That’s not a good example. You simply don’t have the rights to redistribute a Windows ISO, even if you need a license to use it. So a C&D is justifiable. Microsoft usually doesn’t care though. You’ll be perfectly fine sharing legal stuf

Haha, I see. That's a blade center with 8 "PCs", each supporting one PCIe x16 card and some supporting an additional x16 card (with only 8 lanes connected). It's not really comparable to this project.

Looks nice. But where is all the bandwidth for 16 TB 3 ports supposed to come from? That’s 64 PCIe 3.0 lanes, mind you. Adding to that, 32 PCIe 3.0 lanes for the graphics cards, 16 PCIe 2.0 lanes for the TB 2 ports, 2 PCIe lanes for the Eth

Yes. This is called Overdraft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdraft It’s a form of credit granted to you by the bank. It’s usually limited. You wouldn’t usually get a $2m credit either. :)

Because people feel like this is worth thinking (read: getting worked up) about. I think so, too, because I cannot image how this is a good idea. Blowing pollutants into the upper(-ish) atmosphere, what could possibly go wrong?

Rent can be increased, of course, but only within limits. Limits that the tenant must enforce “manually” by going to court.

You say tooling, but then talk about libraries. I think both are just as numerous for nearly all popular programming languages. It’s just that JavaScript is currently “hot shit”, so all this stuff is a lot more visible. There are tons of li

As much as I like Firefox, it’s not usable on my “eco” PC (Celeron N3150, 8 GB RAM). Chrome is. It’s really unfortunate that developers of many interesting products (or websites!) seem to be forgetting about CPU efficiency. The Atom editor

Hm, depends on the business, I guess. Because from my experience, most business algorithms are proprietary and don’t have proper specifications. You can’t just use them somewhere else. You have to recreate them from scratch.

Not all development involves GUIs. Well, let’s go even further and say most development is not GUI-related. Business logic and algorithms is what it’s all about.

Unless SmartScreen complains, the order of dialogs and buttons on those dialogs is exactly the same for both signed and unsigned programs. They only differ in content/design elements. That's not what I'd call prominent. There

Instead of "50% in size" I'll assume "50% fewer dependencies", because I think that's the point here. I believe that creating a module without relying on other modules will likely lead to reinventing the wheel.

I don't know, I found debugging with IntelliJ's Go plugin intuitive and well-working. Pretty sure it uses Delve under the hood. I think strong opinions are helping Go not being "yet another language". So that's good
