Linux Mint responded to the situation by removing snap from their repositories today[1]. I hope other distros will also follow suite.

That's where "content is king" and search engine basics come to rescue. If search engine does its job well, high quality content will always turn up before low quality ones. If a programming article turned up on page-1, then it shouldn't matter whether it was written by someone with or without knowledge gap?

Even assuming a gestation period of 28 days, the virus had all the free run to do its thing from January to March 20th in India, so why it didn't? That's a mystery. If most people were asymptomatic back then, then why did the virus specifically choose the time of March end to start showing symptoms in its hosts across the world (not just in India)?

Yes, totally. Thieving from a thief logic applies here.

Couldn't agree more to this. Even having a small tea break or watching a youtube video for distraction helps a lot. I think its something about perspectives, we cannot focus fully on a given task and also look at it from a wider perspective or different angles at the same time, so taking a break and coming back gets focus on these angles which were earlier ignored. Kind of like "boxed thinking" which self help articles always talk about.

Fully agree with you, best option is to start your own blog using either Blogger.com or a statically hosted site at Github.com (they allow static-hosting). And if you can spend some money on it, why not register your own domain and go for your own Wordpress or Drupal hosted site? Own your content and be your own master if you call yourself a developer!

So you used an SPA framework like angular/ember or is it pure JS?

That's interesting, do you get enough volume (or foresee it in future) to justify Kubernetes? What would have been the difference in cost/performance if you had hosted on plain old LAMP system?

But how can it be in free-tier if it requires credit card billing?

>> If the incumbents are so well protected that one of the most powerful corporations in America found the barriers to entry too burdensome, then how can anyone argue that there is any semblance of a “free market”?

Yes, that's the biggest problem and I'm tired of repeating it. If Google can't do it, then what hope do the other minnows and plebeians have? Its high time that the average lazy American should wake up and revolt against the establishment for this injustice now.
