Don't be daft. I am not going to play this game.

While I agree that ideological conformity is a problem, I think it's a symptom rather than something that needs to be fixed itself at the moment. You would probably see more distributed alignment within certain communities if there wasn't so much "noise" elsewhere.
There are certainly cases where the government soaks up funding, gives it to a company, for absolutely no other reason that we can tell other than to just funnel money along into their little corner of the country (and thus their constituents).
But I have a really hard time believing that is the case here.
Cars can kill people, but they are primarily used for transportation.
Guns have no other purpose but to kill. You may use it for other stuff (sport, in general). But it was created to kill something. Any analogy where you take some other object that has the potential to be purposefully misused is pretty much invalid when you're talking about the other object's primary purpose.
As an expert on myself, I must disagree.
>If you don't get any benefit out of a tool, then don't use that tool.
I don't use it. But I think you need to remember what I replied to, as that's an ill-placed sentiment in this thread.
Please do not devolve the conversation by making outlandish statements that have no bearing on the conversation.
>If you need something that works in exactly the way you're used to and that's how you evaluated fossil
That's the exact opposite point I made though. Fossil constrains me in how I work and how I accomplish certain tasks -- with no benefit. Neither Git or Mercurial do that. What Fossil can do, both Git and Mercurial can do better. So why would I choose Fossil?
Bundles do not have anywhere near the same flexibility and nuanced capacity that patches do.
>The work philosophy is different, though.
That's an apology if I've ever seen one. Again, not the same.
>False.
Rename a file. Then try to merge. Tell me what happens.
You can't do patches. You can't rebase. You can't rename files.
Tell me all about this good software and imagination you speak of?
"Life sucks sometimes" is also a thought terminating cliche, as such you should really avoid using it -- if you're actually trying to contribute to the discussion instead of sounding like a daft moron.
It's being used to downplay the original statement -- not add to it.
Yeah, no. As someone who hires on the east coast, and has a pretty extensive network of professional peers in generally "high" positions -- all these general assumptions about applying the SF market to anywhere else in the country is complete non-sense. And rightly so.
HAHA SNARKY COMMENTS!
That is a completely ridiculous statement with absolutely no basis in reality.
These types of statements are not constructive in any way.
This is an incredibly stupid bug and it's eating up my disk space (until I clean it up of course). I am literally talking about 10 entire albums at a time every time I make a purchase. It's been going on for the last year. I'm not sure why I still use iTunes anymore to be quite honest. I buy my songs through iTunes and then they get uploaded to google music, and I think I've just been going about it as a matter of habit all this time.
