Thank you for stepping up and commenting on this.

ETA: if someone created a virus that would just display the text "you've been hacked!" and then that virus infected thousands of computers around the world, that someone would have a visit from the FBI with very serious charges. I don't see how this is different.

I don't get how people don't understand this.

If you modify your car in your backyard sure, but it wasn't his backyard, it was the public roads, and it wasn't (just) his car, it was his car that he shared with his neighbours. And then he decided to tamper with the brakes as a "prank", knowing full well that others would then use the car.

Why was GPL better than MIT?

Because the well said "free water". And in some cases it's not even them taking water from that well, but other people who they asked to bring them tea (third party libraries).

Do you really dig through the internet history of every maintainer of every package you ever used?

You're sad that people won't overcrowd themselves to death? As developing nations transition grow to developed, population growth tends to fall toward an equilibrion that is also found in nature. It's a trend seen time and time again. Yet you don't see developed countries on the brink of extinction, so I think this fear mongering is unnecessary.

Is this just a client or is it also a server? It's not clear from their site...

It already is in the eyes of some extremist vegans.

(see the "never touch anything animal related for whatever reason" crowd but who then go on and drink gallons of cashew milk from farms of abused workers)

But:

1) you can decide to use other browsers besides Firefox if some sites don't work on it, but on iOS you can't use anything else (every browser still uses safari under the hood)

2) you can still use "chrome apis" even if you don't use chrome. More and more browsers use chrome's engine (see: Opera, Edge, Vivaldi etc.) and while I am not happy with that, it is becoming more and more commonplace.

You know what gimmicks web developers use? They use babel and other transpilers that add code bloat in the final asset since they can't use standard JavaScript because a browser doesn't implement certain apis. Or having to use third party shitty libraries as workarounds because again a browser decided they are not going to include functionality that has existed in all other browsers since 5 years.

nothing happens if you "accidentally turn on" an induction stove that you have covered with fruits, plastic or non metallic dishes

Is there a book or a course that one can use to better learn advanced types in TypeScript?

So far I'm limiting myself to basic types and iterfaces because I can't really wrap my mind around more complex stuff.

So junior level programmers are not allowed to upvote stuff on the front page, or?

Do we really feed the cows the actual whole soy plant? That sounds incredibly wasteful to me.

Or is it just that the parts of soy that we can't eat (stalk, leaves, husks, discarded beans after processing into tofu/milk/etc.) that comprise 80% of the plant, while the rest we consume ourselves?

I see this repeated over and over, but I never see any hard data, only graphs. I was under the impression that we use the non eatable parts of crops (i.e. the leaves, discarded fruit parts, roots etc.) to feed livestock, and grassy, unarable hills are also included in this stat. So it all boils down to being extremely efficient (we can't eat the parts of the plants that we discard, and we also can't eat grass from the lands where we can't plant anything else, so we feed them to animals to transform them into more food, throwing them away would be a waste).

I haven't seen any info that clearly states "this land is exclusively used to plant x squared miles of grain that will be only fed to livestock".

Also, from your link, it is clear that livestock AND fisheries produce 31% of the agricultural greenhouse gasses, while crops produce 27%, so not that big a difference.

I always remember Joe Armstrong's quote (which is an adaptation of the of Greenspun's tenth rule):

“Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Erlang.”

That is, while other languages and systems barely scratched the surface in terms of distributed programming, Erlang was perfecting all the models needed for it, because that's what it was built for. So everyone else is now playing catch-up with Erlang.

Nah, obviously everyone who works in IT makes 500k a year, has a spouse who earns the same, and can afford 1 mil houses 5 minutes from where they work. At least from what they say.

You got downvoted but you speak the truth.

How do you deal with performance issues with files not on the linux machine?

Comparing two projects by the number of commits and lines of code written. You must be a manager.

Maybe Chris and Jose are more efficient? Maybe the Elixir/LiveView code is just better written and doesn't need rewrites?

Why do so many people glorify quantity over quality?

So that people who want to use it, can?

You don't have to use it if you don't want to.

they're so generous, they didn't even finish the project!

I see different market share on statcounter[1], but both in their data and the one you provided, iOS usage has grown these past years

No iOS version means a no go for me, since I like to use the same browser for mobile and desktop.

There's a guy in their forums saying two years ago that "iPhone usage will drop to mac level usage (~8%)"[1], which is laughable.

If you make a living selling bikes, and I make an exact copy of your bike WITHOUT taking the one you have just made, am I still stealing from you?

would you be willing to share this compilation of yours?

Because there are statistics, and there are bad statistics. Indeed, only professionals are qualified to make studies, but anyone having at least a basic understanding of probabilities and statics can point out a badly thought out one.

then she can choose not to browse the list?

I get that you dislike electron, but that doesn't take away from the truth: don't like the latest version of an app? too bad, you just have to get used to it or stop using it
