Nobody likes to talk about how almost everything is blocked from Iran. Not just as of late, but for years.
sanctioning intellectual resources and knowledge really must be illegal. I can understand it for proprietary things. But FOSS stuff being unavailable? That is pure hypocrisie.
"No you're from a bad country you're not allowed to learn"
One hour only scratches the surface though.
But I really like the git email workflow. It's so simple (not easy) and pure. If my colleagues could get on board with me I would definitely be using it at work.
Great point. But to be honest I already have an emulator open 99% of the time. So there's no particular overhead for me.
But I will include your point in the update. Thank you for your time!
And most of writing of gnu and fsf are a lot of words to say "free software good proprietary software bad" for example?
That's why we write! :)
When I say "I prefer CLI and TUI over GUI" I might need to explain why. And explain when a GUI might be a better option.
I write these for myself and my friends and colleagues mostly. I just happen to share them on the internet :)
Oh that's just the delusion of freedom. USA is great at selling that.
We will still fight but accepting the truth is always the sane approach compared to hopeful optimism .
Russia and china and easterns are more straight forward. "We don't want you to have privacy and control"
Western countries wrap it around a populistic shiny wrapper. "This is the land of freedom, you are encouraged to have privacy and controll, unless you actually try to do so" they also let people play in the dirt unless they are doing something serious and pose some threat. But eastern governments are much less tolerant. You will be punished even for minor inconvenience.
The whole world is going that direction. Russia, north korea and china are leading the way, wester countries are more sly and subtle in how to do things, but america and UK are going the same direction.
wow such a great post! I loved how simply and like he said, intuitively he explained this.
This really highlights how goo S-expressions and lisp syntax is.
The compatibility stuff really do need understanding.
You can't use all other projects in your GPL project and your GPL project cant be used within every project.
permissive licenses really do have no compatibility since they forbid nothing and allow everything (which isnt good most of the time) so tgey are simpler to use.
I'm not sure but theres something in my mind bout MIT being the first suggested license for github.
and also, to be real, you need to do some reasearch and actually understand the GPL license if you want to use it for your project. But with MIT you can just slap it on there and forget. It's convenient, but like a lot of conveniences, can be very bad.
I think a part of it may be that they are from the younger generation like myself, and most of them don't really know the history of software and FOSS, and MIT is just a safe option for them.
I think they haven't really put in the time to read and undertstand the philosophy and logic behind FOSS and read the licenses and writings.
It's just so powerful and versatile.
I've been only using it for less than a year, but you can do most things with clojure, and do them good.
GUI, Web backend, frontend, logic programminc, scripting, CLI tools, and so on.
After you get the hang of it and REPL driven development, your productivity keeps getting more.
One thing that makes me really believe in it is how people that are good with it are so productive with it, I would say more that other languages.
There are so many great projects built by a small team or solo devs in clojure.
