The reason why the Linux Kernel is not a total failure is there a lot of corporate money being invested making the Kernel work.

yes because there was big money involved right from the start! /s

open source can work perfectly fine without outside funding.

and lock it

it really isn't locked though. moving all your repos to gitlab.com is a couple minutes of work.

I suggest you read the NCoC. long story short: it's not our job to make sure you don't get offended. especially by something as silly as a word.

because dumping json into a database is both trivial and bad practice :P

Table and document DBs both their places.

let me first object to the term "table DB". it's a relational DB, quit an important distinction. ms excell would be a table database, anything SQl is relational.

they both have their places for sure, but for 99.9% of the projects you really do want a relational database.

this line in particular worries me:

If someone has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do our best to right the wrong.

I'll stick to the NCoC.

don't use couchdb. in general don't use document stores. most data is relational, even though you wouldn't realize it at first. as soon as you have user accounts it's relational.

I wish work consisted of programming interesting architectures like the TIS-100.

as far as I can tell betterfap uses a naive bayes classifier. I can't imagine a better use for it.

another neat trick: angularjs totally works on embedded svg data. interactive diagrams have never been this easy!
