100% agree with you. If one loves the facebook world, then he has to understand the facebook rules. Ignoring them is a mistake on the user side, not FB. And it follows that when 99% percent of the billion users will have just ignored the ru

They didn't give that. They asked you to agree to their terms of services, eventually gave away some of you personal data in exchange for a, I admit it, practical mean of communication. But thy sure didn't give anything. That&#x27

So I guess censorship is not something American companies are forced to avoid. They can use it if they wish (newspapers don't show all the information they haven they regularly hides some of it)

GB of RAM is fine until your database is one terabyte. Also, RDBMS do constraint enforcement for you and that's absolutely critical when you work with any sufficiently big database (I work on a 100GB DB with a team of 6 people, changin

It requires quite some will power, because it means you're fired. So depending on your situation, that may a really tough decision to make; even though you absolutely understand that you're doing something wrong. https:/&#x2

Ironically, you just mistook a critical thinker with someone who agrees with you. People prefer critical thinkers when they help them in their grand vision. Unfortunately, a critical thinker may have some things he wants too.

I love ASM a lot, wrote quite a lot of it before. But well, what's the point ? I understand it's a funny endeavour; I can even see that one could help the planet a bit by reducing power consumption on the server side (running on r

major problem with unstable is that you get completely addicted to upgrading your system each time a package evolve. That's a huge time sink, thanks Debian :-)

I think it's fair for a programmer to evaluate himself (and, surevaluate himself) just like start up founders, investors, evaluate their start ups when they try to sell them... I think I'm worth millions right now. Hire me, I&#x27

Sorry for the "she", my mistake. As for th eIP, my case is a bit strange, I have an app that I GPL'ed, now I want to sell a service where I actually add functionality to the app. The client gets the functionality, I get to pu

The fact you don't understand the other guy shows that RMS is about politics muuuuuuch more than about software
19.
by wiz21 10y ago
Yep, damn right. That's why it's so important that RMS says free software is political. As an ideology, it always matters as long as you like it. People care about free software as much as they care about politics : only a few kno

ouch, didn't know that... Would you care to give a link where this is explained ?

Care to explain why you disagree ? Be warned, I'm on the opposite side of yours : proprietary software is a byproduct of competition on material grounds :-)

by wiz21 10y ago
This. That's a question I often ask. From what I know, RMS got some money in the bank that allows him to live the way he chooses. That is : spare some of its time advocating and building the free software movement. He's also very

Funny. One measure when motor signal and sees that it can measure when it appears in consciousness. Do me a favor, how can you be sure that what you measure is actually consciousness. Give me a "measurable" consciousness. Mo

No. Top management sees the company in quite a different view than its employee. They also see their own future. So, what they decide for the company might actually not much to do with what the company does. For example, the president of a

Bu t at the same time, we need people who are dumb enough to believe they can achieve something because they're great. They tend to go first and, well, actually do stuff. We need both those types. Unfortunately, history tends to favor

I love your comment. But it basically says something else : programming is a lot about fashion. And nowadays, HTML/JS/CSS is fashionable and Qt is not anymore. Everybody can yell that Qt/Gtk or even the MS stuff is the better

I'd venture another explanation. When I compare myself to those "normal" statue, I don't feel inferior :-) The fat is that a statue is an idealization; so being the same as the idealized stuff is a warm comforting feelin
