You just get a different set of problems. When you require a specific version of a library, you're making your code incompatible with anything that requires a higher or lower version of that library. You're also assumi

The problem is not that, the problem is depending on unreleased versions, instead of simply depending on the version that was written when u wrote your code. a Git submodule like approach would be much better

OR: you depend on a specific version of the library, that you know that works, and you have none of those problems.

One can argue that modules are good, but them depending blindly on newer versions like that was bad dependency management. I say this because I strongly believe that reinventing the wheel is unnecessary and can bring more problems than not.

All i'm saying is that it's better than the policies currently being applied in the U.S. And we (Portugal) are a case study that proves that. I'm worried that legalization could pass the message that it's ok, while it&#x

Here is the confirmation of such a mechanism (they simply rate limit certain repos): "All of these factors combine to make CocoaPods/Specs one of the top five most resource-costly repositories that we host on all of GitHub.com. An

AFAIK they have sharded their pages and repositories in a way that if one gets DDoS, usually it's only that piece that gets downtime (I know this because there was a problem with the Chinese government and a Github repo, that got const

Yes, you're right, I thought it was like here, in Portugal, but they actually block IP addresses and/or use deep packet inspection to do it, as far as I researched now. I know it's not as sophisticated as the blocking in Chin
