Whenever people ask why anyone makes open source software for free, I’m going to use this as a metaphor.

Dang, a whole dollar? I would sell origami tanks for 25¢ each, didn’t realize people would pay more than that.

That’s you assuming all things are equal.

Yep, it is.

This will also hopefully limit the number of issues opened that are resolved with a “you must enable X feature.”

Did you just have a stroke

I’ve always thought I would have a Meowth/Persian. Seems like a good companion.

I think it’s supposed to be a latch.

Drives me crazy when I see this kind of format for things like programming. Nothing like pausing the video and trying to see what their code says.

Can you give a code example of what you have tried to do already?

Exactly! Always push for code pointers for everything people tell you about the codebase. Even if the code has a bug and isn’t working as intended, it’s so important to know the actual truth if what’s happening.

An easy way to confirm your first point: would you still want to do it if you were paid significantly less? If so, then yeah, you’re in the right place.

So many problems can be solved by just reading the code. A corollary to this: make sure the code you write is readable.

Really though. Now that the sub is officially dead, people will start looking for an alternative.

Dang, this 3 year old post sure is hot.

Exactly. This event is an effort for them to prove that the platform is just as active and enjoyable as it was before the chaos.

Did you really expect much more from a yahoo article?

Who on earth decided to leave the projector on while they took the group photo?

Not worth watching past season 4, imo. Season 2 is the peak season, if you ask me.

The community tends to favor more permissive licenses in general. I think a lot of it is due to a large amount of core libraries (often owned by members of the core team, in Rust nursery, or otherwise central to the ecosystem) using MIT or Apache 2.0, which means users who begin publishing their own libraries and know next to nothing about licenses will just follow suit.

I do wonder how it would hold up on court to basically clone something by rewriting it in a different programming language and then relicense it. I’m no lawyer though, I have little understanding of how these things work.
