which is to say only gamblers are ever willing to hire me

very nice, this is how I can now quickly say it and clearly think it: I've only ever worked for gamblers!
the 'cool' thing is that not even the purported 'business owner' owns their own data, what do they actually own? what is even their business? on the modern trend, all businesses really are: is just a collection of…
I just hope that the notion and traditional cultural practice of "this idea is mine, therefore it cannot be yours" dies soon once it does we can have a new digital renaissance but if people see the phrase "original…
counter example: what is this website called? you're telling me Hacker News is a who?
my much less informed take on this topic: I considered "why?", "what?", and "how to?" by thinking the types of answers: 'what' expects an answer of a name, or reference. 'how' expects an answer of a recipe, like an…
this actually may help me clear out a subtle distinction: the documentation has the same socialpolitical problem as any other artistic expression encoded into a digital asset but the code has a subtly different…
so long as we can read the source code AND debug the program, it's ok. it may be difficult, but sometimes things are difficult free and open source but private and paid for documentation???
do not underestimate the agendas for centralization of power and control do not underestimate the sticky pull of collecting ̶r̶e̶n̶t̶^C ̶t̶a̶x̶e̶s̶subscriptions from people
> Is it even possible to empirically validate such a thing? I wouldn't think so because empiricism implies experience which implies time
my point is that I refuse to adjust my expectations to a technological environment in which we are ok with having to pay per API call to use software. I reject a future in which all software works as a subscription…
they're an endangered species, so to say... you should learn about systems software... they may be 'vanishingly small' but they're there in the foundations of the entire computing stack. done once, a long time ago, and…
because rent i.e. taxes i.e. licensing fees i.e. insurance coverage i.e. rent is just too good when you're collecting it and nobody would give it up
this is equally applicable to you: to believe you're right regardless of correctness for the sake of feeling well. but I'm not interested in mere feeling well, I want to BE well. I find it difficult to find other's with…
I see this as a problem to be solved in the software-education space
this is IBM firing its guns straight at liberty minded software here come the rent seekers: soon enough we will have to pay per character we type. this may seem exaggerated and I really really do hope it stays a gross…
to write is different from to rewrite but c'mon. I'm referring to the fact that code can be made into libraries, or APIs if you're so keen on collecting rent and then as a digital asset, the library can be copied and…
but do not make the mistake I have: to believe doing this will get anybody to accept that you understand, or at least this has been my experience so far.
> “The justice system in Veracruz can’t be relied on to investigate, punish, or deter criminals, nor has the government launched a major campaign to boost the vanilla industry” source: I'm Mexican, I would say this…
mexico has a lot of underground economies: step 1: wage a war of disinformation of vanilla "vanilla is getting the kids high" step 2: end up making it illegal, of course, vanilla will keep coming step 3: declare war on…
welding needs to be repeated for every building code is written once, then everybody can copy it to make use of it why is this such a huge problem? what to do about it? I have a lot of opinions around this but it…
my problem with this theory I can only explain in my own terms my problem is that this perspective confuses together individuals and systems no great men exist in isolation, some name takes most of the credit but…
