YAML has far too many features and doesn't let you structure data well for this use-case. There's no concise way to provide typings for its fields, for instance - note how every field requires two lines in the examples, far too ve

This is a use-case for which a DSL is well-suited. They would be wise to abandon YAML.

This is great. Thanks for sharing. I echo the author's sentiments and I think you ought to choose better colleagues.

No: they need to stop using analytics. It's cost-prohibitive to obtain informed consent for literally all users, which is kind of the point.

Tracking users is unethical. The law is there not so that you can wiggle your way around it, but to make a statement about this behavior. Laws are not scripts and they are not interpreted by computers. You are going to get fined for doing t

Surely it cannot be me who is wrong, it is all of those who are insulted by my work who are in error.

Why is the lack of length questionable given its stated goals? Resource constrained hardware is not a stated goal, by the way, quite the opposite. See 2.13: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html (and 2.11 for

Well, we are a startup, we've only been here for 2 years and our product is still in alpha. But we are already profitable and sustainable, and have been for a while - that counts as viable in my book. We're going to have to come u

I'm not sure why this is supposed to be a meaningful difference. We write open source software and make money doing it. Why does it have to apply to every kind of software project to be valid?

We pay two full-time software developers, actually, and are likely to hire a third next year. We don't pay especially generously, but we do all make a living and we're satisfied with our income. Plus, we earn more from the consult

SourceHut proves this wrong. Every single line of code we've written is open source, since day one. There are no periodic code dumps, no prototyping in private, no open core with paid extensions. We accept patches from the public. Our

WebXR is also completely inane. What users are you "shipping" to? A tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a percent of internet users? You have a massive effort ahead of you, and you won't get there by chasing distraction

Is Servo planning to get back to the whole "writing a web rendering engine" part, and backburner the "let's play around with VR and stuff" plans? Because until then, I don't think Servo is especially interestin

You don't have to sign up for most mailing lists to send an email to them. The default permissions for new lists on SourceHut allow postings from non-subscribers. It's very common to fire off a patch without subscribing.
