Countless reasons. Invent a gui client environment that is universal, works the same way everywhere, over any kind of channel, and is already implimented and supported everywhere, and utterly weightless in all dimensions (ram/cpu/

I don't have to use a thing, for free or otherwise, to observe it's nature, and nowhere in that observation is there any claim to any entitlement. It's curious why anyone outside of GH or MS leadership would even care to try

Ok those who see no problem... Let's just for the sake of argument concede that you have never had any right to privacy while crossing the border and so there is no cause for outrage here. Guy did it to himself. How was this different

We can only hope that it eventually gets decided that there can be no such thing as destroying evidence before a judge has initiated the discovery phase of a proceeding, outside of any standing operational requirements like business records

I just assumed they could tell that the world was getting close to just switching to DP if they kept making hdmi inconvenient, so the choice is be convenient or be irrelevant. I don't mean that specifically the linux kernel mattered so

I don't think smart people ever ask this question. It's an invalid question attempting to correlate unrelated dimensions. One would hope that's even the point the article goes on to make, I didn't read it. The value of b

Most such things I ever grew to appreciate, happened from some sort of example case that doinged me on the head, and then I recognized how the principle applied elsewhere. Then the understanding of the principle itself was just part of my u

Whos fault is the massive load increase, or their inability to navigate it? Did I iject copilot into every part of github? In fact not only did I not insert it, I have never even used it. Did I move their infrastructure to Azure? Did I sell

meh, it's just external undo button. It's useful. It might or might not be worth the cost, but it's not that it delivers no value or causes some harm (other than cost/reliability)

Commits are not expensive, pushes are. You can do any number of commits before you do one push, unless you are editing online, in which case every act is it's own commit & push. You can rig up a local ide to pathologically commit

Do you not think those teachers all failed Lockhart's Lament? Sure you were too young to appreciate great literature natively. That is simply a function of the human condition. You were not failing at anything, no matter how great the

Obviously the witch hunt is not ok. I mean you just exhibited why we even have the term "witch hunt" and why it's recognized as a bad thing in the first place. You burned a witch who was not a witch. I guess you must surely b

RE satisfying GPL, the google drive thing is annoying, and I called it paying a bill in pennies in another comment, But RedHat is 100x worse. They might actually be violating the gpl because of the attempt to set terms on redistribution and

No. I feel it's at least 50% of the story because FW themselves make so much hay about it. They aren't just failing at something, they are failing at the single differentiator that they charge more money for. their one and only se

This problem was not the natural result of "exiting". There is no reason FW couldn't supply a recovery method. That's not "hey that's life on the bleeding edge!" For that matter, the whole product isn&#x27
