So... it's compiled... like literally every other program every made?

What exactly makes compiled code special? EXEs are compiled code. The term "run-only" is stupid. You have to be able to read the thing to run it, and the computer can read bytes just fine, so... where's the problem?

"Tragedy of the commons".

Building a walled garden can be bad, but allowing free and unfettered access to an open field for everybody's use can too.

Also I wrote a song called Caves of Steel.

Hey! I was thinking about you but had no way to get in touch. Ping me somehow!

Sorry I’ll do better next time my bad

I don’t know if she did, and don’t care. She was great and we were sad to see her go.

I left because the company was bought, and the new owners laid off some of its more expensive long-tenured employees, since they were putting the site effectively into maintenance mode, trying to sell if off. They just wanted to keep ThinkGeek and didn’t care to improve the other properties. I was forced out, but I was there a long time, and it was good for me to move on when I did.

So you did not read the story. OK.

So the text contradicts the headline: it is not about climate change, but about criticizing the company in public.

This is a fake news headline. Please fix it.

(I worked with Maren briefly. She was great to work with. I also worked at Slashdot for many years, and this headline is trash.)

Hey now, don't be raging on the white hat for doing white hat things. Not all of us have the meme darkness in our souls.

Had to Google to find out that they actually meant a trolley system at street level.

For everybody in the US: "tram" = trolleys on rails in the street. Just so you know.

Why are you touching all those paper towels? Grab one, throw in the cart, get on with your damn day.

Most people do not take that kind of time to comparison shop. If they can just deliver me the damn towels, then that's fine, I do not have brand loyalty toward most household products, nor do I need to molest my items in order to determine that it's a paper towel.

As in, have they figured out how to make their burger taste like a burger? Or the fish taste like a fish?

Because the burger is straight garbage. I don't understand the hype here, those things do not taste like real meat in the slightest. Texture isn't bad, but the flavor is just wrong.

A true believer in ... what?

No, it is not related to capitalism. Many Marxists share the view I am espousing, in fact.
