  • At that point just let me ditch the formality and send over the summary in the first place.

    A tangent a little bit but so much this. Why haven’t we normalized using fewer words already?
    Why do we keep writing (some blogs and all of content marketing) whole screens of text to convey just a sentence of real content?
    Why do we keep the useless hello and regards instead of just directly getting to the points already?







  • They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.

    I’m not convinced. It all started from a license saying “if you want to distribute your version, you have to license it the same”. One either plays by the rules or the modification doesn’t see the light of day. And at the time of publication, it was rather radical stance
    Freedom sometimes has to be enforced

    This is not a story about a company denying free trial to another company because the latter is big. It’s about the latter leeching resources from supporters who’s money go towards the fleet that serves their 4k VM “trial”

    It is against the spirit of FOSS




  • I’m not convinced that the number of questions asked is the correct metric. In the end the point is not to have a constant flow of questions, rather constant flow of answers found.

    There is a point in proficiency in language/library/whatever after which it is faster to find the answer in the code/documentation/test example than to wait until another person on even higher level will come and answer your question.
    Maybe we simply filled out what was needed to be asked in the beginner-bug found-intermediate space and, apart from questions stemming from new versions etc, SO does not need more questions?

    Expectation for everything to constantly grow is unrealistic

    Thank you for sharing that

    But that ties you career to a stance. Which for sure often is a boon for many but not necessarily. The fact that one decides that something has to be spoken out does not mean that they for sure want to be from now on “locked” in politically involved jobs. I’m wondering if HR in some “just business” corp would not see such point in CV as a red flag, and if so if that would be majority, minority, 50/50?
