It is a relatively simple formula that is very combat heavy with extremely simple economy. The campaigns are excellent though and as long as the true randomness of attacks/defense doesn't drive you crazy it is a lot of fun. Very challenging and has real strategic and tactical depth as well as pretty well balanced.

I personally never did multiplayer but last I checked the multiplayer community was pretty healthy.

The interesting part as far as the salaries they are not obscene. Many of the people who started learning at women who code could easily be making more than the CEO by now.

I mean, quite a bit of that stuff people pay premium for is already counterfeit even at stores like whole foods. I don't know how common it is, but it does exist.

Amazon probably wouldn't help much though yeah.

> Apple offers quite a bit of free software when you purchase their hardware. This includes OS upgrades and their office suite as well as Xcode and Garage Band, among other things. It's quite nice and they are well made.

Most of that is not "free software" in the way this blog post is talking about (FOSS). XCode has FOSS components, parts of the OS are FOSS, etc. However, much of it is not.

perl also grabbed a lot of things from CL, like moose(their MOP, at least so I hear).

I mean, at least in a social (not clinical) setting, i'd say the burden of proof is on society to prove that it doesn't exist.

I understand not wanting to clinically treat it if there isn't much evidence.

I mean, given their logic I think the Mister Rogers example would work too. The idea is having a consistent presence, I believe.

How can it be debunked? It's all internal to a person. I'm not comfortable telling people what they feel/who they are is wrong.

I know multiple "collectives", as I've heard them called, on some online chatrooms. They seem perfectly functional and logically consistent.

To be fair, while still awful, that's not a National Security threat.

I think it'd go a long way to make laws that require software that is embedded on devices to 1. be patchable by the user and 2. The software has to be open source if the company is no longer able to maintain it.

We have a bit of that in the US too. Not super popular though. Usually just chocolate but also some other stuff.

In case you are wondering about the downvotes:

There are millions(trillions?) of lines of code out there that is maintainable and dynamically typed.

I know way more great developers who contribute to open source than great developers that don't.

Maybe your area really sucks, but i've never had the misfortune to work at jobs even half as bad as the two you've described here. I'm not in a tech hub at all.
