You've stated this multiple times in this thread now. Maybe consider that not everyone has the same use case as you: some people are running larger chunks of computation per node or even stateful applications. Even when they could be k

You are right. I've updated my comment above and added a second step which shows which branches can be removed.

Did you see the screenshots? Looks like it shows the branches at least.

I interpreted that differently: it's fine to have many dependencies, even third-party ones. What's a problem is having many third-parties. The maintenance and trust verification overhead for a micro "5 lines of code" dep

Well now you still need to know, or else it doesn't work. How do you choose if they all look the same?

IIRC one of the reasons was that the MiniDisc used lossy compression (ATRAC) to store audio onto the disc. So you couldn't actually store music digitally onto it, at least not the amount advertised. This was before MP3 was widespread,

Books go "out of print", and curiously enough this even happens to eBooks. Usually it's because the rights got sold or expired. If you only read bestseller list books then yes, but anything older or niche/technical may r

Some (few) stores offer DRM-free PDF versions, usually with a personalized watermark. I feel like that's a good compromise, I get a DRM-free PDF and I can only share it with people I trust not to put it online. And the watermark is a n

This link should be the actual article link, much longer than the original and not a fluff piece. There's also more info there on how they differ from regular pianos, i.e. special wood treatment, different materials, extra handles, etc

How does this work with their return policy, or with test drives? You can't effectively test the car you bought, only the "better" model. Depending on the features, not all customers might realize what they actually bought vs
