billionaires constantly complain about overpopulation

and some complain about underpopulation

either a bunch of people die or a bunch get poor and either way one half of these complaints goes away

if even the winners of the game want it repealed why not

it could be fun

and it worked for the ussr, with only a loss of a few million lives and the gain of millions

this is also true for china

net gain for communist china in citizens

It is correct; the binary is AGPL, and Snap is a binary distribution method.

You, too, are wrong. From Canonical's actual announcement:

> Canonical has decided to change the default contributions to the LXD project to AGPLv3 to align with our standard license for server-side code. All Canonical contributions have been relicensed and are now under AGPLv3. Community contributions remain under Apache 2.0.

How has it been a huge boon to the GNU ecosystem? Clang is slow, the code generated is not consistently better than GCC for most of the software I personally run benchmarks for, and it's not like GCC has ever been worse for feature support than a Microsoft compiler.

It's better to point out WebKit.

Pretty sure EMACS beat Kubernetes to the punch. This Helm, too, is pretty old now.

Complaining about names is ridiculous. There are only so many names to go around, and there's almost no overlap in use-case or userbase between a synthesizer and a throwaway piece of business software for Yet Another Soulless Cloud Ecosystem.

Naming things isn't hard. What's hard is that people feel possessive over English words. You probably share your name with hundreds of thousands of people in your country.

> “The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”

-Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace

In your opinion, was O.J. Simpson "cancelled?" Hans Reiser?

At what point do we draw a line and accept that a person can be judged negatively for harm they cause?

Have you considered just getting him a gaming console?

If he's got the degree, he's prepared enough. After he gets a job, you'll be in a position where he won't really be practical to get those "Wow!" gifts for anymore—entry-level salary for new grads is pretty great.

It's basically the last "easy" gift you'll ever be able to get him; past that, everything else will require serious thought if you want to give genuinely meaningful gifts. And there are certainly worse gifts to give someone than something he'll likely use almost every time he gets bored for the next few years.

If you're very insistent on not getting him it though, get him a TAOCP (The Art of Computer Programming, by Donald Knuth) boxed set. This would allow you to line up gifts for future years, too, because TAOCP is not a finished series yet, so there will be new entries for the foreseeable future.

This is a satisfying and well-considered answer. I apologize for being a bit rude to you elsewhere in the thread; I do want you to succeed, but your avoidance of pointing out the missteps in leadership that caused this to happen or explaining why you laid off who you did for which reasons and how it won't ultimately hurt the project in the post & initial comment was a communications misstep.

It's still not as easy to develop for as IRC though.
