puppetmaster3··on CEO Larry Page defends Google on the stand: “Declaring code is not code”
Clearly Google internally said they should license it and that they should remove the copy righ from the code.

Right? http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/05/top-programmer-de...

puppetmaster3··on Bootcamps vs. College
Also cheaper and faster, a good way to save tax resources maybe?

Investor seem to like bombastic claims and bombastic people.
puppetmaster3··on Stakes Are High in Oracle v. Google, But the Public Has Already Lost
The problem is with source theft(cut paste): http://majadhondt.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/googles-9-lines

Clearly what they did is read how the code in question works, then stole the idea to do it their way. They were looking at the source code! They did not start w/ API, there is no clean room argument that can stand ground to reason. I blame the Oracle lawyers for loosing.

puppetmaster3··on Stakes Are High in Oracle v. Google, But the Public Has Already Lost
It's simple, as a professional developer (that gets paid, more is better) I want companies to get paid for software and well.

When they don't, I'm not happy, so I hope Oracle wins. But Google will win, not because they are right. Oracle's lawyers are idiots as they can't show it's same. For example run apache http client jar on android and java. It's same. Idiots.

And would you want Google to violate GPL?

'This is true, most of the time.'

You can just stop there.

puppetmaster3··on Uber drivers, if employees, owed $730M more: U.S. court papers
Unless the driver is also a Lyft driver and decides to use both. Most do.

Also, Payroll taxes are regressive IMO.

puppetmaster3··on OxyContin's 12-hour problem
No it's not.
puppetmaster3··on Why a Logging Framework Should Not Log
That's why I said that you have not used it in anger in production environments. Anyway, good luck.
puppetmaster3··on OxyContin's 12-hour problem
It's quite simple: Don't do drugs.

Next question please.

puppetmaster3··on Why a Logging Framework Should Not Log
If your libs use multiple loggers, then you are SOL.
puppetmaster3··on Why a Logging Framework Should Not Log
I don't believe you.

Even the docs say it does not work w/ multiple loggers. But I'm not here to teach, good luck.

puppetmaster3··on Why a Logging Framework Should Not Log
I doubt that you have used the SLF4J bridge in any realsitic situation, else you would not say that it works.
puppetmaster3··on Why a Logging Framework Should Not Log
The logging in java is supper idiotic. This is because everyone agrees that Java's logging is shit.

So every library uses something else. I have a small project and have 4 logging systems (that I had to integrate).

ps: if you are a business person and have an option on this, I don't care for it regardless of your pov.

"Software Development is going to be a competitive advantage"

Let me fix that: if done well.

puppetmaster3··on Feinstein-Burr: The Bill That Bans Your Browser
My guess is that the rest of the USA calls it 'the left coast', as in left-leaning.

Compared to middle that is conservative leaning.

puppetmaster3··on Feinstein-Burr: The Bill That Bans Your Browser
She is for sale, and apparently worth the money.
puppetmaster3··on Feinstein-Burr: The Bill That Bans Your Browser
You had me at Feinstein.

Some software is approved. Others, including open source is banned: dangerous.

Feinstein!

puppetmaster3··on Born for it – How the image of software developers came about
Programming is a dead end job, mostly for immigrants. What you want is an MBA.
puppetmaster3··on Dolphins as a model for alien intelligence
Yes, based on all the aliens, this checks out.

In most EU countries they would be jailed.
puppetmaster3··on Canadians may soon need a visa to enter the EU
Yes, and Turkey (80 million middle eastern people) will get EU membership.

Merkel cut a deal w/ Turkey to take back immigrants in return for EU membership.

puppetmaster3··on Developers, Being Treated Poorly? You Are Not Alone
This is normal treatment of developers world wide as developers are viewed by MBA as blue collar workers.

What is the best way for me to avoid this?

puppetmaster3··on Oracle wants $9.3B for Google’s use of Java in Android
1. Oracle's lawyers are idiots as they can't show it's same. For example run apache http client jar on android and java. It's same. Idiots.

2. If Oracle's dumb lawyers win, I'm happy. I get paid a salary to work. Why should companies get code for free, why do they need me. Copying and violating a license is bad. Even GPL and other code I write, respect the license.

3. To summarize, would you want Google to violate GPL?
