> I think that's mainly cultural, actually. Yes, that's my point. It doesn't matter if your protocol is decentralized as long as your business processes rely on having a blessed authoritative repo, which most do. Yes, you

I used to work for a company that used on-prem BitBucket. And even there, "Stash is down" caused development to grind to a halt. Yeah, sure, our outages weren't synchronized with the rest of the world's outages, but the

Just look at git adoption. Git's selling point is that it's decentralized and distributed... but just look at the shitshow that happens whenever GitHub goes down. Git may allow for developers to all pull from each other, but in pr

See, I'd approach it a different way. Don't even give them the option of building their own UI. Require all companies who provide any kind of subscription service to implement specific API hooks that interact with a government por

I only used "the US" and "Ireland" as examples. It also happens at companies where both offices are in the same timezone or if employees in one location work on the other location's time (the latter was the case at

The latter is what working at every multinational is like, remote or no. Your company may not have any remote employees, but if four people on a team are at the company's US headquarters and the fifth is in the company's office in

I mean, there's no reason you can't buy used. (though, yes, it phenomenally sucks that you can't buy one new anymore)

"3 days a week" is untenable because it requires that you live within an 8-hour drive of your office. If they want to make a mandatory mix of remote and non-remote work, it should be like oil rigs, where you go to the office to wo

Dallas is pretty fine. For a few years, I lived within a 10-15 minute drive to my office on a $60k salary. Inner-ring suburb and not downtown, but most of the offices here are in the inner-ring suburbs. (and if that sounds low, don't w

The best way I can describe Nim is that it marries Python syntax with Modula-3 semantics. It's not just "static-typed, compiled Python", it's the modern inheritor of the entire Algol-Wirth superfamily of languages. The s

Nim just looks like a dream language to me. It's a fusion of Python and Modula-3 with incredibly expressive macro support (almost as capable as Lisp!) and nifty features like UFCS. I just wish I had the opportunity to use it. Every tim

On the other hand, you also have languages like Danish where the pronunciation is just as messy as English.

Just imagine: if this is how they treat someone with Chris Lattner's reputation, think about how they'll treat a new contributor writing their first new feature proposal. It's not a project I'll ever want to touch.

Notable has most of what you want except for the git integration. Though the author maintains that you can just save your notebooks to a git repo.

The purpose of antitrust law is to prevent monopolies, not to prevent industry consolidation. Consolidation is fine in the eyes of the law, but monopolistic behavior isn't. No antitrust action will be taken because even after all these

GitHub has always owned 100% of the project from the day the developer created their account. The developer owns the code, yes, but the account itself and the actual GitHub project structure is 100% owned by GitHub. From a legal perspective

The developer only owns the code, not the account. GitHub owns 100% of all accounts on their service.

Are you saying that it's a violation of the MIT license to distribute MIT-licensed code if the author asks that you take it down? Because I can assure you, that's not how the MIT license works.
