I'd like to be a time of the day programmer

like eric s raymond

why can't I be a time of the day programmer

where all the fuzz and the media come knocking at my door

and I say "come in" "I'll do this tv show" "I'll do this movie"

come on eric raymond

come down from the stars and teach us a thing or two

The heart of the Dallas Phantom Real-Time Clock family is the DS1315 Phantom Time Chip. This
integrated circuit is a combination of a CMOS timekeeper and a nonvolatile memory controller. In the
absence of power, an external battery maintains the timekeeping operation and retains data in the CMOS
static RAM. The watch keeps track of hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month,
and year information. The last day of the month is automatically adjusted for months with less than 31
days, including correction for leap year every four years. The real-time clock operates in one of two
formats: 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator or a 24-hour mode. The nonvolatile controller supplies
all the necessary support circuitry to convert a CMOS RAM to a nonvolatile memory. The DS1315 can
also be used to provide timekeeping functions with ROM.

you're not eric raymond

you're dirty old nikita sadkov with his C/C++ bullshit

*points a gun at your head*

call it C/C++ again nikita I DARE YOU

It's register level assembly. Stupid twat.

Raymond is a shithead and his bazaar model is wrong, or at best, only really works for projects with a narrow focus of utility.

The practical business benefit of Open Source (as opposed to the moral benefit of Free Software) isn't better quality software/more bugfixes. If it was, there wouldn't even be arguments over whether things like Linux-based or BSD-based operating systems were better than the proprietary ones, or GIMP vs. Photoshop, or whatever, the Open Source options just obviously would be better. The supposed quality benefits are bullshit. The real purpose of Open Source is letting corporate interests profit off of the work of unpaid/underpaid programmers, which is why they've tried their damnedest to bury the GPL and Free Software philosophy (with its emphasis on freedom for the end-user, rather than the mythical benefits of the Bazaar model). "Free Software and Open Source are just different things" is a misdirection away from actually comparing the philosophical differences (and there are some rare cases where FSF/OSI disagree on giving a license the stamp of approval, which are enlightening.) "GPL is too complicated, use something simple to understand like BSD or MIT" is just a disguise for "GPL has legal requirements to release my modified source code which runs counter to trying to make it proprietary and rake in the cash".

So tell us how you feel about open hardware. Because I have a silicon foundry in my backyard.
