo would continue raili

That they aren't implies that the intent is different. News flash buddy. OSS devs, college and graduate students mostly, are clueless about the distinction and select whatever license tickles their fancy from GitHub's dropdown

While I, an inveterate emacs user, largely agree, you're not going to change any minds when the debate topic is "Vim and emacs both lost to vscode in the editor wars." To nearly everyone reading this thread, the bulk of whom

I can't understand being sad about someone not restricting what they created I can. The guy giving away the ice cream is destroying the market. You can't compete against free. If programmers would stop surrendering their labo

For those confused by the dangling modifier, he means the combined act of cutting the trees and selling the wood is restrictive. Also, a terrible analogy since trees are an exhaustible resource within a meaningful time range.

Emacs is the can class, not two can instances. The power comes from a single can interface, and leveraging one's can-fu across multiple tasks. Also, everyone enjoys some foot cheese in their whipped cream.

Take any book you've read in the past year excepting The Kama Sutra, Illustrated , and open to a random page. Do you remember anything there? Yeah, that's how dumb long-form reading is.

Orient it the same way as someone who could but doesn't.

Talks with live coding are rather useless for me. Utility is not the point. Vicarious coding is how 0X programmers justify their paycheck.

Someone who needs handholding from the rip isn't cut out for decentralized public domain. I'd work on your leetcode to hasten borg reabsorption.

My guy not looking for a fight. This man's loyalties are torn and he is asking for help on a question of existential consequence.
