    And thus we get to the crux of the matter - this code is being used and derivative works are being created. The code on GitHub is mostly used by other people in their own projects, not just to compile and run it.
    The problem with source code is that compiling it is not allowed implicitly. Compiling source code is be like recording an audio version of the book.

    Just because you put some code onto a publicly accessible code repository hosting site, does not imply a license. Otherwise uploading images to a public Flickr or other type of photo sharing site would amount to the same. That is , however, not the case. The implicit licenses are very limited in nature. No court will find that by sharing the code on GitHub or any other site, you released it into public domain. At the very least you will be eligible for monetary compensation and attribution.

    No license is as bad as GPL.

    Really? I mean.... this is a seriously uninformed comment. No license is just that - no license. Just because you can see the code, does not give you permission to use it. A licence gives you permission to use it. License quite literally means permission. GPL is a licence, thus is a permission, even under strict permission.
    So... GPL = permission. No license = no permission. So how are they equal?

  10. Re:and if license picking were mandatory... on Your License Is Your Interface · · Score: 1

    If you want to use GPL code, your own code has to be GPL. The GPL isn't viral or dangerous.

    That is not true. You have to license your code under GPL terms when distributing. Simple as that. GPL is not applicable to things that aren't being distributed and as a copyright owner, you are not forced to use GPL for your own code.

    Or maybe people have the right to chose the license they release their code under. If you feel that they made a mistake, then please feel free to ask the copyright holders to change the license.

  12. Re: At your desk! on Mayer Terminates Yahoo's Remote Employee Policy · · Score: 1

    If you need to stay in "the zone" then you don't have a close knit team. You bring up the barrier to be further from the team, not closer.
    Furthermore close knit teams know perfectly well when to leave each other alone and know each others' work habits.

    As for people who work from home, it's total BS. These people work no harder than anyone else and, in case of children, are in a house that is not conducive to concentration. Working longer hours is not the same as being more productive. There is such thing as a separation of work space and home space that gets in the way and kills performance and concentration.

    However, working remotely is not a bad thing per se. It just has to be regularly interchanged with working in the office.

    No, that's something we owe Louis XVI. France was most assuredly not a democratic state at the time. As for the Constitution, Montesquieu was a large influence, no doubt, but again was not exactly a democrat or even a supporter of American independence. Freedom wears a crown, eh?

    A) You're confounding democracy with freedom. It's the same mistake people make when they talk about capitalism, while thinking of free market. Or socialism/communism and totalitarianism/dictatorship.
    B) Freedom may wear a crown. Remember that constitutional monarchy failed in France, yet England's monarchy was/is very much like a constitutional monarchy(it's limited by many laws, yet there is no formal "constitution"). The constitution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was written by the king!

    So, for a test like this involving web development, I'd say language is actually a pretty relevant topic

    Can you imagine how much web developers would be paid if they actually did this kind of stuff? This particular feature is highly irrelevant to web development, because web developers(server-side web developers, obviously) don't write the servers they are using. They only deliver the final functionality to the end user. The code is largely easily written in sequential and independent blocks with the database being the sync point.

    C# 5.0 (the latest version) has language-integrated async functionality that makes writing vertically scalable software a snap. It looks and behaves almost exactly like sync code, but actually runs async.

    Except that it does not solve the shared data access issues, the thing that makes it hard to write parallel code. Also Java 8 is 8 months away and has similar constructs.

    But hey, if I want to have a very scalable solution I'll just use Scala.
