"should not have their critical needs outweighed for the mere convenience of the majority" I *strongly* disagree here. A small subsection of the population should not be able to impose their self-percieved "needs" on the

What an absurd statement. Next you'll say private property it "immoral". Open source software is wonderful and I love when companies create and support FOSS. That said, to say it's immoral not to give away the work y

Can it not be both? Someone can want to learn for the sake of learning, and then filter further using practicalities. I'd love to learn every programming language out there, but it wouldn't be possible, we only have a limited amou

I question the bias of your sample. Almost every one I've known who possesses any self-taught coding knowledge has gotten there specifically because they don't buy the "wage slavery" narrative and wanted a valuable skill

Maybe go is faster than any other language they've used? I'm not contending the fact that they have a reason for wanting to learn go as that new language. Just that your claiming they clearly weren't interested in learning si

I think you may be misinterpreting what OP meant (or perhaps I am, that's a real possibility). I read that as "There are only 2-3 specific people whose skills and contributions were so essential to the orgs success that the org wo

They didn't say they wanted to learn new things, they wanted to learn a new language. I can want to learn how to drive a race car in addition to my Toyota Corrola without wanting to lear how to operate a crane (though that would be pre

The fact that the majority of Americans have voted time and time again to get our gun laws to where they are today is my source. It's not "extremism" if it wins by popular vote.

It's difficult to take that article with more than a grain of salt when there's clear political bias and a lack of proper sourcing from the start. Of course political bias is inevitable, but to claim that our gun laws are the resu

Anecdote of course but I'm in the states and I love grocery delivery. It's far better, imo, than food delivery ever was. I can order my groceries a few minutes before I get off work and by the time I get home I have everything

I've seen boilerplate applications for <insert tech stack> but the open-source ones tend not to be great, and the closed source ones could be great - but I'm not willing to pay $XXX for code I haven't seen.

I very rarely see a bad faith argument gain any traction and not get immediately shot down here. Not to say it doesn't happen, but IME it's more common that a bad faith argument gets called out and flagged than it is that the bad

Does race work the same as gender here? I get that it's often still very arbitrary, but it's certainly less fluid (or rather, fluidity in this area is less acceptable). I can't love Mexican food, learn Spanish, and then decid

In this case though the "other sides" definition still is ephemeral. In the context of gender, what is a woman? It's easy to say "woman is a gender identity" but thats a categorization, not a definition. There'

I think assuming that eventually the culture will "settle" on a definition as if it will suddenly reach a point of maturity and stop evolving is an inaccurate assessment. This strikes me as a non-answer.

So, essentially, the word has become a homonym? Just like "left" has multiple meanings depending upon context, now so "woman"? That makes sense to me, but then still the question is unanswered, what is the definition of
