I feel that it would be completely unreasonable for a platform running applications based on Web APIs to be so constrained as to have an issue with jQuery.
Platform is the wrong word. Something like node.js might be considered a platform, but not JavaScript itself. JavaScript is flexible, C-like, has first class dictionaries and JSON makes them super simple to serialize. It's one of those languages whose flexibility can actually be a hindrance because you have end up having to get pretty deep to find the structure... maybe it is a platform.
If the platform outright fails to support the necessary underpinnings to run web applications, why are we talking about writing web applications for it?
I go to their website and am greeted by a Linux version download. That's not what it's about though, it's about their new engine that they didn't port. The thing that's unfortunate about that, is that Apple and Microsoft have a track record that shows they aren't worth the long term support. The massive UI changes, forced on users of their most prominent applications, over and over again. New deployments shouldn't use either. That's not to say that there's a Linux distribution 'ready to go' any more than Windows or OS X is 'ready to go' before the end-user customizations are applied, but the Linux distributions are far more likely to remain stable.
I only had to read far enough to see that he says you have to compile a web application three times, once for the browser, once for Android, once for iOS. His methodology is so broken that he's unable to comprehend the idea of a cross platform website.
The problem is that all the arguments apply equally well to currency in general. The arguments are basically reinforcing that Bitcoin is in fact a currency like any other. There's not going to be any way around that no matter how blue in the face you get.
The problem with this argument is that the global economy is nothing but a gaggle of competing currencies being traded against each other, anyone can create a new standard which effectively creates wide-band inflation for all of them combined. The economy itself. Period.
You're working on the underlying assumption that the opinion Is correct. I'm working on the underlying assumption that it May be correct. Which is more correct?
I would love to see the world had something been slightly different, if our good friend Richard Stallman had been able to loosen his philosophy just enough to allow himself and his tools to evolve with the speed of our technology. As it stands, he has greatly hindered himself with the purity of his standards, has closed away in some cases decades of technological advance in the name of his philosophy.
This means his philosophy has been completely and utterly unable to evolve with technology and has unfortunately come to a point where moving it forward without serious consideration and the dropping of the us-versus-them mentality is likely impossible.
Hey now, if you're going to go WORLD on us here you have to make room for the fact that the rights organizations totally fuck off when it comes to reasonably handling international licensing. They have no choice out there but to pirate.
The significant whitespace thing being an issue is pretty amusing to me after all these years. Admittedly I held a little of that in my early years, but the real eye opener for me came down to the active reuse of code in all of the various languages. I primarily used with C/C++ for a long time and every other snippet I came across had some readily apparent, though small, difference in the syntactic formatting. It's not something that will jump out right away, but when you get to maintaining a project of significant size it can be a significant hindrance to readability when the various sections of code are not formatted using the same guidelines. At that point, it becomes almost necessary to run any foreign addition through a beautifier that gets it almost to your specification. I feel like the significant whitespace thing wasn't new with Python, that's just one major place where they recognized the value of codifying it into the language.
There are an awful lot of appliance-oriented BSD systems, like pfSense and FreeNAS. Are you sure you've never encountered one in a production environment?
Try as I might, the full beard is being suppressed by the antics of all these big corporations who are shitting on their userbase by changing their mainline products to suit a pointless agenda.

Homeopathy may not be medicine, but plenty of vaccines work on the same principles.
Yup, and JavaScript is just a programming language.
You sound like someone who's never dealt with users.

I'm beginning to question whether that word even has meaning anymore.

6. Pretend I'm a noob and go google "generate bitcoin address" (5 seconds)
You made it a little too obvious that you're just pretending to be a noob. what's generate?

When your entire organization (FSF) is predicated on technology...
In this case you might want to run as root so as to avoid weird permissions issues in pulling the image data from the foreign filesystems.

Teenager being a red flag makes it sound like you don't have a solid grasp of where honest innovation comes from - any random asshole.

Completely agreed. I find that Python's Tkinter has made it more of a delight to use than pretty much any other windowing toolkit.

Are we to understand that none of your family are actually Steam users, they just happen to maintain accounts?
