I know it's fashionable to have a defeatist view of current american politics, but I honestly don't see how the current political climate in the United States is any more dysfunctional than the American political machinations of the early 1900's that led to the election of Teddy Roosevelt, a notorious "strongman" in high office, who after being "disappointed" by his chosen successor, and then friend, Taft decided to run for a third-term in high office. And to suggest Dorothy Thompson would be ignorant of, then recent, political history seems misguided.

Its a peculiarly composite article in that the first half is about the cool advantages of several new technologies that conceptually boil down to extremely high quality and strength bulk plywood, so you can have a 12 inch structural beam that's 40 feet long, etc. This is new technology and it usually takes building codes awhile to accept new technology. Every line of a building code was written on a stack of dead bodies, changing codes is a very serious business.

The second half of the article is completely unrelated, just interior decorating fashion is going thru its periodic fascination with finished wood a-la knotty pine wall paneling mancaves in the 1970s. There's nothing wrong with it although all those interior finishes could be done with veneer on metal or various faux processes having nothing to do with the first half of the article.
You are trying too hard and thanks to your recent comparison with the capital of a country that has been / is currently governed by military dictatorship, I really can no longer take you seriously.
It's a complicated problem though. Everyone wants to make as much as possible, but everyone also wants (economically speaking) everyone else to make as little as possible.

A union job is great for me. But it's bad for me if my plumber has a union job because then it will cost more to fix my sink.

In economics (and ecology, evolution, etc.) it's actually quite strange for something not to be a paradox. Straightforward linear behavior in complex living systems is weird, and if you think you have an example you're probably missing something.
Yes, they vary widely. With a vast majority of cases being trivial, simpler-than-textbook, and the rest mostly suitable for a nice and clean split between the C.R.U.D. workflow part and all that complex logic you're talking about, which is also usually being implemented by the idiots in a most unsuitable way, using low level languages and no proper abstractions.

And yes, ERP is a pile of stupid shit. But you need an army of morally deprived Oracle-style salesmen to sell shit to the world. I know it well, worked a lot with the Oracle "partners" in the past. Oracle is a synonym for "overengineering".

Feminism has never demanded equal respect. Two Si olé examples,

1. Australian right for women to vote. It took another 60 years because they didn't care about aboriginal votes. That's not equality!!!
2. An education system that went from a majority of honors students being male to 80% women earning honors in 30 years - and you call that equality? Do you argue that boys have become stupid (as is the modern myth of feminism) for such a drastic swing at almost all levels of academia.

Feminism has nothing to do with equality. The poster you responded to was totally correct. Research falling performance of boys before commenting. While you're at it, check hiring rates and incomes of younger women in the states. I hear the word pendulum swing (which means double standard hypocrite) a lot these days.
My presumption is that the question is more one of social conformity. Consider "why don't you wear a suit?", "why don't you stand for the Pledge of Allegiance?", "why do you eat fish on Friday?", "why can't you answer the phone on Saturday?"

Those are structurally similar questions, with the underlying premise "you are different." What obligation does the person who is different have to explain to those who don't understand? Very little if any, I think.

Now, your presumption does have some merit. My experience says that it's very minor. Very few people contribute to a project, and infrastructure rarely plays a role.

The FOQ even points out in the second answer, "There have been seven website patches from the community in the last three years". How many more contribution do you think they would get if they switched to Markdown over HTML? And how much work would it be to convert both the website and existing practices? Is it worthwhile?

> at odds with the nature of open source

Well, yes and no. "Open source" is applied to both a development model and a distribution model. My company sells software under a BSD license. I am the primary developer, though I've received a few patches and I paid someone to work on part of the code.

The development is all through my email. Do you call that "open source" or do you prefer a different label?

The difference is less entangled in the free software philosophy. You have the freedom to develop code for yourself and distribute it, and to ignore contributions. Compare that to your view concerning open source software, where there is at least some obligation to consider external contributions.

It probably helped that a sizable portion of the food crops were sprayed with Agent Orange by US forces, rendering them worse than useless.
> Because you buy into the idea of opposing ideologies, of national identity

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have things like this or racism; but it's extremely naive to pretend it doesn't exist. If you have any familiarity with current events in East Asia, you'll know that nationalism is on the rise.

On a related note, did you not read this portion of my comment? "I'm guessing (and hoping) that most naturalized US citizens are way more loyal than that and I feel that Chinese Americans born and raised in the US don't have this issue at all." Everything isn't black and white.

> You can, rather, look at this from the perspective of arguing parents, where they want you to pick one or the other. The only way to win is to not play, and to derive identity from your self, rather than what patch of dirt you happened to be born upon.

There are multiple problems with this analogy. 1. You only get the 3rd choice if you're willing not to live in either parent's house when we're talking countries.
2. Another problem is that you're looking at this from a Western perspective. In the East, especially in Asia; you derive your identify more from the group and not the individual; so if you consider yourself more 'Chinese' than 'American', you're going to symphatize more with one side. It's a different culture that you're obviously not familiar with.
Unless I'm mistaken and in light of the fact that infrastructure is mostly publicly funded, this is pretty much (true but) completely irrelevant.

Smaller countries also often depend on and have a very close relationship with the major private companies. For instance, Samsung builds apartments and helps fund subways.
Wow.

The film's creation set off a chain of events which would lead the Directors Guild of America to officially discontinue the Alan Smithee credit in 2000. Its plot (about a director attempting to disown a film) eventually, and ironically, described the film's own production; director Arthur Hiller requested that his name be removed after witnessing the final cut of the film by the studio.

"But it's not the only qualification necessary for the job."

Exactly, but it is one qualification of many. If you have a white man with a stellar application for that position, and a woman of color with a similarly stellar application for that position, doesn't the woman of color necessarily get the job because she has more qualifications than the white man?

The point is there is always going to be a person of color that is more qualified than the white man for that leadership position because their experience as a person of color makes them more qualified for the position, everything else being equal, and they should thus be given it. Is that not reasonable?
Even in theory we can pretty much guarantee a non-objective outcome because that's the lobbyist's intent.
Interesting, thanks for the link. This part strikes me as particularly relevant to the current state of things in the US, especially for blue collar/middle class:

The "New Poor" are the most likely source of converts for mass movements/for they recall their former wealth with resentment and blame others for their current misfortune. Examples include the mass evictions of relatively prosperous tenants during the English Civil War of the 1600s or the middle- and working-classes in Germany who passionately supported Hitler in the 1930s after suffering years of economic hardship. In contrast, the "abjectly poor" on the verge of starvation make unlikely true believers as their daily struggle for existence takes pre-eminence over any other concern.[5]

Power asymmetry makes sense at higher top to bottom levels, but not at the individual being hired level. There is no power asymmetry between candidates. That is, another interviewee has no power over me, nor I over her. And here we're implying hiring one type displaces one of another type and we're saying that we prefer one type to be displaced rather than another type to be displaced.

Additionally, if we accept that white women are underrepresented then what it's doing is saying that some underrepresentations are better than others.
Depends where you are and which ones you go to. One "flagship" farmer's market in town sells pastries and yellow strawberries and artisanal jam, while the other takes food stamps and sells rutabagas and bok choi and chinese broccoli and chard and squash. 2$ for a veggie bunch, $5 for two trays of mix&match green beans, carrots, tomatoes. I can go there with $20 and come back with more food than 2 people could eat in a week if I don't buy meat. They've chosen different markets to target.

"between states to more than 40 speaking engagements."
"I traveled to nearly every part of the country to cover his political events,”
"Skidmore is hot on the campaign trail again, toggling his time between New Hampshire, Iowa, and Arizona"

Prohibitively expensive is a relative term, but it is hard to imagine this not costing 10s of thousands of dollars and being out of the reach of most high school and college students.
"Do not start an open source project if you need praise, warmth and love from your fellow human beings."

They do have a "committed by" feature that appears when you cherry-pick someone else's commit to a branch.

> countries - just like people - should be judged by their actions and loyalty should be earned rather than demanded.

I agree. On that note, maintaining a dual citizenship is an action that will be judged. Even with the constant influx of immigrants, it's rare to see. Less than half of 1% of a population of about 300 million people maintain dual citizenships. Most immigrants that attain US citizenship do not maintain a dual one.

That's an excellent comment. Very insightful. I saw a rebuttal of the feminisation of education, but here's a good link that talks about the modern disparity. It's quite prejudiced (eg. Ignores a huge shift away from boys performance - which any honest person knows is true),

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/education/09college.html?p...

This article even gets offended when girls aren't totally dominating by an overwhelming majority at ALL institutions. That's feminism.
that would be ~12.14. 12.17 build was after crucial devs departure and is full of critical bugs (constant crashing due to linking broken openssl, 64bit build unusable, etc).
Yeah, it's easily abused and trivial errors of judgement create non-trivial problems later down the line.

IMO part of the problem is that nested LESS/SASS looks just enough like JSON to mislead inexperienced devs, who often try to treat the nested structure as an object, rather than thinking of it as a string-builder.

It invariably ends up creating huge swarths of pointless specificity and stylesheet bloat.

On the cost of cameras, if anything, they have gotten much more expensive. It used to be possible to buy a pro-quality film camera and prime lens for less than $1,000 -- so, let's say $1500 in today's dollars. More money might get you features like better auto-exposure, auto-focus or high-speed film winders, but a lot of pros didn't use any of those features, and back in the day when I was shooting sports events at my college, I often had a more modern camera rig than the pros sitting next to me. Digital cameras that give similar image quality as those film cameras start at $2,500 today, and go up from there. It feels like the divide between pro and amateur equipment in photography has shot through the roof over the past decade, with the blanket adoption of digital.

What has gotten cheaper / more accessible is the ability to publicize, duplicate and distribute one's work. Twenty years ago, short of dropping off prints at the local newspaper, there would be no way for an amateur photographer to get her photos under the nose of photo editors at major news outlets. Today, that's as simple as uploading to Flickr.

> On every project that I have worked on, developer support for projects increased with the amount of users.

Cool anecdote, bro. Some projects are fortunate that way, but I'd say it's only those in the "Goldilocks" zone in which your user based overlaps significantly with average-developer skills. At one end of the scale, as another responder pointed out, the vast majority of people who care about your project will be below that level technically. At the other end of the scale, as for example when working on a distributed filesystem, the inherent difficulty of the project itself will be above that level. Either way, you'll get very few developers relative to the number of people making demands. The specific domain of a project also makes a difference here. If your projects are in a specialty and at a level where you get lots of developers, as I said, good for you. That doesn't mean your situation is sufficiently common to justify your callow dismissal of others' experience or concerns.

In Spanish regions controlled by anarchists during the Spanish Civil War (a country which at the time had a lot of dirt poor farmers and a lot less large landowners), landowners were given the choice between working their lands collectively, or keeping only the land they could work themselves. That's not the same thing as Ayn Rand-style libertarianism.

I don't think you understand what he is getting at, the business classes are protected and subsidized by state power, the people who own society and the majority of businesses people work at are shielded from market competition by the state.

The vast majority of the population however is not, individually they would want to protect their incomes and their jobs, the same way the upper class uses state power to protect themselves from competition from other states the masses via state subsidies.

The state intervenes on behalf of employers to keep wages down.
