True | revscat | null | (I [mostly] agree with you. Playing devil's advocate.)
Naming things is incredibly important. I've spent 5+ minutes at a time just staring at my monitor, trying to come up with an appropriate class/method/member name. For classes and methods, thinking up a good name is important because it makes you think about what, exactly, this thing is doing. There have been numerous times that, while searching my inner Thesaurus for *just* the right word(s) to describ a method or class, I realize that there's a better way to do it/structure it.
This obviously ties into points 1, 3, and 4 in your list.

True | General_Mayhem | null | I had a gig in college rewriting a 20-year-old shitshow of C and BASIC. The concept was thought up by a professor who got her brother to do the coding once she got the NSF grant, and the result was pretty damn ugly. It did a bunch of database math, so I was remaking it to work over the web using a SQL database rather than going through dBase files one line at a time.
The worst part of it was an array that (a) was created in one file and not used (just written to and read from save-files twice) until 2 files later, (b) was vitally important to the core database math, and (c) served a function that was not even mentioned in any description of the files that I had ever seen. It was named "dataarray."

True | berkut | null | > movies are still limited to a very small time per frame, raytracing is still used sparingly, and as I wrote, good commercial renderers are hybrid.
Sorry, but this is rubbish.
VFX Studios are happy to wait days for frames to render (although they'd obviously want them as fast as possible), what they want to cut down on as a priority is the time artists have to wait for renders / compositing / lookdev to be done. Raytracing helps immensely here, as with simple 2-bounce GI, Arnold can render quite heavy scenes (at least good enough for lookdev) in seconds. It means the artists don't have to composit different passes together (specular, ambient occlusion, etc) to get the final image, so they can work a lot faster.
VRay isn't hybrid, and Arnold (really taking over the high-end VFX render space) isn't either. In fact, it's the rasterisers like PRMan and Mantra which are using raytracing more, as it allows them to cast camera differential rays which allow them to calculate the correct amount of filtering for materials and the smallest level of displacement needed per pixel very easily, which they wouldn't be able to do otherwise. | null | 0 | 1316543522 | False | 0 | c2lalhb | t3_kldfr | null | t1_c2lalhb | t1_c2la99q | null | 1427624711 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

And how do they violate the license agian? Because their source is actually shipped with their product. That's right, you only have to share the source when you release your product into the wild.

If you bailed them on this, you're process is seriously flawed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others"
Historical references
Although the Dunning–Kruger effect was put forward in 1999, David Dunning and Justin Kruger have quoted Charles Darwin ("Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge") and Bertrand Russell ("One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision") as authors who have recognised the phenomenon. | null | 0 | 1316543929 | False | 0 | c2lanso | t3_kls47 | null | t1_c2lanso | t3_kls47 | null | 1427624741 | 20 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | MarshallBanana | null | > it ensures that I can read and modify other code that others have written and that they can do the same to my code.
But it doesn't really do that: The author who licenses the code does that. What it does do is place restrictions on you when you try to do that, because the author, and RMS, do not trust you to be a good citizen and share your code. They feel they need to *make* you do this, rather than trust that you will weigh the pros and cons of doing so and come to the same conclusion they themselves did.
Thus, it kind implies that they think there *are* good reasons to keep the source closed, and they want to take away your choice of doing so because it is not in *their* best interest.
You might even stretch the argument so far as to say that using the GPL implies that you believe open source is an inferior model, which people need to be forced into. | null | 0 | 1316544231 | False | 0 | c2lapdp | t3_kl7h0 | null | t1_c2lapdp | t1_c2lalfj | null | 1427624774 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | c0de517e | null | Yes for some productions raytracing is heavily used, VRay is very popular.
On the higher end though PRMan (and to a degree Mental Ray), is still the champion from what I know, even some CG studios like Blur are switching to it as the scene complexity rose.
Admittingly though that might be more because it has solid programmable shading and it's built do be robust than because of the fact it's hybrid. It's a big discussion also because in the real world there are also other considerations on the design and history of a software that made it popular or not, other than its strict algorithmic merits.
I'm not too interested in going in depth into these, I wanted just to show how raytracing and rasterization are complementary and one is not really superior to the other. | null | 0 | 1316544502 | False | 0 | c2laqvj | t3_kldfr | null | t1_c2laqvj | t1_c2lalhb | null | 1427624781 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

The author puts his work into making something and he releases it to others to benefit from, but in return he asks that you do the same. This isn't a complicated concept.
The author could choose to keep the code closed and not share it period. What you're complaining about is that people aren't just giving you the product of their efforts without strings attached. Don't like it go make it yourself or pay somebody to do it.
>They feel they need to make you do this, rather than trust that you will weigh the pros and cons of doing so and come to the same conclusion they themselves did.
They feel that in return for you benefiting from their work you should let others benefit from yours. I think that's a perfectly fair deal. But again if you don't like it, don't use it. As a developer I think it's an incredibly fair and generous idea.
