The point is not that much that there are such blocking lists, the point is why admins use them. Surely that's blocking a good chunk of spam, but also legit sites.

But in reality, if you know where is the answer that you are looking for, why would you use that search engine.
I use DDG and if I want to search on the Scala docs, I use "!scala whatever I'm searching" instead of just search with DDG.
I mean, that's not a feature of the editor, is it? There may be consequences derived from that, but that's part of the features (e.g. uses a lot of memory, or it is slow, or it is hard to build from source, or whatever).
Unless the OP wants to hack that editor, and then it may make sense if they know the language.
You can't please everybody, but both Unity an GNOME shell had some very bad ideas, and it took too long to correct course (and in some cases it didn't happen). I believe some of the criticism came from people that really loved those DE, and that's why they were passionate about it.
When people don't care, they just use something else.
In the early days, Unity was more usable than GNOME (could be my hardware, perhaps; apparently my nvidia drivers were buggy and I was told to change GPU), but back then Mark Shuttleworth wasn't the best PR person always starting flames on his blog.
At the end I got tired of the almost constant drama and gave up the new desktop trend and settled on XFCE (and I couldn't be happier).
A lot of stress in "previous owners" and "before 2019". OK, fair enough. I asked them to remove my details from their DB, because I ordered something back in 2007 but I don't think I'll do it again.
The response was interesting:
"Thank you for contacting CafePress. Per your request, I will be happy to ensure that your information is no longer stored. However, I was not able to locate an account with the email address provided so it appears you do not have any information stored with us."
Yet, I got the email from them with the FTC settlement information.
I can't remember the year, but I had a Pentium 100MHz at home (with CD, which back then was optional).
You are absolutely right. There were tools, but knowing about them was a different story!
I know is not like knowing what Google thinks about this, but I'm curious about how something like what is described in the post is allowed to happen.
I don't know if this applies to you, so please remember this is an stranger on the Internet sharing an experience and not advice.
In my case if is just a project, I get on with it because when is done I can move to something more exciting or inspiring and that's my motivation to move forward. If it is just what I can expect of that role from that point on, I look for a change (move to a different team perhaps, or just change jobs).
It also helps me if I can do something different at home, in my free time. It has to be challenging and exciting, because otherwise the negative mood from work can take over and nothing will happen (and may make things worse; e.g. guilt for not working on that personal project).
Turns out the game started as the D&D of the time (AD&D), with more or less house rules; and then moved on with some "homebrew" rules that are still familiar to D&D players.
I mostly tend to say I played D&D back in the day, but the truth is, I only played actual D&D on one short one-afternoon session. I played other games instead (LoTR Middle Earth, RuneQuest and Vampire), but D&D is what people mostly understand I guess.
I'm not going to defend any social network, and I think that in essence you are right; but using email is a terrible idea.
Is just that people don't understand email any more
When I've been added to a email chain (last time at the end of the 2010s), it was an awful experience: you can't get out, people including addresses in "To" so they get added to all recipients address book (they keep a copy of each email, security depends on each user of the chain!), windows users get infected with viruses and you start getting those as well, nobody will remove anything from the emails so you get huge emails with top-posts without context on what they are replying to, ... it was a mess!
I have no reasons to think things have improved.
So perhaps a better email is needed, and I wonder if it may look like a social network.
I haven't verified that, but considering that nothing suggested that I was installing a snap app (other than me not paying attention to apt's output, I guess), I'm not sure if that's even possible. I was planning to stay with 18.04 LTS and then move to something else, but seems like either snap was there already or it has been added after I upgraded.
That, at least, has been consistent since first release of Gnome 3 over 10 years ago.
Honestly, I don't know why I tried that hard to like the new Gnome. I'm so much happier using XFCE.
So we end sharing the screen over hang outs, that is basically very inefficient and wastes a lot of CPU. But because it is normalized, it is "the standard".
EDIT: my comment was a bit unfair. I guess I could install VS Code, change my daily editor, and use it with the Live Share plugin with those using VS Code. So hang outs it is.
I remember reading some parts and thinking "wow, if someone had explained this to me like that when I was learning". But then, I'm not completely sure what would have been my experience if SICP was my first contact with CS. I started with GWBASIC, then COBOL, then C; 1st edition already existed by then, so I could have learned with Scheme!
...they refer you to the GH's releases page, where you can find binaries ready to use (I don't use Mac, but I see 64 bit and ARM64).
You don't need a Go dev env to use Hugo. I use it in Linux and I don't have a Go compiler installed.
Are those public? Very intriguing, would you mind sharing a link?
(I forgot they have a domain that redirects)
It is an "Everything / Nothing" type of content.
"The website's content means everything to the publisher, but it could mean nothing to the rest of the world."
For example:
> But this contributor UX is holding Python back
As in, fixing one character typos?
If he didn't really want to follow the process to contribute, a bug report would have been fine (which is what finally happened, reading the PR).
He ended the PR with "I unfortunately feel that I've already exhausted the amount of energy I can dedicate to this", but he had some energy left to write that twitter thread.
I used it early on when the docs where not there (IIRC), and spent some time reading the code. Very readable. Not sure if pythonic or not.
Perhaps this could work for any company size, but I guess it depends on what is your core business.
I'm a big fan of Dependency Check[1].
There are hosted services that can give you security scans, but if you don't have access to that (some have a cost) or you are maintaining an open source project, Dependency Check is mostly great (there are some issues every now and then with false positives, but the maintainers are great and responsive and they deal with reports very quickly).
There are also plugins for several building tools (e.g. sbt for Scala projects).

EDIT: this may help answering the question "do I use log4j?", because transitive dependencies can be complicated!
Using ASP and want to calculate an MD5? Oh, you need to pay an add-on for that. Want to send an email? Ditto.
Then there was PHP, with all included (and cheaper hosting, because Linux). I started working on a web shop and after a month ASP was legacy and PHP the new cool thing, together with MySQL instead of using... Access as "database" in ASP.
So basically you know that an specific SSH key signed a file, but that's all you know. Not very useful? Who's going to maintain a file with allowed signers per key?
