It is free. It's so free that you are not just not paying, you even have the freedom to fix the issue yourself. And contributing the fix upstream is not selfless either. You don't want to keep dragging the patch along with every

It's not other people's bugs. It's your bugs. You created them in the first place, and somebody is offering to help you _for free_ by reporting them. Charging them for helping you is outright stupid.

I agree that it's bad. But not because the maintainer is an asshole. It's because the maintainer doesn't understand the real leverage he has when doing open source. So it's actually more sad than bad. Bad for him, in fac

That's a ridiculous claim because it can't be falsified as long as you are not arguing with an unbeaten olympic champion. As long as an athlete has been beaten by somebody, you can always pull the "yeah well you know why you

What many people in this thread don't realize is that sports is more than NBA and soccer. In fact, less commercialized sports are much more interesting to watch and participate because they are not just full of over-hyped over-payed ov

Morally, taking that hormone is still wrong. And so should it be according to the rules too. If you now answer that it's unfair that the person with naturally occurring higher levels can have it but those with lower levels can't &

I replied to "basically every elite athlete is doping." That's definitely BS. So, you agree with me then? My friend was in the finals in Beijing and in London, top-6. In London half a second from a medal. Yes doping would hel

Sorry, that's BS. In some sports and some top ranks, maybe there is a lot of money behind. But that's a very narrow view of "elite athlete". I personally know some Olympic finalists in some sports, and they certainly don

That's depending on what you consider a "performance enhancing substance". With basic food and drinks, we surely all agree that that's not the case. But the line starts to get blurry with supplements. Whey? Creatine? Caf

Alright, you are now arguing that in response to violence, counter violence may be acceptable and therefore my post must be coming from a position of privilege. My statement was about the original act of violence. It would benefit everybody

Violence is unacceptable. Period. It is sad that there are cultures where that's different.

That strong social safety net does not fall from the sky. People in those countries just pay higher taxes instead, so if you want your employee to have the same net income, you need to increase the salary. My American friends always rant ab

The biggest myth is that any of this matters to anybody but a tiny fraction of niche programmers. The reason some "app" is slow is not because of cache coherence traffic. It's because somebody chose the wrong data structure,

Maybe we have a disconnect in our definitions of "testing". How do you define the meaning of it, and could you illustrate how it could, on average over a code base, increase the number of bugs in the product code under test?
