   This is already solved by Linux, as you probably know. You can just use groups and users if you want. Also you can run Docker containers if you want, just don't force me to do it, as they're stupid.

   I don't understand the whole Snap thing. Not a single snap has ever worked in any of my computers in the past 5 years (I've tried maybe 5 or 6), and they always say they'll add themselves to the system. Add where? Where are t

   I can only hope for a decentralized alternative using the Lightning Network instead of this model where everybody has to sign up for Quid.

    Are there other frameworks that run on OpenResty? I like the idea very much and I like Lua, but I don't like this class/ORM thing.

    I tried to use ProseMirror for https://coisas.alhur.es/ , couldn't make it do the simplest goal in the world: be a Markdown editor, because documentation was confusing, very confusing. Then I tried to read the code: wha

    When GitHub started they didn't have that. Now they do and every time a programmer writes a nice tool and posts it here the first comment is from someone telling him to change the project name.

    "Upload to IPFS" means save to your local IPFS repo and "pin" it. Means you'll never be able to find it again unless you keep the hash forever in a different, external database. Then you should never change computer
