There's a lot of problems with this idea for me. Here's some examples. 1. I live in an area where I have limited options for fast internet. I'm regularly running into problems with my attempts to install anything with Snap. O

Seems to me that "open source alternative" is missing the key thing which the company provides. Which is support, and a button for "call us" as an enterprise plan.

How do people not smell these from like a mile away? Must be proposals to people very new to this sort of work. To get me interested enough to even open a document, there's a lot you would have to get right before I hit that step.

And of course, each project will eventually no longer be green field. While it can help you understand code blocks, I'm not sure that it can help you understand an application as a whole. I don't know that it can help discover edg

And this is what you might say while you're learning. As you gain more experience, you realize that there's a wide range of solutions with some spectrum of a fit to your situation. A given solution may fall down in certain cases.

Those kids were probably from relatively poor families. The neighborhood I live in, the kids of person who is probably the most well off hardly leave the house. When they do, they are closely watched by the helper.

Nah, I miss the hobby web. The money doesn't have to come from somewhere. I don't have to pay to see friends. I don't have to pay to walk downtown. There's a lot that I can do without having to pay people. Most of the SE

I get what you're saying, but the article is talking about a development environment. I may be off, but devops is generally concerned with delivering an app to production and then keeping it alive. The development environment may not b

This was similar to my take. Is the issue that they aren't as tech savvy? Or is the issue that they are more likely to feel ashamed? Maybe older workers feel more comfortable in their roles? I have come across a mountain of references

Just to help people out. If you can't write out the title as a conditional statement in Ruby, you're not the intended audience. Though it still may be interesting as a discussion in conditionals in general.

The trouble with the idea of banks being accessible, is that you also need to deal with KYC checks. Not all financial things require them, but it's creeping. I wonder how many homeless people have no ID.

If you login to see the activity, then they stop charging the fee (I assume for another 12 months.)

If I'm reading this correctly, it's only for accounts with 12 months of inactivity. If you go for a year without logging into the service, then maybe you're not a Paypal customer anyway. Note, Venmo is owned by Paypal.

Every network is unique, I don't think you could ever replace Twitter. Anything not Twitter is going to be different. Twitter itself is constantly changing. A better question might be, what are you CURRENTLY using as a place to find co

BTC is open source, decentralized, and you can mine it. The existing coins were mined. People may use the tool for scams, but that doesn't mean that the tech itself is a scam. By contrast, many alts were pre-mined or similar and initia

With open source apps though? My guess is the idea of a store is a commonly known UX (App store, Play store.) And the snaps give you a way of installing more updated versions of software than the package repos provide.

I think the issue is mainly with the principle of asking someone to run a shell script to do an installation. People who are security-minded, will check the script first. Those same people know that most won't do that.

Right, because there could be a security vulnerability in any one of those 100 lines of the Bash script. ;)

Your story illustrates one of the difficult things about alcohol, which is that people who drink don't belong in one category. It's unhelpful to think of people with a "problem" as alcoholic, IMO. All of these situations
