>but the stories became much more opinionated

same here, OSNews become Thom's personal blog, and I left the site permanetly after he went full SJW in the gamergate days.

strange how things change, not many websites stay the same, even arstechnica which was one of the best became more and more mainstream and spammy

And if you dare to question that there are more than two genders then good by.

This is a silly statement.

I'd be amazed if you somehow managed to question this and still make it related to the Linux kernel...

This is the problem with this covenant, anything you say personally in your own social networks will also be taken into account.

That's not true. In fact, it's a specific misrepresentation of the CoC. Whoever planted that idea, did it in bad faith:

> This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.

It's very specific. If you're representing the community, and you say something bigoted, then, yeah, that might be brought up. But that should be the case. No project wants its representatives doing stuff that reflects badly on the project or which creates a bad culture in the project community.

Besides, it's also just not a very good idea to post bigoted things, both in terms of making a better society and culture, and in terms of just following the Golden Rule and being nice to other people.

Well sure its never a good idea to post bigoted things online but truth is even if the CoC wasn't meant to socially persecute individuals for what they do in their private time, it will most likely happen regardless.

This is the way of life for most now. If you say anything remotely offensive and it ends up online/traceable to you. You will loose your job and most, if not all other actual job possibilities.

Yes you may argue that one should never do that (and I certainly agree) however, everyone is human and we all make mistakes. So what happens when we as a society decide to totally condemn individuals for their mistakes without allowing them to learn from them in the first place? I would wager, probably something not so nice.

What would that have to do with a Linux Kernel?

I don't recoment Kotling becuase despite being Open Source it requires a proprietary closed source IDE to use it, they have plugin for Eclipse but it will be always a second class citizen and the free version (IDEA) cannot comapre to Eclipse. To me is just a trojan horse that is heavily marketed by Jetbrains, even for Android apps I'd recoment Dart with Flutter over it.

Idea Community Edition is free and open source. It supports Kotlin with the same plugin. Whether it's comparable to Eclipse is debatable. I like Idea much more.

Objectively, Eclipse is milles ahead and more complete than IDEA, it is a toy compared to Eclipse

Having used both I can't imagine what you are talking about. Which features in Eclipse is Idea missing?

First of all, I'm talking about the free version of IntelliJ (IDEA), you cannot use it to create Java EE applications and the HTML and JavaScript editors are pretty basic as everything else.

- Incremental compilation on save

- Not spinning the hard disk all the time indexing libraries

- Showing Javadoc by default without extra configuration steps

AFAIK intellij/idea is open source:

>and the free version (IDEA) cannot comapre to Eclipse.

I already adressed it in my original comment, is not good enougth.

I believe it would abligate the developer to release the server side code that uses the library.

Where is the documentation?

>a survey

right

I tried to use it in Windows and looked like this:

Try this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/opensuse-leap-42/9nj...

Its for OpenSUSE instead of Ubuntu because I like OpenSUSE more especially comparing apt-get syntax to zypper.

zypper refresh actually refreshes the repos and not apt-get update that doesn't update anything

zypper update actually updates the packages and not apt-get upgrade

zypper dist-upgrade moves from one release to the next as opposed to apt full-upgrade because apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't remove programs with a conflict. UGH!!!!!

zypper search actually searches for packages as opposed to apt-cache search

/rant over

WHY did chocolatey go with the debian apt-get syntax :(

You probably better using Bash for Win 10. It's native now.

Or downgrade a few versions and run ANSI.SYS.

“We look forward to defending against Mr. Damore’s lawsuit"

Is not the typical PR answer when you got sued, you spect something like:

"Here at Google we are against any kind of discrimination and we deny the alleged acusations, those do not represent our values"

That is a typical PR answer, but instead they are practicality saying "yes we do all that terrible stuff, so bring it on".

It seems to me that it would make much more sense that they are looking forward to the case because they think they have a strong case that they DIDN'T do any of that stuff. It seems strange that they would look forward to a case where they were actually culpable.

Kent Walker isn't your typical corporate lawyer. Kent Walker really does look forward to crushing his opponent in court. After Kent crushes this fool, he will probably host a company-wide Q&A where he will gloat over the bodies of his vanquished enemies.
