Also the numbered quotation format is really without indentation. If I recall correctly in restructuredText you can do the same to do quotations correctly, and you could also put in strings instead of numbers, e.g. [<Author><Year&g

Let's rephrase it. China and the US probably have very good guesses almost all of the time. So the Chinese government can probably provide a very small area to search for him, if they didn't apprehend him themselves.

Not to say you are wrong, but why do you claim that your one source is more right than the one source that is the article? Just saying that there's a book that says otherwise shouldn't be proof. E.g., I bet I can even find a book

This looks a lot like getting short term profit increases for losing long term control. I wouldn't do it, at least not with just Airbnb suggestions.

Your current setup is probably already quite stable. Why switch to another? You probably underestimate the learning effort and the required effort to keep your stuff running in a long-term maintainable way on k8s.

Yes, that's what most people think at this point. If you look at pictures of his mother you also know who bullied him as a kid (and maybe even today).

Sure if you put enough effort in you can make everything usable and cheap. But why put in the effort into that instead of investing it into building a system that naturally fufills such requirements? Kubernetes was never intended as a syste

It sounds very attractive to developers, and I myself was a huge fan of this way of thinking for a long time. Sadly real life teams are never even close to this. And there are reasons for that, which we might like or not. But they have to b

It doesn't make sense for yourself. The idea is to have one person tracking another (group of) person(s) and thereby having some feedback and motivation. Maybe you can grow a team with other freelancers and track each other?

The thing is that someone saying "I don't like the new UI" doesn't say anything. Always when you change something that more than 10 people use at least one person will be unhappy with a change. What they hopefully do is

Btw git is already running on SSB (Scuttlebut protocol): https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25n92DiQh7ietE%2BR%2BX%2FI403LQoy... There it has issue tracking, Readme parsing etc. Looks pretty githubby to me.

No criticism intended but how is git based on a merkle tree? Commits reference each others hash to build a DAG, but in a merkle tree, if I understand correctly, the non-leaf nodes are actually only having the purpose of simplifying a hash c

The funny thing is that a huge part of the world hasn't realized yet that a blockchain is in fact a p2p network with the addition of increased trust in the form of proof-of-work. If you could define work on a bug, providing a changeset

It is theoretically possible though, that if you find a usecase for a protocol that happened to be not used for a hundred years, that you implement it and then use it. Not even the document about the protocol is necessary if you remember it

My understanding is different: Shorting a stock means borrowing it and paying a fee for borrowing it. Then selling the borrowed stock and hoping when you buy it back it's worth less. If the borrower doesn't want his stock back and

I hope so much that we find out what the actual political game here is. That this kind of stuff happens now, shortly after Linus takes a break, is not a coincidence. That has been growing there for quite some time. But who and why? I don&#x

I'm a huge fan of FOSS, but do you really think that you have full control over any modern piece of software? I think that underestimates how many people actually work on such a project and how many new updates we're getting on a
