What makes you think it’s a clone rather than a case of not-invented-here syndrome?

Which makes you wonder if there must be some good reason why they’re still doing it.

Two words: vertical integration.

Or a brand. Look how far branding got Apple!

Chrono Trigger reference?

If there is a document web, it needs to have paid subscriptions baked in. Like a 404 page but for those who aren’t paying subscribers, and maybe even a way to show an article preview.

That’s the only way monetization would work, other than selling personal data or relying on goodwill. And like it or not, profitability is a necessary part of writing for the web, for many people and almost all organizations.

That's a national holiday in another country. This is different.

Isn’t there some saying about analysts and how they often tell you what’s already the case, but almost never tell you what’s possible? I feel like that applies here.

Syncthing?

It is an issue with the media. It's also predictable. If you name your article in a way you know will get blown out of proportion in that way, you are complicit.

Or if we're keeping with the movie references, "I do not think that means what you think it means."

To be fair, you could make the same argument that TLS is moot because everything at the other layers (routing, application, and even hardware) is extremely vulnerable to attack. MITM is still a very real thing.

If anything makes it moot, it's not other technology; it's social engineering attacks.

Here is what your comment boils down to:

"A."

"But B!"

>> "But still, A." <<

Google Fi uses T-Mobile in the background. Depending on what you mean by "service probably isnt [sic] as good", you may either be wrong or be making a niche point.

What, so now displaying an error message means you're responsible for the error? See some of the other threads about why Apple might not like playing dirty to go behind T-Mobile's back--each one needs the other for its good reputation.

Do you know anyone like this? All such people I know prefer the UX on iPad.

Just start writing. Publish it somewhere, anywhere. GitHub Pages is probably the easiest for you, and may help if Medium leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You can host it from your own domain later with minimal changes.

Why are you dismissing Substack, by the way? There isn't a single platform on earth that will conjure up a readership from nothing, and Substack is no exception. It seems like it would be fine for your purposes, I don't see any reason to reject it either.

My advice: stop procrastinating and start writing. I used to be in the same place as you. GitHub Pages + Jekyll are your friends.

> When I reached this point in the project, I found there was no clear path to translating what I'd developed into a static language (C++) because many of the ideas and systems I'd created in Io simply couldn't be expressed in C++ - or they made no sense there.

I’ve had a very similar experience with Haskell.

But should most people do it primarily for that reason? At the end of my 4½ years, I think not.

I’m not interested in kicking the can down the lane, I just want this stuff to be sustainable.

I think people kept it taboo for as long as they could because: people were literally dying due to low vaccination rates, which were caused in large part by such specious conspiracy theories. Fact checkers did not do a 180, it is still widely considered a conspiracy theory, and its very existence harms public health even if there's a remote possibility it's true.

“Some scientists agree that the possibility of a lab leak should be examined as part of the ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19, though they have expressed concerns about the risks of politicization.”

They also don't listen anymore, thanks to echo chambers.

No, half of everyone is below median :)

I wonder if ZFS falls prey to the same issue. I've heard good things about it otherwise.

File format support is baked into the OS. Apple actually makes static linking very difficult for exactly this reason--so they can reliably introduce support for new file formats on OS upgrade, rather than some apps needing to catch up.

That's government by the majority, not the whole. Democracy is “a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state” (OED; emphasis added).

Won’t do much against my $5 pair of scissors!

I don't think either of has met someone who engages in actual torture, but I imagine they rarely, if ever, “give up”.

This is fantastic!!! Also: no love for fish? ;)

Or, in keeping with the spirit of the post: think long-term and give the battery a chance to rest, then read it later :)
