I believe their intentions are good, and keeping functionality the same for different outputs to avoid fragmentation is good too. An alternative interpretation, however, directly in line with the fear expressed by GP, is that they're a

But it does apply to the bzip2 crate, which is the topic of discussion. Its new pure-rust implementation is libbz2-rs-sys, not bzip2-rs. The last sentence is irrelevant.

That article, and its many versions in other outlets, is a weird (successful) attempt at changing the narrative. The news that triggered all of it was that Microsoft cut off the ICC chief prosecutor's access to his email. Microsoft com

Bespoke version soup is unsustainable, but part of why people keep doing it is that it tends to work fine. It tends to work fine in part because OS-level libraries come from a different, much more conservative world, in which breaking backw

The price you quote seems to be for 5 PiB of storage, not 5 TB. The $96,000 covers the first 400 TiB, and after that it seems to be, or at least start at, $20 / TiB per month. If I understand it correctly that means it costs roughly

The reason the send button on the old design is hard to see seems to me to be that it doesn't stand out in any way. The only difference to everything else on the screen is that it's blue instead of black, but the contrast isn&#x27

Thanks for the link. That is specifically about LibGen and Anna's Archive, and links to the general agreement that when a court orders one ISP to block a pirate site, others will also block it. I suppose in situations where Sci-Hub for

It is certainly not true that all ISPs and phone companies in the Netherlands are blocking Sci-Hub. Both my home ISP and my phone provider don't, and I'm also not aware of, nor can I find any, legal requirements for ISPs to block

I agree with the core of your sentiment, but I don't think moving the framing from the company to the person is the answer. It makes it too easy for a company to put the blame on an individual that has conveniently been fired (either f
