As opposed to talent to manage the AWS? Sorry, AWS loses here as well.

Helped a friend make a difficult career decision (cozy job vs something hard and new + moving to a new city) that ultimately ended up with him working on the project. Glad that happened. I love to see people grow.

That's very deep water to dive into. I suggest something simpler, like an ancient irc client that asks you to sign up, or an archive extractor.

GitHub has never been a good method of clout chasing. in decades of being in this industry, I've seen < 1% of potential employers care about FLOSS contributions, as long as you have some stuff on your GH.

Vouch is a good quick fix, but it has some properties that can lead to collapsed states, discussed in the article linked here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46938811

An exposition of problems in trust ecosystems, a critique of Vouch, and a suggestion for some fixes.

can Granule let me specify the following constraints on a function? - it will use O(n) space where n is some measure of one of the parameters (instead of n you could have some sort of function of multiple measures of multiple parameters) -

Rust or Haskell. Python is subpar in terms of maintainability especially when it comes to long-running, generational, massive, codebases. Python is also massively worse when it comes to performance. Haskell strikes the perfect balance here,

Yes - high-performance Haskell code looks similar. There isn't much to be said there - it's a little less clean-looking because FP optimizes for the most useful scenario and trying to do highly advanced stuff like that will be mor

that isn't much of a problem - git repositories can be re-hosted somewhere else. carrying the bug tracker over is another issue entirely.

it's a massive crime that decades into FP, we still don't have a type system that can infer or constrain the amount of copies and allocations a piece of code has. software would be massively better if it did - unnecessary copies a

except "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion", and therefore, after each of the 9 tasks is completed, there is no time left for the 10th task. so this only works if the disaster happens very early, or i

thinking critically is left as an exercise to the reader.

i disagree with that stance. an open source project is made up of contributions by dozens, maybe thousands of people, and they almost always only contributed to that one specific repository under that one specific person's control due
