Not only that but also the security implications. I always though that is was really crazy that people are just willing to download megabytes of arbitrary code from sometimes unknown sources without doing any security audit whatsoever. And

If you are a masochist, it’s for sure fun. If not, you really won’t like your installation constantly breaking, not being updatable without great trouble and just not being able to be relied upon in general. Not to mention this is illegal.

Wether it’s right or not, likes are perceived as social validation. When a company is buying likes, not only this is not disclosed but also gives a false sense of approval by a community which is not only deceiving for the customers but als

Same issue. Once you enter subjective territory of what is good and what is bad, you are looking for troubles, especially if a for profit company is behind providing such a service. An obvious conflict of interest arises.

They would be sued to hell as the role of an isp is not to be a regulator of what a company can and can not do.

The thing is, even “proper tooling” is a nightmare. Tons of consistency issues in APIs, poor documentation, boto3 is atrocious where services names are passed as strings and why not use ‘ args’, ‘ *kwargs’ so you don’t know how to use the m

I never really was fond of this idea. I like pages as they allow me to visually separate content in smaller chunks, even more so than paragraphs alone which I find especially useful when going through very technical documents. I really like

This was really nice when working with colleagues on an rfc “check out page n” instead of “search for this string” as anchors may be sometimes too broad when being specific. What I’d love is some kind of line selection feature where a speci

Possible don’t mean ubiquitous. You get no support and plenty headaches when you start to do that sort of weird, unsupported things with a product.

There’s no network latency involved as it’s an in memory, embedded database. Also, max throughput here is ultimately a sum of how fast the memory allocator is and memory bandwidth which, even with a poor implementation would be orders of ma

You are right. Thinking about it, my previous point may be heavily biased by how “free software” sounds and how the wording is used in my native language.

That's really a stance of the FSF I dislike, redefining "Free" to something that was ideologically pleasing to them but that means something absolutely different for everyone else. Creating tons of confusion and not helping t

I’m curious of why did you go on the path of using chrome debugging functionality instead of implementing an HTTP proxy which would provides the benefit of behind browser-agnostic too. May you expand on that please?

Lots of boilerplate and error-prone code can also be avoided by implementing `drop` on relevant types, this can yield to pretty interesting APIs in the web space.
