Nobody asked for an argument, and by downvoting any argument on my part was prevented. I can explain why I find it immoral: I think the world has many real and deep problems, and investing in a web application that is…
I think we can debate that point, but what I can't understand is the reason behind the downvotes. Downvoting prevents the debate entirely, and I find it unreasonable.
OK, I think an app this simple doesn't need funding, specially in a world where people die of starvation and malaria. Yet all I get for my observation is downvotes.
I think the app is not hard to build, so funding is not necessary.
Why do they need the funding? I find it dishonest and immoral.
Can you show an example of what you are describing? It doesn't sound interesting for the tasks I have in mind, so it must be the case that you are dealing with very complex tasks.
You have probably seen code written by the best programmers you know, and I guess you are comparing their work with the code in open source projects. As the rest of us can't see their code, it's impossible to agree with…
I disagree. Learn the language and discover the new way of doing things it proposes. The approach Lua takes is very elegant, worth learning.
I think it is a matter of perspective. People still die of starvation and lack basic health care, there are still slaves in the world, and you are devastated for reasons that are absurd. Take a look at this picture:…
This is actually a very complicated way of achieving the goal. It works, but it's not good from an economic point of view as it is more expensive in computational terms than a simpler OO alternative, which is to pass…
I think it's bad manners to act like if the author owed you something. Redis is a monumental personal effort, and a lot of people try to help in many different ways because they are grateful such a tool exists. If you…
