The problem with opensource

Name: Anonymous 2005-03-25 0:03

The largest roadblock preventing OSS from becoming ubiquitous is not in the philosophy (not at all, fantastic philosophy) but rather in the medium. Modern, decent programming languages are simply too complex for Joe Average, reducing the contribution base for OSS down to a minority of proficient coders and crippling one of opensource's main selling points. For OSS to achieve its ideal, we need to develop simpler, more intuitive, more accessible, yet equally powerful forms of coding, such that any reasonable person using a piece of software is not limited in their ability to patch or modify it in any significant way. This is, obviously, not possible with the current state of computer science. We must overthrow tradition and embrace the future. WE MUST RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR IDEAL. VIVA LA REVOLUCION 4CHAN.

 I don't create algorithms but I don't "apply" them either. Algorithms have to be heavily modified and adapted to your problem (well, at least for me) and that's why I need a lot of maths.

I'm really pissed off by all the trolls who don't use maths in their jobs, think maths are dead and just make fun of everyone they don't agree with. Why don't you try to broaden your vision once? I'm glad my coworkers are not that narrow-minded or I would have a hard time working and increasing my knowledge everyday!
