    I, a freshman in computer science, on my first week enter some studying room with a bunch of whiteboards. I was bored cause I had to study some proto programming language and look at the whiteboard. There, some lady was writing all the 50 US states (we’re in Europe). I obviously ask the why and she says she’s procrastinating her master thesis. I decided to procrastinate too, was fun



  • You have 4 basic options for funding:

    -you rely on individual donations which doesn’t bring in enough money

    -you force people to pay for it, which makes it less attractive when compared to traditional software, and makes much of the community pissy

    -you rely on corporate money

    -you rely on government money

    None is perfect, but some amount of government funding (let’s say, 10% of what they would pay Microsoft for the equivalent software) might make sense
