But there are all sorts of sentences in that post that don't make sense with "now" tacked onto the end of them, wouldn't that bother you?

I have an old peek and a charger. Do I already have what I need to start hacking away when the dev environment tools are available?

If it works well for them that's awesome, but that signup stinks of elitism for me. "You can't do some simple calculus? You must have nothing to add to the discussion."

"Those who chose other licenses, do so for reasons you should respect if you intend to benefit from their work." Of course. Authors are free to release software under whatever terms they like, and people who use the software are bound to ab

Alright, Free Software isn't the appropriate term for the type of open-source license that I appreciate. I apologize for my poor choice of terms.

by AmazingBytecode 15y ago
I'm not saying it's OK to violate the terms of open source licenses, but the GPL has never fit with my idea of what Free Software should be like. I see Free Software as a gift given to the world as a whole, regardless of what they plan to d

Is there a secret crappy version of the Kindle Fire that amazon is sending to Hacker News readers? Mine is fine at those three things.

Is that the best unsubstantiated diss you can come up with? Here are four better sounding and equally valid ones. node.js killed my dog. CoffeeScript gives you diarrhea. a time-traveling Scala user killed JFK. using Erlang is an unforgivabl

Might get better results by making reference to science and glorifying Dawkins the savior as the reason for the season. The free thinkers are trained to gather around and financially support anything with Dawkins' name in it. This effect is

The fact that our current systems for giving semantic classifications to web content are insufficient does not mean that giving web content semantic meaning is a pointless idea. It's like going back to the early 1980s and blogging about how

No one will upvote anything anymore. They'll move their cursors to the up arrow and pause for a moment. What if this is the one? What if this link is the buried landmine that will explode and destroy my perfect Hacker News karma score. I ca

I was expecting an article about actual ice cream sandwiches. I'm not disappointed per se, just a little surprised.

I support open source on a pragmatic level as a way for people to share code so that they no longer have to "re-invent the wheel". Because of this I feel like it's petty and counter-productive for the FSF to refuse to share their "free" sof

I'm actually really against comments, which is ironic, given what I'm doing right now. Most comments either reaffirm the reader's view or make the reader a tiny bit angry. I don't think they're that effective at actually causing people to t

This is probably a good thing for Puppet. If the want to drive adoption of their software in the enterprise, it's better to switch to a more permissive license than the somewhat Idealistic GPL. It will make corporate legal departments more
