These guys are literally the bottom of the totem poll (none of them are managers etc), there’s a reason theres a players union

They’re rich, but they ain’t likely upper class

Can we not shift this from the very important issue of how stupid this streaming situation is into the much less important, albeit still valid, “one rich athlete spends slightly less than his fair share in this one instance”—no one is defending this guy because he’s rich, only because it’s the irony of the situation

The more people who pirate, the better. It doesn’t matter who as long as everyone is getting away with it equally

Who are they stealing my personal data from, corporation?? Are they stealing it from me or from you??

The only other legal option is to cede console porting to someone else. This is the best option, legally.

It saves ewaste. In 6 years, will macOS still be supported on these machines? Maybe. Will an open source distro be supported? If it’s still thriving, yeah.

I always call my little helper higher order functions (intended to be partially applied) factories :)

Name one statically typed language that doesn’t have that property. Name one non statically typed language that has that property.

All static typing means is that types don’t change, eg you can’t declare a var as a string and later assign a number to it.

People don’t understand that JIT languages are still compiled, JIT literally describes when it’s compiled.

That said, F# and/or OCaml.

where linux?

cc-by-sa is copyleft

I wish more people were aware of and as vocally critical of copyright laws as you.

I mean, if the error says “variable foo is not defined” I don’t think it’s wise to go “I’m pretty sure it’s defined, the compiler is just wrong” 😂

I learned early in my software engineering career these two beautiful rules of debugging:

1. Read all of the words
2. Believe them

Trolling is a art form

Then steal from those corporations. It’s not hard. Copyright and patents were to benefit the public domain, not anything or anyone else. It does not do that. The public domain has done nothing but perish as more and more “protection” has been applied. Now it is all intellectual “property” to be owned and measured and controlled and regulated, unless you opt out of it with open source.

We have tools like the GPL and AGPL. Corporations hate those. Turns out when you start giving away and “taking”, everyone benefits. Open source hasn’t made the world worse the more it’s been growing — maybe choosing to forgo most protections of copyright and IP is actually good. Maybe.

If you have seniority and they are a junior, some juniors do respond well to a senior having more knowledge about the codebase. With them, it can be beneficial to use a tone like “We have library X that seems like it could do a lot of the functionality here, unless you already took a look?” I know it’s like 90% of the same but I know people who will just be shellshocked and just blindly say “yes” to any question you ask them, and I don’t want a blind “yes” I wanna know the truth :) it also lets then explain why they didn’t use it if they have a legit reason because hey, maybe I’m the one who needs to be caught up

I’m a socialist. I understand market forces and I wish more people did. Technology itself can help the lower class. Government protection of technology (patents, copyright) will always hinder them.

lowering the barrier to entry without protecting the elite will bring about market forces necessary to defeat corporations—small sizes can move and adapt faster and try new things than those with institutional bureaucracy, who just follow the money and don’t innovate. Corporations learned this, and now use government protections (copyright, patents) to prevent these new, necessary, market forces. I don’t like the “economic” terms myself, but it’s not rocket science that corporations benefit from cops (aka law enforcement aka laws).

We can remove the restrictions on new market forces by reducing IP protections, prevent corporations from mucking with newbies by preventing them from getting uncompetitive protections, or by stealing from corporations without regard for the law. I think we should steal more, honestly.

Stopping technology has never worked, though. I understand the plight of artists, but I’m extremely excited for the new human artists that dream up art that AI can’t create because it hasn’t been fathomed before.
