  1. Let me get this straight... on Why You Should Be Suspicious of Online Movie Ratings (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    So I can't trust everything I read on the Internet AND I have to apply critical thinking skills to determine whether a source of information, especially one possibly beholden to financial gain, is trustworthy?

    I think he meant free as is in "Xcode has such a great GUI builder with a great IDE that has great features vi and emacs lack, that it frees me up to do other things in my job/life." As the old Jamie Zawinski saying goes "Linux is only free if your time has no value."

  12. And that's why I on Nintendo Fires Employee For Speaking About Job On a Podcast · · Score: 1

    never say or publish anything about my workplace on the Internet, good or bad. On Facebook I work for some undisclosed company at some undisclosed location doing some undisclosed thing (which is more than likely programming, for those who know me).

  22. Beautifully put on On Being Pro-GPL · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "you can use my stuff, as long as you give back what you make from it"

    I've read the GPL, and I feel that this is by far the most beautifully to-the-point and most honest real-world representation about the requirements of the GPL that was ever put down in a single, brief sentence.

    Some people might disagree with this, and I'm sure those people who do would also argue that the act of jumping of a 1000ft cliff without a parachute being fatal is a bald-faced lie (because technically, it's the a priori sudden stop that kills you; so you're really just spreading FUD about jumping from great heights, as jumping itself has no immediate requirement of death).
