Gotta practice that passive language to avoid laying blame anywhere. Wouldn’t want to step in it themselves, right?

The sooner we switch, the better off we’ll be environmentally, too.

It’s like everyone forgot he was busy causing constitutional chaos to avoid justice.

Maybe I’m becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don’t really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. “Yes, so much bargaining power!”

I can’t find the article I’m thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don’t even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.

I’m not a fan of LPC either, but I wouldn’t say he broke all of his promises.

He didn’t keep them all, either.

I hope so. Room temperature superconductivity would make so many things economically viable overnight…

Copyright won’t help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would’ve resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.

Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren’t interested in accepting fixes.

I would honestly love a rule banning the submission of articles that use the “slammed/blasted” headline.
