@maiyannah That is the reason I go out of my way not to identify my $EMPLOYER. They are already paranoid about people thinking they might endorse whatever employees might say.
But no one ever thinks "Does everything I say represent what my employer believes?", a question with an obvious answer of "No" for the overwhelming majority of employees in any organization with more than one person working there.
Brutal. However, this is written like it comes from a jilted lover, full of emotional "you're going to regret dumping me" statements. It's almost as bad as what the Cleveland Cavaliers owner wrote when LeBron James accepted Miami's offer many years ago.
I think the article would have been better if it just concentrated on where the Indianapolis Colts are today and what they stand to gain or lose with any known-to-be-available NFL head coach candidates.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @moonman SeriousPoster must be hosted on Tranquillity.se. So is nu.federati.net, currently, so experiencing some downtime there as well.
@lnxw48a1 @verius Oh its certainly about control. They fear what they can't control.

VeriusThis https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/botr/intro-to-clr.md is a quite interesting read. And it got me thinking of the marketing of Rust. As the doc rightly mentions non-trivial programs often have hard-to-predict lifetimes. Rust's famous memory guarantees are very dependent on static understanding of lifetime. Now I don't claim to fully understand Rust but as far as I can see it only provides a partial solution to memory safety (for variables with statically determined lifetimes, though at zero runtime overhead) where GC provides a full solution (though at an overhead that varies between insignificant and crippling depending on workload and performance targets). Meanwhile GC is waaaay easier to program with, which actually matters a great deal out there in the real world where your coders might not be the best and the brightest.

AnnahHate's easy, and ironically that is exactly what the psople crowing about hate speech do. They hate you have a posistion opposite to theirs, they need it to silenced, no opposition to the One True Position can be counternanced. There is a grim irony that this is basically the same psychology as the NDA, aka the Nazis.
@dolus I suspect they are making a slap at Eben Moglen's Software Freedom Law Center and their ridiculous trademark action against Software Freedom Conservancy.
