It's actually no longer Java, but bondage-and-discipline by syntax gets tiresome at some point.

Re: Don't get me started on Modula2

Modula 2 is a very nice language.

If you want to not "get yourself started" maybe you should delete your compiler, then step away from your workstation.

Really, compare it to the stuff that was floating around when it was designed. There wasn't even a C++.

Why you would post "inflammatory messages" about Modula-2 is beyond me (except if you used the m2c translator, bletch!). We had a few self-styled "C hackers" patting themselves on the shoulder for having written incomprehensible garbage with all the stuff they mis-taught themselves during high school. Not one of them, perchance?

Re: Thank you for this.

"I wrote a few crappy programs in Java that could do some basic things. After a year or so of this I then decided that I'd much rather do anything else other than be a developer for a living."

Yeah, so is Trevor even writing about this?

Next article: "I hate X not because there's anything inherently wrong with the X, but because of a decade's worth of people who still haven't figured out how to use it as designed."

> I hope science will bridge that gap

Isn't that "physics envy" talking? One may like to have simple explanations, possibly adduced with a few equations, that fit on a page. Unfortunately, complex system, unlike the physical foundations (which themselves are still in need of amendments) do not offer themselves to an approach like that. You are left with a large bag of tricks to somewhat "explain" your complex system which yields a moderately successful explanations, but you will be unlikely to do much better, really. You can bridge the gaps more solidly if your simulations take off in a big way of course, but there isn't enough CPU power or a spare planet in a timewarp for that yet.

How unconvenient!

Real men set "speed of light = 1", which is of course how $deity wants it scaled. You can then abuse the equations and drop the "c" everywhere.

Re: Distinction between art and science overplayed

What does this even mean?

I am reminded of my old language high school teacher pleading with us cold mathematicians to appreciate some poor sod writing german sonnets back in the 17th century. Okay, one may appreciate it, but so what? That differential equation ain't gonna solve itself!

Can I "report abuse" for pointless, not-even-trying, 0/10 trolling by random 'tards posting from their parents' basement?

LAMP stack being used.

You have mighty though possibly hasty access to reality-based truthiness, oh wise one. Might one inquire about how you obtain your amazing knowledge about the operating system, webserver and database used?

Re: No one. At all.

What you mean to say is "No-one who holds the stance opposite to mine is coming to my side", which is being in close orbit around the Apple Nucleus.

Re: Essential clarification and emph

We read at https://plus.google.com/108413286958999778262/posts/Mo7ZnHY3Xhi

If you fork Mayan EDMS into a closed or private respository, stop and think about what you are doing because you going about it the wrong way.

Maybe so, but the GPL does not particularly say anything about not being able to fork privately. It's probably against the spirit and a waste of resources though.

Likewise if you fork Mayan EDMS and the first patch you commit is to change the name, stop.

Okay, that sounds dishonorable but it's still not forbidden.

It has come to my attention that there are a number of unauthorized forks of Mayan EDMS being offered for download as if the original version was being abandoned

Who authorizes the forks and how? One might assume it's against the GPL. Does he want particular restrictions for GPL-ed software, for example for commerical users? The GPL says no, you can't do that. Kind of a pickle, then. Like that bizarre MySQL dual licensing scheme that self-contradicts.

and at least one fork is being sold with a comercial license to add insult to injury.

We still don't know whether this is against the GPL or not. If he wants to invoke copyright restrictions on GPL-ed code, again, problem, though the lawyers may be happy.

These violators have been listed in a new page called GPL violations.

Jesuitism? In my forum?

There is no such thing as unauthorized fork under GPL.

Steve Knox: What law of physics prevents people from removing copyright notices?

The first statement clearly means that you are free to fork under the GPL at any time as long as you follow the requirements of the GPL, which is to keep the fork under the GPL etc. etc. etc.

I don't know what point you are trying to make here or why anyone would upvote you. Please reconsider.

Re: Picasso

> I think only copying was involved, not stealing.

If you steal a great artist, that's called "kidnapping" and frowned upon.
