"Coastal" Cheddar [1] - Whole Foods sell it as "Seaside" Cheddar (but it's the same) - they sell it for approx 10x the price though. [1]: https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/kirkland-signature-co.

I certainly don't find this. I swing by Costco to buy Coca Cola and imported British Cheddar for ~1/10th the price that any of the supermarkets have it, and basically never leave with anything else. Just those two things make it w

> Is GitHub going to start verifying citizenship? As an American company they must presumably already do this to avoid violating sanctions, and least for anyone giving them money. It’s not a huge stretch to imagine they could also do so

That is fine. No-one in 5 years cares that a dev did 10 “fix test”, “ci format”, “fix misc derp”. Changes should be single units, such that bisect works cleanly to find the resulting bugs.

This was my thought too - since smithy is already out there and used in a similar domain, it would be useful to have a comparison. “Doesn’t have Kotlin and Gradle all over the show” seems like a significant advantage in favour of TypeSpec.

Why wouldn’t you just use it and fork it if there’s an issue? It’s largely just “finished” at this point. Not everything needs to be churned for years.

OpenTofu literally _uses_ HCL, with a couple of minor adjustments...
880.
by jen20 3y ago
Why? HCL itself is under the MPLv2, and the underpinning go-cty is under MIT. Both of these are perfectly reasonable licenses for even _commercial_ software to use, let alone open source.

Is it? Or should a roadworthy car be considered table stakes for actually being on the road, and one which is not is instead worth a police report?

Fortunately Bobby is near the front of the alphabet anyway!

Just to be clear: MPLv2 is a copyleft license.

Not really sure why the informative sibling reply to my question is dead (and thus can't be replied to), but I wonder if that hole is what the air switch for my garbage disposal is mounted in...

Your local bus company isn't trying to correlate your activity across multiple retailers to try to squeeze an extra few cents of value from you, though.

> Apple Pay is just as traceable if they want it to be. [Citation Needed]. On the other hand, stores like that probably already do facial recognition on customers, so it really is just intransigence to not allow contactless payments.

by jen20 3y ago
Presumably they do not because they want to track you via your credit card number, and permitting Apple Pay (maybe others too) would hinder that.

> 100% legal is only tested when brought to court A tangent, but this is in and of itself completely nuts. One should be able to read the text of the law, as written, and understand what you are and are not permitted to do - end of story

I still don’t understand how people claim Python is “elegant” given the number of files with four underscores in the name get sprinkled around repositories.

Recessed door handles to avoid MPG impact was a solved problem by the Fiat Panda, at least (probably earlier!) - the only rationale is cost, or meme copying.

> Professionals outside of software don't do that. What, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, the everliving fuck are you talking about? Professionals do this constantly. Go sit in an ER and watch the hand off between shifts.

So why wasn’t the response after day 1 of the “tough bug” something like “hey, why don’t you pair with X to get to the bottom of it?”?

I would wonder how it got to the second month, certainly - getting to the point where this kind of post-hoc analysis can actually be done is a serious failing of management.

And not even England makes trains work unless you’re (basically) rich and in a city center, or need to go anywhere other than London.
