So many yuppie bots think this is real

I don't understand why people are outraged at the concept of a company building housing for its workers. There's just nothing inherently evil about that. Take a step back and calm down

Yes, because if a program is free and it does something you don't like you can just fork it.

I'm so glad that I don't use Windows LOL

Like, why is there an entire section about why not being fat is a privilege while being fat is inherently a 1st world problem

Personally, I don't really choose to spend my time going over checklists to look for reasons why I don't deserve any of the success that I have. Although, I definately emphasize with the plight of obese feministas who cannot find clothes as easily as non-obese people... Or those who are fat because they cannot afford a gym membership... actually wait a second, no I don't.

You generally have to reverse engineer the website, which could be easy or hard depending on a lot of factors

Person Other (than) Grunt

These LibreText textbooks are high quality

That's classic

Nowadays, you can identify as whatever you want.

This is a hilarious post. A pipe dream that has nothing to do with the topic at hand

It wouldn't suprise me if a lot of the details are classified

Free as in "freedom" or free as in "free beer"?

Non-free (as in freedom) software is not something that any self-respecting programmer would willfully associate with because it's inherently dirty. A proprietary license is (literally) a form of DRM. It's a feature that is hostile towards its users, especially those who are "makers" or "doers."

This whole debate is very applicable to the world of software. In fact, I believe that computer programs are legally considered to be works of literature (although I'm sure it's more complicated.)

The authors argument is roughly "you're not allowed to fork my proprietary project because it's proprietary," while the school librarian has an opinion that I would consider to be more copyleft. I tend to agree with the librarian.

I think that writing a book that uses major plot details from another book without copying them verbatim is not illegal. That would be analogous to writing a program that does the same thing as a proprietary program. I argue people should have the right to do this for books just as they should have the right to do this for programs.

> But you see that’s exactly what you are, because you can’t refactor Java code with what you call “Unix tools”.

"refactoring java code" is really not an exceptional task that vim (or emacs) cannot handle.

In situations where grep -r is too stupid, ctags exists.

Syria is such a complicated political situation that I don't think you can reasonably chalk it up to "America did Syria."

There are a number of strategic reasons to be involved in the middle east and none of them are stupid. Would you be happier if ISIS was running amok?

Note that they are talking about "AP computer science _principles_." There is also an "AP computer science."

On the AP computer science exam, the questions are about reading and writing code that uses the more annoying features of Java such as static methods, interfaces, abstract classes, recursion, etc. If you pass the exam, you get college credit for an introductory CS course. I remember looking at a practice exam for AP computer science _principles_ exam back in highschool and laughing my ass off because they were so stupid. The questions were about things like "applications of virtual reality" and "benefits of 3d printing."

Their statistics that it somehow helps minorities smells like bullshit to me. I don't think any kids get inspired to enter STEM by a course where you have to write essays about "digital video" or whatever. It seems like they are quick to applaud themselves for doing something that has a plausible PC justification behind it without really thinking critically about the effects.

I have no sympathy for obese people

If you think wood is obsolete as a building material, you are wrong

I wonder how long they can get away with blatantly exploiting the system?

The conflicts in Africa had already existed before the Europeans. I argue that the preexisting conflict is the fundamental cause of the lack of prosperity in Africa, not colonization. Colonialism in Africa only contributed to the problem.

Before America was colonized, there were also political divisions and multiple distinct cultures. Then, a new culture showed up and eliminated all of it. Rightfully or not, it was the establishment of unified central authority that gave America its prosperity. Go look at a map of North America and notice there's only three big countries. In Africa, the situation is essentially a stalemate because there are so many competing factions.

A group of small nations is always going to be more inefficient than one big nation. Just imagine what would happen if you abolished the federal government of the United States.

He was 80. It doesn't really prove anything that he died of a lung illness.

I don't understand how this or any of the other similar links you have posted is useful to anyone

exactly ...

The mongol campaign in china was one of the greatest military failures of all time. over 1 million defeated by 200000.
