| schestowitz | It raises the question "should I be paid for intellectual work as well as physical work" and draws the distinction between hardware and software. Obviously you shouldn't be charged to cut your own grass and you can volunteer to cut your neighbours grass, but isn't it entirely reasonable to build a business trimming lawns and tending flower beds? | Jan 06 11:57 |
| schestowitz | To me, the issue isn't whether we should pay for software or not - clearly if someone builds a business creating software that people want to use then they should be able to be paid to do so. The issue instead is oppressive/stupid restrictions built in that take away the 'reasonable' rights of an owner of the thing they purchase. | Jan 06 11:57 |
| schestowitz | In a way, I wonder if this expectation of continual 'free stuff' and always wanting our goods cheaper while increasing wages (if we actually have jobs?!) is one of the subtle things that's helped undermine the present world financial system. One could draw a direct link between the idea that everyone has a right to everything they want and the sub-prime mortgage crash that started this particular round of changes and protests. | Jan 06 11:57 |
| schestowitz | Obviously this is enormously simplified, but if we want all things 'free' then everyone has to buy into the system (pun partially intended). | Jan 06 11:57 |

| schestowitz | what if you design and export as code? | Jan 06 12:48 |
| schestowitz | like glade does | Jan 06 12:48 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: That is normally being a coder. A designer will design the GUI then match the code to it. | Jan 06 12:48 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: ie that is where the confit comes from. | Jan 06 12:48 |
| oiaohm | Both look at the problem from two different directions. | Jan 06 12:48 |
| MinceR | it's possible to design the GUI while writing the code which generates the dialog. | Jan 06 12:59 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: designers normally put more homework into how the user will require it to operate as well | Jan 06 13:00 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: Its not really possible todo it properly in the code development stage in most cases. | Jan 06 13:00 |
| oiaohm | Basically coder is good if you need a interface in a hurry. | Jan 06 13:01 |
| oiaohm | designer is good if you need that interface to be faster and effective to use. | Jan 06 13:01 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: same problem two different points of view | Jan 06 13:02 |
| oiaohm | Leading to massive arguements. | Jan 06 13:02 |
| MinceR | you can think in advance, make mockups, rearrange the layout later, etc. | Jan 06 13:03 |
| oiaohm | Think in advance doing mockups of the interface before coding to far in is a designers path. | Jan 06 13:04 |
| oiaohm | Coder point is you can do the layout and you can change it latter. Problem is this does cause other issues. | Jan 06 13:05 |
| oiaohm | When users have been using a interface with stuff in the wrong place. | Jan 06 13:05 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: Of course some people can manage to split the two logics. | Jan 06 13:05 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: and use the right one for the task at hand. | Jan 06 13:06 |

| schestowitz | A tablet is wonderful for consuming content, but its limits are too severe for content creation. At work I have two 24" widescreen monitors and they are quite necessary for comfortable coding. I would probably run amok if he took my monitors away and replaced them with a wennie tiny 10" tablet that doesn't even have good multitasking functions. | Jan 06 13:38 |

| schestowitz | I must tell you, an hour ago I spent time in a spiritual event that my friend had dragged me to. There was a famous speaker from India (Daddi Junki if I recall correctly, bar the spelling) and she spoke about all sorts of issues at a very abstract and religious level.
