Specifically for CouchDB, because packages provided for CentOS/RHEL were outdated and now they don't even exist.

The website seems to implicitly say that white men equals bad and any attempt made by white men to improve the situation must be half-hearted and just a PR stunt. Thus all the sarcasm. This view is not unique to this website (if they are even trying to make this claim in some form) but runs through a lot of these initiatives.

Lately, I have even witnessed people complaining that most donations come from white men charities and that this is bad (with some people even suggesting they should refuse those donations to make a point), which seems completely nonsense.

How far does it have to go for these attempts to raise awareness of a problem to turn into racism themselves?

I find MongoDB easier to deploy and maintain because it's easier to build and monitor. CouchDB with Erlang not so much (for our environment, it's totally alien).

EDIT: I made a statement about our preference, for our environment. I did not make broad claims about these DBs for other people. How am I upsetting HN?

This adversarial discourse doesn't help anyone.

EDIT: Instead of downvoting, why not provide your view of how this is helping anything?

Is there anything being discussed about Go 2.x?

I haven't seen anything about it, which I absolutely love (based on fear of a Python 3 situation).

Do they follow semantic versioning? If so, does that mean there have been 15 releases with major breaking changes?

Is that a cultural thing? Getting a piece of paper, driving to the bank to cash it? Or accepting a cheque from an account with no funds?

If that's the case, then I can let it go. However, it's puzzling that the mecca of capitalism is living on antiquated methods like that.
