This conversation been a thing since at least the leftpad event. It's just how the js ecosystem works it seems. The default library is too small perhaps?

I don't know the word but it's similar to arguing morality or public policy from the current status of the law.

The difference is that there are corporate alternatives to OSM, and they're popular. The closest alternative to Wikipedia is asking an LLM to read Wikipedia for you.

The problem has more to do with editors. The theory is that less visits leads to less editors in the long run.

Dismissing individual cases of use of those words is probably wrong, but noticing an uptick in broad popularity is very relevant and clear evidence of LLMs influencing language.

Rust's main toy/experimental OS RedoxOS is already there and has a microkernel.

I also don't see why give so much prominence to the obviously cheating first place. Trying to trigger some envy in us?

The UN is many things. I guess most reports are a product of the secretariat/bureaucracy and the independent agencies more than the UNGA and the UNSC which is where the diplomacy happens. Although as usual the journalists failed to cit

There has been some talk of actually internationalising Pix, but from what I understand, those uses that exist now outside of Brazil are a kludge for the benefit of Brazilian tourists.

Isn't it much more likely that a court would order the code published instead of restricting the use of an extremely popular payment system and brake half of the economy? I mean, they blocked WhatsApp (95+% usage) before so who knows,

This was a whole controversy in Brazil. There was a conspiracy theory that the banks wanted to sabotage the Pix rollout because they would lose out on the fees for using the old transaction systems. In any case, there is a lot more money ci

From the comments it seems it supports direct person to person transfers, but how easy is it to use it for payments? Can you use SEPA to pay for your groceries? Or buy something on the Internet?

Cashback is just giving part of the profit margin of the fees charged on the transactions to the customer. I would rather that profit margin gets split between the customer (lower prices) and merchant. Also, didn't the EU eliminate ca

This is also true for Pix.
