If a 16 years old girl sends nude photo her 16 year old boyfriend in Germany, it's fine. If she does the same in US, he's pedophile. This is what RMS was talking about.

I'm pretty sure what my response would be if someone rejected my commit with message 'fix the order of imports'...

But you have to get to that future first! If you lose your customers because you can't deliver something on time due to complexity of your 'scaling-proof' system or because you can't accommodate changes requested by cl

(I'm not not very familiar with Postgres, but this is common among RDBMSs). What changed is size and/or statistics. Also, if the Query Optimizer supports something like parameter sniffing, that happened. Unacceptable? Not really.

>programming, where a rate of say 100 lines per day is a major achievement Wait, what? 100 lines per day is an achievement? I'm honestly curious in what branch of SW development this happens. I'd assume something that require

Err, which Windows Phones are you talking about? Lumias were nothing like what you mentioned.

What I was trying to say was that even if the captain instantly tried to reverse the course, ship has already started to move and due to size its momentum is enormous.

Not sure if reaction time plays any role when talking about ship this size. It takes time for it to respond for any command, e.g. course change.

Do you really extrapolate that women are 'far behind' from the fact there are few female ship captains? What about coal miners or steel workers or construction crews then?

Which is as it should be. Backward compatibility and 'stability' (maybe familiarity/recognizability would be better words) are far more important than random changes/experiments that are the core features of Linux deskto

I'd say it's more likely sign of Dunning-Krueger. But I fully agree with the rest of your comment, the more decades I spend programming, the more I realize that the answer to pretty much any question related to SW development shou

It would have more weight behind if you wrote about your background, e.g. "20yrs of SW dev",etc. As it is now, your post looks like chapter list in a generic "Learn SW dev in 24 hours" book.

That's so -idiotic- short term thinking. 10k years is nothing in the timescale of the universe.

No, great leader must recognize his weaknesses and hire people to compensate for them. If you think leaders/owners of big companies are not dictators, I have a bridge to sell to you.

RMS is great leader, but apparently horrible manager. Leaders must have passion, not be just mindless MBA drones. Even though I usually disagree with his vision of how software should be made, I feel sorry for him being target of this i

Make up stories? I don't think so. Also don't forget that those on the other side are not idiots who cannot recognize a lie/made up story.

I'm pretty sure one waterboarding session will make you regret even having such ideas. Everyone breaks, it's just matter of time.

Now I see the problem. You never experienced what the internet was like when it wasn't as ad-infested as it is now. It might be hard to comprehend, but people who were passionated about something and wanted to make a website about that

I disagree. Those parasites are what destroyed the internet and turned it into the disaster we have now.

If it's just 'random set of bits', how Google plans to use it? For it to be useful, they must have a way to decompose it to back to those categories mentioned in grandparent post, otherwise how are they going to sell it to th

Just from top of my head some of the programming languages I used professionaly in past 30 years - C,C++,C#,F#,Pascal,x86 assembler,D,Java,Javascript. And I still stand behind what I said before - Go is trying to be as different as possible

That applied to aristocracy only, didn't it? Peasants were considered as slightly more intelligent livestock, their lives nearly worthless.

and in addition let him be punished by whipping according to the law, except in the case of murder or arson, for which a fine may be exacted. Punishment for killing someone was only a fine? Dark Ages indeed.

Every time I see any Go code, it looks like the language was designed with primary goal being as different from everything else as possible. If there is X ways something is done (and you could then relate to that knowledge), you can be sure

I never understood why lobbying, a.k.a. 'legalized bribing' is even allowed.
