For a paid font $75 for an unlimited lifetime license is not at all expensive. I suspect the difficulty isn't so much getting people to pay $75 for a font, but getting people to pay for a font in the first place. The font market is ess

package-list-packages does not do network operations in the foreground unless package-menu-async is nil. It's t by default. package-refresh-contents does, but I've always been able to C-g to abort at any time.

I hate to have to bring this up, but please don't advertise source available software as being open source. You have a cool product and making the source available is a good thing, you don't need to lie about the extent to which y

That's a good thing, because that final edit is a discrete event. At some point this ongoing process will end and the edits will stop. The people engaged in the process will likely forget or not be available to add a final timestamp,

I agree with this. There are cases where it produces good results, but there are also cases where it produces bs, and it's not always obvious. I find it to work fine for cases where I know what I want but could use a starting point, bu

We need IPv6 because we're out of IPv4 addresses. When you launch a new ISP and knock on the door of a RIR like RIPE, they don't have any IPv4 addresses left to allocate and so you're put on a waiting list. The solution is IP

I find this take interesting, and I agree with a lot of it. There are also a few things I don't agree with. Points 1 to 4 argue against the idea of rebasing as an alternative to merging. I agree with this to some extent, but in practic

I completely agree, which is why I'm not a fan of squash merges that remove such nuance. In practice a feature branch often ends up with roughly three sets of changes: 1. Some small commits in preparation for the bigger change, that ar

The combination of "newer products" and then having "our Stream service" as the only named service in the post-mortem is very odd, since Stream is hardly a "newer product". It was launched in 2017 and went GA i

What you describe is the explicit grant flow and the exchange of the code for an access token automatically protects against this vulnerability. The bugs here are in the implicit grant flow where the redirect doesn't include an opaque

One of the things they do is have the number of trackers on a website affect its ranking (negatively). I imagine that is an effective signal in cases like this.

Fastmail is very good and has been running for 24 years, with good deliverability. Migadu I hear is good. There's quite a few email providers that aren't Microsoft or Google that have their shit together.

For an online music store with DRM free downloads I like Qobuz. Available quality depends on the album/song, but if something is not on Bandcamp it's a good, no-nonsense alternative.
