Anonymity also makes it really easy to simulate something if you want to imply something about human nature. Thats luckily something that is fixable client side. Just be less gullible.
I think it’s more like that these boards attract a specific type of person, not people in general. People generally don’t like racists because they’re also generally awful people as well. That’s why they’re banned off of most of the internet and the real world.
The way online racists act is very different from general racism irl. It’s a much more hateful form and seems a bit more all over the place. They won’t just hate one ethnic group, they’ll hate everything and everyone that isn’t exactly like them.
Most people are either pleasant or neutral irl. There are no consequences for what you say online so people tend to be their worst on the internet. If people were generally awful, we wouldn't have any form of society anywhere in the world.
There isn't much special secret sauce that Netflix has at the OS layer of things, so there's not much reason for them to keep the patches in-house (and then have to maintain as the public source rolls forward). Other vendors that give back are Dell EMC Isilon (keeping their OneFS code private), Juniper, Netgate, etc.
Sony is unique in that it was a one-time fork, and now that the product is out there's not much churn in things.
Most vendors have learned that keeping things in-house just causes pain down the road when you have to re-base with the latest FreeBSD release.
If you're fine with violating the license, then there is nothing stopping you from closing the source to GPL licensed software without a word of credit. I'm not sure what your point is.
There is a lot to that thought. Perhaps the author just needed a book agent, someone who would take their creative output and find the publishers that wanted that sort of material.
In my experience mentoring folks, when they hate what they are doing it often comes down to "not enough money" or "because someone would pay me to do it." The money discussion is always interesting because people often goal "lots of money" without asking themselves what they would do if they had "lots of money." I know a bunch of engineers who, through fortuitous circumstances got to the "lots of money" stage, decided to "retire" and do only what they wanted to do, only to find themselves going back to work because after you take a year off or so the lack of mental stimulation and challenge (the whole thing that attracted them to engineering in the first place) was missing in their life. They learned late that setting a goal of "interesting problems which challenge me creatively" is much better for them than "lots of money."
I personally love programming, always have. But I have come to hate programming something again that I already have, in a different framework/abi, because some third party had to re-invent the wheel and forgot that all wheels need axles and attachment points Etc.
Agreed. As soon as the post pivoted from doing the writing, to all of the other aspects associated with running a business, I lost interest. The author would do well to understand the power of delegation.
I'm not sure delegating would have saved him either. I think his boredom about marketing shows a missing essential curiosity about things. Boredom kills!
> But I somehow always knew, if I had to do this 8 hours a day, for projects I am likely not intrinsically motivated to work on, I'd likely hate it after a few weeks
You just play with programming languages on the surface. Programming is something different and chances are you won't like it.
>I envy those which managed to make this passion into a paying job without loosing the love for it.
Wait, I have never said anything about my supposed abilities or self-perceived performance regarding programming. How come you are diagnosing overconfidence from afar, without knowing anything beyond the few lines I've written? Being slapped with that link without any further comment feels quite out of place to say the least. Besides, this posting was about deliberately having decided to not become a programmer professionally. I am having a hard time to understand how you diagnose overconfidence from that, quite the contrary actually...
>Wait, I have never said anything about my supposed abilities or self-perceived performance regarding programming
How come? You said you are a ‘polyglot’.
Human language polyglots are geniuses who know several languages on a decent level. If you checked several courses on Duolingo, chances are you are not one.
The same applies to programming languages.
Maybe, stop calling yourself a synonym of ‘genius’ to avoid receiving references to Dunning-Kruger effect.
>How come you are diagnosing overconfidence from afar, without knowing anything beyond the few lines I've written?
Few lines are enough to see inconsistencies in your words and realize that I was in your shoes.
The only difference is that as a script-kiddie “having dabbled in a two-digit amount of programming languages“ I decided to give it a try and shifted to programming in my career. It’s not what I thought it was, so I cleaned out my closet from amateurish illusions, focused on 2 languages and I’m quite satisfied with my job.
>Must be an outlet of some discord/irc channel (which?)
It's totally not this.
The only thing I did to promote čudan was spamming a lot on other Western textboards and a bit of other sites (like hackernews) and couple of textboard related IRC-channels.
>How does this "board" with only 3 threads get so many responses?
I wish I knew, too. I can only suppose people like the design (it appears that nice dark theme and responsive layout are kinda novelty for 2channel-style textboards in 2023).
