Is to not be so fucking vain, and realize that your personality, masculinity and worth as a human being does not reside in your hair. You're not Samson, dude.
Rock the buzzcut instead, it takes me 5 minutes every 2-3 days with a cheap electric trimmer. Or shave it completely, which is actually easier than shaving facial hair. With a bit of practice you can even shave in the shower.
Or rock the male pattern baldness like a boss. Look at Ed Harris, he's rocking it and there's no insecurity there.
So his politics are basically that he wants to be able to discriminate people, based on race/religion/sexual orientation? And the CoC won't allow him to do so?
Oh boo hoo such a precious snowflake. Good riddance. At least he removed himself, before they had to kick him out for being a piece of shit.
To expand, Rafael decided to drama queen out of the project because he thinks the CoC of being welcoming to all, not attacking people based on gender/religion/politics and to focus on the code is against his politics of being able to be a racist sexist shitbag.
As long as he/she keeps it separate from their contributions, no they have not violated the CoC. The question asked at the hypothetical conference was about politics and just happened to be asked at a conference, but it didn't have anything to do with LLVM. The connection in that case would be purely incidental.
Ideally, the developer in question would say "I don't want to talk about politics here, it's not the right venue for that. Let's talk about LLVM instead".
In other words, no it is not a goddamn attack on certain political positions. It's a guard against bringing non-relevant politics into a software project.
As a starting point, you should treat everyone with equal respect and potential, but if they prove themselves to not live up to that, go ahead and respect them less.
For example Trump. If you didn't know him or hadn't heard about him before, he's just another old white dude in a suit. It's only when he opens his mouth you realize he is unworthy of respect.
Really? $10/month is less than 35 cents/day. Compare to movie ticket prices or any subscription service and it's hilariously cheap.
Sure, if access to music has no value to you, then it's obviously not worth it for you personally. But the simple fact is that it is by far the cheapest and easiest way to (legally) access music, in the entire history of mankind.
What? You get unlimited access to the biggest library of music in the world, with generated playlists and recommendations based on your own taste, and you think $10/month is too high?
It works great on my 27" 2560x1440 desktop monitor. Most of the time, I use it as two virtual 1280x1440 monitors, which is a very comfortable size.
On laptops, I figure you would need a 15" model with at least 2560x1440 to make it work equally well. Personally, I don't mind the 1366x768 panel in my X220. It does what I need it to do, and if I need more space, I'm probably at my desktop anyway.
$85K/year, 6 weeks + 1 day paid vacation, insurance all paid by my company, flexible working hours (nominally 34.5 hours per week), paid lunch break, 6 months severance if they fire me, and a whole host of other benefits.
I think I'll stay right here, instead of trying my luck in The American Nightmare.
Nonsense. I'm using an X220i with a 12.5" 1366x768 screen, and it's perfectly usable for a subnotebook. Would I do a full day's work on it? Hell no, but that's what docking stations and big monitors are for.
Sure, they were great. But you're forgetting all the shitty bands that were around back then, because they were forgettable, just like most popular music today. Most of this stuff will be completely forgotten in 5-10 years.
Yes, you're absolutely right:-) It resonates with us, and has done so for centuries.
My point with the fickle and ever-changing taste is that you may write and perform a song that hits all of those techniques, gets radio play and is objectively a good candidate for a popular song, but there is no guarantee. It may simply not have the right kind of hook at the right time, it may not hit just that right combination to resonate with people. The big picture is there, but the devil is in the details.
I'll back up a bit. Popular music is written specifically to appeal to the lowest common denominator, a simple rhythm that resonates with most people in a given region or culture, on a basic level. There are a lot of well-known tricks you can use, including a "heartbeat" rhythm, a straight-forward happy-sounding refrain that is easy to sing along to, a repeated refrain at end of the song with the final repetition a half tone up, there's a whole recipe for making pop music with a reasonable chance at success.
Obviously, taste is fickle and ever-changing, so you also need a hell of a lot of luck to make a popular hit. The big labels use their influence to push their chosen "hit potentials" to radio stations, streaming playlists (including club music services), TV shows, DJs, all over the place. When people hear a song over and over, it creates associations, and they'll be more apt to put on that song, or request it at parties. It's a cumulative effect.
This is not intended to put down pop music, a lot of it is extremely well-written for its purpose and produced in an extremely slick, ear-friendly fashion. I don't think anyone can honestly ignore the talent of someone like George Michael, no matter how much they prefer other genres.
Popular != good, but it's also != automatically shit.
Get solar panels with a battery buffer, rely on the grid as little as possible. Solar panels not enough for your "needs"? Reduce your consumption, switch to power-saving alternatives. It's good for everyone.
I miss it because I think there should be more competition in the mobile OS sector. I also miss Firefox OS and Sailfish (though it's sort of still alive) and all of the other small-fry alternatives to Android and iOS. Google and Apple have become way too complacent and are resting on their laurels. There is no real innovation in phone UIs, and the Windows Phone tile layout was a very interesting idea.
No matter how much the big labels want to enforce DRM, there will be plenty of very talented independent artists putting their music up for sale DRM-free in any format you want, at sites like Bandcamp.
Sure, buy some albums and stick them in frames for the covers. But the music doesn't have to be on a physical format, it is better in every way as a set of lossless files.

You can fix a lot with a strategically grown beard.

None of that stuff is in the LLVM CoC: https://llvm.org/docs/CodeOfCo...
Why are you copy-pasting lies?

introduces distortion over the entire frequency spectrum
Care to elaborate on this
Inner groove distortion, wow, flutter, dust, static, the list goes on and on.

You can do the same thing in the paid mobile app as well. I've never used the free mobile app.

Jayzus fuck, talk about being a skinflint.

Because it's soooo easy to land a job like that in the US.
And is that normal, or even just reasonably common in the US? Nope.
With a couple of exceptions (normal work week is 37 hours), what I get is the standard here.
$85K/year, 6 weeks + 1 day paid vacation, insurance all paid by my company, flexible working hours (nominally 34.5 hours per week), paid lunch break, 6 months severance if they fire me, and a whole host of other benefits.

Popular music is popular because it is popular.

Good. Don't use it then. Facebook can wait until you're at a computer.
If you need messaging on the go, consider a better alternative such as Signal or Wire.
