From the complete lack of information on your location I conclude that you live in South Africa and you assume that everybody else live there. Am I right?

Wrong, there's no vi in the pull request. It's Vim's code.

I hate this workflow. I need to copy-paste the URL from terminal to browser. Even if I used a webmail, I would need to constantly go there and search for a new mail every time I'm logging in instead of having the login form filled on m

The reverse is also true: it's far simpler to remember the 10-20ish options of the erlang.mk plugins you use than hundreds options of various rebar plugins. There is no significant difference between the two.

My own makefiles are less than 20 lines, too, but they use erlang.mk instead of rebar3. You don't get to claim simplicity if you use rebar.

If "yes", then you still don't need blockchain . There are better protocols, like DHT. The only time you need blockchain is when you need to tell which of the two related statements was issued earlier and at the same time yo

So basically, 1) is like keeping account related data in LDAP with per-MTA replicas, 2) is like collecting statistics, and 3) is like forwarding e-mail messages to another system to handle there? Did I get that correctly? And what is 4) &qu

Which is very funny, because you'd get the same without decorators by simply using properly defined RPC protocol instead of ad hoc developed entangled mess that passes as REST.

Half of the rant is about things OpenSSL has no control over, like MacOS not shipping openssl(1) and associated man pages or LibreSSL disguising in command line as OpenSSL, and most of the other half is complaining about complexity of X.509
