I've wondered if you can get a system where groups of 20-30 people (so extended family, maybe a group of friends, parents at a school) appoint one of their members to research issues and vote on their behalf. I already do this by defau

I think the real lesson is that under enough pressure every large system leaks. Anything that gatekeeps millions of real dollars (search engines, stock markets, Amazon reviews, insurance claims, etc) will constantly be exploited and patched

Github is deeply subsidized by Azure's marketing budget and benefits from larger scale. Gitlab can't compete head-to-head; they'll have to pivot or partner soon.

*speculation warning* We're still not comfortable checking if rationals are equal in any major language... there's a long way to go. I could see a future high-level programming language (think Python design goals) using the rigoro

They could do more part verification, but it might take twice the time and 3 times the money for the same insights. Just launch some prototypes and see what happens.

At least for C# ASP.NET it's basically what you described. There's a few optimizations, for example the threadpool has pretty smart autoscaling to maximize throughput.

I wrote an "anything-regressor" in SymPy, where you provide an equation (like y=mx+b) and a dataset of x's and y's, and it solves for constants to get a line of best fit. Super simple to implement and worked for any equa
