Re:Startup Uses Eggs to Poach Employees from Facebook, Google on Saturday April 05, 2014 @09:29AM (#7537007)
If someone harassed me while I was waiting for the subway and tried to get me to quit my job, I definitely wouldn't want to work for them. I'd probably go out of my way to never use their product, actually. I don't see how this is any better than the "do you have a minute for ____" clipboard people that prey on tourists for donations/signatures on the sidewalk.

Sure, it's a free country. If someone doesn't want to exchange dollars for work hours anymore, for any reason, that should be totally fine.

I'd also stop giving that company money.

I wouldn't work for Mozilla if he was the CEO. I doubt they care about that specifically, but a lot of other developers probably feel the same. Good luck hiring any gay people. Employees were in revolt, one went on strike, etc.

> The last few days were horrible. Not like my house burned down and I lost a limb horrible or people put me in prison and violating me horrible, but a lot of pressure, a barrage of anger and a feeling of helplessness. Also a feeling of betrayal and a feeling of being powerless.

Seriously? A rich old white guy has a lot of newfound free time. Who cares?

Life must be so rough for Brendan Eich right now. Wow, maybe he feels like a transgender person does every day!

Re:Say “no” to import side‐effects in Python on Saturday April 05, 2014 @09:01AM (#7536915)
I haven't used GTK in a long time, but when I was using it, I was under the impression that pygtk was being deprecated, and everyone should be using GObject-Introspection instead.
