They don't. They use science to explore the nature of politics. The results are predictable though: Most people are stupid and do not have well-founded opinions.

I take it you do not actually need an explanation what happens when you negate an implication.

Compilers are not smart enough for this.

Believe that if you want. It is not the reality.

Well, yes. But if it was not mandatory it would not be controversial either.

Well, if the language is deserved, nobody will be sorry to see you go. People not listening to valid concerns when they are voiced in a reasonable manner, eventually get shouted at and rightfully so.

Yes, you are right. He still is a casualty if the way systemd is pushed through.

And you think there are people that can write good software for such a thing? Most developers fail even when there is one benign execution mechanism, such as a virtual machine. This is just an academic that wants attention.

As violence in video-games was in ascend, you fail.

Now, if they were just trying to do this idea to TV, it would be sure to be squashed immediately. A pity.

It is not. The API is the _idea_ what something is supposed to do. Technical/scientific/mathematical ideas are not protected, and rightfully so.

And as somebody who has seen what Indian outsourced "quality code" looks like, having them not produce the code saves you 6 months and 20k. Because what they routinely produce is worth less than nothing. Now, I am not saying that Indian developers are more stupid, not at all. But none of the good ones are in outsourcing. You find the good ones in Europe, the US and other places, earning regular salaries. The outsourcing companies get the leftovers. That is why they are so cheap.

Fits my observations from doing code reviews.
