moreover, Python3 is not the problem, it's the fact that it coexists with Python 2 that is.

I love how the Apple community subtly works promotion of the latest iPhone in every single discussion

subtitles are unreadable

and that's too bad because the overall story seems quite solid

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 rules, then they will soon understand what it means. So they'll scream and ask governemnt to help them. Then the government will regulate 50% of facebook activities, and well, FB rules will be weakened a bit but officially enforced. People like me will say that society has one more problem, others will say that it's progress... And I'll be sad once again.

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's what so many forget...

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, changing here and there and I can't tell you how crucial the constraints are to maintain the data quality in face of bugs, misjudgment, etc.). And no, it's not for lack of testing. When you work on millions of super complex records, you always miss some corner cases (unless you're NASA and have a huge budget to test thoroughly)

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.

so according to you leaving a castle fall into ruins is "good enough" because nobody wants to see it...

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 raspberry :) )... But I still fail to see some genuine advantage. Am I missing something ?

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'm such a huge opportunity !

2. Cathedrals, and their close cousins, castles, last centuries

Business problem spaces don't last centuries. Algorithm do.

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 put the functionality in the app (ie I open source it).

I also work in Belgium. Here, the author is the one who writes the code (in case of freelancing; it's the opposite if you're employee). Unfortunately, even if the law is fine, my client doesn't want to hear it ...
